Tanks imbalancment in normandy

i see many many people lamenting that jumbo vs pz IV is not balanced.
but the puma vs the stuart? and the pz III vs the m8 scot?, no one talk about them.

the stuart vs puma there is nothing to say the puma is better in every single ting.

the m8 scot vs the pz III, shoot the side of the turret of the pz III or you’re dead

if they ever remove the jumbo they need to also change the german tanks.

no one wants to talk about this?

(Don’t forget about their anti-infantry performance.)

i want to say because the people that usually tend to complain without thinking about the game as a whole i’m under the mind set that jumbo is a wall and should be treated as such

strangely i found the pz III have much better HE that the m8 scoot that is literally build for it.

Jumbo, PPSH, t-50, Stuka, MG 34\42

Did I forget something?

Really? I haven’t played M8 but from reciving end it seems to have the best HE in the Normandy.

i’ve played a lot of both and idk why but i feel that the pz III have a splash radious higer than the m8 (with the same damage)

I don’t play Normandy,it’s too noisy there,although Junkers 188 is some kind of madness,1500 kg of bomb load.

yeah and at level 4 the germans get the bf110 with 4 21cm rockets

From quick search it looks like M8 should have 503 g or 676 g of TNT while PzIII should have 454 g of unspecified explosive.
But explosion energy comparasion is very interesting.
M8: 2104 kJ-2828 kJ
PzIII: 1900kJ

Of course that’s only theory. We have no idea how devs modeled those.

I thought you were talking about the BF in Moscow,where he has 2x250kg instead of useless missiles.

to be fair i didn’t specify which one so my bad on that one but 21cm rockets aren’t something to ignore

The stuart is slower, but better at maneuvering on the spot or at low speeds. It’s lower magnification gunsight is better for situational awareness when driving from the gunners slot as well. Pumas have a bad tendency towards tunnel vision, since in the gunsight they can hardly see right beside them. Overall the Puma and Stuart are about even, in my mind.

Useless thing,I like his 30mm guns better.Although the IL 2 in Berlin is much better in this sense,it has 2 37mm guns.

i have seen 30+ airstrikes from bf110 so if you have a spotter you can easily do well with the rockets

I’ve only seen this from the m8 rockets

yes but you need to count the ap vs the apc, multiple times happend that a stuart shoot me i’ve turned and blow him up in 1 shot, and this problem of the situational awareness could be a non problem if the team actually would use the ping.

Krauts won’t spot a tank even if it’s running over them at their spawn. (True stories.)
