for normandy, ( at least for me ),
your best friends are gonna be K98s, G43s, MP34s, Mp40s ( or any berettas/mp35s if you like them more as long you have a good aim with all and managed to controll their recoil. ) and the puma or Ju188 until you will unlock the panzer IV H and other shinier toys such as mps/stgs.
( Scrap the pz IV J, it’s horrible in all sights. slow, clumsy, and ugly. trust me, don’t even bother to waste upgrades or time with that tank. as soon you unlock the H, you can think about upgrading that one or buy the gold order tickets. although, i suggest to keep one for the panther, as the road ahead can be quite long and upgrades for panthers are expensive. )
then, you can think to replace the mp40 with mp43s, and then stg44s.
g43s for me are an ever green and relatively easy to upgrade. since most of the maps are med to long close quarters.
while you are at it, you can use k98s and kar 98s with grenade launchers.
next thing that i suggest you to invest, are explosives. and that’s pretty much it.
although, generally, it’s best to use stuff that you like and get comfortable with.
it’s hard to suggest specific specializations between mortars, anti tank squad, flametrooper one or assaulters if not mg, you can never go wrong with them.
although, i can say that the sniper one, you might wanna avoid them outside the FG42II and use one inside the mortar squad like i did because they aren’t really effective for the time being. :
and i will link the rest of my other squads. not to copy, but to understand the composition i go with:
other generic advices that i can give you is, to starter, try to at least complete all red tech trees for type 1 soldiers. upgrade the soldiers that you got in order to have efficent units somewhat right away, and don’t bother too much with the other tech tree UNLESS you are planning to use those weapons that the squads comes with, or willing to use that squad.
because quite frankly imo, the anti tanker, tanker type I squad ( even though puma is very effective if upgraded and used correctly ) and sniper squad are kinda useless outside the red tech tree and maybe the yellow. as their main weapons ( mainly the sturmpistole ) is questionable at best.
hence, get those tech tree done, and you can then forget about the squad. since you can then unlock the panzerfaust and use it on a type 1 soldier. therefore, you can avoid the grind for type II which youu can then always do later. but i’m more of the base idea of having a solid base ground for then slowly but steady replace.<
although, this is based on my experience which my be different from yours. so always use a pince of salt as they say, and try to always aim for fun rather than full efficiency. ( cus i’d shoot my self if i would have to run with fg42IIs everywhere, and mp43s. )
