Why Axis has lower playerbase in ALL campaigns except Normandy

Lower playerbase means:
Either 1. there are many high-level or middle-level players in the opposite team, your team is full of players with extremely low level.
or 2. Most players in your team are bots, and all players in your opposite team is real ppl.

In literally every campaign except Normandy is the fact that Axis has lower playerbase, easy to observe. Why? And how could this problem be fixed if more campaigns like Stalingrad would be introduced?

Fix T-50 or bring equal tank in Moscow, give PPsh 41 the random bullet deviation of the MG 34, done. (ofc there is more that needs to be done.)

As for my experience campaign’s on the eastern front feel not equally balanced and became unfun, and i loved to play Moscow.

I still don’t understand how it is that at this point in the game people still don’t know how to deal with a T-50

Dunno much bout Berlin, but fact is, axis are broken in Normandy but suck everywhere else. So everyone who wants to play the germans just plays Normandy.

That it because of the(probably unavoidable) fact that a lot of german gear is mostly the same, making it easy for germans to go to another campaign( where they have the advantage) and play with the same gear
This than creates a feedback loop of more german players-allies lose more- allies quit- allies lose more…

it’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just that it’s pretty hard to do, even if you know how. Especially if it’s greyzoning and you didn’t bring a bomber.

It has tiny weakspots compared to everything german
Its also available from lvl 1

In Normandy, unlike other campaigns, there is a semblance of balance for Germany. The beginning with a weapon similar to the enemy, a delicious continuation in the form of playable samples. You finish the campaign with mp43, fg 42 and Panther! yes, even without them, there are weapons with normal ttx, as well as the opponent. And what do we have in other campaigns? Worse than the PP in Moscow, their rate of fire is underestimated. The whole gameplay is from the ā€œmachine gunā€ because no one could give mp 40 500-550 the rate of fire in the initial version. your limit is 570 for a full mod, and mp 35 (until the end of the campaign). In Berlin, mp 3008 vs pps 42, essentially an improved mp 40 with a higher rate of fire. Tanks are being shot, especially pz 4. fg 42 or Beretta at the end of the campaign, and in the meantime the Soviets have ppsh 41 on the 14th rank. and ppd 40 vs vg 1-5. I’m not talking about Tunisia at all…

well, the trick is to aim at the turret and a little to the left, normally the pointer will be red or yellow, it doesn’t matter anyway, since a good shot there and you destroy it.

Normandy is the most popular campaign in the community because that’s what casual players know the most depending on where you live. Also one of the first two campaigns too besides Moscow.

In that you are right, at least they should have put that the T-50 can only be used by tankers II

Played recently Berlin with both factions, didnt see this problem. Now i am playing exclusively Moscow, and still German team are fine in regards to players and equipment. Tunisia is a bit harsh for axis indeed.

i know how to, but the T-50 is in immense advantage. Sometimes i wish forums would show stats, 95% ppl would reconsider talking to me as im unaware how to play fps.

I find that normally if you shoot there, the mg or breech will turn yellow. That is, if you’re shooting from a distance from which you can actually hit the 3cm of weakspot, as the 75mm has horrible accuracy.
And let’s not even talk about the fact that the first tank which can even do anything to a T-50 is unlocked at lvl22.

well, the best thing to do when there is a tank superior to yours is to flank it, although my trick is to equip a crewman with a load of dynamite. I use the tank as a vehicle to get closer to the enemy tank. I go down and throw the dynamite on the enemy tank and boom, it’s a little trick I use sometimes

I’d love to see you flank a T50 that’s hiding behind both a lake and roughly 40 russian assaulters.

use the plane then, or mark it for a partner to destroy it, hell will you continue to pose situations with the T-50?

This is super subjective as different people get put in different matches so one side must not suck for certain people. there is also people that claims that axis moscow is better than axis tunisia because they play with friends and things like that. imo the worst is axis moscow. in fact i had the worst time of my life trying to grind from lvl 1 to lvl 31 just to get the mk42. it was such a pain in the ass because no one would place rally points and they would all get wrecked by loads of ppd 40, ppd 34/38 and ppsh1 spam. I mostly used planes in that campaign to mitigate the fact that i had to run like a headless chicken all the time.

Then maybe the next worse campaign was axis tunisia for me. Similar issues with the allies getting more players and gear that is technically better at the beggining.

Lastly, axis berlin was maybe one where it depends a lot. gear is good since the beggining and they have something the community calls ā€œBerlin vetsā€. So that might be why it seems more balanced in terms of gameplay, but overall allies berlins feels like easy mode for me. Its the last campaign im grinding and yesterday from all the matches i played i didnt loose any. This feeling was the same when i started grinding axis normandy.

But axis normandy wasnt always like it is today, it all started when they added the mp43 and the panther A and everyone started leaving the allies lobbies empty. Cause of the better tank and mighty assault rifle.

Something similar could happen to axis berlin once they add the stg 44 since the tiger they added hasnt lived up to expectations.

Once more, this is a SUBJECTIVE OPINION.

You need a squad for it to be competent unfortunately.

See? It even defeats t-50 and PPSh spammers

Now just look at how bad Germany suffers; not because of weapon balance but because most players are idiots.

How to fix it?

  1. Giving compensation would be nice, there’s no incentive in playing a braindead campaign faction.
  2. I really don’t know how to fix idiot teams.

Story:

April 2021 - September 22th 2021

During this period there were only 2 campaigns; the Battle of Moscow and the Battle of Normandy. It was balancing since most players are still news and there was a progression reset before OBT. It was very fun

in, later on, people start leveling up and getting better gears, people find out M4A3E2 Jumbo was unstoppable due to at that time, there was no counter yet, Panzer IV cannot kill jumbo frontally (except mg port) and have to flank which is difficult, people start abusing it a lot to the point it is very suffering, alongside with suicide bombing. Berlin was still in CBT so some people start migrating slowly to Berlin.

24 June 2021, The Start of Berlin OBT
image

Berlin Open Beta has begun, every axis players start to migrate to Berlin to level up all the campaigns, now the player base has been divided into 3, the new player has to choose which campaign should they play first. Which leads to a low player base on some campaigns. During this time Normandy Axis was in its kneel, Allies Jumbo spams has started to spread over the course of France which lead to the entire Axis being bullied by Jumbo spammers. Ju 188 has also plagued the allies due to how insanely large payloads are, don’t forget how bomb during pre-nerf was. It was so powerful to the point Normandy was entirely a hell of fire, bombs, and explosions everywhere, dead bodies all over the place.

image

The arrival of P47 Thunderbolt II even causes the campaign to be unbalancing even more, just get this thing like Ju 188 and P47 and press R and space bar and you get a lot of kills, how insanely unbalanced are these things are. The players start migrating to Berlin and Moscow and Normandy allies were insanely popular.

Later month bomb nerf happened, It still didn’t help the Normandy axis player base to rise up. P47 is still managed to make the Normandy Axis rage and migrate to Berlin and Moscow.

Now here we are, the counterattack of Normandy Axis
image

Tunisia Open Beta Test began. Allies players have migrated into Tunisia and level up in order to catch up with people around the world.

Normandy Allies got the new equipment
image
Do you think the USA equipment is useful?
VS, the Jerries counterpart.

The developers managed to add MP43/1 to Normandy, people among the axis come back to Normandy Axis and start grinding again to get their new favorite assaulted grinder. It is so op, right? :thinking: , your opinion.

Anyways, they got Panther A now which can penetrate Jumbo frontally along with the panzerfaust too which replaces trashy sturmpistole.

Normandy Allies player base has been shrunk due to migration to Tunisia Allies and also to other campaigns to grind the new equipment.

It has shrunk a lot to the point, there are a lot of noobs coming to replace the amazing veterans on Allies Normandy while the Normandy Axis starts rising up.

The counterattack was unbelievable, it pushed the allies so hard that it makes the allies shaking. There are still some veterans sticking to Normandy but the changes did help a little bit.

now today? uh, we just got divided into 4 player bases so now some veterans start leaving and get lot of noobs idk :moyai:


also if I missed something feels free to add it.

also i think i just write a whole story of normandy factions :skull:
