Why Axis has lower playerbase in ALL campaigns except Normandy

The one I didn’t bring cause I prefer tanks. (mostly cause getting into a plane means my team loses half the points)

I could keep it marked forever and noone will do anything.

yes, i know how you can pen it
the problem is that you are comparing that tiny weakpost where you have to aim to basically the whole tank
the russian 45 can pen almost 70 mm and basically doesnt have to aim against the germans

Pak38 can nuke it. The key is to keep an engineering team with the build perk at the ready.
Now the only issue with this is that the pak38 is at times difficult to place , amd do so without dying before its done.
But when setup its a one to two hit kill.

To fix this they need a QoL pass like they did on Rally points to make it more forgivable to terrain and allow for more depression on the barrel.

It does suck that the Soviets can get the T50 so soon , which is where the disparity is. Along with constant abuse of Grey zone mechanics.
But its not the unstoppable force that it is claimed to be either.
It takes experience. Blood and pain.

So long as someone can mark it, get that AT gun setup and its a problem solved.

Because Normandy/1944 is considered prime Germany to most, the legends about Germany in WWII mostly came from the western front. Also because America was there, their tales are more well known by Americans and essentially was though Germany lost the war they were pretty badass with superior troops and killer tanks.

So you’re suggesting that simply by stacking against allied random solo’s mitigates the T-50 / PPD / PPSH advantage in Moscow campaing?
Wow what a solution! Ever considered getting an academic career?

99,9999% of the playerbase in this bot-farming simulator are literally braindead. The issue is that the moscow allied zombies have more efficient weapons than the braindead axis zombies. Get it? The bots of the axis team have weaker shit than the bots of the allied team. The base is flawed.
No-one, literally no-one who can breath with their mouth closed has issues of winning games in this… thing of a game.

There is 0% need to compansate anything for the axis, only to fix the completely broken T-50 fantasy tank and giving PPSh a proper spray-pattern. I’ll even take that IL-2 - the best and most magnificent plywood miracle ever made with super accurate mega-rockets and 50kg mini-nukes ( hand forged by mothers of the founding lands mind you ) , but the T-50 2x2 cm weak spot is ridiculous.

I don’t know about other campaings and honestly don’t care. I play only Moscow. The campaings don’t intertwine so balance should always been looked as campaing-specific.

In Normandy, Germany has the mannlicher. It’s why every Axis player flocks here.

Joke aside (I still love mannlicher though) small arms are somewhat balanced in Normandy, compared to other campaigns. There’s no ppsh41 vs 20 bullets beretta here… Or better, tommy gun vs beretta m1.

For tanks, there’s 2 models that shouldn’t be here (1 per faction) making tank play tedious, but amazing if they aren’t here.

I’m a bad pilot so I know nothing about planes.

Planes tend to depend on what map, and if there are people willing to take to the skies.
I tend to get absolutely hammered by Aircraft in Normandy, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses.
Still, you can have strong plane play, but if you don’t combine it with strong infantry it means nothing. Unlike tanks that can force the issue more by being a constant threat.

Also, shout out to the Mannlicher. Best bolt in the game until Darkflow gives me my K31.

Seriously DF, I will pay you to model it and put it in game.

I was able to top my team and take wins as Tunisia Axis using only Engineer, Rifleman, Mortar, and Stuka, and not even touching an SMG. As an F2P. At level 13.
Tunisia actually has a pretty healthy player base atm, and there isn’t oppressive spam of top-meta BS so it’s a good place to experiment with different play styles.

well you need to carry your team to win indeed as Axis there

Not really. You need to carry as much as in any other campaign. Or at least that’s how it feels to me (axis).

In my experience it is the only campaign you can have a lot of bots in your team as Axis. But ofc i might be wrong, not that i kept data or something. Just feels more difficult to carry and win most times

Is this some sort of late 90’s retard which I can’t decypher properly? I thought you meant that you, as Axis, need to squad up to operate against broken stuff properly.
But your argument was: Soviets need to squad up for their staliniumim-plated guns work against axis?

And who the fuck is he’s solo, there’s no scruffy looking nerf-herder? Anyway: argument stands. The Axis side on Moscow is so unbalanced that if you Allied heroes could breath from the upper parts of your bodies, or possessed a keyboard from what ever howel huts you’re playing from anyway, it’d be impossible to get over 65% win rate in this Sims-sim.

The salt is strong in this one.

Damn dude who hurt you this valentine’s day?

Yeah, basically, though i’d say the Panther’s quite a bit easier to kill.

I think it’s just a matter of people focusing on certain campaigns. Tbh, there should be an XP boost (for both sides for fairness’ sake) that rewards players for playing whatever campaign has the lowest population for each side.

Also, I play Axis almost exclusively and I enjoy the fact that it rarely takes more than 15 seconds to find a match - highest I saw was 35.

Axis is meme at this point. too bad they cant compete with woody though,

Same here.

I am big on playing with Axis side, not because of real world policies or anything but because when I was a kid (Dont ask HOW long ago that was… It was a while) Only option available with every FPS game was pretty much U.S and thats it.

I remember how exited I was when I could play as the British or Soviet once upon a time?

Now that I am older, I am done with all sorts of school to the max level/ Close enough and have time + Money aaaand the games have finally made it possible to play with the Axis side?

AXIS SIDE IT IS NON-STOP!

Also, I know that the Axis has fever players on its side so it is fun to be the “underdog” and maybe even win occasionally?

Besides, the Axis side is awesome once you max out the levels anyway.

I am satisfied and happy with it.
