As Germans on Normandy, you are too often defensive. Like almost all invasions are defensive for GE.
And this is annoying, and also not historically true. Germans would often counterattack, you’ve seen Band of Brothers? Right there, one good example of German mechanized counterattack, at Carentan. And there were many like it.
So historically, GE should have plenty of offensive positions.
Also - more close quarter maps. I’m often forced to have snipers on my squads, because current maps are soooo rangey, you are just forced to snipe. Like the airfield map? Sniper ranges all over. But on Moscow campaign, I only have 1 or 2 snipers around, and barely use that.
Anyway - MOAR cqc maps, and closer ranges. And more “attacker” roles for GE side in Normandy.
The problem right now is the specific settings of the maps, rather than the setting of the campaign. When there is a beach involved, it can only mean, that Allies are attacking. Maybe Airfield could also be a converted Allied airfield (replace the German planes on the ground with Allied ones). I don’t know how quickly the Allies managed to convert enemy airfields for their own use in real life, though.
We need more maps, that are set a bit inland, if we want German counterattacks.
Well, how about a change of objective at AIrfield?
Like at a randomly Point, after Allies take 3rd or 4th point, the germans receive 1000 tickets and Allies go into defensive and have to defend. Germans receive objective to retake all capture zones or else face defeat.
Which would be a pure 2hrs fragfest for sure with countless of burned out tanks on the airfield.
Wow actually coutnerattack mode could be neat. But it should either be a bit smaller, faster, or completlly separete mode, because it will be twice as long, not everyone may have time for it.
Dunno I never waited longer than couple of minutes, but usually it found a game in like 5 seconds. Its lack of no planes ground battle mode that killed it for me.
Playing T-72A takes about 3-4 minutes for Arcade and 2-5 minutes for Realistic with about 6 players on each side. The game itself doesn’t even last 7 minutes. Waste of time.
Maybe because everyone plays russians, and its hard to find enemies for them. Or you are playing on empty server. Or it changed during last half the year.
Or rename Normandy to France 1944 or sth. like this and introduce more campaigns.
It would also justify the historical aspect o the Jimbo etc… somehow.
Again, the campaign isn’t the issue. The maps are. On no currently existing map except Le Bre and maaaaybe Vaux would a German counterattack make much sense.
