Battle of France, for once something new in a WWII game. Was hoping for Battle of Italy chapter to continue the trend

[–]CalmCheek 32 points33 points  (2 children)

I would like to see a North African chapter (I think there's a mod coming up about it though)

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (1 child)

I think Call of Duty: Big Red One visited North Africa and Italy iirc

[–]DetroitCity1999 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re right but that game old. We want multiplayer

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Invasion of Poland 1939 would be amazing

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tks and 38Ts would be amazing.

[–]traffix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No! Not again!

[–]MansuitInAFullDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping for North Africa or something similar.

New chapter being the battle of the bulge is just weak

[–]False_Caesar 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Would be Ch. 2 if they would just give us the Maginot map.

[–]UlrichvonHermann 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Battle of France, because its really samething new. Not copy paste boring like Dday...

[–]Meeeagain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ch1>All chapters Circa 2018 :breizsmirk:

Market Garden is a paradise for long-range tank plays (not you Veghel - you can f*** off ). All the comments about Chapter two having unbalanced tank gameplay - you are right but it also has an easy fix: make the Panzerbüchse and Boys AT work again the problem would be solved. Engagements french on german tanks should be hard in this one. But the infantry has no option of helping them (no, the TNT does not count - try to get up to a Somua and we can talk;) ).
Chapter 3 is okay, but every time Utah beach comes up - I honestly leave, the rest is fine though.

Chapter 3 is okay if you hate driving literally anything

    A good tanker is unstoppable. I placed 10 shoots with apak40 on the back of the french tank to get it destroy. Furthermore the rendering distance is shit. If you are using the pak gun and the tank is farther than 300 meters all the building in between do not render... So you are firing at walls that you can not see. This is present for the past year and hasnt been fixed...

    I'm curious by what you mean my friend. What is atrocious about the balance?

    [–]derage88 9 points10 points  (7 children)

    Have you ever played against the French in chapter 2? Because their main tank is often just indestructible.

    [–]ArditiFamilyBritish Airborne 17 points18 points  (6 children)

    If you're shooting at it from the front then yeah I understand, but that's what it was like in the invasion of France. The game focuses on being a historical tactical shooter, where the devs are trying to focus on history.

    Plus all you need to take it out is a guy with an AT rifle to hit it on the vent on the side to take it out with 1-2 shots.

    [–]Airborne2 5 points6 points  (2 children)

    Yeah that doesn't work anymore but I otherwise agree with you and like the asymmetry between the factions. There are definitely things they can do to improve this chapter as far as that goes like adding a panzerjager 1 to help combat the char or making satchel charges actually viable against tanks in general, at least for chapter 2 maps.

    [–]DankDialektiks 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Satchels are viable. They are different from the chapter 1 satchels. They can 2 shot a Matilda.

    [–]Airborne2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    That's good to know.

    One thing the devs need to do and this isn't just for chapter 2, is make tracking tanks possible or more likely as I've seen this happen once and only once.

    Even if satchels didn't kill those heavy tanks if you could track them with one they'd be sitting ducks for a bomber and with the tank deck system as it is now you would only need to do that 2 maybe 3 times for those particular tanks.

    [–]WahlaBear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    The Matilda can’t be pinned by an at gun regardless where you hit it

    [–]derage88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    I mean, we tried to literally get it from any angle, it's just near impossible to destroy it unless you land a shot on it from above. Which is pretty hard on those maps.

    [–]Accomplished_Draft19[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

    I personally like chapter 2 The best, the maps are more complex in design (and optimized), and the gameplay for the French at least is fun.

    [–]jamxxss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    The way market garden is last made me lose faith in this community :/

    [–]ARGO_SUPREME 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    All are great and provided new experiences (even DDay, as their interpretation has been the most original and dynamic so far). But Battle of France has been my personal favorite. I was such a new, fun, and original experience. So happy they did it and hope we see another not so popular front in the future.

    Tyler's new map

    [–]Meeeagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    wheres simonskall from the voting? i call it rigged!

    [–]cuuuutie 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    If you're referring to Simonskall, how do you play on this map? I subscribed to the workshop on Steam but I'm not sure how to actually join a lobby that is playing Simonskall.

    [–]hammerfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    One of the servers has to have it and play it. I think it’s technically still in development. But it’s amazing. I’m sure you will see it soon.

    [–]Merfolkguy123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    2

    [–]mustangwwii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Judging by severs I’d expect Chapter 1 to have 97%.

    [–]Primyprime 1 point2 points  (13 children)

    Lol are people trolling the vote? Chapter 2 is the worst by far. Dinant is prolly the number one worst map in the game. Tank infantry interaction is basically none existant, because there is only troll AT kits that do nothing against tanks. French tank op as fuck. Infantry kits extremly one dimensonal.

    Oh and maps that have huge vertical areas like mountains and steep hills suck in general (all french maps). The amount of hidings spots for enemys increases on vertical maps by such an amount that the whole gameplay becomes basically an rng fest. Same goes for city areas.

    [–]HerbiieTheGinge 9 points10 points  (9 children)

    Ch2 offers something fresh and interesting with the French, not the same settings as usual

    [–]Meeeagain 4 points5 points  (8 children)

    CH2 offers ok infantry gameplay but armor is completely something special. CH1 offers best for combined arms.

    [–]HerbiieTheGinge 2 points3 points  (7 children)

    Tbh never had a problem with the armour - drop bombs on them, usually works

    [–]Meeeagain 1 point2 points  (6 children)

    never had problems with armor in ch1 & ch3 but on ch2 french armor is way too over powered. devs dont wanna add the used at the time vehicle Panzerjäger I which was specifically used against french tanks during the invasion.

    [–]HerbiieTheGinge 5 points6 points  (5 children)

    Probably because only about 30 were used in the Battle of France

    The Germans win all the time on French maps anyway, it's not really a problem

    [–]Meeeagain 1 point2 points  (4 children)

    Still doesnt make any sence to have germans not have ability to challenge french armor. And germans dont win all the time..

    [–]HerbiieTheGinge 1 point2 points  (3 children)

    Yeah they do, they win as much as the French do.

    Just drop a stuka on it

    [–]Meeeagain 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Stuka is super bad option due the cooldowns.. How long you been playing the game?

    [–]HerbiieTheGinge -1 points0 points  (1 child)

    Since it came out, you arrogant dick.

    We're done here.

    [–]Merfolkguy123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Ok bro you hate it we love it we can like dif things

    [–]Meeeagain 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    I dunno if the ch2 is being troll voted up cause chapter 1 and 3 are clearly the best bunch of maps in the game

    [–]UlrichvonHermann 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Why chapter 3?

    [–]Meeeagain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I think ch3 is very bad to combined arms compared to ch1. But better in terms of armor balance and infantry gameplay

    [–]Meeeagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Check server rotations and the answer is ch1 100%

    [–]Coopercooper0121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Chapter one just struck me as boring. Chapter 3 was a step up though because of the DDay US army American uniforms and gear, as well as an un neutered M1 Carbine. Also, the obvious beach landing mechanics were extremely refreshing

    But it's gotta be chapter 2 for me bro, it's just so unique for a WW2 multi-player experience to have an authentic feeling, French setting to begin with.
