It's always like this, germans had the better equipment in real life so in videogames they get shit because we won the war.

 

While they had superior tanks, their rifles, battle kits, boots, grenades, and rifle ammunition was of an inferior quality:

 

The United States entered the war with the M1903 as its initial service rifle for a period of less than 2-3 months in combat prior to the introduction of the M-1 Garand Service Rifle.

 

The M1903 is a bolt action 30.06 rifle, comparable to the general service rifle used by the Wermacht Heer soldiers, the Karbiner 1898, a bolt action rifle that utilized a 5 shot "stripper clip".

 

The M-1 Garand was the first semi automatic battle rifle used, had an 8 round "bandolier" clip, which could be fired at high speed with relative accuracy, its only drawback being the inability to reload the weapon mid bandolier clip, and some issues regarding sand clogging the rifle's action.

 

The Germans employed the MP 38 and 40 generally as their assault weapon, ranging from 20 to 32 rounds of 9 mm ammunition. The weapon suffered from jams and malfunctions due to the positioning of the ammunition clip and the soldier's constant use of the damn things as bracing handles... in addition to this the gun was damn inaccurate, only really effective at close quarters.

This gun, however was made in vast quantities because it was made of pressed metal parts, a brand new concept for weapons.

 

While the American Thompson Machine gun was inaccurate at range, its 45 caliber shells were much more potent, and the weapon was less prone to jams. The drawback was that the thompson was expensive as hell, costing somewhere around 20-30 dollars (1940 money, when a soldier made 60 a month), PER firearm.

 

The germans did not have a real "match" for the m-1 until the German army came upon the semi automatic G-43 "gehwer 43" rifle, which was arguably a close match to the M1 but like many other german weapons was produced far too late in the war and in too small a quantity to truly have an appreciable effect on germany's win ability.

 

Their infantry crewed AT weapons, such as the PAnzershrek and Faust were SICK, bc they were using shaped HEAT charges, something brand spanking new at the time, that could break through the puny US armored vehicle's side pretty quickly.

 

Thing was, we just had a shitload more tanks...

[PotshotPolka]

...Not to mention we lost more bombers per month than they had period.

Did I hear something bad about Germans here?

You will end in the Everlasting Fires of Hell,Astrum,if you dont turn stop.

[Zero001]

The Germans aren't so bad, and most of us on here have gotten used to and even begun to enjoy the challenge of playing on the Axis side. The main difference is that Allies get a constant and free barrage of artillery to use.
