Is Germany overpowered?

Its hard for me to gauge this as it's only my 4th battle - the 2nd one you face against Germany as USA, but it feels like its just too hard to fight the Germans.

It always ends up I get a great start going but as soon as the German tanks start rolling out it's so difficult to counter them.

I try the AT guns of course, but my AT guys seem slow and lack range. They get picked off so incredibly easily.

I try the AT infantry and while they are effective in terms of firepower its so rare for them to get close enough to attack. Usually they end up mowed down by machine guns or killed by enemy infantry.

I try my own tanks but there's a double whammy - the German tanks outgun them and out distance them and also the German AT guns are like laser cannons. They pick off my tanks so efficiently. I wish my AT guns were like that... Also the Germans get these Flak cannons which might as well be called death rays. They kill everything, tanks and infantry with such ease. I am relegated to having to keep a long distance and call air strikes if I am ever to pass those positions.

I only put "Normal" difficulty I didnt expect this to be so hard.

Guess I have to put it on Easy

I used airborne dudes to take out those 88 and rockets. If these dudes are not lucky to completely destroy these artilleries with their anti-tank grenades, just take control of these artilleries and enemies will rip off your dudes along with the artilleries...they will not die in vain, and will die for Uncle Sam. Try this step by step till their artilleries are all gone. You now can start going farward. However never ever take last three positions (rewardable positions) except the final one (no reward; on the top of map), otherwise their crazy reinforcement are coming as hell. just take 2 of these 3, and the final one. then take the last one of these 3. And you will make Uncle Sam proud.

How do you use airborne?

I have so far tried dropping them near the target but the problem then is they got shot up before they can do any damage.

And in many places there just is not a safe landing spot close to the target (a place where no one would see them)

Ugh what is up with this game

I have my AT gun crew setup and I keep clicking on an enemy tank clearly in their view and they point their barrel at the tank and just watch - they never fire.

They just wait there and then the enemy tank laser beams a shot on them and blows them up.

This is a brand new AT gun, so no ammo issues.

They have a clear unobstructed view of the target and on top of that the enemy can shoot them as well so its not a issue of view.

I am so frustrated with this

Lolz, best solution ever, DONT rely on the AI to shoot and do stuff in this game, they are pretty brainless at times it seems, instead figure out the Direct Control feature and get proficient at it......Once you do, youyr troubles will melt away haha....AT Guns and Tank...Direct Control.....The AI is dumber then a Brick and will in most cases just sit there and die

Drop your airbone boy to the back of an artillery. Start from the long-range rocket on the top when enemy reinforcements are not coming at the moment. If you are lucky, you may get one rocket to roll all other artilleries.

Agreed. You can only rely on your direct control to shoot, otherwise your units are staring blankly without rhyme or reason.
