US or the chocolate chip cookies?
So which side are you guys and how do i find any of you? I'm registering right now.
Welp, i already joined allies :/
Well I've played a few games and I'm liking it. I did want to play as ze Germans but they were overpopulated apparently so I joined the US. Oh and I killed a BF109-E with my Garand.(click to show/hide)
Ok not so much killed it with my Garand, it was flying really low and I started shooting him, he jerked his planes movement and hit some scenery or something and smashed into tiny pieces, but it said I killed him with my Garand and everyone lol'd :lol:. Reminds me of WW2 Online ( Think it's called Battleground Europe now or some shit ) because I remember killing pilots with Rifles and Sub Machine Guns when I was on a roof top and they flew too low, always embarassing when you read what killed you after you died in that game and it says some dude with a rifle, what a waste of a plane.
Having fun with this though, but I'm not sure what route I want to go with it yet, my first instinct would to be a pilot as I played a lot as a Pilot in WW2 Online and of course IL-2 Sturmovik ( WW2 flying sim, I guess most should know this ) and I was pretty good at it aswell as having a lot of fun, but I don't have a joystick anymore, only a gamepad and I don't know what the controls will be like or if that will even work with it. Think I might just stick with Infantry with this first character, I can buy the US jeep thing now with the MG on the back so I'll probably get that.
K, i've figured out that i can't make any income, if i'm playing with modified ammo, apparently :/
My biggest gripe right now is that i get thrown into these terribly one-sided (against me) battles - Infantry only (no anti-tank) vs Heavy tanks+Mechanised Infantry+Whatever? Sure, go ahead.
well the planes fly like shit in this game, so going pilot like i did right off the bat was a poor idea. Though on that note, i have one of everything now anyways. The planes are just super unrealistic, whether its the flying mechanics or the 2k rounds of ammunition you spew at them to onl y knock the pilot out and not damage the plane. Just ridiculous that someone can dive a AA battery and shoot someone out of the seat of it, yet the plane flies away nearly unscathed. I know they are working on things, one day they will work on the planes, i just think they are focusing on filling out the rest of the game. In the past 3 months, this game has changed quite alot.
Well, there's not much smart you can do, when your spawn is camped by a number of tanks and snipers and no one on your team has any anti-tank weaponry.
How does melee weapon hit detection work? I bought a shovel, yet all my attacks just pass through people :/
MG42 is OP as hell, accuracy and hitting power almost that of a rifle, yet full auto and with super easy to use sights.
Melee, apparently, is completely broken right now, i'll just assume it's beta and they haven't gotten around to making melee weapons actually hit stuff just yet.
Guess i'll take Antis advice and pick my battles from now on.
It actually costs YOU to spawn with vehicles? That seems kind of dumb...
There are still too few maps, but the vehicles and weaponry has been increased which makes a somewhat interesting gameplay! btw paratroopers are rarity :) as those are reworked and disabled unless u already had a paratrooper.
Another war started today, i'm picking Germans, sick to death of playing against Pz38ts with my M1 Garand.now you cn play vs stuarts with your german rifle :D
This sounds fun but how many players per battle?
I really want a ww1 or ww2 version of planetside.
The only game I know of like that is WW2 Online ( or Battleground Europe as it's called now ), in its prime it was an amazing game and even not so long ago when they improved some of the graphics and made a lot of major changes it was still pretty good, but everything I read today as I was thinking about playing it again was that it's pretty damn dead not to mention really outdated. You can of course create a free account to try it out but I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you.
I used to love it though, got fairly high ranks for British Army and also Royal Air Force so I could use a lot of good stuff. I had a lot of fun flying the Hurricane MkIIC, I would dive bomb boats, army bases or tanks with it's two 500lb bombs then strafe targets or shoot enemy planes with the 4 cannons ( although very limited ammo ). It was quite satisfying to drop a bomb on a boat and hit something critical and pretty much destroy the boat in one bomb.
Met DaveUKR. What i've realised is that, whilst the Germans almost always have (more) tanks and some really good weapons, this is somewhat compensated by the fact that the average player on German teams is really, really bad. Most games i feel like i'm the only infantry player on my team actually trying to achieve the objectives and killing enemies.
Just got into a random domination battle. You know, the one with the 2 points in a forest and the third on a hill. It was over in 2-3 minutes, with german side not managing to capture even the point closest to their spawn, despite outnumbering US by at least 2 players. US side had 2-3 MG armed guys on it at the start. I killed one, got killed by another. That made me one of two players on my team to actually score a kill.
No, they just got slaughtered like cattle en route to the closest point by the two guys with MGs there. :|
The american M1919 (or whatever its called) MG is just as OP as MG42, because they both have great accuracy, firerate and damage and handle like uber assault rifles, basically.
Oh man theres no parashooter class? Sad. I really wanted to be one.
Wow then I still have it, never even played it tho, just bought it for fun.
must say im really in love with this one. i cant explain what it is. back in the day i use to play wolfenstein: enemy territory ALOT and the feel and i dunno the atmosphere in H&G just reminds me of wolf:et
How the hell do I unlock anti-tank weapons? I need tankdestroyer ribbons to unluck them and the only way to get em is to destroy tanks, but I cant destroy tanks cause I have no tankdestroyingequipment unlocked. Makes sense to me. Finding those panzerfausts on the ground is quite rare and other stuff doesnt seem to do anything to em. Quess il wait till i fill up on that gold and buy the grenades with that.
There are panzerfausts in some spawn points. On some maps, they are very readily available, on others - not so much. Was defending airfield as US yesterday, destroyed like 5 tanks and damaged more, using just the panzerfausts in one of the spawnpoints. Tank destroyer level 2 get. Now i'm going to be running around with AT mines :twisted:
careful with the AT mines, as friendlies can die to them as well even though they add a little bomb symbol to the map/
Don't go for bullets, way too expensive to maintain.
Wait a second. I finally got it. I never checked the endbattle reports before on how much I gained cash and for what. Holy crap I payed 2,5k upkeep for the bullets per battle. And this whole time I figured i didnt pay anything for them, cause I never had to refill those bullets at the equipment screen, cause it always appeared to be maxed up. So the refill bullets thing isnt a working thing atm and upkeep for em is payed automatically at the end of the round? This is what happens when u at betastage and got half of the things working... :?
There is an easy way to overwhelm enemies: gather in teamspeak, even if my team is in a huge disadvantage in pretty much everything - communication decides a lot. We should try it, a few people from crpg community play, worth trying. I can lend my teamspeak for these purposes: mercenaries.pro
Man I have won only one game as the germans so far and I have played a few..
We always get destroyed, my guns are shitty and too weak while I get instant killed, or face tanks spam that I can't do anything to because I have no antitank weapons anywhere. Only time I found some on the back of vehicles, and that's it.
USA seems super op with their guns, I got nothing to fight back with.
Funny because it is other way around if I can trust sources
One and a half ribbon levels from topping my BA.
Question to the vets - is maxing damage with weapon mods enough to make BA rifles kill in one hit, or do you need to use modified ammo as well?

Well I finally managed to nade someone and got the explosives ribbon and with that got the bazooka unlocked. Does that thing require constant upkeep or something? Just purely out of curiosity why are so few using it considering the fact that everybody always gets tankspammed?
Got myself a bazooka soldier as well. Now to get my SMG soldier upgraded to MP40... ugh, if only i hadn't bought it on my main, so many credits wasted :(
Also, bought my first assault team - Light Armor. Wonder what good will it do :)
Just made a personal record on my main soldier - 75/24, using a fully modded BA. Wasn't a full length battle nor was i camping either :)
Did cost me like 2k in upkeep :(
Fully modded BA is so much fun, tho, it's like playing UT Instagib mode, except your enemies don't kill you in one :D
Everytime I try playing this game I usually play 1-2 matches and uninstall. I'm not sure why exactly but I just think it's the clunky animations and how some of the maps are poorly designed. I keep landing on that 1 capture the base map where it has A-B-C and B is on a hill while A and C are at the bottom and EVERY TIME YOU DIE and want to get back anywhere you gotta run for 2-3 minutes which gets really annoying.
Went US this war, made a new soldier and went tanker. It's surprising just how many of the pz1c and pz2 tankers that i fight against don't understand the meaning of AP ammo :lol:
Just this last battle, the enemy had 3-4 tankers, all driving pz1c. None of them used AP ammo :lol:
Quite fun, actually, and not too expensive either.
Definitely a grindfest, but it's not a bad game to play with friends every once in awhile. The planes are extremely simplistic yet highly enjoyable, and the armored combat can be fun, I guess.
Infantry combat is still just god awful and unbalanced, even after the hit detection fix. I'll probably play again once they release the soviets though, which should be soon.
On the other hand, to be fair, It still has better hit detection than battlefied 3...
Ha, Battlefield 2 was good times. Sniping in that game was interesting, if someone was sprinting in a direction you had to shoot behind them because the hitbox was lag behind the character which made sniping pretty tricky. Not sure how they messed up Battlefield 3 after Bad Company 2 which was a really good game.
