Youll thank me you didn't go!

Yeah, like the AH community has anything up on WWII Online.....................th ink again.

As far as all the "bugs" very few, we play almost everynight for hours {just like we used to here} and there are no 2x4's killing tanks.
They have adjusted the 64 limit to 3 diff settings so you can adjust how many players you see.
Yes, you need a pretty decentsystem to run WWII Online smoothly, But if your system is up to it you're rewarded with very nice terrain, vehicles and models.
I will say the "air war" in WWII Online is a little behind AH, but the ground war is..................go see for yourself.
Quick side note: the people/squads in the game are very much in tune with new players {noobs} they are always willing to help and a lot of times, let you run with thier squad to get your feet wet out in the battlefield. Also there is Ch99 which it's sole purpose is for all new players to ask questions and get guidence.

I'm not telling anyone to drop AH and go play WWII Online, it's a different game altogether. I say give it a try, ya don't like, don't play. Simple

I tried WWIIOL off and on a couple of times, i like it, found many helpfull people etc.

Never tried the Air stuff in it tough..

I like being a grunt...

Only thing i dont like about it is that its too dificult to spot the enemy grunts.. You run along and then somebody shoot you from 1km away, and you go WTF happened?

I guess it would be better if the graphics were up to date...

Maniac,

In 3-4 hours you should be able to get the captains rank, simply by staying alive for 10 minutes at a time, to get a mission success for rank points. (has to be 10min or it'll be a failed mission)
Infantry will get you the most points, then the trucks.
the guns and tanks do not get mission success without kills.
SdKfz 7 seemed to also give nice points, about equal to infantry.

When you get the rank of captain, you get the binocs.
Those will make it a great deal easier to avoid enemy guns and tanks.
Also makes you able to shoot from longer ranges, when you can locate the enemy easier.

Some of the best shots will get you from 500 meters, but mostly it's from within 300 meters.
Tanks and guns do sometimes try to get you even from 1km.

In my opinion the infantry is most survivable, once learns the tricks to survive (and gets the binocs to locate the threat easier)
Of course it doesnt rack up kills so much as tanks "might", if they don't get killed due to being so visible.
Although thats more problem for the axis panzers, which can be easily seen from the air and allies do most of the time have air superiority nowadays.
Something to do with the fubar flight modelling, which somehow seems to favor allied planes.
In WWIIOL the "elliptical wings" super bonus myth is recreated very well.
Not to mention the american fighters performance is modelled after the unarmed/unarmoured planes, instead of the actual production models which saw the fight for most parts

Slow...Whats your WWIIOL ID ? I can play it again, no more CTDs. I think new patch fixed em.

Quick story. FOr the first time I saw an enemy tank today. It was parked behind a low earth mound. So I swan across the river. Took forever... When I reached the other side I hit the dirt and crawled for about 15 minutes to flank the tank from the right. I get within 10 feet of the tank. I see the , I think its the tank commander, pop out of the top turret. Remembering one of Furball's stories long ago about shooting one, I decided to chance it. I get behind a tree and position myself to take aim. I get my crosshairs on him and pull the trigger. I managed to get two shots into the commander before we start a game of hide and seek, mostly me hiding. He manages to kill me by blasting every bush in a 100 feet radius. Did I do the right thing, or should I have shot something else ? (By the way I was a rifleman and no friendlies were remotly close by.)

1 lonely Rifleman against a Tank? looks like it ended very realistic for you

Honestly, not much you can do with your rifle against a Tank.
Maybe get the Commander yes, but you know the Tank has
more then 1 Commander sitting inside. I had not much luck
with Grenades to stop a Tank. Guess its realistic.

Playing Infantery i attack Tanks only as Sapper or ATG.

Best bet would have been to call out the tank on mission and objective channel and hope to get an answer. Someone could have set out to get the tank and you could have scouted for him. You have to be aware of any inf that may be with the tank, by firing your rifle you will give yourself away.

That's not to say a rifle can't be fun

BlueJ1 · « **Reply #72 on:** November 25, 2004, 07:11:30 PM »

I did call out. Wasnt much of a battle so I was pretty much alone.

Then call out the tank and wait for some ei, not much you can do against a tank with a rifle. Try to figure out what path the enemy might take to sneak in, then ambush them. With luck a troop carrier might get close enough to chuck a grenade at. Try to build your rank up to captain by taking p1 missions. All you have to do is survive 10 minutes with an inf and return to base to gain rank, you don't have to get kills with inf. When you reach captain, you will get binoculars. These are very important to seeing the enemy before he sees you.

I would of blasted the commander too BlueJ, excellent work on your part...peez off the tank driver.

first I would of tried to sneak and see if driver slot was open...kill driver and you stop his movement for sure. Grab sapper and voila or big prettythang 88 and blast em into infinity and beyond from miles out...

you can't miss me, still SlowHand in WW2, probably go Brit this weekend...

I'm a cheap sheep, move around alot, and not too expensive.
