Please tell me you're not comparing WW2OL to games like Call of Duty:World at War.  Apples, meet oranges. 


Now I'm convinced you were drinking when you wrote this post  :lol  There is nothing realistic about the combat in games like Call of Duty or Bad Company 2.  It's everyone running around like Rambo shooting from the hip and what not.  That kind of crap gets you killed in a hurry in WW2OL and to me, that's realistic.  You can't soak up 10 rounds and live in WW2OL either.  One in the chest is probably going to drop you.  WW2OL's infantry combat is more like Op Flashpoint style fighting and that's how it should be.
Actually, it's not a case of apples and oranges. I jumped into that game 3 months after it's initial release as well as just recently, the infantry combat has the same mechanics as some old MoH and CoD tactical realism servers. If you ever played on a modded tactical realism server back in the MoH and CoD days, you would see where they got their ideas for movement characteristics and weapons ballistics/damage, something they had to improve over time. At one point early on, it took 2 rifle rounds to the torso to get a kill. Obviously they did a better job programming from scratch vs trying to override boxed code with modifications.

It goes up to late '43 early '44 now.


Right, thats why they have a 109G6 as their latest fighter, and no American units (clearly WWIIOL is assuming the french and British managed to halt the germans. Had France held, I suspect that American troops would have poored into France)

I also don't like how their wiki says the M4 had barely adequate armor, when (not counting the slope) the M4's armor was thicker than that of their Panzer IV Ausf. G.

However I will say that they have much better representation of the ground war. I would be overjoyed if AH were to do an overhaul, and do something similar to WWIIOL in that respect.
