i got 2 Frenchies as they rounded that gray building just above my sites..a good 200 meters..the two Souma French Tanks disliked my presence there and sent me home.
Notice the bud entering the house on the left.

Keep em coming hard :)

Hardcase it's great you want to advertise your WW2 online pics, but please keep it in the original thread you titled "WW2OL Pics "....Thanks from the WHOLE AH community :).
-
Hows come you didnt runup and grenade those Soumas?? Wait a minute...I always play allied.:) good pic sir.
blkmgc
BTW- <<>> hmm thought so...says "Open forum for off-topic and less serious discussions."
-
Yes Blck but he already created another topic for WW2OL pics and by creating several different threads it knocks down the important ones. Thanks.
-
Sometimes I think about playing WW2OL again. Then I remember that the mofos defrauded me of $70 already and I think, "I'll be damned if I'll give them a fediddleing dime."
Have a nice day!
-
Did'nt know that there is a prioritization to threads and that some that are more important to YOU belong on top at all times. Stupid me...so sorry.:rolleyes:

I won't hold it against you blck.:D

i have a feeling someone is just using this forum for advertising...
One thread was fine...
Hey do you have an AH account Hardcase? I notice we non-subscribers can't do on the ww2ol boards what you are doing here....
How many other boards are u doing this to?

heheh.
:p

i think you guys can post on the ww2ol off topics without an account. I had an account with AH, but not now. I will put any more in the old ww2ol Pics. Guess I am trying to get ppl to look at the sim, the 2 week freebie for everyone is coming soon.

hardcase, I appreciate it just for the opportunity to see the graphics other sims have. Post away.

Well, if you combine that with a free download, I promise to give it a try.
-
Why do you need more players? I thought WW2OL had THOUSANDS of players on the server 24 hours a day? LMAO.
CRS won't get another penny from me. Nothing like beta testing a product for 6 months and not have the company listen to a whoopee thing you tell them. Then I went out like an idiot and bought a worthless drink coaster that is only about half the program I need to play the damn game. WW2OL is on the outer swirl of the toilet my friend, and you posting here isn't going to change that.
-
always good to hear from those who are on the cutting edge. Raub, lots of changes sincee December(6 months play), the freebie will be a free d/l of the full sim. Just like last time.
Raub, I have fun in ww2ol, a lot of ppl here flew warbirds with me, I reaally want to have some combat with them. WW2OL isnt gonna die if I am not here. Lot ppl might like to see some AH on ww2ol. These two sims aren't really in competition with each other..more like two slightly differecnt niches.

Hell I've been trying it since it's been free but it's still the same crap it was before just a few more trees and bushs.
They still won't get a penny from me till they do away with spawn limits.
-
sorry to hear that..but spawn limits are in to stay, and attritiion is comoing next release. One of the big complaints in the first months was no spawn limits alliowing chars, chars, chars. Guess you can't please everyone.

Heya Hardcase, I'd like to try it again but from what I've read the flight modell sucks big time, the dammage modell when attacking planes sure LOOKS nice (shoot shoot smoke puff smoke puff BIG SMOKE CLOUD).
Also, do I still need a super silicon valley 12gb ram computer to play it? I saw some pics with about 10 HE111's on it and nobody who had taken screens had better then 22fps, and all those were with blue air only (except for the 10 planes).
-
Oy Wilbus
I've tried the latest version. FM is still weird... Planes still dissappear, Frame rates are still poor, Frame pauses are still an issue
I have an XP1800 and a GF4 MX440 with 512mb ram, I get frame rates around 10-20 in combat online in ww2ol, 50+ offline...
SKurj
-
OUCH, no others words for it then a BIG OUCH!
Running a 700mhz with 512mb. Out of question for me to try it.
-
Hiya wilbus. I have it running on 3 systems. an atalon 1.4tbird/512 megs ram /GF2 Ti 64megDDR card--- 30's or so average fps
An un-HP'd HP P3 800 384 megs pc133 ram/ GF2 mx400 PCI card. get in the lower to mid 20's average
and an old gateway with an Abit bx6 Mobo/ Powerleap 1.3 chip/ GF2 Ti 64 meg VC/ 384 megs PC133 ram. Getting about mid to upper 20's with this one.Old setup this Pc was P3 450/ same ram/GF2 Mx 400 64 meg card. Was getting low to mid teens before chunkin her up to a 1.3 and new card.
Newer build seems to be a lot more system/memory friendly.:)
>>>IMO<<< GF3's and 4"s are still not producing the performance which all the hoopla was made out to be. I've been holding off buying one till there is ANY reason to do so. I have the best luck with the GF2 Ti 64 meg series cards in wwiiol, AH, WB's, Nascar2002 and GPL than any of the others.And they can be had now for about 70 bucks.Heheh I have a GF3, which I stuck in a Duron 900 system I biuilt for my father...cause it did'nt perform...and I did'nt think you should have to tweak till you blue in the face to make it work.Hehe..funny thing is, he's tried a couple online sims...and now I have to go throught the card swap with his machine.
Best thing I could tell ya is DL the thing and try it for yourself. Depending on how your system is setup you may get better or worse results than ANYBODY. And there are things you can do , as in any MMP sim,to tweak the performance out of it. GL sir
EDIT-- Just saw your sys specs. You SHOULD have no problems.Wait for the freebie and the Dl and give it a whirl.:cool:
-
Ok thanks :)
I (shhhh) was in the Beta (very late beta) and used a P3 450 with 384mb 100mhz RAM, with more then one other person near me in a town I had 0.01 - 1 Fps.
Will test the freebie, will it be like AH 2 week?
-
SK...system specs and fps are meaningless unless you specify your settings and resolution..we have guy complaining about low fps and then find out they are running high Visual and 1600 resolution.:-)
wilbus, you should be able to play the ground war, some tweaking, run High Performance settings, 3d sound off,No Lock to refresh Checked. if you have an Nvidia card they optimize at 1024 resolution,voices to 8,only box checked in Textures is Reduce Textures. Give it a try, lot of ppl will help you setup.

2week trial will probably be pretty close to the same setup. Dl and create an acct wothout credit card...then apply credit card after for pay to play.
I really enjoy just flying in there.Even though the FM's might not be up to par as to what we are used to in AH and WB's. The fact that it does'nt have inflight radar means that you have to actually look at the map,plot your course,and be fuel concious if your intended target is some distance. Its a little more challenging and immersive IMO.And its also nice to know that your enemy has the same disadvantages.Plus the damage effects are really cool.And I like the way that stress is put on the pilot when pulling heavy g's ect.This creates a whole new ballgame for tactics. The flight models are coming along tho.The last build saw correct weight /load added for bombloads on pretty much all the ac. Now when your chasing a Stuka carrying bombs, he cant go into 10 successive loops. If he wants to try and evade, he has to drop his load..really cool when you flying a spit or hurri cause if he does'nt he becomes easy meat.
But untill the allied heavies arrive, I am mostly on the ground. But sneaky NOE Blenheim strikes are pretty dang cool too.You really get the "feel" of speed and motion otd like I've seen nowhere else.
Funny thing with the P3 450 and how it changes tactics. I was getting bad studders in furballs...so they were out.It left me with only the option to hang way above the fight and wait for stragglers.Which in itself was kinda fun...and I seemed to be getting more kills and my bellybutton handed to me less. :D
-
i am runnin 1024x768x32bpp
which i assume is a typical minimum these days
i could save probably a few fps by playing in 16bit colour but ww2ol still doesn't like anything less than 32bit zbuffer it appears
I get sawtooth and vanishing textures on any less than 32 bit, and always have since beta of ww2ol, and thats on more than one system

freebie runs out jun 28th for old members

CC skurj. Running same settings on all machines.1024x768 32 bit. 16 looks crappy in pretty much all sims now.

Well, I'm finished with WW2OL for now. At least until they fix the "rifle kills a tank" thing. Sheesh.
Oh. And I know it was a rifle. I sat there and watched 2 of em crawl right up to me. I wanted to see what they would do. Sure enough. They crawled right up to me and started firing away. All hatches battoned down. First to go was the driver, then the gunner, then the TC.
-
apache,were you able to enter the tank and kill the men when they rode over you? That would be the only way you could know who died.
hardcase
-
hardcase, sounds like Apache was in the tank and the rifle guys killed his crew while he was completely battened down.
Sure they didn't have a sapper with them, Apache?
I've had fun, and I've had frustration.
Frustration last night was with poor Speedee having blue screens. :( The two times he didn't, we got vulched on the ground by a 110c, and I don't know what the hell hit us the next time. I was busy calibrating the bombsight. :( One day I'm gonna get to use it ONLINE! ;)
-
You're right Nifty. I was in the tank.
Both had rifles so I'm pretty sure they weren't sappers. Also, I was getting single hits on the armour as my guys were dying. No explosions, unless that isn't modeled anyway.
-
I had the same thing happen to me several times Apache. Escpecially when using the British A13 or Renault A35(? the smaller tank). It's nothin you imagined and it is quite a problem - IMO.
I even watched it happen to other friendlies near me. The EI lay on the ground and shoot up into or at the tank until the bullets find thier way in somehow - and they do find thier way in with no problem even when you're buttoned up. Seen it done to Axis tanks too so it's not just a limited gameplay problem. All you can do is listen to the plink-plink-plink of the pistol or rifle as they shoot. Hoping that a friendly shoots at you to get the EI killed or a lucky bullet of your own can catch them as you whip the turret around to get em in your sights.
Or wait till 1.10 comes out in 6 mos which is what I'll do. Still too much 'wrong' with it to pay-to-play imo. I did play for about 4 hours Saturday and after two boring hours I found one battle at Dinant that was fun. Good fighting on both sides (Dinant?). Then played for about two or three hours on Sunday. It was extremely boring so I logged off. There was not one decent battles to be found. And I jumped around a LOT looking for one. I could never find more than four or five Allied types at any one contested CP/AB. The enemy was doing 'milk runs' (in the late afternoon eastern time to boot.). As soon as myself or few others offered resistance the enemy would go elsewhere. So much for the supposed "different" gameplay in comparison to AW/WB/AH arenas. (more Napoleons over there too. predicted that though and it's to be expected given the nature of "rank" as the reward)

Thats it exactly Westy. I had been hearing folks complain about this but hadn't seen it for myself. When I saw these to rilfemen crawling towards me, I figured this was what they were planning so I just sat there and watched. They positioned themselves behind me and started plinking away.
-
i havent heard that bug being around in a long time. You can die, and not see explostion if someone is popping you from the back. There still may be a "hole" in the armor model, and I will have some of us beta look at it..but you are the first guy I've seen post on this problem, including the game forums.What tank were you in? But just because you saw riflemen and was dying, doesnt mean they were the ones killing you. If you were watching the riflemen, some sappers or the AI AT, or another tank could well be whacking you silly. The damage sounds are very similar for sappers and armor.
They may have hit you with 8 grenades, set the tank on fire, all sorts of possibilities,including a bug.
hardcase
-
I understand your postion hardcase.
I had been sitting in the same location for better than 10 minutes. I am confident that I was killed by the 2 riflemen that I watched shoot me. Not sure how I can be more planer than that.
I was in a PzIII.
-
How'd you watch them? from your turret sight? If so, why the hell didn't ya blast 'em? :D
-
Yeah, from the turret. I know, sounds stupid but I like to find out whats going on in a game. Whether others have heard about the rifle killing a tank or not is irrelevant. I have and wanted to see if it was BS. It wasn't.
-
completely understandable, Apache. So I guess this means no AHbananas squad? :D
Hopefully someone will be able to duplicate that bug and it'll get on the fix list.
Along with the fediddlein' con bias for pilots!!! Come on, that's gotta get on the high priority list! :cool:
-
lets see..riflemen have 10 mins on you. ANY possibility they called for help, ,someone rolled a tank or at up on you and they killed you? Did they throw grenades,,since inf have 4, and set your engine on fire and you burned to death? When you despawned were you on fire?
hardcase
-
hehe. Nah, I ain't givin' up that easy. I was a little too quick on the trigger when I posted this.
Just have to make adjustments until its either squashed or someone proves I'm a numbskull. :)

No, no and no.

Hardcase you're talking like you'd be surprised to find a bug or bad modelling in WW2OL.. LOL.
-
Well, everyone knows that there are no bugs or problems with WW2Ol... it's all on YOUR systems MrRipley. ;)
-SW
-
heh, no, that particular one. Lots of bugs, but they get fixed as they can. Sounds are fixed, new capture strat and attrition is comning in next release, then more stuff being fixed. CRS played catchup for a long while adn are now geting to go back and work stuff out. Requires a hole in the armor coding. I will take a pzIII and have some inf guys shoot me in the beta(where the situation can be controlled).
hard
-
So there's actually a beta? I thought the product went already 'gold' and paid production..
What are the customers then, alpha testers? :D
-
Well, this could all be a moot point if CRS/Playnet allowed the program to TELL you what killed you. Since the damage logs are so detailed why can't a simple pop up tell you what calibre rounds did what damage when you exit. Nothing as complicated as the Wall-o-text log files that CRS showed off in the pre-hype phase of a year ago but perhaps something simplistic along the lines of:
You died from: xx rounds of 3.7mm AP,
xx number of grenades
or xx rounds of 7.9mm etc etc
Westy
-
i would like that too. One thing about those logs that were kepted was they were a big fps hit. If it adds to gameplay and can be programed CRS will do it.
Beta, there was a beta 3 days after the public release of 1.6.4.
Sound,cap strat, and attrition among other things this beta.
hard
-
Sounds are fixed? So you mean a battle 25 miles away doesn't sound like it's right next to me? Umm...sure....
-
SOUNDS like WW2OL has big probs with its LOD settings, not only graphics wise..
No wonder the game hogs 512Mb ram and needs 3Ghz cpu if it's going to monitor and play all the sounds and movement from distances past 10km.. After that range you shouldn't be able to see / hear much anything if not using some visual aid.
-
Have to tell you a funny story about my experiences last night. I wanted to learn how to be a Sapper, so I went out looking for enemy tanks. Playing a French Sapper, I rode out on a Char to a relatively hot area. Spotting a German Panzer in the woods about 500 yds away, I jumped off the Char and leap-frogged my way to within 30 yds of the Panzer. Incredibly, it didn't see me, and was stationary. I was hiding behind a tree, so I jumped up, ran over to the Panzer, slapped a satchel charge on it, ran back, flopped down just in time to watch the satchel charge blow. Woohoo! my first kill! Then one of the guys I was near said "Congrats, banana24, you've just blown up an abandoned Panzer". LOL! He explained to me that if that Panzer had been occupied, I would've seen an icon for it. Come to think of it, I was wondering why nobody else had been shooting at it before I got to it.
Undaunted, I continued on, running for 50 yds, then flopping down behind cover to regain stamina. Then I saw another Panzer, this one very much alive, and shooting at some of our tanks a ways back. Hiding behind some bushes, I timed my run so that I would run up to the side of the tank. I jumped up, and ran to the panzer, still unseen. I ran right up to the side of the panzer, went to slap my satchel charge on the side of the turret, then *poof*, I died. I don't think I got shot, because my blood did not drain out of me, I died instantly. I can't believe it, but I think I ran into the side of the panzer, and that's what killed me!
So even though there is some quirky gameplay, I enjoyed myself immensely. Running around from cover to cover to get within range of a tank is a lot of fun, especially when you're dodging bullets all the while.
-
Dont know what that guy meant but when someone leaves a tank is disappears. There was one tank that was a ghost and didnt leave at some city couple days ago tho, might have been that one. You will not see an icon above an enemy except the distance ID on the aircraft. Glad you are haveing fun:-)
