This allied soldier gave us a greeting with his tommygun... don't think he knew that the 251 was packed with soldiers

Megatron (TheBrauerHour) wasn't pleased and started to swing fists at the poor, clearly mentally ill allied soldier. Axis soldier tries to keep the two from ripping each other up.

Was fun. :salute:

S! ?:hmmm:

Salute! ;)

We WWIIOL people are lazy in everything, dead is ded etc. :DL

aaah, good to know :P

Unfortunately, I'm stuck in teh tutorial :( I'm on step 4 now, using the chat and such, and I'm suppose to "tune" one of the chats...but I dunno how! >.<

It says: "To tune a radio, click on the radio header you want to tune. Use (left Alt) to bring up the mouse if you are spawned in. A list of available will be shown and you can click the channel you want that radio to be tuned to. Click on the F3 radio header and select the side channel."

I'm guessing that I'm suppose to press left Alt but nothing happens...any ideas?:damn:

Hold left ALT and the mouse cursor should pop up.

Anywho, you can complete the training by typing .graduate true into the chat. :03:

Ach never mind I got it sorted out! :haha:

Went through my first battle just now. Confusing, scary and unforgiving. Just as a war should be! :D even got my first kill! :D

I'm really happy to see people having fun with WWIIOL, I was the original Art Director and one of the designers. Plus, I built a bunch of the planes! (I love popping up the pilot's seat in the HE-111 for landing)

Oh dowly you caught me and a Frenchie having a moment! lol.

Well, I am now in OCS, and hope to be appointed to the 33rd Infantrie 2nd Kampfgruppe.

Should take about 3 weeks for me to graduate.


Oh, and here is the aftermath of a mortar barrage on the offline practice. Fun with clones!

Wow, what a blast! First I supported the (failed) German attack on Spa, deployed a Bofors 40mm behind the front and sprayed the skies with shots. Never seen so many planes at the same time....most of them were british :doh: But I managed to down one of them!

After heavy fighting the boys upstairs decided that the attack was futile and called it off. Everyone retreated back to Verviers but to my horror the British decided to follow us and they took the initiative at once, taking the airfield and pressing into the town itself. Didn't look too good for us, but we managed to kick them out of town. When I left for some rest the Germans were deploying what forces they still had to retake the airfield.

Never seen anything like it. This is war!:yeah:

Glad to hear you're having a blast. :salute:

You guys are making me wanna re-sub. It's been years since I played. Think the last time I played was just prior to the pak38 coming out.

Just too damn lazy.

It is a completely different game now.

A peek into one of the battles we just had:

Part 2 with some commentary:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdjE5cUwQBU

I was looking for a ww2ol thread. I've been playing again since the patch after a hiatus (been active since pre-day one, mind you, with a few breaks in play, not subscription). The game has been GREAT since the patch. I've only played inf, but have really enjoyed it for the first time in a while.

All ww2ol needs to be my idea game is more AI.

I know, I'm a heretic, but I've thought this since closed beta. I don't want a box game, I don't want the crappy AI ww2ol has now, I want limited, player controlled AI infantry. What I'd dearly love to see is for each infantry player to control 3-4 men. Whatever one the player is "in" at the moment is the leader, and the other guys just "follow the leader." Think games like ghost recon as an example. They'd only shoot as AI under very limited conditions based on player controlled orders. Like defensive fire within some short, point blank range so you could emplace your LMG, and point some AI guys to cover your flank and rear, and they'd shoot if EI came within 5 meters or some other short value. Suppressing fire is another AI fire mode you could have. Player selects each inf in turn and points them roughly (say each at a different window of a building). Then grabs the last guy, and orders suppressing fire, and the 2-3 remaining AI guys fire where aimed by the player (within some dispersion cone set by the game). Player then assaults with the guy he controls.

Such a system would NOT make ww2ol be a non-PVP, IMO, but instead would leverage infantry, and we'd instantly see 3-4 times as many inf around. Also, since any given player alone could set up a sort of protected zone of control, assaults would be far more fun, and the game less porous to infantry.
