Got a few questions for you.

1- Will "we" ever see the soviets in WWIIOL?

2- Will it be, forever, mindless "campaigns"?

3- Will you pay more attention to details? I.e. wich production model is the Tiger I?

4- Loadouts? Cause i like my Fw 190A9 with 108's or 103's. (if "we" ever get the A9 on the game). And what about armour addon's to tanks (some panzers had them added on the battlefield, others by default on the production line)?

5- By the pace you're taking, it's like 1 or 2 new equipment per year and i see you going nowhere:down: . Will at least outsource 3D models, perhaps made from the fans?

6 - So whats missing from WWIIOL? Proper navy? Artillery?

You can check my history and see why i'm asking this. (ingame name= Pardal)
If you don't answer here, i'll repeat these questions by other means, probably by email or something.:|\\

Note: notice the usage of "WWIIOL" instead of "Battleground Europe".:roll: :stare:

Just re-subscribed for 3months, so I'll see you on the battlefield. :up:

Proper navy indeed. Unless their dev cycle has picked up, I doubt we will see dozens of people plying the North Atlantic in various subs and surface ships, just because the pace of gameplay out there must necessarily be much slower than ground combat. Unless someone more in the know wants to chime in.

I surely hope not! We (the axis side) already got a taste of retreating which prolly would happen too if the eastern front was in-game. We managed to lost 35+ towns in roughly 24hrs. Now, who havent played WWIIOL, I say that a balanced battle over an town usually lasts hours, the longest I've participated in was 11 something hours. So, that gives a good hint on how fast the allied kicked our butts during the 24h period. :lol: And I'm not speaking of little towns, we lost quite a few pretty important cities including two of our airfields. :cry: Stopid allies...

And so the tide turns, all week of retreat turned around in 24hrs. Axis are back and kicking some allied butt!

I've noticed after I quit the game map started moving around a lot more. Did the old folks finally decide to ditch the WW1 status quo and start fighting with a vague sense of mobility?

Impressive work by the Axis, some good Blitzkrieging going on there, but it looks like Charleroi will be a strong point of contention until the right flank can push forward enough to catch up with the hole that the Axis have punched through there.
Damn I wish I had a bit more cash a month to put aside for this, looks like a wonderful game :up:

I go get drunk and the darn axis take the whole map by storm. :o

Again the Axis players dug in and pushed back hard.
Following containment of the Allied breakout mid campaign, the lines held firm for what seemed like years. Any movement at all was only possible after withering losses and the almost complete anniliation of the forces at war with each other. Then the Allies took a strategic gamble that almost paid off, setting a trap for the Axis forces around Antwerp. However, such are the fortunes of war that the gamble failed, the Axis forces brokeout in a majorly huge fashion, running rampant through the lines and into the Allied rear.
The full extent of the breakout was contained to some degree at the sharp end of the front by monumental efforts from the Allied soldiers, airmen and sailors but the push from the Axis never abated. Now they are victorious in one of the most exciting campaigns Battelground Europe has ever seen. Congratulations to the Axis forces and to the Allied forces who fought them hard every step of the way.

New dev update is up. 1.30 will be in testing early in March and then the Unity engine upgrade will follow into testing in April. Lots of good stuff going in.

I've heard that the Axis wins the campaign almost every time. Is that true?

If I heard right, the campaign 50 win was the first one in 4-5 campaigns.

During the first 5 to 6 years of the game, the Axis side won 2/3 of the campaigns. After that there was a period of rough equality and once the game designers implemented TO&E's the Allies started winning most of the campaigns.

The Axis side has recently endured alot of upheaval in the high Command. Many good officers left the high command, some even joining the Allied High Command. After enduring the worst CinC in the history of the game (Gaspipe) and the subsequent lowpoint in morale, we rebounded under our new CinC Toro15 for the win of Campaign 50.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 02:19 PM.
