Battleground Europe (WWIIOL) worth it?

Suggestion on ranking up in the 110 is to...well, look for boats to kill. They're extremely vulnerable to 20mm fire if you know where to aim. Now that crewmembers on boats don't die (something I wish I was able to enjoy), your best bet is to aim for the center of the boat, just under the stack. If you set the engine ablaze, the boat will sink eventually....no damage control, alas.

Also, early war, the 110 makes a passable tank buster. Won't do jack to a Matilda or a Char B1, but A13s, and any of the light tanks, the 20's can easily punch through top armor.

Might wanna try the French Air Force, too. A lot of people hate the Hawk 75, but I found it pleasant to fly in offline mode (all my computer at the time could handle).

I like the game alot, but "lost" my gunner to RL and never had the same feel with any of the "replacements"

I dig tanks and the multicrew did it for me. One day when i find a new gunner i will re sub, but not before that....

@Dowly

Of course, but if they don't apply themselfs they won't attract more players, its a loose loose situation for them and for us.

It is a simulator, i presume you played it when it was released.

And finally "Tiger E" by itself doesn't say anything, it started as official name of Tiger H (early versions) then sometime in 1943 during med version production it was renamed as Tiger E, at that time it wasn't so slow as before, it could then move at around 43Km/h (of a max of 46) instead of just 37/38 Km/h, among other things removed others added and lots improved.

@Raptor1

The plan was to have it all hence the original name WWII Online.
They had some troubles in the beginning, that seamed it wasn't their fault but as time passed it was cleared the pace and the way they worked wasn't right after all. E.g. lots of promisses and no show.

I played at the beginning and it was great, played some more during the "Welcome back soldier" events, but with no decent evolution... i was not going to support lazyness.

I'm playing the offline demo, and I cant seem to be able to enter exit vehicles. I'm pressing the button the keymapping tells me but still no joy. Its an exellent game though sort of reminds me of Operation Flashpiont but with better graphics. The cost puts me off buying a few months online time but I assume the cost also keeps away most kids and noobs?

You can only enter/exit vehicles as passenger.

Gaz2 · 06-10-10, 01:37 PM

Oops, so no way for getting out as a driver/ commander? Even on the ships?

Luftwaffe paying it's respect to Sesh609 who sadly passed away earlier this week.
