Try this mod called Darkest Hour. I know you don't care, but I think it really improves RO and is worth trying.

The tank combat is vastly improved - no more silly angling - and I think the ballistics are better too. I think the tank maps are more open and allow for more long range combat than RO's. Some tanks have smoke rounds, another feature I don't recall from RO. Also, mg fire can destroy jeeps and kubelwagens, which reduces the effectiveness of the clown cars.

The graphics are also less cartoonish than RO's.

I play on the Jolly Rodgers tank server, which is full or close to it on the weekends or evenings in Europe and NA. Most players are pretty good, and it can be a lot of fun when your side really employs teamwork.

The 29th Infantry Division server concentrates on infantry maps logically enough, and is also very active. Alas, most of the ~50 other servers are empty most of the time.

Anyway, it's been awhile since I've played RO. It's hard to go back to after Darkest Hour.

I don't like DH much, but that's mostly because I'm partial to the Eastern Front setting of the original RO.

Darkest hour greatly improves gameplay on stock RO. Both versions are good, try them. Just one thing, don't expect you can rambo your way thru the maps like the Call of Duty games, you are gonna get bored with the combat realism effects.

He plays WWIIOL, so I am gonna bet he knows how to "Keep it tactical".

I fired up RO last night. I am so used to Darkest Hour now, I am having trouble adjusting back to RO.
