I like RO, its a good mix of fun and realism. The tanks could use some work, there is no shell penitration, though angleing works nicely IMO. If you angle right (best seems to be 1 and 11 oclock) you are extremely hard to kill, Ive taken 11 hits from a panzer 4, and a panzer 3 in a TB7 and lived, killing both numerous times because of how there angleing was. I must say, the german team was pissed.

I bought RO on release and played it solidly for a long time, it's a really fun game, and certainly a cut above the average shooter. The only problem is the fact that being somewhat more realistic than most, the number of players is a lot lower than other mainstream games. I'm not sure what the population is like at the moment, but regardless of this it's still worth a go.

A sequel is currently in the works, and from what I've seen thus far, it's looking promising. So now is probably the best time to try the original.

on the servers I play on (the wild bunch) the server are usualy full (50 people) during the day.

Wild Bunch servers usually seem busy, but some say 16/50 players and they all end up being bots!!!

Unless I'm doing something wrong - which, after all, is quite likely

Hmm, alot of servers have no traffic, if you dont see names in the lower right box, its bots.

You should get Darkest Hour and pop on over to the 29th Infantry Division servers.

Just FYI, you can buy RO, Darkest hour, and the other mod who's name escapes me, in one all inclusive package for 10 USD on steam.
