What do you think about adding 1-2 jeeps for each side on Aberdeen?

Good idea, make rush and strike on enemy tanks viable.

If you ask me, i would rather remove the planes completly at Gazala and replace it by tripple amount of tanks and jeeps.

Just imaging that epic battle on the ground with all those hidden ways to the contested area.

It would give real battles, changing from attacks to fallback, regroup and counterattacks with walls of tanks.
...

What he said ^^^^^, this is spot on for Gazala.

Planes take out tanks like shooting fish in a barrel on this map, you get scared to venture anywhere in a tank with a big fat target painted on your ass.

@ Bad Actor

You should contact Hillbilly. He restored many rifles.

Ah, just saw those are not hot weapons, still hot, but not "Hot"

...

No, we have very strict laws in the UK, think the US is currently at 290 mass shootings for 2019 already.
Still got to be mindful in the UK when shooting and transporting though given our current threat level.

Just bought one of these to add to my collection.

Fully field strippable and realistic blowback when firing.
Feels just like the real thing and boy, what a handsome weapon it is to hold and fire.
Got me out of a few tight spots in-game when my machine gun has run dry smile

Clearly it failed as Axis were pretty rubbish on a map where Axis should dominate mostly.

And this screenshot was taken about 15 years ago when I used to compete in online Nascar 2003.
Again, just before the 'Big One'.

There seems to be a pattern hence why I hung up my driving gloves and adopted BF1942.
Kind of hard to cause a pile up in a Tiger as we all rush out of base smile

#135 Re: Off-Topic » Funny Videos and Pics... » 2019-09-26 18:47:02

On my own tonight.
Thought I'd do a bit of online IndyCar racing on iRacing.
Didn't go to plan, probably the alcohol.

The online abuse that came my way after causing the big one was rather over the top.
Still, two cans later I'm ready for my next race.
I'll show 'em I can drive at 200mph in a pack race.

At least you can drunk game on BF1942 after a couple of beers with maybe the odd team kill but driving an IndyCar in a multiplayer race is probably not such a good idea  smile

#136 Re: Off-Topic » Doubt about best plane of WW2 in general (excluding jets). » 2019-09-25 09:16:15

Voted for the Spitfire due to it's iconic status and the fact I get the odd one or two flying over my house every so often due to my proximity to Bletchley Park.
The noise of that Merlin engine gives me goosebumps.

Used to get the odd Lancaster doing a flyover and even a Vulcan bomber  smile

#137 Re: Off-Topic » Doubt about best plane of WW2 in general (excluding jets). » 2019-09-24 22:56:45

Is this vote for planes in game or for real?

And keep the vote results hidden until they vote.

#138 Re: Off-Topic » WWII Weapons » 2019-09-24 06:55:09

Day Of Infamy's map of Omaha is pretty intense and very realistic.
You don't even have crosshairs .

You can select a flamethrower though and that is very satisfying, the death animation when frying enemy soldiers is awesome.

A bit unrealistic.

The Tiger moves very slowly the tower, ... in real world those tanks did not move to shot and in a maneuvre like this, they would use the chain drive also to turn faster.

At the fighting distance of 1000m the hitratio was 93%. And they could destroy a T34 from 2000 Meters with 1 shot.

No Tigercrew would spend this advantage and go closer vs. 3 Shermans

But the film was ok, yes.

...

Btw. Is that not a Firefly?

...

Yeah, the tactics have been discussed to death in the YT comments about how a real Tiger commander would have done things differently.
Typical Hollywood hokum but still a good watch.
I believe it is a Firefly going by what I read in the comments.

What a beast the Tiger is though, get goosebumps listening to that thing rumble by in the video.
That tank museum is only a couple of hours drive for me, might get down there one day and see it for real smile

#141 Re: Off-Topic » Tiger 1 » 2019-09-20 10:12:56

That one in the middle video is the Tiger they used in the movie 'FURY'.

As it was the only one they weren't allowed to change it in any way so you had a Tiger painted up in desert colours in the European theatre of war.

White Power needs another ban.
On Omaha earlier he joined then started abuse.
Someone's mother was gay and kill all jews.

As I said earlier in this thread, just ban him for life as he's clearly got mental issues.

Yes, keep the knife so when someone spills your coffee it'll all kick off.
Maybe have some saloon style doors at the entrance and a couple of chairs to chuck around.

Hey ICQ.

You are using the same camera phone I have but my photos don't come out as good as that.
Are you using a different camera app or is that the standard Xiaomi app?
You have some good 'bokeh' going on in a couple of photos.

Here's a twist on BoB.

Do away with the planes and make it a a defense/attack from sea only.
A bit like the current situation with the migrants trying to get over, Battle Of Benefits?

A sort of hybrid Omaha that works both ways.
Stick in some machine gun nests along each coast and a couple of Def Guns and see what happens.
