Battleground: Europe - WW2 Online (Now with 2 week free trial) - Games

[QUOTE=luminaflare]Also can anyone tell me how well it works on vista, I want to take the free trial but there's no point wasting it on not being able to play it. Thanks for the video by the way.[/QUOTE] With 1.29 they improved the Vista compatibility. Sometimes people say they get better FPS but yes it will work.

Thanks. Is there a way to play trial without a credit card (I'm old enough to get one but I don't trust my self with one).

[QUOTE=Sethorion]I PM'd DOC about a model viewer and apparantly he wants to place pictures and shit of the locations of the damage models of each vehicle on the wiki but apparantly it would take a couple of weeks to do properly and he doesn't have the time right now.[/QUOTE] There's some pdf floating around the web showing the exact spot for sappers and atr. It included many if not all tanks and it will also work for atgs and tanks. But really now, if you spot a tank at say 1300 meters, would you really care where you'd hit it? At this range any hit you make should be celebrated (depending on the tank though. If you're using a stug, then you should). During intermission i found tank battled kind of boring. Sherman and tiger facing one another. Both (for some odd reason) have superb frontal armour. You will most likely end up missing next to none, but also killing next to none.

Don't take my word for it though.

Sherman has paper armour, Tiger has crazy thick frontal armour. Make no mistake about that.

[QUOTE=sami1337]I think you can cancel right after you activate and it should not ask for more money.

So I don't have a credit card to actually register with, in fact no one in my family does have a credit card.

You can play by sending funds via Paypal.

[QUOTE=Sethorion]Sherman has paper armour, Tiger has crazy thick frontal armour. Make no mistake about that.[/QUOTE] Haha what a joke. I shot 40 AP rounds at a sherman frontal and i didn't even kill one of the crew. And yes, that was with a tiger. The tiger and the sherman match each other in armour and fire power. Both have concrete frontal armour and both are vulnerable from the sides. Fucked up part about this is that the sherman is a medium tanks, unlike the tiger.

I've killed shermans frontally from 800m with the tiger.

[QUOTE=Sethorion]I've killed shermans frontally from 800m with the tiger.[/QUOTE] 800 meters with a tiger is like point blank for other tanks :v: Allied tanks and planes also killed my crew in a tiger frontally. But those were not ranges i was very happy about.

Tiger is invincible if used correctly. I fucking hate it when I see light EI EWS and the first 2 damn things spawned are Tigers.

[QUOTE=Sethorion]Tiger is invincible if used correctly. I fucking hate it when I see light EI EWS and the first 2 damn things spawned are Tigers.[/QUOTE] I've only seen one tiger in combat so far. The others just drove into the river or something.. However, i've seen tons of shermans passing by, so i guess allies have no shortage of heavy tanks like axis does.

Morons see a Tiger and immedietly think it's invicible and go out and do stupid shit with it because everyone knows about the tiger. The sherman is not know for being invincible so much.

When axis spots a sherman / churchill / panhard all players will know about it by reading target channel or even global axis channel. People will mobilise with atg's and additional tanks.

I'm talking about real life. Before I played Battleground Europe I didn't know the Sherman 76' existed or the Churhchill. But I did know alot about the Tiger.

[QUOTE=Sethorion]I'm talking about real life. Before I played Battleground Europe I didn't know the Sherman 76' existed or the Churhchill. But I did know alot about the Tiger.[/QUOTE] I see. Well, what i hate about the sherman in the game is that it can match up with the tiger. Only the sherman firefly can realisticly speaking.

Depends what range you're at. It's just a matter of forcing the enemy tank to play your game. In the Tiger's case this means long range frontal battles.

Unfortunately however they added extra armour to the shermans or something.

They made the sherman a tank killer, when it was a peashooter. Also we need trenches.

[QUOTE=Uberman77883]They made the sherman a tank killer, when it was a peashooter. Also we need trenches.[/QUOTE] Or the ability to dynamically dig foxholes.

and barbwire and tank traps around firebases or something

Hey so if i join this, Can i get my B17 on? :excited: I'm assuming there are B24s too Flying a bomber looks really fun, if i can get the trial thing i'd really like to give this game a try, just hard to pay for it renting my Gmod server and all :sigh:

That's Sherman flank armour tilted like the frontal armour and it's not even being hit by an 88, just a tiny shit explosion.

Heaviest bombers are the DB7, Havok and HE-111.

All i know is that the sherman is made to withstand 37mm ap high velocity shells and 50mm low velocity shells. But 75mm high velocity rounds just penetrated the frontal armor. Not sure about the gun shield though.

I got 2 kills today over the Attingy forward base, made a pretty hard landing back at Rheims though. I braked too early when I was first touching down and I ended up tilted forward with my propeller destroyed.

Just make sure you don't go beyond leveling. I can't land for shit though. One time i will fall from the sky before i am on the af, the other i almost over shoot the whole thing.

Well the reason my landing sucked hard was because my altitude was way too low. I usually go up high and just turn my flaps down, speed setting down, throttle down, and engine off. Then my wheels down and land.

Even that's debatable. Hopefully the next country to be implemented into the game are the Italians.

The french have all the american units such as shermans and P39's and P38's and so on.

[QUOTE=Sethorion]The french have all the american units such as shermans and P39's and P38's and so on.[/QUOTE] Kinda crazy when you think about it. Allied have sherman, churchill and the char.

Not really.
