Just tried the normany landing scenario. Spent 40 minutes pushing back and forth with the germans 'till we gave up. How the hell are you supposed to do that?
maybe if i would've gotten my shit things would have worked out like planned
Order tank in skirmish, have someone else get it. :frog:
amen brother
played my first game, was pretty cool
apparently i was holding off the other team 1v4 the entire time without realizing i had no teammates
was holding them off with MGs and arty until they destroyed it and some guy started spawn camping me before being kicked and finally the host ended the game
some guy was firing this crazy ass rocket thing that shot off a bunch of rockets in a straight line, what is that thing?
Katyusha, probably, if they were Russians. Panzerwerfer or Nebelwerfer if they were German. Maybe land mattress if they were British, but I could hardly call its rockets' flight path a straight line.
they were Germans definitely
Took me an hour to do the US skirmish mission with another guy on [I]easy.[/I]
The nebelwerfers and five billion AT guns pretty much stopped everything. But planes and using grayhounds to steal them fixed that. :smug:
Too bad you can't use that 203mm arty thing.
Radio operators are AWESOME!
Leveling buildings with two shots, clearing a minefield, exploding tank traps and a Tiger all done by one guy.

I don't think it's doable on normal or higher unless you all have voicechat and really work togheter (heck even then it's hard). Seriously it's fucking hard.
Plus the shared income and random unit assignment fucks it up even more (they really need to remove that).
That said I really hope they don't make it easier, no challenge no fun. On the other hand the random unit assignment and shared income has to go.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;25839194]US still suck compared to the Germans.
And things get spotted way too easily. You can have a stug in a bush and some guy halfway across the map will spot it. Probably because they keep wiggling their cannons trying to shoot things through walls.[/QUOTE]
Nah, US is on-par for most of the game. They start falling behind later when super heavies roll in, but before that they are perfectly fine. At least in my opinion.
Actually the general concensus among older testers is that USA is by far the easiest faction, and probably strongest faction to play ingame. Especially considering the focus on 'top tier mediums' in AS, a class in which the Sherman 76 reigns supreme, the Germans desperately need a Panther to compete in the end. And considering the cost of those both point and CP wise... Along with that they have much more potent options in their special units tab, M8, war machine, Sherman 105, Jumbo 76, it's all better then Germany can offer from their special tab.

it doesn't let me launch when i do this, as soon as another player joins i can launch but its pretty gay having a shit teammate.
Worked for me yesterday morning.

It works, just set password so noone else joins, then hit ready, then hit launch/start/whatever it says
Also it seems that now nearly all shells, rockets and explosives explode if you throw a grenade at them when on the ground. Which is awesome because I love dropping explosives on the path in Frontline and blowing up a few tanks with only one grenade.
This is the first game that actually has accurately modeled & colored AP, AT, and APCR shells
[QUOTE=W0w00t;25843686]It was just an HE warhead. At most, it'd flip over a King Tiger or something.
god damn those rocks flipping over my king tigers[/QUOTE]
No, it was a HEAT warhead from the 40's.
[quote=tudd;25819533]gsm has more content and is very similar, doesnt flip the mouse buttons, and is free.
Guess im going to stay with plain men of war for awhile.[/quote]
gsm?

German soldiers mod.

Shame that mod seems to be totally imbalanced.
jesus christ stop whining about balance all the time
So did they drop their philosophy of "Realism before balance" or something?
Seriously, MoW was based off real data (penetration, speed, thickness and so on) and the Germans were mostly superior to the US when it came to tanks. Now in AS the US pretty much rape the Germans. So either MoW or AS got it wrong (we aren't even talking about a small change, it's a complete role reversal).
Maybe it's the differences in price and the balancing of the resources that give that impression?

The rifle grenade the brits use in AS is the mills bomb on a stick.

What I remember the US beat Germany easily in vanilla MoW.
Or maybe not easily, but Germany was always weak in the early game.
I love the goliath (did I spell that right?). The enemy just managed to repair his Slugger and then BOOM!

Germans only win if the US team sucks, AKA if they think their tanks are made of adamantium and use them on the front line 100% of the time, without their supreme infantry, and love a good shell fest.
As US you are supposed to rape in the beginning and flank the shit out of everything they can. If you can do that you're in the green. Sure sucks when the enemy pulls out a Kingtiger or 10 Panzer 4-6s (this is almost not an exaggeration, happened in the last game I played) but its certainly manageable.
