Level 5 Driver, loving that +75% Unlock boost. By the time I get to level 7 I should have enough saved for my Thompson and the motorcycle. I got a chance to try out the Thompson today, a teamate having dropped it. I read that it wasn't all that impressive, but as a Grease Gun user I found it to be fantastic at throwing down lead fast at mid ranges.

Has anyone reading this thread played the game for longer than 4 months? You'll find that generally many of the "bugs"/poor design changes that seem to linger well beyond any reasonable length of time are the ones that overcharge/steal warfunds, credits or gold. But it's beta, right?

Man, I cannot believe how close this game toes the line in the "Am I having fun?" test. It's probably the goddamn derpiest FPS that I've played since 2005 and is rage inducing at times. It's the closest experience to walking to the bathroom at 2:00 am through a messy room, poo poo everywhere that you stumble over and get blocked by. I also played Airfield in fog this afternoon and it really, really highlighted just how bad hacking is in this game. About 45 minutes of getting head-shot sniped from enemies I could never see. The entire room was upset in chat over the blatant cheating. I ended up just quitting another Airfield match because 15/18 players on each time were playing sniper... that isn't fun and just makes for long stalemates.

Most people crying about hackers are full of poo poo and bitter tears. Oh no, someone shot 3 people in a row with head shots. Better run to the report forums and make your case, you junior ace detective you! I am the guy, getting those head shots. 4 in a row is my record. With PPSh pre-fired at eye level while walking into a point mid-cap. 4 out of 5 idiots were just standing there, ignoring the door. They went down in under 2 seconds. But I got to hear about how much of a hacker I am in chat for the next 5 minutes. People firing tank shells out of sniper rifle are hacking. Tank dispensing shells at machinegun rate may just be an obvious hacker. Full auto pistol with a bottomless magazine may also be a suspect. I've personally witnessed that poo poo, took a screen shot, and quietly submitted a report later. Catching a bullet from the dense of fog is you sucking at the game and failing to understand how visibility works, not a work of hacketry.

Playing this game reminds me of all the tedium or WWII online with worse armor play, less combined arms, and less stuff that you actually get to use. The graphics are nicer and you can ride bikes I guess?

I was messing around with planes and I watched a messerschmidt get away by turning sideways and flying in circles through a forest under the canopy until I lost him because I wasn't crazy enough to try and follow him. It's stupid to suggest that aimbots and other hacks aren't completely loving rampant, though - a quick google search will find you a pretty complete package, consisting of an aimbot, overlays, radar, and even a warning system to tell you when players are approaching you from behind. It's not exactly rocket science.

Professor Shark posted:Man, I cannot believe how close this game toes the line in the "Am I having fun?" test. On the other hand when it's good it's legitimately good. And every now and then it gets incredibly hilarious to play it. That factory level with multiple squadrons of fighters and bombers duking it out is some of the most insanely chaotic poo poo i've seen in a WW2 game. Especially if you get unlucky and it's foggy out. No one in the air can see poo poo and the level is cramped enough that it leads to massive team killing as both teams have to make snap judgement calls on whether to open fire or not. The whole map becomes some sort of ridiculous guerrilla war as everyone tries to avoid their own side's trigger happy pilots. The last time I was in a goon group that had that scenario we were all afraid to step outside given how bad the aerial fuckfest was. Wearing a headset was a constant auditory assault as like half a dozen bombers just carpet bombed the level any time they saw something as much as a tree move. I managed to convince a bunch of goons to pile into my jeep to make a run for a point only to get halfway to the factory itself (as everything exploded around us) before one of our own bombers made a bad judgement call and blew the entire group to hell.

For a change of pace, I'd love to see an option to purchase other faction's small arms or even vehicles. Maybe put a huge ceiling on it, like a level 12 weapon mastery or something. But trying different guns is fun, especially if it's the thompson

Sorry that I besmirched your lovely F2P FPS and thus challenged your fragile ego, enjoy your continued denial until people just stop logging in, I guess. Speaking of which, I'm deleting this game today, having just accessed the Sharkcycle. I used it twice it the condition went down to 90%, requiring money to fix, which I guess I should have expected from this game.

Hahaha, that doesn't loving surprise me with how much it costs to keep a osk gun working (still gently caress those guys, gently caress them to hell) and the fact there's usually a couple of suspicious people per game I don't blame you, I regret the £15 I put into this game.

organburner posted:spent all my money on my us guys, all my friends started playing as nazis and don't want to switch If all you really want is to be a tanker, the German side is the way to go. Germany has faster progression through their trees and more upgrades over the American side. Also, while the planes are basically equivalent in terms of performance, the Lightning is bigger and commensurately easier to hit, while the German plane gets their resupply faster (90s vs 120) at the cost of 1 fewer bomb on their bomb load. The bomb load thing might seem like an American advantage, but there's a badge that gives you extra bombs, so Germany ends up pulling ahead there (along with their bombs being easier to hit precisely, being center-mounted instead of dropping from the wings).

Then again I played before you had to unlock different tank types and poo poo which was a very nice surprise. loving mg tanks are useless.

Learning the few maps is important to doing well... Starting off in a tank will just end up with you getting killed constantly because you keep loving popping your head out to see where you are. If you don't know the maps as a pilot, you won't know the routes people take and will have a hell of a time killing peeps on the ground. Infantry first for sure.

It's hard to make WF in the RTS part of the game with anything other than guards and non-motorized infantry (tank hunting with sticky grenades). I've made WF using my light tanks, but never have paratroopers been worth the cost. I've also failed to make WF with planes, as it really relies on having very few crashes and lots of enemy tanks. Any tips here?
