I play WWII OnLine (that game has REALLY improved!). One of my big complaints is that its TOO large. When someone is seiging a major town (like Brussels or Antwerp) it gets hectic, with infantry, tanks and aircraft all over the place, but often the fights are small skirmishes with 5-6 people per side (MAJOR battles in WWII OnLine have 300-400 people PER SIDE!).
I think this game will be a great diversion for some quick action, but I'll miss the realism of WWIIONLINE. I mean, in WWIIONLINE you can shoot a tank 100000 times with a rifle and it won't die (like in real life) but in this game it will die.
In WWIIOL you can shoot a tank with your tank 100 times and it might live if you:
a. Shoot the thickest armor with too small calabur of a shell
b. Shoot it at an oblique angle, effectively thickening the armor and increasing the chance of a riccochet.
c. You hit and penetrated, but didn't hit anything vital (crew, ammo, engine, etc)
etc.
This game looks to be a nice arcade shooter and I'm really looking forward to it, but as it stands, I play WWIIOL about 4 hours a day and love it.
