Best WWII game I've ever played
Just being on foot is complicated, you need to judge distance and adjust for drop and still aim on a moving target. Driving requires constant attention, you actually have to shift on your own, and tires can get blown out by enemy fire. As a turret operator you can move your turret around on foot, but it takes time, so cooperation with trucks and their towing ability is key. In tanks you can operate solo or with a team, there are 3 seats in them, a drive gunner, and spotter. And then there is flying, flying is insane. You have to pay attention to so much, it makes your kills even sweeter knowing you got it off the ground and to the battle. I've never personally been behind the wheel of a Naval unit, so I dont know much about them.
The game is just so expansive, the map is huge. The biggest letdown is trying to get to combat. Sometimes you have to travel miles by foot just to get picked off by a sharpshooter or miss the battle.
The only con I can see that drives players away is the learning curve, it can take some people awhile to get the hang of how the game works. I personally had some problems getting used to everything, but I found some veterans who helped me out and I was set.
The community is very welcoming and willing to help any new members, which makes you want to come back again and again.
I truly didn't appreciate this game until I ended up marching into a town with the Allies in a huge armor column, it was just incredible to see all these people actually working together to achieve the objectives, with people stopping to make sure hte infantry had rides.
All in all, this game is incredible. It just has an epic feel to it and lets you explore whatever branches you want. The community makes the game worth it alone, organizing huge campaigns and giving real time orders to you. The graphics are dated, but for the time and the type of game they're great. Give it a chance, and you'll be hooked
