Nute Gunray Posted June 8, 2001 Author Share Posted June 8, 2001 The patch is: a) not bug fixes b) it is additional units for the game c) to show you how to upgrade the game, something that will happen frequently as additional units enter the war d) mentioned in teh manual.

Nute Gunray Posted June 10, 2001 Author Share Posted June 10, 2001 I don't know. I've only attempted to play online once so far (the servers are down almost constantly and the one time they were up, i got kicked back to the desktop.

Nute Gunray Posted June 10, 2001 Author Share Posted June 10, 2001 UPDATE: it did NOT lag. And I also did not survive contact. I killed a few British riflemen before I was hit. I decided to pick something simple to start with (German SMG). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Gunray Posted June 12, 2001 Author Share Posted June 12, 2001 History is clearly being rewritten in WWIIOL. Earlier today I just HAPPENED to be fighting outside the town of Anhee (in Belguim I believe). The French launched an attack and retook the city, forcing the German defenders to flee (I destroyed several enemy tanks before I succumb). All day, the Germans have been trying to retake this town and are constantly being pushed back. The Blitzkreig is a failure and the French have successfully launched a counter-offensive...

Guest Rogue 9 Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 and you said no one would want to be french. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted June 12, 2001 Author Share Posted June 12, 2001 That was because I figured they'd use ACTUAL stats on tanks and stuff, instead of whatever they are using. Panzer and Stuka were the terror words of the Blitzkreig, but this time it's Char and Spit. Early this morning, I participated in an air raid on Anhee. We also coordinated a ground assault at the same time. Anhee has fallen once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luke Skywalker Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 What happen with the polish?. If I buy this game I will play as finish ski troop, a german paratroop or in any country air operations over sea (recon, torpedo/bomb atacks or mine clearing missions). Thats are posible? ------------------ "We did it!!!" >May the force be with you< Luke Skywalker, 38th Kokou Sentai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Gunray Posted June 13, 2001 Author Share Posted June 13, 2001 You spawn at whatever base you want to. It gets nasty when you pick to spawn somewhere that the enemy is really close to. Like last night, i had just spawned and there was a french tank right in front of me (I was german). some other guy starts yelling CHAR OUTSIDE OF THE GARAGE!!! we got him earlier today i was british and me and another guy and we were both in tanks and we engaged a Stuka with our main guns.

Guest Luke Skywalker Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 How the lag affect the game?, and where I can see info about it and any demo if available ------------------ "We did it!!!" >May the force be with you< Luke Skywalker, 38th Kokou Sentai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted June 14, 2001 Author Share Posted June 14, 2001 http://www.wwiionline.com the specs are there SOMEWHERE and i doubt (due to the nature of the game) there will be a demo. Sometimes it REALLY lags, but it's like certain LOCATIONS lag so you can avoid it sometimes. Lag will kill you if you're in anything that flies. lag is dangerous in a tank. Yesterday i was driving down a straight road at full speed, lagged, and found myself upside-down next to the building i had crashed into during my lag. oh yeah...something about a mass German retreat and the French and British retaking most of Belguim.

Guest Hamblin Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 If I were to get this game, you wouldn't see me participating in a single ground battle (Or air battle over ground) if I could at all help it. In short, I want Naval battles. Naval conflicts, Naval strategy, and Naval tactics. I want to see convoys being escorted by Destroyers and Escort Carriers, as they come under attack by German U Boats. I want to see some of those battles in the Mediterranean, or the huge Naval battles in the Pacific (Leyte Gulf would, quite simply, be awesome, though likely it'd cripple my PC at the same time). I want to be a part of Force Z, and this time, ensure the Carrier that was to be a part of Force Z doesn't run aground, and therefore the Prince of Wales and Repulse don't get sunk a few days after Pearl Harbour. At the least, I want to be able to take off and land from a Carrier, if I'm relegated to just flying. In short, can any of this happen in World War II online?

Nute Gunray Posted June 14, 2001 Author Share Posted June 14, 2001 not yet. However, the first add-on they release is supposed to be sea combat. One of the menus in the game (in the mission select screen) has ALL, AIR, LAND, and SEA (sea being ghosted). Some investigation points to these nations being in the game: AXIS--Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan ALLIES--USA, Britian, France, Russia, China, and (the ever so vaguely named) Commonwealth. oh yeah and the Germans managed to beat back the French and British last night. My estimate is that Brussels will fall soon. Too bad I've taken a liking to the British A13 tank. The German tanks so far lack a top hatch for me to pop my head out of and look around. I wish I could be a pilot, but the airfields are kinda all destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luke Skywalker Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 A game can be great, but if it is affected by lag, it became unplayable. Ah, you will be fighting in the area of Belgium forever, this is because you can spawn in any location close the combat area and the enemy too, so is german-allied flood. too boring... ------------------ "We did it!!!" >May the force be with you< Luke Skywalker, 38th Kokou Sentai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted June 15, 2001 Author Share Posted June 15, 2001 Um, every game has lag. This one has VERY LITTLE lag. I'm on AOL and to say it BARELY LAGS is a NEW thing to me. The reason that we're only fighting in Belguim is because that's the only place to fight so far. They haven't introduced long range bombers or most of the sides of the war. It's not boring, except for the long drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
