What I lose in reaction time as a 40 year old to younger douchie gamers like you, I make up for in tricking out a CPU with my substantially more-than-yours disposable income.

-Fixed some vehicle AI bugs
-Fixed not being able to kill the hull MGer or tank gunner in the Panzer IV if they were a human player
-Created an intelligent system to grab bullet from partial clips before moving on to whole clips. This prevents you from ending up with all of your clips having just a few rounds missing.

-Refined speedhack detection to have less false positives

And I just got my new computer too.

[CountDeMoney]

Still think I'm going to wait a couple patches.

[The Brain]

So should I get this?

[Alcibiades]

It's fun.  *shrug*

Screenshots with Germans running around with StG 44's. Do I really want a game designed by Tim?

Edit: OK maybe I spoke in haste. I am glad.

[Habbaku]

In the first game, there was always a strong limit on how many people could be carting around StG-44s assuming the map even had any at all.

Turned out they were carrying MKb42 in the screenshots, AFAICU. Which may or may not be unrealistic but at least it's not dino-cavalry stupid.

 Worse than that is how prevalent semiautomatics are, and how rare bolt-action rifles can be. It isn't odd to find less than a third of the team using them.

Fortunately, wounds opened by the K98 cannot be staunched. The deformed soviet untermensch have trouble working the bolt of a nagant with their flipper-hands and so all wield the SVT-40, but this does not save them from the righteous justice of the wunderbolt.

Seriously, 'flipper-hands' was the funniest thing I've read all day.
