Title: Times in FH1/2 you felt 'proud', or perhaps simply awesome.
Post by: Fearbefore. on 25-08-2009, 22:08:47
Being the lazy sniper and sneaky tanker I so often am in FH, I seem to find myself almost nightly in a situation where I am the last on my team left alive. Usually I am killed immediately and the enemy team empties their clips and throws their grenades into the sky, but occasionally I have moments where I manage to - in epic fashion - secure a flag for my team, and it fills me with a sense of pride, which is a strange thing for a game to instill in you.

So, this thread is for you to post up quick stories, reminiscing about the times you simply owned someone in ridiculous fashion, times when you played far beyond your usual abilities for a few minutes, shit like that.

Probably my finest moment -

Last Brit alive on Arnhem, in that little alley where you can pick up the deployable MG. I've got a PIAT kit with 2 rockets left (hadn't used any pistol ammo). I decide to try and take the second flag in (the one with the 6 pounders and Bren guarding it, with the sandbags). I'm running down the alley, revolver drawn, when a Puma comes roaring by, and by pure bad luck he happened to be looking down the ally. He fires his main gun, I'm down to about 60% health. The Puma reverses for the kill shot, I whip out the Piat, crouch down, fire and destroy the Puma. I instantly get a 'feeling' to pull my revolver back out immediately, even before reloading my final Piat round. I pull out the revolver just as a German comes running down the alley. I fire two shots and kill him. I decide that I should just try the southernmost flag first and I take off the other way down the alley. I decide at this point it's better to be safe than sorry, so I duck into the little bit where the alley turns (right next to the MG kit). Just then, a German with an Mp40 comes running by and up the alley without seeing me. I put two more No 2 shots in his back and kill him. Again, 'something' told me not to pick up his kit and stick with my Piat. I reload the Piat, reload my pistol, and take off for the flag. I go to hide behind the stairs, but there's a German there. He hits me with one Mp40 round (I'm now at about 20% health iirc) before I score a very lucky single-shot kill with the revolver. I crouched behind the stairs and the flag had turned white when I hear a tank approaching from my left. I crouched, changed to the Piat, and moved just slightly out enough that I could fire it. I go into iron sights, knowing I will have just one shot, and as luck would have it I aimed perfectly - the Panther appeared, firing it's MG into the bulding, I let loose with the Piat, and the round slammed into the side of the turret, and the tank exploded.

Sadly, it was still a complete rape from that point onwards, but what the hell.

Anyone have stories like this? I don't necessarily mean that 'zomg headshot' shit, either.

When I spent all the ammo of my Breda 30 and my Beretta 34 on Bardia and I killed one Aussie with my knife when going back for ammo.
After that I was shot in the back.
Oh,and when I hit any infantry with the Pzb39.
The secuence of: shoot noise,killtag and reloading animation is priceless.
Same when I get a kill with any pistol.
Oh,and when a Brit was going to knife an italian on Giarabub and I shot him with my Beretta 34,again.

(Yes,I am a Breda 30,Beretta 34 and P38 freak)

Shot down a Typhoon with a single K98k shot, when I couldn't even see the plane, in FH1.

Caused PTSD in Lustvig in the 130th after a combined arms training on Breakthrough 1944, when he came into my ventrilo channel saying over and over "explosions everywhere...we couldn't move...they...everywhere..." after experiencing a long barrage from my Ostwind.

Going 42-2 with a hanomag on Nordwind, both deaths were TKs.

Finding my special secret MG spot on Omaha

Being the 2nd public player of FH1 to see the Barbie King Tiger tank, discovery credit goes to Wehrner.  We eventually got it out, and were transporting it to the German main, when a tard on the brit team blew it up, despite a called truce on it that all other allied players accepted fully (hell, some were riding alongside of us).

Any game of Gold Beach.

Any of the 130th clan games I COed....

In general, when the 130th Panzer Lehr was an organized, well maintained clan.

Doing my SAS jeep raids on FH1 Gazala, in which me and some 130th would get into those SAS jeeps up in the airfield way in the upper left corner of the map.  We'd then ride east along that valley road to the Brit main, shoot anything we saw while still driving all the way through all the british flags, until we reached the german main.  Basically the idea was "see if we make it."  Usually we didn't, but it was always loads of fun.

When on Arnhem,i stole the jagdpanther and used it against the germans.NO german tank got past that Bridge that map


Also, when i was bombing Panzer III on Gazala.Even shot down a ME109 that map.My tailgunner got the other one aswel.

When on FH2, i grabbed the Tiger tank.and kept it alive the entire round. I positioned myself near mareth, with some trees as cover.

AND when i was manning the priest on Supercharge. I saw this Stuka coming towards me. So i grabbed that .50CAL and i started firing......and got it    and it crashed on a Friendly Tank.....

I think I remember that time on Arnhem THeTA0123, if that happened usually the germans would wound up getting massacred  :) Could remember one time the allies even captured 2 tanks...

Always felt proud when I was the first guy to break the Omaha defense and kill the axis from behind, letting the rest of the troops in effectually..

FH1:
I was flying around, strafing American landing craft on one of the Japanese Island maps. Suddenly I get messaged that I am the last man alive and need to take a flag.

So I choose one of the distant flags, with enough beach to land (can't ditch a servicable plane on wolf), hop out and kill two players who were guarding it. I take the flag and everyone cheers my heroics..... except the other side, who start screaming about how I must have cheated, baled the plane, and so on.

We still lost, but we made one heck of a come back.
---------------
Anytime I used a sub and evaded a destroyer...... I felt awesome  ;D.

I was always the tank killer that is responsible to take out the elites' tanks (with a tank of course), or dare to challenge a much better tank with my modest Sherman (many panthers and tigers died under my 75mm gun), and to note is that my ping is always crazily high. Some people should have in their memory the deadly tanker here.

My skills somehow carried onto FH2 and was one of the better tankers during the days of 2.0 ...

I'm proud to say I was among the first tankers to be able to "massacre" Grants with a panzer III there when most people simply refuse to play in the German side in Aberdeen.

Another thing I'm proud of is my ferocity in combat, something that usually brings me "most deaths" honour and perhaps good contribution to team instead of people sitting there. (still, people remembers me as a sucky infantryman...)

now my skills and sense deteriorated that I couldn't even massacre newbies

Yesterday had a great game on hslan...Teamed up with Topdodger and the teamwork was great! There was an instance on Sfakia where we attacked the Command Post flag. Threw a smoke grenade and started firing! I never was so accurate in firing as at that precise moment...I downed 5-6 germans all in sequence. Finally ending the fight with a knife vs bayonet challenge! It felt great seeing the flag go white and the brit flag come up! Priceless!

Capturing all flag on tunis. Incredible feeling. My team made it few times when on server were 30 ppl. Once we did it against 32 germs.

The best is after capturing, every opponent is hiding near flag, and one brit team is defending flag against 20-30 germs. Only hope is frontline from market will brake and rest of teadrinkers can help us.

Final of NatCup, 3 in the night, Sfakia as brits. Fighting against team Hungary. They captured all our flags. I left as last brits. Wanted to capture cafateria[upper?] from seaside. Unfortunatly our power provider was making repairs and they turn power off :D we lost battle, but won war:D

In FH 1, it was on the map fall of Berlin (the map with all the clutter everywhere). The germans put up a very descent defense but eventually had to fall back to the last flag. We lost the last flag and all the germans were being gunned down one by one, till i was the only one left. I managed to go inside a house kill 3 russians, and hide on the top floor. Now for some weird reason the russians still had the bleed (i think the russians have bleed always ON, on this map). And the russians only had a couple of tickets left. So the whole german team was typing on teamchat that i had to keep hiding. Nobody found me, even after the russians asked me to surrender XD.

Happened a bit, on maps with everything - Air, arty, tanks, infnatry...

Defending a position against withering fire, lying prone with a squad or something - having bullets whizz overhead from an enenmy tank coaxel and enemy troops dashing at us in never ending numbers...

Picking off as many as i can, somehow dissabling the tank or at least getting out it's line of fire.. Tuning around, discovering my entire squad is dead - dashing for cover, still trying to hold the base @ all costs, having the tank firing @ me non-stop, getting pinned down...

And suddenly, having an allied armoured advance group come from my rear unnoticed and blow the enmy tank away and chase the enemy infantry off - Like some scene from SPR... and its happened so many times... Gosta love those scenarios

2) Clearing the way for my advancing force, especially one facing big cats (i.e obviously heading for a slaughter), me in an overhead bomber or fighter-bomber taking out the enemy and strafing infantry where I can - Always a personal blow when I swoop over a Panther or Tiger and miss with a bomb and need to come around for another pass only to have it take out yet another allied tank.. But finally, having my men enter the breach, take trhe flag and hear a scrowling 'We've got em on the run!' - I feel like free-looking over the edge of my plane, wittling with wings and waving to the men below as I fly out of there...

3) Playing chicken with an Ostwind and winning while in a fighter bomber or medium bomber... More so, when the plane actually fails and I have to bail, but still get my kill :-)

I think it was on Supercharge FH2, when playin a lone wolf defending the first cityflag.

One Brit was on the east side of the Town with an AT Kit (dunno why?), i knifed him from behind and took his Kit.

After that i take cover straight on the front line and waited for my pray and there they come 1 Sherman and 1 Crusader Mk.III.First i got the Crusader with one AT Nade and then the Sherman with the other 2 AT Nades oh that was fun^^

Last night, Arnhem on Pixel Fighter was quite good. Usually I don't give a shit about my score but several times I was one of the final few Brits alive and still capped a flag, although perhaps my proudest moment of that round was spawning with a Bren when someone else had capped the second to last flag (the one where the flag is in a pile of rubble), running out of the building and proning next to the jeep, and killing SIX attacking German infantry with ONE clip from the Bren. I'm really falling in love with the gun, even if that particular bit of defense was mostly luck.

I always feel oddly proud in FH1 when I take the Enfield engy kit or the Browning kit and use it to mine the roads, and then some jerk in a Kettenkrad comes burning along down the street to cap our last flag and promptly explodes. Also fun to Exp-Pack a flag there and blow it up as soon as it goes white.

I always get a twinge of joy whenever I hear the "click" of someone tripping my S-Mine before the explosion.  If you're close enough, you hear the "click" then the "boom" then the scream.  So satisfying...

I rember once being the last brit alive on Alam Halfa.  I stayed hidden overlooking the airfield for about 10 minutes picking off Germans there with my No.4.  They kept spawning there because they were dying there, and didn't think I would be up on the ridge.  It all ended though when a MG34 guy slaughtered me from above and behind.

Also the time I attacked the crete monastry with a thompson (50 round drum) and just couldn't seem to miss anyone.  Never again have I been able to loft grenades through window with such accuracy.

Also the time I killed the wirblewind with a PIAT, but thats another story for another day.

Forgot to add whenever you kill someone in a place or in a certain way that's unexpected - mentioned mines and exp packs, but also deployable MGs are a ton of fun (Browning on Ramelle is awesome) but it's also a great feeling when you actually use manual power on a nade to get it to fall perfectly on the other side of a wall.

I can remember the good times with the Browning on Ramelle, if you put that thing up properly in the garden aimed at the hole in the wall then thats it, its gunning down axis after that  :)

Exactly, immense fun to set up the .30 cal in the little field there, especially when you see a grenade fly over the wall and you hit E quickly, run off, grenade explodes, you run back and re-set and just keep the slaughter going.

Back in FH1 i was on teh map Outskirts of berlin. loved that map.. i took the BT7 and drove over the hill and flanked the King Tiger didnt even know i was there and i literally just rammed him from behind he didnt move, and i guess didnt feel me hit the tank and i jsut put EVERY ROUND into his rear. he started smoked when i go down to ten shells left and i knocked him out with the last round.. that was great.. i still remember that very well..  thinkign about that.. is FH1 still played heavily?

The Pixel-Fighter server is full for most of the day and usually has between 15-30 people online at all times. The Damned Priests is less populated but it too has 20-30 people online at peak times, and every now and then you will run across a different server with a decent amount online.

One would assume with the impending release of Normandy for FH2 that FH1 will suffer a fair bit, but I think people will eventual go back to FH1 whether through familiarity or to play Ostfront/Pacific maps.

Paradropping on FH1 Crete at Suda Bay, stealing a Matilda and capping the flag, then proceeding to annoy Tommies for a good 15 mins around the whole island. Enough to have half of their team whinning on how tanks should be locked. I think even an admin said he'd server mod it to be so ;D

In classic Bocage (Can't recall if there was another one different from the vanilla version). Hiding under the Lumber shack roof at middle flag near the windmill with a Jagdpanther. Gives you a clear view of the fields surrounding the first flag cap for Americans and Americans exiting the camp in tanks, jeeps, etc. I have gotten at least 30 kills easy doing that, with over 20 passes by American dive bombers (completely unsuccessful due to roof over head).

Although quite often the end result is an bazooka wielding yank outflanking and taking out my engine block...

Today, just now on Pixel-Fighter. Killed 9 enemies with the Colt .45. Best was waxing 3 Germans with my Thompson, then having another appear before I could reload, I bust out the Colt and take him in two shots, then waste the remaining 5 killing the a final German before being able to reload.

Had another one last night. Found a good spot to sit with my Firefly, which I jokingly announced I'd named Stephy in honor of an ex-girlfriend. I expected to be satcheled immediately after saying that, but I knocked out three panthers, a pzIII, two tigers, 4 stugs, a pzIV, a jagdpanzer, an enemy wolverine, and mowed down loads of inf before - and this was pure luck - changing the camera to the reverse chase view and seeing a fauster sneaking up behind me. The browning was conveniently pointed backwards anyway and I mowed him down. To top it all off, when I was eventually satcheled, I bailed in time and killed the man who blew up my poor Stephy.

Last night, on FH1/Orel. Sitting on top of one of those blown up buildings at the top left flag. Some dude in a Panzer III comes rolling along, I hit him twice in the tracks and once in the turret hatch with my PTRS. Goes up in flames. Then some other jerk comes rolling along in a jeep, caps the flag, and then gets into the Stuart that had spawned their when the Russians had it. Three shots and i blow him up. Respawns, gets into the jeep, and I blow that up with one shot. I'm getting low on ammo so I go down the stairs, run over to the flag building, reload and then break out the pistol. I cap the flag and then some goof in a 222 comes burning along, and I blow him up as he's going full speed. Unfortunately, when i got back to my hiding place, an Elefant came rumbling by. I frantically requested anti-tank support. The dude in the Elefant seemed reluctant to bail and cap the flag, instead just sitting there and looking south, and as I'd had a dude in a SU-76 respond to my quick f2+f3 I took careful aim with my PTRS, and sent a round slamming into the hatch on the top of the Elefant. I got hit indicators, so I did this 3 more times, succesfully getting hit indicators on two of those shots. The dude in the Elefant seemed to figure out what was going on, as he was spinning on the spot and randomly firing 88 shells into buildings, but fortunately, the dude in the SU showed up and finished him in two shots.

The rest of the round was mostly uneventful, but that was a good feeling.

what made me feel proud was when i was on operation goodwood and i sneaked up into the church tower thwere 2 german snipers were and i knifed them both without me making a sound, and also where a german was following me and i layed an anti-infantry mine and he fell for it and died! and also spotting for artillery and watching it fall down on the enemy...

i feel so proud when i get kills and helping other people, it gives me that sense of duty and contributing to the war effort by helping my team win :)

I felt proud on Kharkov Winter last night, patiently hiding in the trees and taking out a Panzer III in nine shots with the PTRD (he had an engineer with him, and I was afraid to waste ammo trying to hit the engy from such a distance). Unfortunately, my kill shot was both hilarious and tragic - he had parked on the bridge trying to cap the flag, and with his tank burning, he bailed, and I sent one more round into the tracks of the PzIII and blew it up. Unfortunately, I killed a teammate who was attemption to shoot the bailer, but both my comrade and the enemy flew way up into the air and into the river when the tank exploded.

Using the flamethrower at Operation Luttich. Nothing felt more awesome in all my experience. My best action with it was the defense of the church. It was made rather difficult by the Panzer IV and the Puma outside, but I managed to run into a tent and hide. Whenever German infantry approached the church or the flag, they turned to ash! Eventually the tanks were distracted by the flames long enough for the bazooka guy to get a shot in and destroy both with a a single shot each. Thus, the Germans with their superior numbers and firepower were just pwned with little to no Allied losses, as all my guys were in the church for the most part except for me covering both entrances and the flag. We kicked major ass that day.

muhaha just now on Totalize. I join the server, get canadian and what do you know, the whole team is on one side of the river getting raped. So I decided against joining a squad and went rambo instead (well, not rambo, more like Sam Fisher). I decided to sneak to the artillery flag. Victims on my way there:
3 8.8mm crew
1 Marder I crew
several infantry

After a while I reached the artillery flag only to find a tank there and several soldiers running around. I drop into the trenches to get into cover. Suddenly a German jumps into my trench without noticing me. I draw my knife and follow him into a flak emplacement. Just as I want to knife him, the following things happen almost at the same time:
-I see that he is turning around
-I realize there is a second German in the same emplacement
-I knife the first one and pick up his scoped StG44
-I watch in horror as the second one is turning around while the deploy animation of my StG is playing
-I see the second German shoot his carbine, missing me
-I riddle him with buletts

Of course now I had to be fast, since the two Germans would spawn in again to kill me, so I ran into the flagzone. Once the flag was capped, several Canadians spawned in and I jumped back into the trench. Chaos, explsoions, everybody is dieing and the flag is turning extremely fast, indicating that a whole squad has overrun the position. Suddenly, a loud motor and a Tiger drives on the trench, stopping directly over my head. Riding infantry dismounts, I shoot two guys and get shot in turn.

If they made that in a movie everybody would call bullshit.

Yesterday I got to ride the King Tiger in Goodwood. After having shot a Sherman, a 6 Pounder, another Sherman, a Cromwell, a third Sherman and the Sherman Firefly I got killed.

Someone typed into chat: "lol, king tiger only lives for 2 mins" so I replied "lol, allied tank army only lives for 2 mins" That was awesome.

It is! The first Sherman was trying to shoot me, but I hadn't passed it fully (it was behind some bushes, I didn't see it at first). So I stopped and started turning my turret. Man, the fear! The Sherman tried to get away as quickly as possible! In vain, of course.

Few days a go. I shot down attacking Typhoon with main gun of my Tiger on Totalize. I saw him attacking me from the front side, he was sooo close and luckily quite slow. I aimed instinctively the main gun..Blam!..no typhoon..just the beautiful sky... ;D 

In fact I was so proud that I somehow overlooked well positioned Firefly.. :(

I always have a certain love for a vehicle wich nobody has or doesnt understand.


Today, i developed a love for the M8 Greyhound, on Operation Luttich.

This thing is a BEAST. I speed around the battlefield with this thing, looking for.......TANKS! Panzer IV and Stugs to be exact. Since you only need 2 shots to get them in the rear. Today on Operation Luttich, i got a score of 21-5( First 4 deaths was spawnraped by panther). I killed 3 Stug's and 2 Panzer IV, many Halftracks and many infantery.
The greyhound is simply the best vehicle on Luttich.

Hint to the users= If you see a stug, Drive behind it, and aim at the rear of the SUPERSTRUCTURE. Park urself behind the Stug, with ur side facing its rear, This way, you can keep up any move. Fire at the rear superstructure, its the plate above the engine deck. 2 Shots are all what it takes.

Puma is more fun on Luttich if you know the routes around.

Also, the Panther on Goodwood or Totalize, its a mean son of a bitch. Always take it over the Tiger II, i don't like mobile pillboxes.

They are basicly the same. The greyhound has more ammo and is also much smaller, but the Puma has a better AT gun

Greyhound is better against infantery, Puma better against tanks.

Purple heart lane, playing as axis.

At round start I picked a K98 kit and went to the hedgerows east of the first flag. I soon killed a nearby american, take his garand, turns out it is a recon kit.
We get kicked in the donkey quite fast, first flag falls very soon. So I find myself with a recon kit behind enemy lines... I started to withdraw.

I ended withdrawing all the way to the bridge, then to the MG emplacements south of the last flags, then to the woods south of the farm flag, then to the last two flags... while spotting, manning MGs and placing AP mines along the way.

At last while I was crawling along a hedgerow almost in the capzone of one of the last 2 flags the americans start to allchat me to surrender and I realized I was the only german player left on the whole map. Of course when I reached the capzone the flag capture display didn't move at all, I guess flag was full of enemy.  :D

First time I never respawned in a map from round start to the very end. The continuous retreat was very immersive, even being killed when I finally reached a flag zone was movie-like. Too bad there is no "surrender" key in FH2. :)

FH1, Pacific map (can't remember the right name).

I had grabbed the kit with the noob stick, last of my team and no flag left. I run to the last flag we had lost, toast several guys with the flamethrower, then completly deplete the colt ammo shooting at a few others, and last start beating the big bad guys with the noob stick, one, two, three, four ...

This happened a so long time ago that I can't remember if I actually managed to cap the flag, but that's one of the most epic fights I carried out.  ;D

I really like this one...and I have a comment abour "Surrender"

Me and a friend were having a great round storming the Lebisey HQ in Lebisey 16...
Suddenly,we realize that Germans got around 20 tickets left...

-What can we do?!
-I got an idea...
-What?
-Take the MG34 kit and follow me...
-Ok

Now I supposed we were going to go Rambo or something...
So,we went through the forest behind the HQ until we reach a nice hidden spot...
Then...wtf

-I am the German Commander so I cannot surrender...shoot me
-What about me...shoot me too...
-OK,I´ll count to 3...
-3,2,1...bang

It was perfectly sincronized...we killed eachother and there were 2 tickets left...so,game over

Everytime I went out with my trusty Panzerfaust in FH1, especially Goodwood and Nordwind.

Omaha Charlie Sector 24/7 Server, 5 o'clock in the morning: I was a little drunk, incredibly tired and had played the entire night. Turned out to be my best round ever. :D

And of course, every single round of Arnhem!

I tried FH2 when it came out, but the endless desert and the mid-war equipment wasn't my cup of tea. The moment I heard old Ludwig van and began the assault on Mortain, I was back in business! :D

FH2:

It was one of the late games and last ~15 people were just about to leave the server after the round ends in couple of minutes, when a Kingtiger came around the central-western flag of Goodwood shooting around. I was a brit in a bush next to the tank but driver didn't see me when he drove by.

Several guys including me from behind started shooting it with PIATs. Tank also got some Sherman hits. Finally after a few seconds, it destroyed the Sherman and killed all PIAT guys, but damaged started to run away to the south.

I had only one PIAT shell left, and the tank was moving away quite fast. Even though I chased him on foot, since I got the shell and the iron sights set up, tank was almost hundred meters away from me and moving.

I set up an highly optimistic high angle uber skill pwnage ballistic ingenious shot of art, and fired: shell went up in a nice smooth arc, and then directly on the tank's hull. BOOM. Felt so good :D

Yeah, longrange hits with the piat are awesome. Yesterday I got killed by a P IV, respawned behind a hegderow and started to aim in a 90° angle in the sky, just for fun. Pressed the trigger and killed the P IV behind the hedgerow with a hit on the engine deck. That was pretty fun.

On Op. Totalize, i had my cromwell charging west from the main base. I burst through the hedgerow on the northernmost hay field, where there was a sherman.  I could see a turret top so I halted my advance. Then the Sherman blows up. Tiger. FFUUU

So i retreated back through the bush and drove in the ditch westward. I come up to the destroyed german column. The Tiger was still there and it turned away from me to retreat into a better firing position. I rush him and  get behind him, and fire three APCBC shells into its rear. Bye bye tiger!

Then i moved south towards the windmill, and i see a Stug at the flag. Blew him up. Moved over the river and looked left. OH SHIT, ANOTHER TIGER! I was luckyand it was damaged, since it blew up with one shot to the front. I moved north past the 88 on flak battery and come up at the curved road. I see a P4 and a Panther, looking south, so i was on their flank. Shot at the panther, hit, saw the P4 turret turning towards me, shot it and blew it up, my mate in another cromwell kills the panther.

Summa summarum: 2 Tigers, one Stug, one P4 and a kill damage assist to a Panther.

Time to bump.

Villers-Bocage: Rawhide was our squadleader. We took the willys and moved east at the top edge of the map to flank all the german super pwnage tigers and panthers. Rawhide was driving. We arrive at the tankspawns at point 213. three people in the jeep. i shot at one guy with my sten, i hit him but dont kill him. then rawhide gets killed by a lucky k98 shot. I exit the vehicle and so did the other guy, who gets almost instantly killed. I jump back in the jeep quickly and drove like hell and made it back to the british main. Fun as hell.

Then we take the jeep again. Same plan. I don't remember who it was but someone in a burning tiger shot us to hell. he had retreated to repair it and we emerge from the bushes right in front of his 88 KwK.

Third time i was driving the jeep and drove eastward through tilly, when i saw a panther at the other side of the bridge with the cannon straight pointed at us. I quickly turned right at an intersection and hear the panther gun go boom. The shot hit a house to our right.  I drove around a house back towards the road and got through a line of bushes and saw the same panther burning there and coming towards us. The round ended, so we didn't get killed.

Was the last kill on the map as well, won with 68 tickets iirc

I also just now played Operation Lutich where i drove the M5 tank armed with the 37mm cannon, came up behind a stug and panzer4 took me FOUR shots up the stugs ass before it blew up, managed to get two shots up the panzer and get it burning before its turret rotated around and one shotted me  :'(

On Liebsey, I believe I was in Rawhide's squad, our section and a couple others came up on the trenches of East AT. After a charge that resulted in most of us dying, we respawned and threw smoke.  A Sherman advanced point, deuling it out with the PaK as we went charging.  With the help of the smoke, the PaK was taken out, and the majority of the infantry made it into the trench.  I bayoneted the mg gunner, and the others took out the other Germans in hand-to-hand.  It was awesome, closest I've felt to being in a real battle in FH ever.  And this is public!

FHSW (fits under FH1), I was on Meuse River line. We had captured, as Americans, the entire island, and I was watching the bridge in my M36 from by the church, in a good flanking position. Every time a German would try and cross it, in a Panther or Tiger or what have you, I would one-shot them in the side. It was the perfect range, so that they would be nothing but a foggy silhouette and I would be invisible, partly parked in an alley. Infantry from my team was trying to take the radar station on the german side, and kept calling for armor support. I would occasionally oblige them by firing a 90mm shell into the bunker, but I wasn't going to drive up there, exposing my rear end, and the three flags on the island, to a horde of pissed of jerries. I was feeling good, having one-shotted a great deal of scary kitties, when out of nowhere some A-hole came and satcheled me, on my own team. I asked him why, and he said that I did not respond to his call for support.

Now a reasonable teamkiller would have knifed me, taken my tank, and then drove on up there, to be shot cause the stupid guy is practically standing in the turret, but who destroys the 2nd most valuable tank on your side because you did not go out of your way to help them? (I was in pershing before but was swarmed under by a tsunamis of panzerschrecks while taking the island.)

Also, gleefully happy when I discovered the B-25 Gunship on Alpenfestung FHSW. Standoff rocket bombardment and strafing here we come! Its perfect, cause its slow enough to spot and react to targets, and stable enough to hit them accurately from a distance, and heavily armed enough to kill everyone in a base! (12 50 cals and 12 rockets!)

I saw the PoW and the Liberty Ship to strike the Yamato from abeam simultaneously, causing it to capsize with the entire crew aboard.

Many lols were had. It almost landed on me and my wee landing craft.

It was on FH0.7, on the Berlin map.

I was playing as a Russian, and 'defended' the Allied main, with my trusty Nagant rifle.
German after German kept rushing towards me, some guys almost got me, but they didn't.
After a while, the round ended, and I survived the whole round. When I had a look at the scoreboard, I had 54 kills, and 0 deaths  8)

But that has only been once..

My best effort was a round on Goodwood about a week ago on WOLF or WaW (don't recall which one).

Spent most of the round in a tank hanging around in the area near Le Mes picking off tanks and infantry while almost all my teammates were fighting it out in Cagny.

Came first on my team and 4th overall out of about two dozen.

Not bad considering my ridiculous lag (350 av.)... ;D

Some captain in the pacific theatre actualy did that! It was IIRC in the battle of the Leyte gulf or something like that.The whole fleet was retreating and he started charging on the enemy fleet and some other vessels started attacking too.In the end they defeated the Japaneese but that destroyer and its captain were lost...

Yesterday on hslan, Operation Totalize.

Came in from FlaK battery going south towards the Artillery Battery over the river with me Cromwell. Just when I got over the river I turned left and went down the river in cover of the hill. Meet a Jerry with a Panzerfaust, he picks it up and is just about to fire. Thanks to the speed of the Cromwell I gain some kind of superboost when I turned the Cromwell towards him and stepped on it. The Cromwell almost flew over him and he was crushed. Looked kinda weird but also... AWESOME.

What we have learned from this? Cromwell - Too fast for love

during like the second week after the release of 2.0

It was an Siege of Tobruk, I was a german.
from the mainbase, I went up the ridge overlooking the battlefield.
Far down, I saw a Universal Carrier driving aimlessly around. It was very far away, when aiming with ironsights of my K98 I could pretty much only see a big square, couldn't tell what were heads etc.
While it was moving at top speed, I just aimed and fired - not intending to kill anyone, impossible i thought - and I killed a brit, and the Universal Carrier is brought to a halt.
I felt proud

There's been two really times in FH2

First I was driving panzer 3 N model in one desert map and enemy had squad behind our lines so I noticed them and started to chase em but they went behind sand hill or something similar. Then I drove over that hill and they were gettin mines ready to use and aiming with AT rifles so I kinda panicked and shot once with HE but it went way over them as I couldn't lower my gun enough. So as last ditch effor I pressed pedal to the metal and drove over 3 of them and managed to survive and then turn around at safe distance and pick them with MG.

Second happened to so long ago I was in squad which was teamplay style. I rushed to church and told SQL that I'm up here giving cover at the flag so other's can capture it (the map where british have lofs of tanks at beginnin while Germans only have Stug but get Pz4 and Tiger later). Our SQL got mad at me as I wasn't capturing the flag so after he yelled at me I was like fuck this and rushed to flag and capped it myself while killing 4 germans with captured Mp40. It was just like from American ww2 movie where one guy kills everybody and wins battle though I usually play as German

On Liebsey, I believe I was in Rawhide's squad, our section and a couple others came up on the trenches of East AT. After a charge that resulted in most of us dying, we respawned and threw smoke.  A Sherman advanced point, deuling it out with the PaK as we went charging.  With the help of the smoke, the PaK was taken out, and the majority of the infantry made it into the trench.  I bayoneted the mg gunner, and the others took out the other Germans in hand-to-hand.  It was awesome, closest I've felt to being in a real battle in FH ever.  And this is public!

That was our squad! I was there too.  ;D

Today I was playing Bocage with my new clanmates. I was at the top flag ambushing armour. I didn't take anything out, but infantry did flood the town! It was like Saving Private Ryan only with superior allied numbers. There's an odly shaped fence on the northside of the road leading through the town and I decided to sneakily take a shot at the advancing British infantry. Unaware of my position, with four of them approaching, one by one I took them out and I expected to get killed after my first hit, I guess the fence served as excellent camo, especially considering they were right in front of me.

Later that match.. behind my almighy PAK40, took out a Sherman. Then another M10. Infantry right ahead of me just 10 metres away, luckily they allowed me to switch to HE in time and I whooped both their asses. Another Sherman passes and goes skyhigh, right before I get naded off of my seat.

Another time at Mount Olympus, me in my Panzer III - what a beauty - I decided to edge on the map and set up yet another solo ambush. I came right in time, whilst thrusting towards the western flag just behind the hill, turned my turret left and saw one of them puney Mark VI's. I hit it right in the ass. Right after there was another Mark VI on the road, one shot one kill. I turned my turret further around to the back to be sure, and another prey, a Mark VI was turning his turret still wondering where that fireworks came from, and unfortunately he didn't live to tell. A few minutes after I knew they would come looking for me so I positioned my Panzer III further behind the hill in a large hole and indeed, one Mark VI toasted. I decided to take up position on top of the hill for approaching tanks, and after a few minutes of waiting another heap of scrap metal was instantly produced a few hundred metres in front of me. Took out five Mark VI's in less than 15 minutes :D

And then there are those beautiful moments of joy on Operation Luttich. Ambushing those unsuspecting Sherman's with my Schreck is just so pleasing. The last thing they hear is the one second sizzling sound before they are brought back to their spawn screen. The Schreck is so powerful in many ways, excellent range, superb firepower, and it just looks damn sexy. As infantry you can hide and ambush armour in complete silence. Instead of listening to a roaring engine I listen to the birds whistling and take up on the smell of freshly blown armour.

Best moment today from my hslan session...

- Waiting in Tilly for the Allies to pop in with my Panzerfaust. Reminded me very much of Saving Private Ryan. We where down to a total of four men in the beginning of the round when the Allies started pounding the flag.

We fought back but lost the flag, after our counter-attack the flag was back in our hands until that bloody Firefly came and started dealing out HE shells.

EDIT: And ye, I love Lebisey for many things. But I'm getting to wonder if not the biggest reason is the British main-base. Why? Two fixed mortars and a pick-up mortar kit as well!

Having two friends next to you and a ammo truck right beside you is awesome.

We shelled some spots on Lebisey so hard the Germans fell back to their main-base and started defending it, the crossroad in D6 was one big crater thanks to our mortar sessions.

To all you who gave us GOOD spots, thank you. To you who spotted that same spot (the road with a bump in it which as well was out of reach for our mortars) please send me an PM with your BF2-nick and password, I will give you a special medal.

2nd knifing 6-8+ guys in a row
3rd being fired upon and surviving only to end up in an enemy massacre (on foot or in tank)
4th this only happened once.Killed an enemy pilot in his plane with mah rifle.That made me so much lol and even more proud.

there are also other things ... like being usefull to my team.

First time playing Cobra.  Playing as a scout I carefully made my way between the watermill, train station and city flags spotting for artillery and marking enemy tanks for the P51s.  I got over 20 targeting assists and watched 3-4 enemy tanks get bombed after marking them.  When friendly forces would start moving to take a flag I had spotted I would let the arty operator know and they would switch to smoke for cover.  I only got about 10 kills because I would hold my fire more often than not, but I stayed alive for more than 20 minutes.  Not very glorious but it is always fun to coordinate everything with teammates like this.

Just before I quit I checked my squad and we had about 300 points with 5 players having a lot and 6th only 10 or so (joined at the end)^^ anyways it felt good


PS: Someone give Piats uberNerf I really hate 'em they are just too powerful -.- I'm sure that in RL they could bounce from armor (bad hit) or just don't do any damage but now it's like one hit and ur dead (in pz4)

Yesterday on Villers i decided to take the Sherman V expecting to be owned by a Pz4 or something.
Instead I destroyed four Pz4s and a Tiger.
I destroyed the first two Pz4s by camping next to the farm house so i has hidden from the Tiger.Then I thought
Point 213 was british so I charged there and saw Panzerfaust minions heading my way when I was there. I raped them with my MG
Then I saw a Tiger and a Pz4. Shot the Pz4 first and then flanked Tiggah and killed him.
Then I saw two Pz4 heading my way and they were very far from me. I prepared an ambush position in the hedge. I destroyed one Pz4 but the other swung his turrent and killed me:(

101st Airborne Server
Late last night, early AM 2/16-2/17/2010
-There were to rounds on Villers-Bocage... First round I took several hits trying to break past the enemy line (German) of tanks who had surrounded our main base spawn.  Once I smoked my way out to the south, I cut through mid-map to the East, and took out about 7 tanks before dying - which cleared way for my team to take the first few bases.  I was able to cross the river to the north before simultaneously dying while killing a tiger tank.
-During the 2nd round, the allied team didn't get cornered, and I had the top kill/death ratio and took out about 16 tanks plus various infantry. 
**Most kills on the East side of the river... just sit and wait, and they come to you.

Yes i had this once aswel
Instead of the usual allied chaos, we had EVERYONE in squads. i opend up a squad "Artillery", and after 3 mins, everyone in my squad was on 105MM guns, and the rest spotting. We layed down imense artillery fire, and when other squads moved in to cap, we switch to Smoke or layed HE shells further up. Truly great teamwork that round between ground forces, Artillery and air support.

We even took out a Panther with artillery. It was parked at that church, spawnraping that flag. We all started firing at it, and i landed a hit on the panther, damaging it, with another guy landing a second hit and killing it.

Sniping and spotting on Villers-Bocage. Had a kill-to-death ratio of 11-1 when I died. Then I took a Firefly and managed to flank and kill a Tiger at, I dunno, 500 meters? Maybe 200 or 300 at MAX. What's the max drawdistance on Bocage? Then a damn pillock in another firefly killed me and didn't apologize, the stupid, blind, ignorant fuck.

Then on Totalize: I grabbed a StuG, blew up two churchills, three shermans and four cromwells.

Also I don't understand why people seem to be ignorant towards Marders?
"I take zhe SchtuG becauz it'z gott better armah!" It doesn't matter if it has better armor, it has the same gun as Marder and if used correctly, you always get the first shot, decimating the target.

At purple Heart Lane I gave covering fire so that the americans could cap FJR 6. I can't remember how many shots I fired at a single guy who was lying down on the ground. Then suddenly he stood up and started running away from me diagonally towards the edge of draw distance. I aimed with my instinct and I killed him just as he had disappeared to the other side of draw distance.

yeah you did very well, I could hear the low distinct voice of the springfield and often saw your name flashing by in the kill-list :). Nice spot just after the bridge, too.

PIAT-ing a German halftrack on Falaise, then smacking a German with my entrenching tool, nicking his MP40 and killing four more in quick succession. I'm not sure they knew what hit them...

Two days ago in my panzer in Siege of Tobruk i attacked the right allied flag. First i took out one AT gun, then i drove down the brink from the hill, when a truck passes me, just to get killed by an AT grenade meant for me, before i take out the next. After killing 2 allied tanks im by the flag and the squad start to spawn at me. The resistance was very hard, as far as i remember were the only squad managing anything. We captured 3 flags and killed tons of infantry and one more tank before i unfortunately died. I just felt the need to brag alittle   8)

Operation Totalize

I drove a panther over the north river bed and took position in the cornfield next to the main road. The first kill was a sherman that was driving on the road towards the crossing and had no idea that there was a panther to the right of him, one shot one kill. Again, a few minutes later two shermans are driving carelessly, one shot and the shell goes true the firts sherman and also takes out the second one! I never thought that was possible but I like it  ;D Got some more kills but eventually got killed by Typhoon...gets me everytime.

b.t.w. I only made this account to brag  ;)

In Viller Bocage map of FH Night Server. I was in a Squad 5 of 6 people on British Squad. We are perfectly armed squad, 1 PIAT AT, 1 Engineer,1 Bren Mk I/II LMG,1 Sten MK and 2 Rifleman. We are East of Point 213 just behind the building  besides the road. We are there to defend the area. An APC half-track full of german infantry suddenly came out of north. We were well hidden but our AT man didn't take any chances, he aimed the PIAT and fired. The round instantly killed the driver, the APC was smoking wildly. As the APC stopped, the enemy infantry came out one by one and we just annihilated them as they try to run for cover.

It was like Saving Private Ryan Style ( part when they met Prv.Ryan in the grassland)

Ah sorry, i did not notice, but it seems like you linked it here anyway.

I think it was that mobile spawn point APC, the reasons why so many infantry came out of it. We just murdered them. I didn't got screen shot, it was too intense. Funny how they where so confused trying hard to reach the wall for cover.

There was this time in FH1, a while ago and my bro. and I were fooling around on a map (forgot which one) but it was a Jap map, and we were exploring the weapons and such....well, my brother had the suidice pack (or whatever the name is) and he thought it operated like the C4 in BF2, so he threw done the mines, jumped behind a log, pulled out the suicide pack and detonated it as I walked past the mines. To his suprise it was him that blew up instead of me when he detonated it. He has no idea how he died at first and was like wtf? It was hilarious at the time.  ;D

Falaise pocket could be, although you rarely see the StG44 on it because that only spawns way back in the mainbase and most infantry oriented players spawn at the forward points.

I just had the best round I have ever had on Lüttich.

Axis attacked Farm first and after they capped it they came for Mortain. My squad became smaller and smaller until I was only left with Dukat and we defended Mortain again and again from incoming axis forces. From time to time axis managed to cap a flag and when they had something like 260 tickets left we came to a middle part of the game where they had one flag in Mortain while we held the other.

Farm flag was recapped by other US forces and a small fight went on over Abbaye Blanche, but we were in Mortain at the time. Around 100 tickets left for axis when we managed to kick them out of town, and my M5 did some epic killing (Puma, Stug, Panzer IV H). I had a few other rounds in other vehicles, and my M8 proved to be deadly for some other Pumas and Panzer IV Hs.

The best part however, was when I left the US base in an M10, and while I almost reached Mortain in the SW corner, I bumped against the hedgerows and my M10 flipped on its side. I wanted to flip it back again so I started to drive. At the crossroads just SW of Mortain, a Panther bumped into me. He was very surprised. So surprised even, that he stopped in its tracks and typed in chat what he just saw. In the meantime I had managed to flip back my M10, turn it and shoot the Panther. I don't have screenshots of the side-driving, but here is the amazed Panther driver and his story:
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8403/screen013bx.th.jpg) (http://img10.imageshack.us/i/screen013bx.jpg/)

This kind of stuff makes Fh2 so much fun to play!!

After axis was driven out of Mortain, they never managed to recap any flag and the round ended in an American victory of 166-0, with me on top of the list, and Dukat second. Because we were only two, we weren't best squad, but we came very close at that too ;)

Anctoville... Bots.... Took the church singlehanded when my squad was mowed down by those rambo-wielding mg42 gunners... y'know, the ones that fire from the hip?

So I take the church thinking all is swell with an mp40 assault kit I stole from the Germans as I entered. Saw Gerry enter from the side door, took a hit, saw red, fired back, run out of ammo, and lay flat take the little cover the upturned pew would give me...

Saw like 3 or 4 others coming in from the main door, including 2 mg gunners... the fire-from-the-hip variety

So I decide, if we can't get this church, they wont.. I toss a nade and the little cover I had somehow protected me, withe nade killing everyone of them. I quickly take a band-aid and reload just in time to see the rest of my army coming in, firing at other Gerries outside....

Eint the server, but it felt tres kul

I had a laugh yesterday when Villers Bocage was being played. I was the only guy left when crossroads was lost again after an almost succesful counter-attack. There was a jeep parked in the yard of the house, under the barn.. thing. I knew there was a cromwell quite close, and thought maybe I could get away with the jeep. So I took it and drove through a few hedgerows when I drove right in front of a Firefly and it smacked me in the side. The jeep turned into the same direction the tank was going, so I slammed the throttle. The cannon shot missed me, and at that point I thought I could survive. The machine gun rounds didn't miss however..

Last sunday, it was on Totalize. We faced a massive charge of allied tanks on artillery battery. First came two shermans, then two cromwell and finally one churchill. Well, basicly, I blew them all with a Pz-faust I was reloading under their nose, climbing into the halftrack. ;D

It lasted no more than 2 minutes, but I got shot by the infantry before I could finish the churchill ...

I was on HSlan a little while ago and Mersa Matruh came up so i started heading to cap flags. On my way there, i narrowly avoided a tank and an infantry man i got to the flag, i capped it so i start heading for the next one when i hear AA close by. The guy manning it was pre occupied and i got him. i moved to the next flag, i capped it, and another one soon after that. i heard another AA gun trying to shoot down the Stuka. I snuk(spelling terrible) up to the side of the guy and shot him, i go to cap another flag which i do. long story short, my final score was 44 points, 1 death. the death was just a stroke of bad luck. me and this other guy were hiding by the doorway of a house capping a flag and rifle toting brit entered the door facing my dirrection and shot me, then he was shoot by the other guy i was with. All in All, this was the best round ive ever been in.

The German team also had arty witch had almost the same score the whole round.

Then suddenly I got a target on him in the gun in there main,
He also didn't die that round, I thought fuck the baserape, and I took 1 well aimed shot, and managed to kill him from the other side of the map. was Awesome!

My most epic moment? Operation Blacknight, FH 0.7. I was brit, the Germans held all the flags and all there tanks where right across the river shooting everything that moved. We could not get our bomber up or anything  even near the river. So i grabbed a piat and sneaked myself across the river. I crawled into a bush and saw 3 tanks. I fired my first shot and hit a stug straight in the ass killing it. The next tanks was a bit further away but still in reach so i made a nice aimed shot at it killing it. The problem was the third tank, is was very far away from me to shoot it with the piat, so i aimed up, without aiming, in a 45° angle and hoped for the best, i shot my shell, i went up and then did a slow straigt decent (was an odd thing with the piat, it had a maximum distance and would not go a milimeter further) to hit the tank right on the Engine bay and killing it. Was epic. It did not change the game for us tough, we still did not get across the river but at least i did all i could do.

Not so epic, but the luckiest moment of any soldier's life is when you request a pick up 'cause a guy is driving a jeep nearby and he didn't stop.
You may think : " oh no..damn*d b*sterd..."
and then you see a stuka dropping a bomb on the jeep which exploded.

Yesterday I was playing PHL on hslan (Battlerecorder yeey!) and we were having some heavy gunfights south of the FJ position. I managed to kill one of the americans and got the BAR. I started moving north because the yanks capped the FJ position and I was killing every damn american while going to the flag and there was sooo many of them  ;D I killed the hslan squad twice  8) and I was just destroying them. Sometimes I didn't even have the time to aim so I was hipfiring and the death toll in the end was about 10-15 yanks  :)
I was killed while reloading by the FJ flag which I was capping  :'(

Awesome round on Seige of Tobruk earlier today on a CO-OP server with some teamwork/clan guys.

I was giving continual Arty support and when not doing that i was strafing and bombing spotted targets in the stuka, seconds after the were requested. Didn't miss a single target. Got about 90 kills with 3 deaths that round.

Highlight was when I left the Arty piece and a message apeared on the side:

"Where has our arty support gone?"

The I decended into a vertical dive in a Stuka and took out two matildas that were wreaking havoc upon the squad.

Then some one simply posted

"There it is"

"Flying arty"

"Awesome"

"Niccee"

"Spot on!"

I was playing Mount Olympus earlier today and was at the southernmost capture-able controlpoint. By a low wall to the south, I noticed a prone, tan figure. As I was looking through a window, I couldn't set up my MG34 and had only my Luger to fire with. We began to exchange gunfire. I still can't tell what weapon he was using, but he never hit me. I fired six rounds, two of them being nonlethal and the third one doing the trick. He must've been 100m away. :)

I was testing out my new joystick in singleplayer today and killed a BF by running straight into it while trying to dodge. ;D
I also ran into a friendly plane because we took off at the same time. I was really unlucky both times. :-\

Totalize, against bots... And the hil right across the river in a typhoon, not the one with the nebelwerfer... We had lost the base shortly and although I had killed the one who got me defending it, I had heard trucks coming in from the outside approach and climbing the hill to make the white flag their own, which was going to start a bleed...

I quickly took a Typhoon, bent on desperately, but probably fruitlessly strafing the place... So I see a hanomag and a blitz on the hill climbing in to the cap area. I had just enough time to fire a single burst at them before I was over the target - issue was they were too far from each other to go off from one hit, so I decide quickly, aim rough and fire and what do I see but my rockets pass their point of intersection, crisscross each other and take both of them out!! I glide right over that inferno, gleeming to myself :-D

Today, after years of trying, I finally learned the art of cupola-shooting with the Boys. Defending the northernmost hangar in Sidi Rezegh on Allied side, I sniped two Pz3's (two that were manned; also one unmanned, but that does not count; failed attempts on several others) this way. The first was by accident; I fired the rifle out of frustration since I thought he would soon spot me and spray some MG lovin' at my direction. Surprise, the hit indicator flashed. Another shot. Boom. Then I simply had to try it again, and again, until the hangar was finally overrun. Not so easy on long range, but if the Panzer is not too far away and is properly distracted, it's easier than I have ever thought possible (though still requires plenty of concentration and skill, not to mention sheer luck).

Bump, di-di bump, di-di bump.

Location: Villers Bocage, on the road from crossroad to Point 213.

Ran from the farm flag towards the middle bridge, swam across the river about halfway there. Continued NE towards the point. Saw a Tiger tank on the field west of  213, north of my position. There an empty PAK 40 was sitting facing south. I manned it, quickly swung it northwards and one-shotted the Tiger to the side.
Then with another quick swing turned it towards the church. The 88 was turning towards me. My finger got a cramp as it was constantly clicking on the mouse to fire before the 88 did. Success! 88 down.
About 15 meters high there was a ledge on the ruined church, and on the ledge were two germans. As soon as the 88 was toast, I loaded HE and blasted them. The other PAK 40 facing SW was firing, but not visible from my position. The rock beside it was visible though, and with a HE round the gun was out of action, along with another infantryman, probably an ammo carrier.
Turned the gun back towards the church, and another german ran behind a stone fence towards a position where he lied down to shoot me. A HE round to the rock next to him took him out. The MG42 on the northern wall of the church fired towards other british soldiers crossing the field as the Tiger that posed a threat to them was taken out by me. Another HE round off and the MG42 along with another infantryman, probably a spotter for artillery, was toast.
Then my luck ran out, since a german machine gunner probably flanked me and used his buzzsaw to dispose me.

Unfortunately there are no pictures of the event. Epic PAK 40 is epic.  ;D

Two days ago -I forget what the server was- the map playing was Pointe Du Hoc. The round had just started, I was on the American team and spawned at the farm. I left the base and stood on the rim of a crater facing the German main, soon a Hanomag came bouncing over the craters. I decided to try to shoot the driver but i knew i wouldnt because how much the halftrack was bouncing around. So I aimed my best, pulled the trigger, and got the driver right though the slit. 
its not much but i concider it a small victory

Playing online. Wasnt squad leader and frankly had a sub-standard leader. On mersa matru. Just capped allied mainbase as germans.

We could hear an incoming crusader and noted there'd likely be infantry in tow

Wanted us to mine the area and get AT Rifles or fix the 25pdr.

SL said the stuka overhead would get the tank. Pilot wasnt in my team, mark.

Swore under my breath and while the rest of my squad stood around cluelessly, i got on the vikers and started to engage the infantry near that spawn shed near the dock, forcing them to abondon the beach road and move into that built-up area to the side.

A sniper finally got me and I had to respawn. Appeared in that built-up area with the at rifle then i realised i was where the infantry had fled to.

I quickly made my way towards the gap in the alluminium fence and run into 2 brits, prone and taking shots through the gap @ my squad, who by now were being pummeled by the tank and trying desperately to use smoke to hide.

I pulled out my pistol and fired from the hip, taking out one shooter, the other turned to me, fired and missed. I darted behind a house and came around from his other side and finished him off.
The rookie was still facing where I was when I first engaged them. An easy kill.

I dashed through the gap and dropped a gabeltladung on the tank, which, along with infantry was so focused on killing the remnants of my squad and capping the flag, they didnt see me.

The tank blew up, instantly getting their attention.

Making my way through thinly concealing smoke and dodging bullets, I regrouped with the main army at the beach base and waited for the rest of my squad to respawn.

We had lost the british main, but I had taking half the attack force by myself.

Actually you would only need to think for a second "What is the enemy doing and where could they be?".
When you see an enemy that is better equipped then you are, flank him or outmaneuver him. Always try to flank. 3 Fs.  Fire,flank,finish off.

If you can't engage based on troop quantity, flank and leave them be. It's gonna be easier for ya when you come to a checkpoint.

About 5 days ago in Hslan, Operation Cobra, I'm on german side and notice we dont have anyone in the air..
Think to myself, "Why the heck not, I just plugged this X52 in anyway just for this game".
After few minutes and first few kills, I notice the capabilities of the aircraft and start seriously racking up kills with it, keeping the air clear for teammates most of the time, getting shot down twice. ( /ot I have my sense of pride though, I don't shoot anyone to the airfield. I want a fair dogfight in the air.. I get sad when i see spawn raping planes ot/)

That thing is also pretty deadly against the open-top TD's.. The driver is so easy to get rid of with the 20mms'.

Anyhow, as the round progresses, the american side pilots become even more desperate to take me down. At one point they had both 51's and 47 on me at the same time yet I manage to outmaneuver and deal killing blows in less then 2 seconds when i get my sights on a target and pull away.

One nice maneuver i did on the last 51 that was chasing me between the Windmill/US Main, Pulled a loop and hammerhead maneuver after that. He had no idea i pulled up there and finished him off pretty easily.  That's the moment I just felt great to pull off such maneuver...

Common maneuvers you do everyday in IL-2 tend to be very effective in this game.

Finished round with 52/2

Yesterday I had a good day. I always play on a 762 server with the most players.

At the beginning of Lutich map I race forward with a 251, but after a while I encounter a sherman so I bail out and run 50 meters. A minute later a US soldier takes the 251 and drives away. I took aim with my K98 and killed the driver with one shot.
After that I took the 251/11 at the german base and started shooting salvo`s at Mortain. Killing 4 US soldiers, for the first time making kills with this halftrack!
A few minutes later i`m clearing the hedgerows around mortain and I see a M10 passing by. I shot a few salvo`s from my MP40 at the turtet and I think nothing of it. Then 15 seconds later I get a kill message and I look at the M10 and its not moving, killed the driver!

A few maps later on Cobra. I`m in a Panther driving along and taking out shermans at long range. Many US airplanes in the sky and one has spotted me. He dives towards me but his approach is behind trees and my MG has to reload. The second the plane came behind from the trees I shot a PzGr40 shell at the plane and it blows up!

Nothing more satisficing then taking out airplanes with armor because I hate it getting killed by a Typhoon or Cobra!

Best game I had recently was last month. I was the had of a squad and we defendee the east frontline of Lebisey against EVERYTHING. The trick was this: we defend @ all cost

The squad listened to me and did as i asked

We had shooters and spotters in the hedgerow and in the grass.

We kept the AT gun firing no matter what

We kept out of sight, getting tommy-boy unaware

If we faced overwhelming force, i stayed back and alive, getting situational awareness and commanding, using smoke to conceal retreats, counterattacks and repair on the AT gun.

We mined the eastmost pass to prevemt flank attacks and repeated tactics, replenished mines etc so that the line held

Soon the enemy had a bulge to deal wit since we were the only frontline base holding. We had no less than 6 tank kills, light vehicles and scores of enemy infntry KIA, including scouts... Then the barrage started

I quipped to my squad that the enemy was really hurtin', the intense arty being confirmation that we had become priority

We had to weather barrage after barrage, holding out against more organised forces made up, for the first time of infantry with tank and arty support

After another 3 waves had been smashed against our sliver of steel, we had to fall back to the static opel blitz behind the hedgrow, by now facing 3 tanks, flankin infantry, arty that was called down on us as soon as we came out of the brush and a now British spawn base

Finally, telling men to spawn as AT infantry, engineers and scouts, we used diversionary smoke to take out2 of their tanks, the 3rd having moved off and agressively devastating their infantsy and recapping the flag

But with rear lines collapsing, and absolutely no support, an even greater barrage, more tanks and infantry coming from 3 sides, we finally gave up the base

But the Englanders had paid for that outpost dearly and just as the round ended, some other squads from our side had recapped the flag :-)

Roughly 20 minutes ago on Cobra as the germans on WOLF, the germans flags had all be capped and our main was being base raped. I immedietly decided to deal with the heathens in planes and grabbed an MG42. I shot down 1 p47 before it could finish its strafe, and then turned and shot down a P-47 that was strafing our Storch as it took off. The torch exploded, but I kill the P-47 and it exploded in mid air. The 3rd plane decided immedietly that I wasn't something to mess with and possibly related to chuck norris, proceeded to fly away.Happening all within 20 seconds. I kept all the american planes away for the rest of the round.

Just now on hslan, two things:

The first was a kill with all three weapons in the farmer kit.

The second was when I rounded a corner just as a brit did as well on Mersa.  He has a webley, and I a P38.  We empty, and go for our backups.  A kerfuffle ensues, until eventually I land a hit with my spade.  I then get accused of using my leet tester skills to cheat (he has hit detection bugs).

Yesterday on Luttich. My friend (Kjata30) and I decided to be the Stuka on Foot team :P He drove and I manned the bombs. We must have gotten around 7 kills with it in one life (and a few TK's)! Its by far the most damage Iv ever seen anyone do with that vehicle... every successful volley was met with laughter and disbelief that we actually hit something. Needless to say we were pretty pumped afterward :P

Today on Totalize.  Spawned on Flak Battery as Canadian. Only flag we had.  I was on the North side of the windmill with my trusty Piat.  Heard a Jerry tank rumbling down the road.  Ran toward the top of the hill.  Barely saw the tank before I started to receive MG fire.  Screen was shaking and blurry.  I quickly tried to estimate where the tank was going and about 100m.  Fired one time and was shot.  BOOM.  Got the P4 on the roof.  Not bad for my first life on the map.  Went 1-12 for the rest of the match :)

Something anything but awesome for a change :

I've just finished my worst round ever on Cobra. The team looses and I'm fireteam leader. Everything I've tried went completely wrong : I tried to take watermill with a sherman and failed, then I tried to go on foot via an APC parked near and failed even more. Then I spawn in the middle of the main base with six tanks around, and couldn't manage to get into a single one because each time someone came in rrrright before me. So, I drove several APCs instead, half way across the map to get blown up by a single shot, or fall literally face to face with an ennemy tank. After that, I've tried to shoot a stug, that was raping my team on the only flag we had, twice with a bazooka : each time I took my best aim and missed. So I made a long walk to get closer and behind it, aimed with extreme care, heard the sound of the bazooka shooting, and got shot at the same moment by some gerry that was passing by. Of course, nothing went off. I finally lost 2 or 3 rifle fights, got cremated by a flamethrower, and when I was telling my squad members I couldn't possibly take anything more, BF2 crashed. :|

Final K/D ratio : 0/11

Too bad it wasn't on hslan, or I could have made a parody of Dazlayer's video. ;)

Epic moment on Mareth today.

We as brits had capped Mareth and we were moving towards Gabes. 9. Pz.-Div. had taken Tiger and they parked it on top of hill right outside gabes. We had no AT weaponry or if we had, they were failing badly. Instead we had masses of infantry hiding in bomb holes and behind fences. Tiger didn't have guts to move on us, so it stayed on top of that hill giving fire support for infinite masses of 9. Pz.-Div. infantry, who were spawning to tiger.

Battle lasted surprisingly long without Tiger being destroyed or moving trough us. It was very enjoyable fight, trying to shoot infantry hopping on Tiger and dodging tigers machineguns. I really liked it  8)

You liked that huh. Let me tell you the other side of the story. We were like go Benz go there is infantry all around us, but I think he must have dropped the key to the Tiger somewhere, because we weren't moving an inch. It all ended with a big explosion.

I had feeling that battle wasn't so glorius from other side   ;D I don't even remember what killed you eventually, but many times some AT inf sneaked near you and tossed some stickies on you. Too bad they do minimal (if at all?) damage, but were great for killing you guys jumping out.

It was the sneaky DLF squad that brought the tiger down, [DLFt] Robbie to be precise. He flanked it from the west and killed the people repairing it and placed 2 mines. The second mine exploded and took his heroic ass with it but only damaging the tiger. A few seconds later the tiger exploded from his first mine.

Just finished a round on Alam Halfa in the still-continuing FHGN#9. ;) At the beginning, I had a magic streak: in the Pz3J I commandeered, I advanced along the left flank, with a lucky shot took down the closest 6 pdr (whose shot luckily bounced off my front armour), advanced between minefields killing AT infantry, took down the 2 pdr and Bofors, then drove to the flag zone (7th Motor Brigade) shooting infantry all the time, and capped the flag alone in my little tank. Proceeded to spawncamp the second flag, but was killed by a roving Stuart on the way. Though, it was still nice to be a moment at the top of the score list with 17:1 kill ratio and a sense of real achievement.

It was a great round yesterday on Alam Halfa at FHGN.
British decided to hold the last three flags at all costs. With the crusader tanks dug in at the flags, 6 pounders al repaired and the Grant's roaming around we awaited their assault.

And assault it was. Stuka's making bombing dives, Arty shelling and tanks heading for the outer west and east flags. It was amazing to see and one of those moment that makes you realise the whole Battlefield concept
can never be matched with games like Medal of Honor, CoD: MW and even Bad Company Two.
It's so intense to see a player controlled plane dropping his bombs and just missing you by inches, while you are desperately waiting for the shaking to stop before firing at the incoming tanks.

And people say they don't like ALam Halfa  ::)

Wait just remembered even better , kubelwagon was speeding by with 4 men in it. I got up from prone like 10 feet away and fired 2 shotgun shells from drilling , first killed the front passanger and the second shot killed both back passangers. I LOL'd so hard I had never killed 2 with 1 shot before.  ;D ;D ;D




And a Piat kill on a half track that was really far away. I knew he was further than 130 so I pretended there was 2 more view slots and aimed up to compensate and it somehow got him  :o

Yesterday there was a great round on PHL on hslan. Some guy who was in my squad left and then I became SL. I invited Pureperversions, Horn-e_pl and Gezoes. After them two other guys joined the squad, A.Amtmann and Creedus. Pretty soon after roundstart the US (our side) capped the first flag, but we were approaching third flag by a flanking route. While we kept trying getting closer, each time gaining some terrain, the second flag got capped and we made the last few steps to the third flag and greyed it. Unfortunately everyone on the flag got killed and it turned axis again. This went on for some time, we greyed, or nother squad greyed, and then axis recapped.

After the 3rd or 4th time US succeeded in capping. I told my squad that we would go or Ingouf Farm. Using a lot of smoke in the fields and the cover of ome ditches we got closer to the farm. I usually moved after two of my squadmembers had done so before me to be sure the route was safe, when I got too eager I got killed instantly. Again with a lot of smoke we managed to get into farm, which was defended lightly to my surprise. It seemed like most defenses were south of farm, or defending FJ position. We capped farm and defended it. While squads 1 and 2 attacked FJ position, squad 4 was flanking a long road towards Orchard and we (squad 5) stayed put in farm. We got attacked twice with big numbers of enemies and both times they succeeded in greying the flag, but they never got it back. In the meantime there were several single enemy soldiers who were trying to fight us back without any success.

Squads 1 and 2 capped FJ position and immediately squad 4 was greying Orchard. When it turned US, we moved forward to Crossroads, just to cap it a short while after. Now a grim fight developed in Orchard, and the flag changed hands 4 or 5 times. Crossroads was greyed once and recapped once too, but it turned US again after we pushed the Germans back into Orchard. While the battle raged over Ochard, we were occupied by a squad in the north which kept sending people in to Crossroads. It took us a while to locate the SL but then we eliminated the squad. By this time the tickets had run out on the Germans and the US won the round with something like 260-0.

Our squad turned out to be best squad with 234 points, some 110 more than the second best one. I loved it how the teamplay turned out and how it became very profitable for us, almost outcaping the enemy. Sometimes there are these moments on public servers that make you think "This is how FH2 was meant to be played". Yesterday's round on PHL was such a moment.

Fh1 Breakthrough,

I spam in the brit main hoping for a tank, but i found only a Greyhound...

I take it and start to drive to the nearest capturable flag, when i found a Stug that was route to spawnrape the brit main, but he don't saw me, so I start to follow the stug shuting on is back (and just a shot or two up five shot give damege to him)

the stug start to turn around hoping to see what is hitting him, but the stug is slow and the Greyhound is so fast so i star to turn araound him so that he didn't see me...

it was so funny that i start to sing the theme of the benny hill show!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpc5_3B5xdk

that was going on for something like 5 minutes...

when the stug was on fire he go out from the stug just to see me shuting him with the main gun!!

he wasn't so happy...

Yes, that was a great PHL. Good job sir! When we capped the 88 at the third bridge, I scavenged a BAR and went berserk  ;D I just emptied three clips into the direct vicinity and the bridge. Hit no-one ofcourse but it must have looked inspiring none the less for the vanguard coming up 8)

Teamwork, silence/smoke/covering fire when needed, I think we went on to Tobruk (laying waste on the main base ruin from the harbor) and Ramelle too? Brutal fighting there for the Right Flank flag wich gave us the win that round. Destroyed a Tiger too, thinking it would never blow up from my one bazooka round. Got it near its tracks and there it went. Although I didn't shoot my 9mm at it, I had the same look on my face as Tom Hanks ;)

A few months back on the ol' 101st server, I recall a rather simple form of attack, spawn off of AFK SL hiding in bushed near our capped main. I spawned with the Bren, hid in the single most obvious places, and racked up a total of 70+ kills, never again have I done so well, infact, that was the only time I did well >>

i remeber me to a round where i was driving a Panther to the side of the map (Operation totalize)
and if i crossed the ridge at the left, a Achilles was shooting at me (he stand in a ditch and was waiting for enemys) the shot bounct off so i start firing back , first shot missed -the achilles fires another shell , again it bounced off, so the next shot of me was a direct hit, but it did not killed but it damaged him hard so he fires again, that shell goes over my head into the sky.

now i was shooting again and destroy the achilles then i drive forward and destroyed an cromwell tank who was driving on the streetthen i
crossed the river and move to the direction of the windmill
there is saw a row of (3) sherman tanks standing side by side (they seems to shooting at the tanks at the other side of the river) so i shoot the next to me then then middle one then the last one (the whole time tankers doesnt noticed me)

the i drive forwerd to the windmill there is was shooting a cromwell tank
(the other tanks of my team was camping at the other side of the River  ::))

then i drive to the factory, there was no enemy , so i drove back to my lines to wait for other allied tanks but then
one of my own Teammembers shoot me (a stupid tiger driver >:( >:( >:( >:()

so i destroyed 6 tanks in a row and then i was killed by my own tiger

the best run i ever had ;D

here is the wa taht i drove withe the panther (the yellow points are the positions of the enemy tanks
<sry for the small picture i found no bigger one>)

Playing Totalize as the Canadians.  I was in the Achilles and our team had taken the factory, windmill, and the artillery battery flags.  I found a really great spot to stay hidden and pick off the other enemy tanks.  I went 9 kills and 0 deaths that round, all the while taking out 5 tiger tanks.  We ended up taking all flags after that point and holding all of them until the last 2 minutes of the round.

The game started with the Germans at 400 tickets and the Canadians at 500 tickets with a bleed.  The game ended with us winning by 300.

That was my best team play and best performance  (I doubt I will ever be able to take out that many Tigers in one round again).

I found out that I'm actually capable of leading a squad:

Took over the command of Guerilla squad on hslan at around 00.50 local. After sniping those pesky Italo-german defenders of the Tunis harbor i got killed. So then i REALLY took command and lead a succesful assault on the harbor and then started moving towards the cannon position. Sadly the map ended before any other feats of heroism happened.

Next map, however: Lebisey. For a minute I waited for a transport at British main (REFUSING to take the ammo truck). Managed to get a ride on a jeep towards west AT, moved into a position NE of the flag. About one second after the flag was captured by some of my squadmates and other friendlies I get teamkilled by a mortar. -.-

Then I spawned on the west AT, moved between center AT and west AT, leading my squad to flank the Center flag. As soon as it got captured, a quick dash across the road to 3rd company headquarters capping it succesfully. My squad defended against the german counterattack against armor and motorized infantry (with me just spotting panzers and hoping our tanks to notice and dispose of them). We got pushed out of the command post, and with simultaneaus attack they capped center AT,. I then ordered my squad to make a stand at the building between 3rd company and the church (where the schreck spawns). As soon as other friendlies capped the centrer flag, we assaulted the 3rd company again, capping it and holding it until the end of the round.

DAMN IT I THOUGHT I HAD SOME PICTURE EVIDENCE BUT IT DIDN'T take the fooking pics.  :-[

I went on a rampage with the K98 and panzerfaust on thursday.  I had 19 kills with the rifle, and ~5 tank kills and ~3 inf kills with the faust.  I love it when you finally figure out the drop on a weapon.  Then I switched over to an STG rampage - got 5 or 6 kills.  At that point I was disconnected from the server, and rejoined as allies.  Did a bit of grease gunning, and then ended up as the SL.  Didn't do quite so well after that since I'm not that good with the thompson - and I was steadfastly refusing to use the carbine.

Since my score from before the disconnect was saved - 1st place on the server :D

I've read a lot of cool stories in this thread bro's.  It's taken me some time to get through most of them...

But let me tell you FHers out there, this weekend I smacked your bitch stories into the nothingness with a few epic exploits.

1) Mareth Line, - I/we fought like lions to gain control and stay alive amid the pouring flak and enemy planes as me piloting the grasshopper tried time after time to ram the shit out of the Storch.  Whoever those Germans were in that Storch, they deserved medals too, except when the pilot was inbetween typing he pressed E, bailed, and killed himself.


2) Von Airlines above the skies of Crete, not only is it my favourite holiday destination but now I get to fly it in the dubyah-dubyah 2!  i must have ferried (sucessfully!) 30 players to Crete main land, in 4 trips without getting shot down, ... if only it wasn't for that bastard fog hacking checvy parked on the shore line I could have made it 5 sorties.  Made me feel insane, like when insane people are invincible... I even took two guys onto the Suda bay shoreline, they both got shot straight away, but hey! they got their in one piece and thats the main thing.

I love doing this too! Shame I don't see Crete on that much lately.

Hey and don't feel sorry for those guys above Suda Bay, once you leave the plane our company is not responsible for what happens. And that also counts when the pilot gave green light.

One of my favorite things to do in FH1 (haven't played 2 yet) was to use undervalued/underrated or just generally overlooked vehicles and go tanking in them. The Semovente on El Alamein, for instance, or some of the lighter Russian tanks. Huge fan of all the Marders as well. I remember destroying 19 German tanks to 2 losses on a round of Bulge in the T19 (the half track with the howitzer on it).

I was also a huge fan of anti-tank rifles - I felt pretty awesome when the 11 or 12th shot you've fired at the same tank in the last five minutes finally sets it ablaze.

Crete is an awesome place nonetheless. Been there once for two weeks(Platanias), and I instantly wanted to go back. Managed to read through 3 "Battle of Crete" books as well :D

But I shouldn't derail this thread, so carry on.

Well acctually it's Souda Bay, I've been there a few times all the signs are spelled 'Souda'.  :P
In old Greek "ou" is read like "u" so it would be Suda Bay for you, non cultural people :P
I think it's same in modern Greek. Some Help from Bouras? :)

Yeah "u" is pretty much the same as "ou" but to keep the word more close to the Greek and be easier to actually pronounce it right we use "ou" Just like my name: Bouras.Could have been Buras but it loses all awesomeness in the process ;).



Felt awesome playing public a bit last week and actually doing pretty well...

A FW190 was wreaking havoc on Totalize. That is, until I decided to end it and pulled out my trusty No4 rifle. Aimed carefully and just as it dived for another attack with it's cannons pointed at me, I pulled the trigger - nailed in the head. Came straight down to the ground. It was simply awesome.

Last week on Port-en-bessin (public server).
I'm not very fond of this map and it was one of those rounds where the brits just get murdered while trying to take the first two flags. This went on for at least 20 minutes. After dying for the umpteenth time I saw the Sherman sitting useless in main, which is kind of rare for a map with only one tank. I never wait for tanks so on maps like this I simply never tank. So just when I basically had enough of the carnage I saw the empty tank and decided to give it a shot. Since the sherman is kind of crucial on this map I felt a bit self concious and insecure. You know, that "but what if I fuck up? Surely there's someone better suited for this job" mentality. ;)

I drove to my SL near church and stuck with my squad. I asked them to protect me while I cleared the streets in front of the church and after that they had no trouble capping that flag. I stuck around defending church when another team capped the harbour flag. Now the field was open and our squad advanced along the dock. Within 5 minutes we had taken the two other city flags, making sure the KwK gun on the waterfront was taken out, and were on our way to the Nest-flag in the bottom right corner. We advanced carefully up the hill when I remembered the other KwK. It had spotted me, fired but missed. With just my turret sticking over the hill I managed to kill it. After that I started mowing down germans to protect my advancing squad when suddenly I remembered the Marder that spawns when the jerries start losing flags. I turned to the left and there it was, turning towards me. It was a classic SPR sniper-in-churchtower moment: getting too caught up with what you're doing so that you forget about really obvious stuff. The thing is, I wasn't even toast then, I could still just fire and kill him, but I made a stupid mistake: I had been laying down HE shells on the Wiederstandsnest and when I saw the marder I switched to AT shells. While my gun was reloading it gave him time to aim and kill me. If I had just fired an HE shell at the open-topped Marder I would've been fine... A pity, but three capped flags and a heap of dead germans is a nice score for five minutes work. :)

Bit of a long story, but I had never before been the one to actually turn a complete battle around so I had to think of this thread. I don't know if our team won in the end, but it was good example of how one tank can own a level, if used right. I still don't count PEB as one of my favorites, but it has a special place in my heart now.  ;)

 When I shot down a BF-109 on WaW's Battle of Britain port, with my bofors, and it just crashed into me.

Or the HMS Beaver flak I was slaughtering planes with on either Constanta or Tyrrenihian Sea.

OR the times when I've had to bail from my aircraft on ANY map and managed to pistol whip a large portion of the defending force on any outpost.

Only with tanks had I been proud of my moments not shooting at/with aircraft.

EDIT: Just remembered one brilliant time I was just plain infantry and our squad managed to not just get to, but get behind and destroy the wrecking ball of a Flak 88 defending the bridge area-cap on Purple Heart Lane, unfortunately I didn;t actually do it...

In the 128 server I was very surprised that he missed like 5 shots against me in medium-short range (and all his long range snipes missed). His mission is to take me out, an annoying artillery spotter.

I shot him in the end, but he managed to revenge with a knife kill, that I wasn't really expected for (he comes a little bit sooner than I expect, he walks pretty damn fast, and managed to sneak to me pass all my teammates' tanks/APCs)

I understand you used to shoot people easily. That is why I hide behind the cover when you shoot at me, rather than trying to shoot back.

I was surprised that I can't hit you with 5 shots either when you decided to come for me in person (lag both worked for us), though I'm a poorer shooter, luck just comes to me sooner, I know it is you shooting me that I keep saying "Oh Shit I can't afford to miss my next shot" but I just keep missing... a tense moment in my life.

Still, I am so surprised that you managed to get there again in such a short amount of time... provided that there are a lot of "obstacles" such as rolling tanks on the way. After that since my teammates are so dumb (when they can't even protect me/spot you with their all-powerful tanks, actually, they do need me and the guy on arty to take out the 6 pounders) that I give up spotting for arty from such a high position because I know that it would be rather wasteful of fun to try to hunt you down.

I should have tried jumping into a pz III or what and use it as a personal defence ("waste" of assets!), but that isn't fun and require constant attention as mining me is possible. (don't mind the roads/obvious positions though as they won't hit me).

don't have a screenshot(lost them) but I once have two or more rounds with 200+ points (with 1 death, or zero, forgot) in Alam Halfa as Germans back in 2.0 . That is because I shot countless Grants and captured countless flags (without death?! that was some kind of luck). If Niebler (sp?) is still here he was in my squad rampaging with my tank :p And if people could remember, I should be one of the most aggressive tankers back in 2.0  (definitely not the best, but most aggressive that people just get so shocked)

Also have rounds that I'm the best miner that destroyed countless tanks (I think 100+ points are normal if I go mining mode, with good luck I would get 150+), suicidal or not. The good times... The best thing about landmines is that they are not limited.

Now of course I'm all but a shadow of my former self, I can't really tank these days now after switching to this crappy laptop that can't see anything at all, and I don't have the nerves to do such daunting assault tasks anymore. Sometimes you'll still see the guy doing ridiculous things but mostly now I enjoy to be an unimportant cannon fodder (that is, to do the dangerous tasks, like to be the first guy charging, with a bayonet) of a dedicated squad. I still have that tactical sense (to guess where the enemies are), but lacked the skills to perform the kill.

FH2, Gazala.

Me and a friend were doing coordinated airstrikes. I was piloting the Stuka, he was a tanker.

At 150th box I was patrolling and without him having time to ask, I saw 30 Crusader, Stuarts, and Grants clustered together. Dropped my 250kg, got about 4 tanks! Turned around on the East side and found an even bigger more-together cluster, dropped the 4 25 kg and I destroy almost every tank in the cluster! It was only about 13 tanks, immediately destroyed around 7 and then 3 or so were destroyed from the burst of engine damage. It was a glorious bombing rape. It was a shame they were only bots that I killed for i was on Veterans gaming server :/

AEF server at around 6pm WST (8 pm EST Oz time)

Operation Cobra - took out 3 allied fighters with my Panthers main gun, plus one with the turret mg and another when he tried to  kamikaze in to me (did about 80-90% damage - was probably some type of venegance mission) - so 5 allied planes fell victim to my panther in one way or another

Felt awesome as you'd imagine

"everybody knows the Panther was the best german AA weapon of the war" ftw

Also played PDH on the same server and we were outnumbered 8 to 2 or something and still managed to win (as the Germans)

I had a very nice and epic moment on the Hslan relaunch night, yesterday. I was explaining to a teammate how to aim and kill with artillery, while I was on artillery with him. I did so in German, even though it is not my native tongue and it went quite well. In the meantime, I got a spot on both 88s, a very nice spot I might add.

I aimed and with the first shot in the area I hit Tulit, with the second one I hit Epilogus who was on the other 88. Two shots, two 88s down, in the meantime explaining in German how the gun works, I felt epic fo a few seconds.

First kill:

Take off in the Scout plane from Allied airfield on Mareth Line... Captain Psykfallet piloting..Tally Ho!
He's only flying with  a Sticky bomb kit! (tssk tssk). Me? I chose the sensible kit with a parachute!  :D

The good Cap'n Psyk then proceeds to land on the shoreline, right side of the Mareth flag, duh, I wanted to do some skydiving!  :P

Bloody hell, there's only a P3 coming from Gabes...that's seen the sneaky landing, and he's on to us! So we take cover in a small depession in the terrain, but it's not enough to conceal the two  hapless fools heroes!

Thundering towards us roars the angry P3!  Ah well, Webley pistol, check, fairbairn sykes dagger, check, smoke nade, check, bandage, check, unused parachute, check..   ::) spawn again in 15 seconds!

Then I hear the familiar click-esque priming sound of the infamous sticky bomb by the  hapless cornered Psykmeister!
 "Egads! He's going for the attack!" I think to meself.. "Hey, I have a smoke 'nade in this here kit o' mine!"  So I throw out 2 rounds of smokes and what with a confused P3 circling very close and the sound of a Sticky going off somewhere, I hear the deathly groans of a dead Cap'n Psykfallet!  :'(

And now, in all this mayhem, the P3 is  enraged, turrent scanning, spitting out lead into the smoke cloud...but I can hear the flames licking from it's well rodgered rear end!
The Psykmeister didn't die in vain!
Right, all I need to do is find his body and pick up the AT kit, with a sticky bomb I may just get out of this impossible situation!  

I pick up the kit and get the 2nd Sticky ready for priming...shiiiiit he's only used both Sticky's! ::) :o :-\

With the smoke thinning out  the P3 swings back towards yours truly for the kill, he's seen 2 of us, and he knows he's got 1!

"Ahh hell, I may as well go down fighting" I think to myself, so I lay prone, cock the old Boys (with that line, wonders how many perves google will direct to this thread  ???  :D ) ..and aim at the front track....

Fire!...Booooomkerpow! I can't beleive it, the P3 explodes! Laugh??  ;D ;D Sure did!
I then proceeded to head for Mareth and waited for reinforcements before we capped it about 3 minutes later!

A good day at the office! FH2 = Great times.  ;)

Once on a bf1942 map in Italy we as americans where being spawn killed by the germans.
We where on the beach and we where getting pinned with arty, airplane bombs, mgs42s and tank guns.
I saw a  jeep on the beach and i jumped in. I was antitankclass, and while dodging massive amounds of gunfire and explosions, i saw a german tank fireing at our position. I jumped out, killed it with one shot and i drove further into the enemy territory while under fire.

Last night in a LAN session, we played in Sidi Rezegh 64 Coop. Most players are noobs, but they are genuinely interested in WW2, so there is more walking and re-enacting than game session.

When the British bots took over the entire flags, we drove our way from the main base to the mosque, but met some heavy resistance from advancing tanks, eventually we went rambo with Geballte Ladung to knock them off one by one. One of the guys then remarked about how powerful the Matilda and Valentine is. This is one of few games where you can relate to historical accounts in Wikipedia or books.

Well, Matilda is "the Queen of Battlefield" for something. FH2 is awesome, and I'm proud to introduce them to such authentic, historical and educational experience.

Yesterday I was playing Hurtgenwald as American with a friend of mine - me as a spotter and he as mortar gunner. He is new to the mod and with the new shaders it is difficult to divide between friendly unit and enemy especialy on this map. I spotted for him the area behind Wehe and he was doing well. But after we took the flag, there were still enemies around. So our team was approuching and he was looking for enemies around the flag. As I run through is mortar sight, he thought I were an enemy and fired. In the next moment he recognized, that it was me, who was in sight and he shouted over Skype "Ruuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
So I began to run and could only hear the mortar shell closing in with this fearsome whisteling sound. It came down in a few distance behind me and it was a real big boom. But luckily I survived  ;D

There's actually 2 shotguns in FH2. Winchester Model 12 (the one you found) and Drilling M30. Drilling is double barreled shotgun + there's rifle barrel too, so it's 3 barreled gun  :P

Yeah, like I said in game, "luckiest damn StuG ever".

An M10 and I (in an M4A1(76mm)) see you get spotted on the minimap a mile away. You are behind us, looking the other way. We both turn around to find you. I take point and I drive up to hole in a wall overlooking the field in which you were spotted. Nothing... Suddenly, out of no where, this big StuG's ass backs up into the hole in the wall. "Waha, easy kill" I think. I shoot, but the round hits at a funny angle and bounces off. While I reload you start turning. Luckily, I can reload faster than you can turn, so as you're coming around I fire a well-aimed shot straight into your lower front hull - but it does not kill you! Of course, your StuG's shot causes me to explode instantly. Meanwhile, as I look upon the burning wreck that was once my tank, the M10 that was with me comes around the corner of the wall. You're still reloading from the shot that killed me, but the M10 is ready. It aims, shoots, hits. But the round bounces off! Again! The poor M10 tries hastily to back up, but it's no use. It too goes up in flames...

Knifing, stabbing and clubbing along yesterday, the best one was on Gazala, Sidi Muftah flag. We (Ger) had to cap it twice, and again everyone left in a hurry. I did not, something wasn't right. I wasn't about to lose this freaking piece of desert AGAIN. Nothing happened. Was I alone after all? Dead quiet. Tickets were drawing close and running out. Four, five... six minutes.. mmm... we didn't really cap much else except 105th Box now and again.

Was about to move on when the closest 2pounder fired. I could have shot him, but I creeped up. He got two rounds off, but the shovel won! Few minutes he came back in a Bren Carrier. Outside the flag dugout I put some Luger rounds in him. Brits kept coming, but were also still bleeding slowly. We won with 10-0. The knife or bayonet scares people, but nothing says GUHRRR & AAARGHHH like a guy with a shovel coming at you ;D

Don't bring the old stabbing and clubbing system back, I changed my mind!

So I was mortaring the enemy on Hlsan, and I saw a Brit walk up to me while I was still in mah mortar when I didnt have a target. He had his knife out, just walking. Like a bot. Name was Germjack when i saw the kill (hint hint). I got out of my mortar, thought about using my pistol for a second, said heck no for fair sake and knifed him with a rapid 2 cut. Not much, but I just got back to shelling targets. Felt awesome though :D

EDIT: I have another story. So me, I was flying the Piper Cub on Bastogne, doin' some recon and suddenly amost everyone dies. I fly one last time for some guys over Bastogne, and flak almost kills me. So I fly out of range of flak and bail, because I dont wanna risk getting shot down. I look down, and see a Panzer IV! Right below me, looking for someone. So whilst I'm parachuting over a house, I'm going "Crud no no no hes gonna kill me NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" but by the time I land he moves behind the house for some reason. I take advantage, hide since I'm a pilot and cant do a thing, and then sprint to Bizory, where theres no enemies. Find the pitchfork (hint hint) as a better kit than a colt and knife (was looking for better kits before capping anyways) take it, squadmate joins and spawns on me, we both cap Bizory, and we make an amazing comeback. Like someone's elses story, we still lost, but we recaptured Bastogne! Given we were at 47 tickets or so by the time we capped, don't be surprised.

Goodwood is a map I don't particularly like, but since 2.4 I get real nice scores on that map. Here is a moment in which I was an anti tank soldier in Cagny and we were attacked by a Panzer IV and a Panther. I missed two Piat shots on the Panzer IV and the thrid one got him. Then I shot my last round at the Panther. The Panther started looking around and killed one of my teammates. I went back to grab his engineer kit, selected the satchel (which was already deployed) and put it underneath the back of the Panther. Bingo! (you can see my Piat kit on the ground there to):

Different round on Goodwood, a Panther attacked Grentheville, I shot it once in the side and it went burning. The guy drove out of the village and turned at the end of the road, just slow enough for me to hit him for the second time:

Just now I had a nice tankhunter run on Fall of Tobruk. The Panzer IV and the Pazner III were firing at the outskirts flag from afar, letting the infatry go for the cap. I ran from a crater in front of the buildings at the flag, towards the tanks. They didn't notice me and the oncoming enemy infantry didn't either, so I got behind the P4. Threw one sticky nade on him, then went to the P3. Threw another sticky there. Went back to the P4 and threw my last sticky. Both went BOOM.  :)  Unfortunately I got the oncoming PII only down to critical health before an infantry guy shot me.

And on Sidi Rezegh I had one of those FH2 long distance shots, where you think "huh? did I really hit that guy?" He ran behind those hills which are just above my sights.

Yesterday (7-11-2011). Meuse river. Hslan server. German team.

Epic score. Epic round.

After 1 min the US had captured all the flags and soon we were at 200 tickets vs 400 tickets. But then the battle turned around. The City and Farm flags changed hands many times and we inflicted heavy casualties. In the end it was a close call but we took the victory.

Wow, over a month since anyone felt simply awesome! Time for a new story:

Joined hslan when PHL had just started, I was on US and we didn't have any flags yet. After a short while the first and second flag fell to us and we had to fight hard to get the third. Then the toughest part started, the fight for Ingouf Farm and FJR 6 position. I became SL of the squad and after dying ten times in a row, I managed to get a nice position close to FJR 6 position and my squad capped it. We were behind in tickets now, something like 30 or something. We held FJR 6 position until more of the US team was coming in and then we went for Ingouf Farm. Almost capped it, I died, went back to the farm again, capped it and then looked at the score: 16-12 for us (or something like that), but then the Germans started to kill us like flies and it became 8-3. Some German players started typing stuff like "HAHAHAHA" and the killing continued, now it was supertense:
(http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/4369/screen105p.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/855/screen105p.jpg/)

Epic fight for the Nebelwerfer on Eppeldorf last night on hslan, lasting most of the round. Hanging out with the "Jääkärit" fireteam on the US side, we stubbornly held the woods, and if we were all slain, came back asap. Once, the rest of the fireteam was killed, but the enemy missed me (I had been camping the east road, a little bit away), so I managed to sneak back and threw a grenade in the middle of the enemy fireteam. BOOM, four kills.

When I killed uNique-mck24 with a 75 mm Sherman when he was driving a Panther (his weapon of choice) :P It was on Bastonge map, east of the southern flag, near the timber yard. His tank appeared on the minimap and I, knowing my tank is inferior to all german tanks, instantly ran for cover, and one-shot-killed him to the side and I could almost not believe it :P But proudness was felt.

Fresh from hslan. Best round of Ramelle ever? Us Yanks got pushed back to the "Sherman compund" thrice, and once the Germans even managed to grey out the flag. At one point, there were the burning hulks of a Tiger and Marder right next to the house (which is why they were killed - they were too greedy and got too close). Every time, we counterattacked and pushed them back to the town (the first counterattack even managing to recap Alamo momentarily), finally winning the round with some 200 tickets.

Had one of my best moments in FH2 so far on 762 server yesterday with Unique whoring around on Vossenak. I was a bit bored and didn't get a good tank so I decided to take the Wespe and to try some crazy things. First time I got killed by an M10. Second time I got some team kills at Kall Trail. I started to give up but wanted to give this underrated vehicle a last chance. So I took it once more, since I saw it lonely in the mainbase and as I was the SL my fellow mate spawned on my vehicel in the gunner seat. We were communicating via TS so this helped us a lot. I started a jounrey from the main base to Kall Trail and then on the most southern road heading to Oberdorf. I knew I could make this crazy move with some luck and in the kowlegde of Unique's position, so flanked all these camping Shermans and having two of them in our sigths. We took aim for the first tank but it got blasted by one of our tanks. One was remaining and I knew it was the tank god itself who has always the best awareness of the situation. We didn't want to take any risk so I drove my Wespe directly behind him making him unable to move back. We sticked him our gun directly into the a*s of his Sherman and gave him the finishing move though our first shot bounced off - don't ask why. That was nothing someone expected so all the guys in TS were like WTF and we had some great fun. We had a second awesome moment with an M10 who shot us fronatly but only took half of our hitpoints. We head to head with him and waiting for the reload since we missed our first shot. We were a bit faster and my fellow mate send this M10 to heaven. This was nice but it didn't feel as good as killing Unique with the mighty Wespe in this brave move. This works only once in ten years.  ;D

See you on the Battlefield ...  ;)

While playing Späher on Mount Olympus today I spotted a lone British heavy tank flanking the castle. I placed the marker with my Feldglas, got a spirit-rising "Jawohl" as an answer and saw German light and medium armor closing in from behind. Bam, yellow light and sparks (so many sparks!), blackened bumping and shaking wreckage.

succesful teamwork still is quite a shock as good communication in pubservers tends to be almost impossible. These kind of things therefore are more or less lucky situations and I appreciated this one thoroughly! :)

Nice Wakain, this could easily be in "The little things..." thread too. I too love it when teamwork occurs on public servers, and it is more often than one might think!  :)

I have to say, that with the decreasing player count in the last few weeks the teamwork has increased alot on the public servers. Not that I would dislike to see more players, but you can see such situations quiet often. When I got a binocular I try to spot enemies as often as possible or give targets for arty and I see these things also done by alot of other players and well appreciated. Big Brother is always watching the mini map  ;D

I'm always proud of AT mine kills, especially at El Alamein. I know how big of a role minefields played in North Africa and I like bringing that aspect to the game.

I honestly dont remember my first kill, but first I joined server. I was brit, it was Alam Halfa (2.10 I think) and germans had pushed brits to last flag. Bf109 strafed directly at me, almost killing me. Round ended pretty fast without me actually doing anything. But oh boy that was better than vanilla BF2.

Leading from the front - Defense of the chateau (Lebisey)

Ever been squad leader and had your squad all die from something, say grenade or 75mm panther HE and all that is left is you, the squad leader. The base falls to the enemy and just then, a squad of enemy infantry move in mop up.

You have just enough time to reload your smg. Thank god you chose NCO kit, but suck to be you if they see you and can alert the others of a squad leader present.

The place is deathly quite except for the hum of the tank engine some where in the courtyard below.
They start pouring in.

The first few stumble across you by chance in a top floor bedroom. You take them out quickly, then there is a  pause.

Suddenly the sounds of hurried footsteps can be heard outside. A blast against the window as the tank fires and then 2 come charging in. You partly spray and partly aim and both go down. A simple smg shot hits you, but you arent bleeding.

A grenade comes flying in, you duck behind the bed and wait for the impending death cam. But it never comes. Instead, you get concussion and the ringing still in your ears as more enemy come pouring in.

But they are not coordinated. They come in one after the other. Your ears are still ringing so the muzzle flashes are all the sign you get of yourself and your assailants firing. You spray from the hip, aiming for the doorway and they each go down.

You turn around to look at the wall behind you and see a perfect semi circle of bullet holes around you.

The last guy comes in just then.

Shit! You forgot to reload. The shot hit you and your vision goes red. You move to him wirh knife drawn. You hold your breath. He fires again....

He misses. You get in close just as he tries to fix bayonet. You get to him first and stab him.


Quickly you drop a bandage, then another.

A shell hit the window again from the panther below. It explodes against the window causing a TK outside. The last of the squad, their squad leader.

You limp back to the your corner of the room awaiting the inevitable next shot from the tank oranother wave of attackers,

But just then, a friendly - one of your squad mates spawns on you, and you hear it.


A tank outside, coming from the east AT position with infantry in tow... The rest of your squad.
Classic gunship rescue.

The panther engine revs up.

You suddenly remember your mic. You must have been shoutin into it all along, telling you squad to hurry and spawn or get to you. And now here they are.

The Panther retreats and tries to flank your sherman. You hear a sprin and fizz an then a bang as a PIATer fires at it. You move to the window to look.


The panther, now sparking and burning begins to swivel its turret around to the offending squad mate and then bang, it goes up in a spray of sparks and smoke. Its turret eerily completin the turn in silence.

Suddenly you see the wall above you explode into mortar and wood chipping amd ou spin around to see a mp40 blaring at you. The shooter goes down after a single role shot and a aquad mates comes up.

You hear the words 'tally ho!' and realize its all over - and somehow you survived.

Its rhen you suddenly remember that you still have an empty magazine so, with your heart now slowing down, you reload a second time.

Your team has all the flags and the round will soon be over.

You can feel every single second of these moments. These are the momets, when the heart starts to race and you can feel the adrenaline. Sounds stupid, for someone who doesn't play the game, but these moments are just awesome. Sadly there aren't many games offering this experience for me. Just FH2 and Darkest Hour bring up this special athmosphere.

Some great spotting action on Sidi Rezegh yesterday (Gee I sure love that scoutclass, don't I?):
As Brits we fought long and hard for the Blockhouse CP, changing hands multiple times. My squad eventually got destroyed time and time again because of the rapidly respawning Carro Armato and Flak 88, so I decided to do things a little slower. I advanced on the Blockhouse from the eastern road, stopped prone beneath a destroyed truck static. Our foe, perhaps one squad, manned their AT emplacements admirably, so I spotted them for our 3 inch mortar. Our mortarguy was excellent, he often got those pesky emplacements with the first round. I was soon joined by a Stuart 'Honey', which drew the Italo-German forces to gun emplacements (everytime it respawned) which I spotted for our mortar, and the Carro Armato which I spotted for the Stuart.

Some excellent action, I got heaped with spotting assists and the axis team was hardly able to mount an effective counter to us. Unfortunately our team was unable to take advantage of the situation as the (mostly Italian) defenders were able to smite every infantry assault of ours (which weren't very coordinated unfortunately). Couldn't stay 'till the end of the round but I would like to thank those Stuart and Mortar guys, Brilliant wordless teamwork gentlemen!

Yesterday on Crete was good fun. I was dicking around in the minute piss-break before every map irritating all the people annoyed that Crete had turned out to be the next map (Crete is my favorite map in FH2, as it was in 1). Ran to the nearest Bofors at Maleme.. and three minutes into the round, my score was 38, with 22 kills and 0 deaths, leading the second-placed player by 34 points. Not one to be very bothered by scores, as 99% of the time I play in a way that doesn't reward you with many points anyway, but I was pretty proud.

I don't want to flatter myself here, but I think it would be fair to say that at this time, someone on the German team had asked the Stukas and 109 to aim for my Bofors specifically. After that start, I was killed four times in five minutes, with a 109 (karel88l I think) continuously strafing the Bofors I was in/repairing (next to the hangar), and Stukas bombs landing near it four or five times. Lead the round for most of it, but was nicked at the end by someone on the German team, who ended up with three more points than me. But damn, that was a hell of a fun round.

Must have been the Panzer IV or StuG... more likely the PzIV. I only recall it NOT being the Tiger, being a threat to most of our panthers and not easily swarmed by infantry.

Usually that kind of ambush is done by the Panther. But yer, it couldn't have been the panther.

Last night Alam Halfa 32 on WaW was amazing. The Germans took the first flag pretty quick, had a rough go capping the second flag and then the third one was defended like crazy by the Brits and it was only lost with a few tickets left, and I think someone even managed to grey it back again before dying.

My contribution, apart from having a few drinks and a smoke, was to spawn at the back flag and grab a 6-pounder, which I rolled south and then zoomed along the south part of the map near the minefield, promising to have the anti-tank gun in position to hurt incoming German armor in a couple of days. Eventually I did roll it up so I was southwest of the middle flag. Over the course of ten minutes (and two more shots), I destroyed 4 Panzer IIIs, 3 Panzer IVs and an Opel Blitz. Someone tried to backcap in a Kubelwagen (there's always one asshole online) and he spotted me. I had spawned with a tanker kit for the binocs and the wrench. I saw him sneaking up behind me in freelook and I hopped out and nailed him with my Webley and he died. Not long after that a Crusader drove near my position, and I killed someone attempting to satchel it with my Webley as well.

I think the best part was just how I managed to get the kills. I still have no confidence in my ability to aim with anti-tank gun sights yet, but everything just seemed to work out for me. Two of the panzer IIIs were just hazy gray shapes on the horizon when I hit them, and one of the panzer IVs I couldn't see in normal view and only noticed because I saw mg fire coming from a spot a fair ways away. I located him with binocs and sent two rounds where I guessed he must be, and hit him with the second one. Many of the kills were very close calls, an inch either way would've easily meant I wouldn't have run short of paint for kill rings. On several occasions I hit a tank with the 6-pounder at what had to be the last or second last running wheel or came painfully close to missing the tank completely, but it always seemed to find home.

I was killed with the field arty team of the enemy (which is kind of strange, because I was nowhere near any flags and no teammates were close by) and didn't manage anything else memorable for the rest of the round but it was a hell of a lot of fun. In a squad with Carrion and a guy called Weege, it was a good time.

Ramelle Quickie:

Takes about 10 Minutes

Requires:
- All the ingredients required for normal Ramelle
- Irishforce

Keep Irishforce in the German Main Base for seasoning while the rest of the team goes out with the first Tiger. Now make sure that no Germans are hindering the Allies from capping Right Flank, because that will dry out the dish. When they cap Right Flank you can take the seasoned Irishforce out of the Main Base and throw it into the Allies. You won't actually need a mixing tool because Irishforce will shake things up all by itsself. Wait while Irishforce beats, batters and fries the American team for about 10 Minutes. When it's all over shave some Private Ryan over it and season with Salt and Pepper. Enjoy!

Nutritional Information:
- Combined Allied: ~534
- Combined Axis: ~849
   - of that Irishforce: ~409



There's also a moral to this recipe:
     Americans should never cap the Right Flank while Irishforce is seasoning in Main Base.

Yesterday, on Viller Bocage, on Hslan (I think). Firefly (me) vs. Tiger I (Irish Reloaded)

I was an allied SL and by chance I took the Firefly out of main to go get the south Villers flag, because our team was getting nowhere with the more obvious Tilly and Crossroads flags.

After making my way over to Villers rather easy (with some edge-of-map sneaking) and taking out a few germans along the way I parked my Firefly on the little field between the river and Villers so my squad could take the flag and I had a clear field of vision to support them.

Suddenly, in between 2 houses, I see a Tiger driving on Villers' main road, straight to the flagzone, and there was half a squad sitting on top. I got one shot off but it bounced off the turret. Cursing myself for not having an HE shell loaded (I would've cleared the whole squad off the Tiger if I had) I chased it into Villers, hoping I could put a AP round in its ass and be done with it.

Alas, the driver had seen me (at least I think) and had turned right to the river, so when I came on the main road it was already out of sight. Driving the same route I could see him over a wall. He saw me too, but both our guns couldn't shoot over the wall so we both drove on.

Now we were both at the river but there was a house between us. Turning further and taking pot shots at eachother we both tried to get in a better firing position. I got hit but survived. I hit the Tiger a couple of times, but only from the front, or on the turret. Then just as he survived what I expected to be my last shot the Tiger made a weird move and that bought me some time. While frantically clicking my left mouse button in the hope I could get one more shot off before he'd finish me, I saw the smoke coming from his barrel and figured I had lost the duel. At that moment my gun fired and the screen turned into the kill screen.

Half expecting to just be dead and seeing the Tiger drive off on the killscreen, I was quite surprised to see the message on the top left corner of my screen:

IrishReloaded [Tiger I] Darkly Dreaming Dexter
DarklyDreamingDexter [Firefly] IrishReloaded

Now shooting eachother on the exact same moment is always mentionworhty, but I hardly ever take a tank so a proper sneaky tank duel (against someone I recognize as a solid/expert player) is pretty rare for me. We lost the round, and a couple of others before and after that, but that action made my day. :-)

Oh, and by the way, DarklyDreamingDexter is my new FH2-nick, since I couldn't login with my old login name after a recent re-install.

DarklyDreamingDexter: What is you take on the last Dexter season? I thought the writing dropped in quality considerably.

Well, let me first state that my love for Dexter isn't entirely objective. I have Asperger Syndrome and to me Dexter is more than just a TV show, it's like a personal guide on how to live with people around you, and also explains (in hindsight) a lot of personal stuff I went through during my life. When I saw the first episode I was simply baffled; finally there was a show that didn't treat autism as a funny trait, or a weird skill, but as a life altering condition that takes effort and determination to live with.

(Now of course in the context of the show Dexter's 'dark passenger' (in his case his bloodlust) is caused by a specific traumatic happening in his life but his character traits are definitely autistic. Just clearing up that I'm not just a smitten fanboy who identifies with mass murder)

So concerning the show's recent season: I loved it, although I think I get your point. The writing seemed more calm, and less focussed on scoring points with oneliners or tense situations. Dexter himself finally seemed to be in control of his life and his actions. The past seasons were really high strung, with him getting out of situations just in time, and getting into new ones just as fast, which didn't seem like him. And it was almost exhausting to watch.

So the 'freshness' has gone a bit (but hey, it's season 6) but it's far from stale: Cpt. Adama and Son-of-Hanks were two pretty awesome nemesi and the whole plotline leading up to the cliffhanger, although on the verge of being far-fetched, was a wallop. I didn't see that one coming at all (didn't really thought the writers would go for a twist like that). Also Dexter going on a bender with his brother seemed to stretch the boundaries of the show's own concept a bit too much, but we experience the show from his perspective so in the end I found it to work. Was nice seeing him be his other self for a change. :)

Untill now the only season I found to be a little sub-par was season 3 (with Jimmy Smith as Dexter's first 'friend') but even that one still had a lot of pluspoints. Personally I love how every season has it's Dexter-specific but real-life main theme, wether it be relationships, having a kid, trying to make friends, religion/spirituality etc.. The way that his struggles with everyday things like those is portrayed in the show is really well done and relatable.

So pardon my long story, but you asked me for my personal take (and I've even held back a bit). ;)

Tonight, WaW, Giarabub 16. The short story is that myself and my squad mates saw the score at 125-24 (125 Italians, 24 Australians, my squad Australian), and we quickly took both flags and our defense was such that the round ended 3-0 Australia. Regardless of how many people were online, that was the single most unexpected victory I have ever been a part of in FH2.
Title: Re: Times in FH1/2 you felt 'proud', or perhaps simply awesome.
Post by: CHRISTIEFRONTDRIVE on 02-03-2012, 18:03:49
There were quite a few awesome moment for me on WaW last night.

- In a squad on the British side on Port-en-Bessin. Our first attempt to take Shipyard failed miserably when the car all four of us were in blew up crashing into the house. Then I attempted to take a Wasp over there to barbecue the flag for a while before capping it, only to roll the Wasp over almost immediately and narrowly escape death. We did take Shipyard eventually, and that's when the fun began. In just three short minutes, and after 0 kills and 5 deaths to start the round (the other 3 deaths are boring stories) I killed 7 people with the M30 Drilling in about three minutes. This was accomplished whilst smoking a cigarette, which naturally made me feel pretty badass. A couple were picked off on the opposite side of the river, one coming down from the southwest flag to attack Shipyard, and then we went to cap Outskirts. We got it and we were crossing the 'river' to go get Widerstandnest 56 when I fell into the port. Swam across the river instead, up a ladder, and jazzed around in the houses keeping an eye out for enemy inf as my squad moved up. Killed someone waaaay across the river with the Drilling rifle. Reloaded and almost immediately killed someone sneaking past my house. Ran out of the house and switched to shotgun and spied another guy climbing up the ladder I'd just come from. He ran right past me and I got him in my sights, and missed the shot by a country mile. Took off running down the steps and back onto the road, reloading, and turned around just in time to make that same guy eat two shotgun blasts as he came to investigate. Was killed shortly afterwards but I had the Drilling for a lot longer than usual, so that made me happy. The best part for me was how none of it felt natural, I hadn't played FH2 for a while and it all felt really awkward to me, I couldn't get comfy in my chair and that sort of thing, but nearly everything I shot at that round I hit.

- The other really good moment from last night would have to be on Eppeldorf. When I'm playing on the Euro servers I always take South Farm to defend, hopping into the 76mm a/t gun and rolling it back towards the American main. There's a nice spot you can sit where you are pretty well hidden but you can see any movement at the flag, and then roll forward over a little hill and blast it with HE. This was my plan, and for nearly 15 minutes, not a God damn thing happened. Then, I looked at the map to check up on the other action, and in the space of about two seconds, the flag was suddenly German. Torn between hitting it with HE and getting out to try and take it as inf (I had an M1 Carbine and I can't hit anything with that gun), I finally decided to storm it as inf. I thought that if it was a squad I should use HE, but if it was a squad I would've seen it. More likely it was just one inf sneaking from the nearby flag that was German at the time. I got out my comp B and blew up my a/t gun so no one could sneak into it and use it to kill me (no friendlies around).

Bailed out and snuck into town. Heard a K98 go off and managed to kill the guy that shot me. That flag takes ages to grey with one guy. Moved to a different spot and killed him again when he respawned. Stole his K98, fuck the Carbine. Then the PaK40 spawned a millisecond before the flag greyed. I jumped in it, switched to HE, put it in reverse, and sent a shell into the barn, where I killed three guys I had no idea were in there. Swung around and put a shell into that other little house there, where the Zook spawns - another kill. Flag was ours again, and I returned to where I was originally, only now I had a PaK instead of an M3.

And no one attacked for another 10 minutes.. 15 minutes.. finally, I got tired of hearing endless complaints about a camping KT who was just north of our ABC line at the top left of the map. I swung the PaK around, put it in 1st and headed off through the woods. I wasn't kitty hunting, I just thought after hearing so many 'there's a guy in church's on the teamchat I should go see what I can do to help. Cruised through the woods for a few minutes when someone spotted the KT and it glowed red on my minimap (I was zoomed out as far as I could go, so the KT was still pretty far away, but at least I knew where it was).

I reached the northern edge of the woods and creaped forward in gunsight view to try and get eyes on the Tiger. I couldn't see the KT but I could hear it firing, and using free-look sonar I zeroed in on it. I finally saw it, just a white turret sticking out over a white hill. The turret wasn't pointing at me, but near enough. I doubted I could get a good shot from there but I loaded AP anyway. Ping, right off the turret, but no damage. I was about to reverse and try to get a better angle when the KT moved from cover and a side hull shot became slightly possible. I was halfway up a hill and my view was skewed, the line of the horizon going from the bottom left to the top right of my screen as if I'd turned my monitor 45 degrees. The KT was not quite at pixel distance, but it was very close to it, and if it reversed or drove away I wouldn't be able to see it with the snow. I fired and drove forwards again to try and level my sights. Hit number 1! I couldn't see any smoke on it but I knew I hit it. Re-aimed and fired again. Hit number 2! (Well, 3, technically. Whatever). Seriously smoking now. The KT switched from reversing to just driving away, but it was approaching the limits of my view distance. I fired again, and hit it again, and it was burning, but still driving away. It reached view distance and I lost sight of it, but I continued to lead it as best as I could. As the next round clanged into the PaK, I fired again and up she went. The round was nearly over at this point, and it was the last we saw of the KT.

- I had another one but I guess that's long enough. Just one of those nights we all have from time to time, where I overachieved like nobody's business. I'm sure tonight on WaW will be a return to usual form :D.

Shot down two P47s over Farmhouse with the PaK 40 on Cobra in the space of about five minutes and hit a Mustang but the round glitched just now, in a round that crashed to the desktop 4 times for me plus one internet disconnect. Slightly cheapened by the fact I was sitting in the PaK with the intention of plane hunting all round, but an achievement nonetheless.

Yesterday on Falaise. As Canadian we were losing horribly (something like 90-40 or so at this point) and all we had left was Mortar Battery. The Sherman V spawned as I was walking past it so I hopped in and gunned it for St. Lambert North (the flag closest to Church) to try and bypass the main German assault. I had no idea where the main German assault might be, other than that it was likely to be at Mortar Battery pretty soon.

Rolled along the east side of the map for a while and stopped at Lambert North and was about to cap the flag when I thought I ought to at least peak out on the field in the west of the map and see if I can pick off a few German infantry as inevitably I am going to be fausted before I cap the flag anyway. I drove out into that 'triangle' field between Church and Lambert North and saw three tanks supported by battalions of infantry. One AP round, knocked out a Panther. Second AP round, knocked out another Panther. Third AP round, hit the Panzer IV at fog distance and he was quickly knocked out. Switched to HE and decimated the entire German team. I think we recapped the first Lambert flag, and I kept levelling the middle flag until the end of the round, which ended 4-0 for Germany. We so nearly stole it at the end. Woulda been good :D.

It seems no one gives a fuck about this thread, but that's just too bad  :D. My awesome time on FH2 today is simply told - in the mobile PaK 40 as ever on Supercharge. KABANG! Up goes a 'backcapping' (i.e. going to camp uncaps) Sherman. 30 seconds later, after I missed my first shot, boom, up goes another Sherman. But wait, that's not all. I hear a Beaufighter.. KABOOOOM! Shot out of the sky. The Beaufighter respawns.. BLAMMO! Two rounds, two Beaufighter kills. It killed me the next time it spawned, but 10 minutes after this people were talking in teamchat about how irritating it is that the Brit tanks could take so much punishment.

'Just use the Pak 40' I said. 'It can kill anything on this map. I've already nailed two Beaufighters today'.

Followed by, less than 20 seconds. later. BAM!

'Better make that 3 Beaufighters'.

It was a good round, but at the risk of sounding greedy, on at least two separate occasions, I hit Allied planes with the mobile PaK but the round didn't penetrate/register. Really, it should have been 4 Beaus and 1 Spit, but three planes shot down by the PaK I spent 20 minutes cruising into the middle of the desert isn't a bad haul.

After hunting the elusive Stug on PeB for good 20 minutes I finally managed to stuff a PIAT up his rear... Felt really proud!

Followed by a great round of St. Lo with a great squad (forum regulars + Steiner as SL) defending Les Foulons viciously for around half an hour, before the other squads managed to take hill and get the push going, managed to pass over 100 points in the end and grab the Gold Star (and that's something that does not happen often to me  8)).

Bit of fun on Luttich earlier today. Not a big fan of that map and I was already kind of annoyed at spending ten minutes to try and switch teams to join a squad I wanted to be in, only to be teamswitched back immediately. I know that's not being a good team player and I don't make a habit of it, but I felt like joining a squad full of players I actually know for a change.

Finally, I gave up, spawned at the US main and grabbed the Greyhound. I cruised around town for a while, killing a couple Germans here and there but nothing spectacular. North of the town I came through some bocage and saw a German bicycling along happily in front of me. I watched him for a moment or two, ringing his bell, and thinking it unsporting and not really caring about teamplaying too much at this point I drove up behind him, spammed 'CHARGE!' on the commo rose, and then headed off to the farm, the only flag I hadn't visited so far. I approached through a field NW of the flag (which was ours) and saw a shell blast right by me. Guessing, correctly, it was from the US-held 57mm gun I assumed there must be a tank between me and the flag, and there was, a StuG. He was reversing into the field in front of me. I switched to AP and fired a shot and did a bit of damage (if you aim for the top upper hull you can hurt the StuG with the Greyhound). I fired again, no damage, and a third time, damaging him again. At this point he began to turn, and knowing he'd get me if I tried to reverse, I went full speed ahead, wrecklessly passing in front of him, and he fired and missed me by a millimetre. Now we were engaged in some strange game of ring-around-the-rosie, the StuG spinning on the spot to try and get me in his sights, and me driving circles around it trying to get a shot at the narrow space on the back where you can do some damage. After twenty seconds or so I got another hit, and the StuG started smoking. He then took off towards the German main, spamming the smoke launcher for all it's worth, and I couldn't see anything but grey. I followed the sound of his engine and fired a few more times, a couple misses and one non-penetrating hit. Finally, the smoke cleared, and the StuG was just at the very edge of fog distance. I took aim and blew him up. At this point, there was only about 20 tickets left for us versus 150 or so for the axis, so when I spotted a Panther wreaking havoc at farm a few seconds later I drove full speed at it, wildly firing the 37mm gun and machine gun at him before crashing into him just as the round ended.

Yesterday on Luttich I killed two Panthers that drove way south to camp the American ABC line. I couldn't find the print screen button on my new keyboard so I have no visual record, but they were literally bumping into each other. They were driving one behind the other, and the first one stopped suddenly and then second one drove into him :D. One zook killed the one behind and two zooks killed the second one.

Here is a story I may have mentioned during a long game of FH2, when my finger would suddenly begin to hurt and I would complain or leave. This goes way back to FH1, back when I was much much more competitive.

I think it may have been sometime in 2006. It was a long tournament as I usually would have every week or so, playing for a good 6+ hours and still going past 3 AM. Well, after holding down my crouch key for a whole two hours on one map, trying to keep under cover and still kill people MY FINGER BROKE! Just like that, it caved in under pressure. It was quite painful, really. But, it was very important match so I just quicky remapped my crouch key and continued playing for another hour. So many kills, so few deaths in the end. But ever since that I've not been able to play FPS games all that well. My finger just caves in naturally now and then after just an hour of pressure. Doesn't break anymore, but hurts alot. I still love to play sniper in FH1/FH2 but I tend to avoid 30+ player games, along with highly organized battles.

Despite this old war wound though, I can still play and even occasionally come out in first place which is really satisfying.

Normally I find your best rounds are after you've played a couple warm-up maps, you get your eye in after an hour or so, but after work today I came home praying there'd still be a server up and lo and behold, 762 still had 55 or 56 people on it. The map was Goodwood, and I was already pissed I'd missed it as I love that map, but it turns out the map had only just started and I'd missed barely a minute.

I spawned at La Prieure with my PIAT as usual, and a couple unsuccessful attempts at advancing on Cagny led me to consider heading for Grentheville instead. I normally don't go there but I was in tank-killing mood and I figure'd it'd be the best flag for it. I jumped in an APC and heading off bravely over open territory. I used the up arrow key to bring the windshield armor down, which I always do for the sheer joy of seeing it fold down but which never in 4 months of FH2 ever needed to be done, and not two seconds after it's down - pingpingpingpingpingping! Bullets smashed across my windshield but not one of them made it into the Purple Heart Box. I kept on it and bailed near the Nebelwerfer.

Now, I'm not one to brag, and normally in FH2 I am more useless than tits on a duck, but the stars aligned and I was fucking ON IT this round. I charged fearlessly into Grentheville, pistol drawn, and killed two Germans. A Panzer IV drove by, reversing, through the field by the Nebel. I crouched down and fired my PIAT from a range of roughly 80m, and dropped a round neatly on top of the Panzer IV, earning two kills. I ran into the town and capped the flag with the help of a teammate, was killed by some inf, before respawning again and killed an advancing Hanomag with a shot from an upstairs window. I killed two inf with one PIAT round sneaking through the trees shortly afterwards, before nailing a Panther with three rounds (two hits and a miss) about five minutes later. A couple more guys fell victim to my Colt before I managed to snag a second Panzer IV with a shot to the engine deck as it drove past my window. And then, the crowning jewel - the King Tiger had advanced upon the British lines, only to be nailed by the Firefly and retreated hastily up the main street at Grentheville, right passed the door to the house I was hiding in. Up in flames she went. I only got occasional half-tracks after that but it was a hell of a round.

It was topped only a couple maps later when my squad had relentlessly blasted around Anctoville, capping and recapping and re-recapping flags, only to have Mairie fall for the eleven-thousandth time not a minute after we'd capped it. I'd been carrying a No4 around most of the map but for once had managed to grab a Sten, and, losing patience with losing Mairie (the bottom flag on the map, with the Opel Blitz in the courtyard), I ran into the building and killed three guys in six seconds. Defended flag! Defended flag! Defended flag! I enjoyed a pleasant moment of typing 'Mairie clear' into teamchat and earning a 'DAMN!' from my squad leader. I picked up a PIAT from a fallen teammate and then used it to kill a Hanomag that had blasted past us and then all the way across an open field, with a perfectly-timed shot that caught the half-track right in the upper-rear part of the body work just as it drove behind a building. Not a bad day of FH, tonight.

Friday night on WaW. One grenade, six Germans dead, Bastogne won. And my luck for the night used up. But the rest of it went alright, a come-from-behind American victory on Brest (the score 41-62 Germany at one point) and finishing 1-0 America and getting the 2nd-highest score on Mersa Matruh (missing out on top spot 82 for Muratti and 80 for me). All things considered not a bad night.

Easily my most awesome moment in FH occured back in FH1 on Gazala. I was in the Wespe at the main base shooting indirect fire into the flag area and actually shot down a low flying Spitfire with one of the shells ;D

It looked pretty cool watching that Spit blow up midair through the "spotter" camera.

Not me personally, but holy ****ing hell it was awesome

Ramelle, the krauts had capped us out and we had a couple of guys left.   They move in and we only have one guy left - Tigers and Marders are closing in and just over the otherside of the hedgerows.  Game over.

Enter mister Condottierri.  He runs and jumps in to the 76mm sherman and doesn't moves so it doesn't look like anyone has gotten in yet.  The tiger moves past the wall around the house and the sherman fires a shot in to the tracks.  Tiger is destroyed.

Condi then moves in to the cap zone and starts blasting HE and MG fire on to their troops and Marders.  He then caps back HQ.  Everyone rushes in and spawns.  We now have 4 Shermans up.  They all move in on the capable points.  We rush the **** out of the Germans and meet up with their respawned Tiger at bridge.  Yep, we were down to one guy left alive and capped out and we pushed them all the way back to bridge.  The game slows down and the Axis start counter (counter) attacking.

They cap us out again, but this time there is no Condottierri to save us =( We lose something like 150-0 after being 99.9% gone.

Epic battle!

Recently in a map i was chased by a few Germans while i was reloading. I came around a corner and decided to wait out my time there when a german dude come around another corner on the opposit of me. I saw him to late and he fired his first shot and hit, but i was only bleeding. In a hurry i searched for my bandage but because of the stress i managed drawing a pistol, knife and BAR within the second before i finally found my bandage wich i used. The German appeared for another shot with a buddy of him, and i grabbed my bar and blind fired at them, killing them both (35/45m away). I couldn believe my luck and i reloaded, and right after i finished 2 other german dudes appeared who were originally chasing my and i blind fired again, this time them beign 5 m away i made them weigh a few kg of led more, and i felt awwwwwwwsooomeeee.

Tonight on WaW we were doing El Alamein 16 and like I usually do when there's less than 20 online I try to use the less-serious atmosphere to practice with weapons I don't normally get the opportunity to use - tonight, it was the Panzerbuchse. It was a week or so ago I'd felt I really got the hang of aiming with it, but tonight I found out I was wrong, for I was nailing enemy infantry at a good 40-50% rate. I had strings of three or four straight misses here and there, but I'd say it averaged out to 4 or 5 hits for every 10 shots fired, and included a great kill streak where I managed to nail 4 enemy soldiers in 4 straight shots. One was very close, but two were at a distance I wouldn't have been completely confident using a normal rifle, and the last one was days away. He might as well have still been on the last map, but I lined him up and blew him to smithereens. When tank hunting I'll take the Boys rifle 10 times out of 10 if it's available but there was something definitely awesome-feeling in slamming the single shot into the gun. You don't get hit indicators on infantry which feels a bit awkward, but that feeling goes away fast when you look up and see you're lighting up the obituaries in the top left of the screen.

[Small wall of text coming]
I really had a good laugh last Saturday on hslan. We were playing ElAlamein (British). Grabbed a Daimler from the main base and headed to the South east of the map past Miteiriya Ridge. There I started prowling unsuspecting tanks. Killed a Marder and a Panzer 4 (track shot) which were focused on Kidney ridge and didn't even see me coming. Re-captured the el Deib Flag and retreated back towards SE corner. Another tank saw me and started chasing me/firing. I was trying to escape with shots landing really close when I hit a burning petrol tank static and I glitched....the daimler rose a couple of metres from the ground and I saw a shell fly underneath me (through were I was a split second before!)  :o Landed and ran away while laughing my head off!

I don't often lead the scoring, but when I do, it's by a huge margin. Normally on Giarabub 16 on WaW Thursdays/Fridays I practice my pistoling and AT-rifling, but the Thompson was temptingly never limited for the first five minutes of the round, despite a good 12 or 13 people on each team, and I love it on single-shot. At the end of the round I was 112 points, 48 teamwork points, 47 kills and 20 deaths, the next best player on 60 points and next best kills on 23 or 24. It was the only time in my 6-month FH2 history I lead both the teamwork and combat points, and the only time I got the (silver) Submachine gunner medal.

Operation Cobra.

I was scouting for a guy in the 105mm howitzer.
We took out several strategic targets (PAK40, FLAK88,...), laid down barrages on strategic points, and even managed to destroy a live Panther tank hidden in a shrubbery. Was awesome. Also spotted lots of enemy tanks, which were brutally taken out by our airforce or tank destroyers.

USA won the map, and I even got a good score having made only 4 kills.

Joined a squad and had my SL say 'Hey Christie I'm glad you're on our team tonight', and five minutes later the squad (I'm sorry to say) I wanted to join in the first place but was full lost a member and they immediately asked me to join, and by name, not by page up/down squad invite.

Not really all that proud or amazed, but I was a bit drunk and I thought everyone was just fucking with me. How someone with 180 ping could be sought after for even a second is beyond me, but it was very flattering. I was all good being a drunken idiot playing FH2 but now I have to step up my game!

When just today, I coordinated a Napoleon-style line battle between the Germans and US with rifles on Battle of Brest when 762 had only 7 players. Tried to record but then found it to lag even worse than it already had (I live in the United States). Nonetheless, we had a blast. Also, many a knife fight including an organized bayonet charge.

Weird to see no posts in this thread since the patch..

Anyway, playing as Canadian on Totalize and in a Cromwell approaching the river. I was trying to spy a Panther through the trees near Flak Battery, but positioning my tank I happened to notice a hanomag driving over the rail bridge. I blew him up (one guy in it), and went to turn back to the Panther.. but another hanomag drove by. And then another. Both only had one guy, but after I had dispensed with them a fourth hanomag drove by and this one was a school bus, with 4 Germans in it. I was fausted just when I spied a fifth hanomag approaching the bridge from the other side, and it was then I began questioning just how much I had been drinking that day. They all kept driving over the same spot in helpful intervals of about 6 or 7 seconds, like the train tracks were one big hanomag conveyor belt.

Bardia on the 130 server yesterday, some guy named Joker was in one of the Italian tanks before realizing that's the worst place to be in the world, so he tried to pawn it off on someone else by offering the tank to teammates, free of charge. Feeling lucky I took up the challenge, repaired that bitch, and set out on a hunt for enemy tanks.

I found a lot of them. I took out two Cruisers in quick succession, followed by a Vickers at Wadi Outpost a short time later. Another Cruiser nearly had me but I got him with a lucky side-shot. Then the enemy Carro Armato showed up, and I managed to defeat him in a head-on duel. One more Vickers and one more Cruiser tank (along with three or four infantry peppered throughout my time in the tank) when a check of the map informed me I had stayed alive in an Italian tank for over 13 minutes. It seemed as good a time as any to bail out and offer the tank to the next boy in line to become a man. That was one magic Carro Armato.

WaW, St. Lo 32, about 30 people online. Me and Eightball grabbed a jeep and headed off to the Axis main, the last flag the enemy had. It greyed as we were going there, so naturally we just zoomed around, causing havoc. Since the jeep now has a Browning, we used it to hunt down any Germans trying to escape in jeeps and trucks - we went after a kubelwagen headed for Chateau and blasted it to smithereens. We saw a truck going for the church, so we high-tailed it after the Opel and Eightball blasted the shit of him, too.

But the best was yet to come: we saw a StuG at the German main (still grey), and I hoped our combined horn-honking and MG-shooting would distract it enough for someone to zook it. We never did find out though, because as we zoomed past the StuG, we hit a fence or a sandbag or something, and the BF2 engine showed us a little bit of BF1942 physics. Our jeep launched into the air: the StuG went from menacing enemy tank to a little yellow sandbox as we sailed sky-high. Friendly and enemy soldiers alike looked like ants fighting over a pile of dirt. As Eightball and myself flew through the air, the clouds within our grasp, we cleared the flag building by a good 20 or 30 feet, and even briefly passed into the cap radius. Alas, though we had learned to fly, it was to be a short flight. After launching into the air over the barn, MG still slamming away and horn still blazing (if ever there was a time for a Dukes of Hazzard Dixie horn in FH2, this was it), we plummeted back to Earth in our jeep (now on fire), and exploded on impact.

Those who witnessed the event will never forget the exploits of these two rocket men, so brave they flew a jeep from France straight into Germany.

WaW, St. Lo 32, about 30 people online. Me and Eightball grabbed a jeep and headed off to the Axis main, the last flag the enemy had. It greyed as we were going there, so naturally we just zoomed around, causing havoc. Since the jeep now has a Browning, we used it to hunt down any Germans trying to escape in jeeps and trucks - we went after a kubelwagen headed for Chateau and blasted it to smithereens. We saw a truck going for the church, so we high-tailed it after the Opel and Eightball blasted the shit of him, too.

But the best was yet to come: we saw a StuG at the German main (still grey), and I hoped our combined horn-honking and MG-shooting would distract it enough for someone to zook it. We never did find out though, because as we zoomed past the StuG, we hit a fence or a sandbag or something, and the BF2 engine showed us a little bit of BF1942 physics. Our jeep launched into the air: the StuG went from menacing enemy tank to a little yellow sandbox as we sailed sky-high. Friendly and enemy soldiers alike looked like ants fighting over a pile of dirt. As Eightball and myself flew through the air, the clouds within our grasp, we cleared the flag building by a good 20 or 30 feet, and even briefly passed into the cap radius. Alas, though we had learned to fly, it was to be a short flight.

Easily the greatest moment that has ever happened in FH2.  Probably the best thing that has happened for a long time in my sad, pathetic life...as well as in Andrew's sad, pathetic life.

Can't deny that. And for the record, the jeep was on fire before we even saw the StuG. It wasn't particularly healthy from all those World's Wildest Police Chases we were doing to begin with, and whilst chasing dat Kubel to Chateau we drove through a hedge only to find someone had built a wall behind it. We were ablaze long before we really did become shooting stars. I mention this now because this fact makes the story even more awesome (as if it needed to be more awesome). Me and Eightball's antics that day won't soon be forgotten.

This thread needs more love. Normally when I play stoned I'm pretty useless but I caught lightning in a bottle dedicating a round on Hurtgen yesterday to blowing up American tanks. Normally I can't faust for shit but I was killing it, as if the Gods of FH had allowed me to use a month's worth of luck in 20 minutes. I fausted two Shermans near Katzenhardt, including one from miles off, but sadly the Americans overran us.

Fortunately, my squad leader (sadly I forget who it was) did an excellent job staying alive, and camped out in that house where a PaK 40 spawns, near the 88 (in the field, east of Katzenhardt but way north of Germeter). I fausted one more M10, was killed, before grabbing the Panzerschrek in the woods across the street. I hid out on the top of the building with !300! Valentin (he had an MG42). As he mowed down infantry, I took shots at enemy tanks. I missed an M10 by a mile first shot but hit him with the second. I also got a Sherman with my last schrek round, pistol'd the guy who killed Valentin but was then shot myself. Our SL was killed, but two seperate occasions we made it back to the same house to annoy US reinforcements. I managed to get a Sherman with one of those old school geballtes (1kg, not the green box). There was even an amusing moment where I stole a zook off a dead American and ran out, way beyond cover, up behind an M10, intending to zook him. I took aim, waiting patiently, and clicked, and then realized I had to reload the zook :D. I was killed before I could zook the M10, but I respawned in the house, grabbed the M1 Garand kit with the HEAT grenades that spawns there, went back on the roof and blew up the M10 with one shot to the side of the hull.

Then I ran out of skill and rage quit two rounds later :D.

Panzerschrek owns on Brest. I camped out in that 3-story, blown out building on the northwest side of the main intersection and blasted a Stuart that was bombing down the main street. Later on in the map the Stuart was right around the corner from the Gardens building (on the small map), smashing HE shell after HE shell down the street, and I waited for a good five minutes for him to poke his nose out into the road and shrek'd him too.

I did fail horribly at killing the Sherman though, but as it was usually Unique in the Sherman that was to be expected. First the Sherman was in the usual camping spot at the eastern end of the bottom road on the map, and my attempts to curve a shrek shell up the hill along that road failed miserably and usually ended in pieces of me scattered around the countryside. It's such a cliche spot to shoot from, but it's generally effective:

Gather 'round, kids, it's story time. Every so often, as if to prove you wrong, you'll play a few rounds of FH that are kind of bland and you start thinking maybe you'll go to bed or do something else, and then you'll have such an awesome time you can play for five more hours just off the energy of one round. This round on Vossenack, featuring 4 players on both teams, was one of those rounds. Sadly I do not have a screenie of one noob who said "This map sucks" two minutes into the round, but it's safe to say he's wrong.

We had been doing 16-size maps for a while, and while they were alright, they were getting a bit boring by this time in the night. Though the teams were reasonably even as far as skills are concerned, the Allied side had been kicking ass for several rounds, winning normal maps with ease, and winning king of the hill maps even easier, taking the flag and hardly losing it at all over the course of the round. On Vossenack we actually managed to get the church early, but some silly teamkills and sloppy defending gave it right back to the Americans after just a few minutes, and they repelled attack after attack.

We greyed and then captured the flag in the nick of time:

(http://imageshack.us/a/img822/5899/screen139l.jpg)

Having been killed about forty times by enemies in the rafters, once they were clear I decided to camp out there and hopefully snipe anyone attempting to sneak into the church from the holes in the wall. I waited in ambush, sights trained on this spot, for a minute or two, before an entire American squad came in through the other end of the church, and camped out on the ground floor. The flag greys fast with just one guy, so with three of them there, I knew I had to act fast. And I did:

We quickly re-capped with barely any bleed, which was handy because we couldn't win with anything more than barely any.

The final defense of the church featured many of the usual features of a desperate defense in FH: the four or five guys on our team must've shot nervous, reactionary bullets at each other about fifty times as we re-arranged our defense, scurrying around to block entrances and place mines. But it paid off:

That was a good one. I think everybody on our side was just as excited. That 4 equates to like how many seconds if we would have held? I think we brought it down from 7 to the 4 while you held, but no good. I felt the high but not like if we would have won.

Ramelle on the 128 server, I kept trying to trap the Tiger into a corner with the Hawkins mines but no luck (they kept disappearing). After I got HE blasted a few times I gave up and went to wait for the Sherman. When it spawned, someone by sheer coincidence zook'd the Tiger, so after I took out the Marder with 3 HE shots, I just went nuts. With the hull MG manned and infantry firing off the sides of the tank, I drove in a big loop from Alamo back towards our SE flag and around and around, blasting infantry. I used up all HE shells in a few minutes and went through 6 belts of 200-round MG ammunition. By the end of the round, the guy who had the Tiger all round had 54 kills and 4 deaths, and my one Sherman rampage had given me 55 kills 4 deaths :D.

Just playing Sidi, and had one of my best moments to date. I was defending outpost, and the flag had just got overrun by some infantry and panzers. I was hidden behind a wall as a sapper, and waited until a PzIV rolled past my position and stopped. I run out, and place a mine in front of him, only for the tank to begin a reverse. Panicking, and thinking he had seen me, I ran to keep up with him, and he stopped once more. I was sure he could see me though, as his barrel was turning my way. I considered dropping another mine, but started back the way he had come, and I was sure I was about to get mg'd. I said 'fuck it' to laying the mine, and ran around a wall for cover, only to run right into a german soldier! In my haste, i whipped out my spade instead of my rifle, but somehow managed to bludgeon the guy to death with it (a first for me), right as the PzIV rolled over my first mine and exploded. 

I was also super stoned and playing HUDless, so it felt goddamn awesome.

Was watching the Military Channel, Top 10 Combat Rifles a few weeks back where they talked about the M1 Garand. (M1 was #4, then the Enfield SMLE #3, M16 #2, and AK-47 #1. I'd agree with that ranking).

In the bit on the M1 they mentioned that the distinctive *ping* when ejecting the clip was sometimes a disadvantage for American GIs, as it could alert nearby enemies their rifle was empty.

Playing on Hurgten Forest for the Germans later that night I was engaged in a close range battle with some Joe over at the southernmost river flag. SHOOT, MISS, *duck behind bushes,* SHOOT AGAIN. Each of us being careful not to stand still and make ourselves an easy target. We exchanged a few shots, he fired again, and then... Ping!

I went into Kraut mode, stood straight up almost in slow motion, took careful aim at the poor bastard laying down trying to jam another clip in, he was staring right at me. I slowly pulled the trigger... Bang.

Definitely one of my most memorable FH moments :)

I had a glitch today.

I was German before the round of St. Lo and I tried to join a squad. When I clicked "join", I was teamswitched to Americans, where I was now SL of a squad I couldn't leave. Immediately 5 people joined up expecting me to lead them, because that's just how this shit goes. I couldn't leave the squad or join a new one. After driving around for a few seconds, I suddenly became Commander: I had that fancy crown on my minimap and everything, and I began issuing obnoxious orders to my teammates for the hell of it. But I couldn't resign Commander either: there was no squad list or anything when I hit Caps Lock: all that happened was every time I did this, I got that annoying voice teaching me a new thing about being Commander. So I tried to teamswitch back to Germany, and managed to do so, and everything worked fine again.

Yesterday on Crete as German.

I'm on the countryside with a few squadmates, in the Eastern part of the map, heading to the Eastern flag. As I was running, my screen turned blurry as some guy seemed to be firing on me with an mg. I hit the ground and carefully looked if I can see something and noticed a little dot on one of the roofs, assuming it might be the enemy. Took my rifle, trying to take a shot, but he kept firing and I got suppressed way too much so I crawled back into that little deepening, realizing I was pretty much stuck at this position. Began setting up my riflenade launcher, took a look over the ridge again, aimed sky high and saw the friggin grenade drop exactly on the position of the enemy. That must have been around maximum range of the grenade launcher as I was really far away and the curve was almost mortar style, I obviously did not expect to hit. Funny thing is that I thought whether I'll ever make a kill on that range with a rifle grenade while the grenade itself was still in the air. Seeing the little dust cloud appearing just perfectly on the position I "aimed" for was highly satisfying :D Shortly after I left my position and was able to approach further safely.
