Installed Red Orchestra + Darkest Hour thx to Rawhide's screenshots.
So i joined the best server in DH, 29th Infantry, and they were playing Berlin.
At first it was only 5 v 5, destroyed 2 Shermans with my PAK and i think i damaged a third or something, i dunno. People started to join, things got worse for us. After some bitter fighting we lost Deutsche Bank in wich i acredited myself another Sherman this time with a Panzerfaust 60.
Fallen German Defender.

We pulled back towards some position wich i dont remember the name, but the fighting was brutal. It was a big L street, with an enterable building in the corner. Room by Room, the Americans attempted to clear out the Building, but they failed. We had one strong squad of mixed infantry holding up in a kitchen or something, one MG42 and a couple of guys with captured Garands, STG44s and MP40s, among other stuff. I once again knocked out a Sherman, a very lucky shot. After some fighting, mostly with succes and small but very effective counterattacks, the yanks managed to blow the kitchen to pieces and get inside. Fortunely i wasnt there, i was covering the kitchen in some kind of reserve stuff, with a captured BAR, mounted on a bed.
Yanks came in, smoke, people dying, machine gun fire (BAR Sounds scary), three yanks right in my sights, i take them out, our position falls and we cant recap it seems, im the only one in that room.
Took out one more american and a second one got injured. A minute passed and americans started to flank me, silly BAR ran out of ammo and got killed by a Thompson dude.
Then i think we had to retreat to our mega fortress "Alt-Moabit Hotel", we had two more positions, a big open area wich would become a killing ground for Shermans and the Moltke Bridge, just a few meters from the Reichtag, sadly, off map.

So, you spawn outside the Hotel and the fighting for it, was brutal, a massacre, bloodbath, whatever you wanna call it. I tried to delay their advance, as i didnt know that it would be a fortress too hard to capture. Got killed soon by some Rifleman. Nothing much happened for 15 minutes, as our MG gunners were keeping the enemy away from the hotel and the Shermans were acting as arty. I found a nice spot in a corridor, behind some barricade. Sat there for the entire battle, with my K98, took out like 15 enemies, i had to replace my K98 for a Garand. Held the position for more time, as my companion helping me died because he was taking coffee. A Wave of Americans showed up! Like 5 of them, boom boom took out two before the "pin" of the Garand, a third escaped, three came rushing at me, dropped a nade at them BOOOOM more kills, then another guy that was like "Hi" and died. Then some MG Gunner killed me, wich i couldnt even see.
After a long fight we lost the Hotel to the Americans, but they were too weak by the assault of the big open field, after like 3 minutes of intense and bloody fights, we won the battle. I got like 35 Kills, never got so many in a RO game...
Special thanks to Rawhide for reminding me that i have such awesome game in Steam!
