Title: Your epic fail in FH1/FH2!
Post by: Kwiot on 13-01-2011, 17:01:40
This topic is about times in FH1/2 you didn't rather feel 'proud', or perhaps simply awesome.  ;D

So, I can remember 2 situations from FH2:

1. My brother was driving Matilda and I decided to repair his tank. I got into 2nd tank's position and chose mine instead of wrench. I clicked quickly LPM as I used to do it... I didn't realise that I had just put a mine - I thought it was rather impossible when you are in tank (you know I was in the 2n position). And when my brother moved we simply blew up!  ;D

2. Well, I've decided to learn flying using joystick in FH2. And sometimes I made mistake with buttons on my joystick - when I was on airfield in Stuka (before taking off), I decided to change bombs... And I pressed "release bombs" button... -_-'

 ;D

FH1, Pegasus Bridge, axis.

I was alone in a building on the axis side of the bridge, north of the road. (This building is also a spawn point.) An allied player has gotten to the end of the bridge and was hiding to cap the flag. I tried to throw a nade at him out my window. Missed and it bounced back and fell at my feet. "Great," I thought, "now I'm dead." Just then I heard that distinctive FH1 pinging sound, and 6 teammates spawned around me...

THere are only two servers lol 762 and HSLAN.

Well I had a similar one to the stuka accident.
It was on PR and I accidentally dropped bombs instead of switching weapons. (I just reconfigured my joystick).

I was like meh I never wanted to play on your server anyway. -_-

If you are driving in a vehicle/tank and press J K or L to chat the vehicle keeps driving. I often make use of that - its relaxing and i can do other stuff with my hands (not what you think). - But if you dont pay attention you have a problem.
Happened with a fully loaded panther on Falaise and i drove into the river. my team was pretty pissed.

Trying to kill a tank with the PIAT and hitting a flagpole instead killing yourself and your friend.


Actually, I don't even remember if it was I who used the PIAT or was I the one standing next to the gunner.

Last corridor, I have a clear shot on the PIV with the sherman, but all I hit is a gerry running by... The gerry falls dead, but the PIV returns fire before I can reload ... :P

I gathered my squad and made for a flanking attack in an APC.
We had a really good drive and nobody noticed us, the MG position was the only seat still free and all seemed to go really well...then with about 100m to go until we reach the flag and cover, I spot a Sherman off to the left quite a way away and voip to the guys that a tank is on our left and that I will try to sneak us into the flag from the back...

Now guess what happened next...

Roger that, you're right, one of my squad jumps to the MG position and opens up on the Sherman, which then notices us and then kills us with one shot. Everyone dies and a critical flag, that would have stopped the bleed, is not taken.

Epic fail.  :'(

I think I managed to surpass a Scotsman with my swearing after that... needless to say; the guy left the squad on his own. ;D

We were playing Luttich, and I found out that 2 guys in my squad were using VOIP. Between the 2 of them, our squad was putting up some solid defense, requiring at most 2 people a flag and holding the entire line by ourselves, and it was fun. Probably my first time playing with a VOIP team... I was only text-typing, but we did fine.

Then the Germans, frustrated by our squad level strong defense of the town, moved in force on the church. While the rest of the army was struggling with a diversionary German force and being useless, one VOIP leader got into the tower and begun informing us of the German movement. A little later the other must have also...

I didn't know he was there tbh, and I was in a tank (destroyer) - Sherman or Wolverine, not sure which. I noted movement in the church from the corner of my eye, as I cranked the turret around, I saw a German duck into the building, so I did the sensible thing: I fired HE - Then another HE, putting one through each opening I could because I figured Jerry had flanked and was camping in the church.

Well, I killed our man. Without even checking the kill messages for fear I'd be fausted, I kept firing. After something like 4 or 5 HE shots, I must have killed the 2nd guy too... Then I heard the radio crackling, and got one saying something that crackled too much to make out, but the other guy must have understood and replied with frustration 'god! its one of our guys! He's TKing us!'

I apologized profusely, and no one kicked me out or anything, but I had totally lost the respect of the team

And what's more, the German in the tower survived my shooting and capped the church, opening a corridor for his side, and forcing us to displace :-(

Yup, I got the Ju fail once too... I think I forgot to restore my keys to my custom settings and it was still set to joytick or whatever 1.5 made default. So I went to full throttle and drove into the sea killing all onbaord. Got a nice 'Idiot' text afterward. good times :-D

I recently jumped in a truck on lüttich and didn't notice that i just became squadleader of a full squad- i drove the truck right to the farm just to fuck around a bit with the gerries ( i often do senseless stuff like that i don't know why..that's why my death rate is always so high :D ) so i was just screwing around and did not see that my whole squad just spawned in the truck and eagerly begged me to stop the truck in a safe spot..guess what i did...reputation as SL lost forever  :o

Just made three accidentally TKs on Sfakia with the good damn British phosphor smoke grenades  ::)
Who invented this crap, the German one does better smoke and is non lethal as well !

The first even was a double TK with one smoke nade. I was near the townsquare flag, saw a lot of enemys, yelled "charge" and threw a smoke nade to the front. Sadly my squad members charged the same moment and died two seconds later from my smoke grenade, because both got wounded a second before by a enemy grenade or something.

The next time I spawned on another flag, I heard shoots whizz by from behind so I turned and shot without seeing an enemy, just to make anyone who might be there maybe take cover, and then threw a smoke nade behind me after some hectic running around, just hoping not to die. Sadly I had first hurt a squad member with my unaimed shot and then killed him off with the smoke nade in the face ::)

Thank god such horrible accidents happen only once a while ;D

Exactly the same thing happened to humbug and me while operating a Grant on Gazala. We were damaged and I switched to the 3rd position to repair it. I too accidently clicked on the mine instead of the wrench and I saw it dropping through the engine compartment. Not sure what would happen, I told Humbug on TS NOT to move while I would disarm the mine. But like always Humbug being Humbug he did move and we blew up.

So actually we both failed  ;D.

Often when not SL'ing I find myself scouting alone deep in enemy territory, spotting, making mischief! Trololo  :D
On the flags that you can cap alone, I have a habit  of planting Smines to cover my ass. As soon as the flag greys you know the foe will be running in trying to find you and.....boom = profit! ;D

So I did this a few times last night, only to find after I cunningly deployed aforementioned Smine tactics.. hoards of friendly troopers arriving and boom = loss!  :-[  :'(   Frantically typing "SMINE NEAR CHURCH FLA...." boom you tk'd xyz

My Tk's from this were in double figures  - epic fail, much grrrrumble! ::)

I tend to teamkill people when they spawn on me when I'm sl with a piat. Happened last night instantly when a mate spawned and it has happened also before. Those who are my victims usually don't even have chance to make one step before they are dead.

Oh, wait I remember one fail  ::)

It was St. Lo, I was SL and sitting in a Sherman infront of Chateau. I asked Beaver to lurk around me and warn me from Panzerfausts. As soon as I said this I only heard: "PANZERFAUST, PANZERFAUST, PANZERFAUST, behind you!!!" with his squeezy voice. Like allways (he does this quite often) I gave a shit about him. Sadly this only time he was right.
I was forced to hear this all night long then  >:(

In was on Luttich, I was in US team, and I was hidding in hedgerows near town from US side. I spotted a german with a Bazooka how was walking between town and hedgerows, he was about at 100m from me. I started to shoot him, I missed all my shots and he noticed me after the fourth shot, he returns and shoot me with the bazooka... grr I hate Garand.

the same thing hapened to me with the BAR on PHL, he was walking in fields with a MP40 and I open fire, he was at about 200m, so not so far. I try to shoot like in 2.26(so only one shot, like semi-auto) never able to hit him, and he dives and kill me with his MP40 at about 150m...

Fail almost always ensues when tank hunting.

Dropping a Geballte Ladung on a tank, but a bit too short: the tank dove away, the Geballte dropped on the ground and blew up almost the entire squad I was in.

Equipping the Panzerfaust for a Sherman that was camping outside my bush. Stood up and moved to the back of the tank (I think this was on Villers) . I wanted to kill it so bad, that when the tankw as finished camping and drove away, I followed it on foot. The tank went straight over open ground and I was running behind it. Suddenly I got shot. In my deathscreen I saw the tank getting killed by a tank of our team and I thought: "Yay, no death for nothing!" seconds later I saw an enemy entering my deathscreen, picking up my Faust and kill our tank...

Lest we forget my fail with the Geballte Ladung during Operation Hyacinth during the first Forgotten Honor Campaign. Was on top of the water tower in the western flag of the city, everybody was spamming me with over the chat but also over Teamspeak that we had a large number of Tommies in our flagzone.

Said and done, I dropped the Ladung.

5 x Teamkills

I still, to this day, wonder how the hell that flag got gray and my Ladung got zero kills but still five teamkills...

painful ?  ;D

I never dare to use knifes against repairing tankers if I see one, because just in case there are lag or what he could easily press E and HE me.


For my epic fails one of them must be managing to get a very long range kill on a moving target(tank) in FH1 (and I'm not using things like panther/tiger which are insanely accurate) but actually it is a teamkill... That often happens, I don't think I have broken that range record after that.

(it is because the target looks soooo small and fuzzy ... I just shoot, and he dies)

but in general I have way more proud moments than fail moments in my FH1 career. I was a player to be feared :p



btw, talking about failure of the others, I always remember once on Mersa Matruh, we have only like 3-4 guys in a team, one guy is manning the LeFH in the main base, and I'm cruising in the city with my pzII, that guy, somehow, he don't have any artillery spots at all, bored enough, blind fired, and TKed me.

The odds is about that suddenly you get hit by space debris in the minute after you have read this.

One thing, though, is universally true, that friendly fire is always the most accurate.

Defending a house with 3 other guys and some nasty german deployed his machine gun (mg42) right behind our back, No one of use did spot him, until he opend fire. a masive slaughter.

a Nother of my epic fails was when I played the yanks on Point du hoc. I was squadleader and got a flametrower. afther the fist line of bunker where taken by oure team, whe movend to the next flagzone ( the Farm). before I entered the building someone opend fire on me. so I ran quickly in the builden to avoid being hit. whe in was inside, in turend my flametrower to the door and fired so that he had to take a nother route. At that moment I fired a team mate got spawned in front of me. so I made a teamkill, to make the matters wurse, That teammate was standing very close tot me at that moment, and the flames killed me to.

Just now I got kicked off hslan.

I had been throwing satchels on the Tiger which was in the main street of Tilly sur Seulles. Two had been blown off already and after a respawn, we capped the flag and I went on satcheling. I had already equipped and armed my satchel when a piat blew up the Tiger. I threw my satchel anyway, because I didn't know what to o with an armed one at that oment. BOOM, blew up 4 guys at least. Kick.

HSLAN just a while ago. I was next to Villers in my trusty Achilles when a german grenade rolls to my side and I just immediately react by clearing the nearest house on my left with some HE ammo. 3 TK's and 'ooops, sorry' followed by some nice comments from teammates. We almost lost Villers just because of that. Not that epic, but damnit, I should know better.

Anyway, my first fail happened recent.
I was playing battle of Brest coop, and in one alley, there were two Germans hiding. So i decided to throw a grenade. Sadly it bounced and it killed two of people on my side. I think one was in my fireteam  :-X

Well my biggest fail was 2 weeks ago, flying the Stuka in Crete. After an unsuccesfull attempt bombing the bofors east i was heading back to main to rearm, coming from the south and hitting the brakes. The moment i was about to touch down 4 germans spawned and ran towars the junkers, i tried to pull up but my engine nearly shut down. They all epicly died under my wings and wheels. It was on 762 and i remembered the auto bann for +-- players. Luckily nothing hppened but it was quite a fail.

2e wass yesterday in Rammelle. Having the Sherman at our last 50 tickets i decided to suicide rush a flag. Firstly i saw what i though a german running towards us, i shot and killed 2 teammates. Later on in my rush i fired HE, killing the same teammates again + 2 of their squadmates.
I ended up killing 20 enemys that rush but having killed 6 teammates within 2 minutes....sucks 8)

A few nights ago on WaW we played Lebisey 16 and I was on the German side, I took the PaK 40 and hit it in some bushes to spam HE into the town when the Brits started taking flags. I was a bit drunk but that's no excuse. Even with constant checks of my minimap I somehow managed to get teamkill after teamkill, even when I'd seen a Brit running into a building and had checked and saw no Germans in it. Just the way the shells were falling. After a while someone on my team teamkilled three guys and himself with a grenade, and a guy in my squad said 'I bet that makes you feel better'. I said that it did, and my next PaK round killed two teammates.

At this point I was 2nd on the team in points, with 34.. and right next to it, under teamwork points, was -33 :D. So I ditched the PaK, threw a smoke grenade into the little blown up house, jumped in and thought about what I'd done for a few minutes and got no kills the rest of the round because I was scared to shoot anything.

 Playing the massive 236 server the other week was epic for the major failures commited by all.

While on the kick-ass Ramelle with ~140 players, one mass tk by the German Tiger camper at the Bridge area was sufficient to turn an American loss into a pretty strong win for our side.


 Most of my fails happen in planes as 2.4 gave me zero control over flying, so I now resort to Kamikaze tactics.

Playing Sidi Rezegh on hslan last night, me & my squad were defending the blockhouse from the german team when I got killed. Respawned at the nearest brit main with a squad mate and hopped in a bren carrier to get back to blockhouse. On the way we spot a kubel lulz squad that had been driving around mining unsuspecting tanks, so I say to my driver go! go! go! I'll shoot the buggers before they get another one!

Cue benny hill music and kubel driving round in circles with a bren carrier chasing it. Could I hit them? Could I F***, in my frustration I went to reload manually with the R key and hit the E key instead *facepalm* Left in the middle of the desert with a kubelwagon followed by a bren carrier dissappearing into the fog of FH with me on voip yelling wait! stop! I..uh..Fell out, come back and get me!

fail to hit an enemy 5 meters from me with 5 shots well aimed but managed to TK someone 500 meters away with one shot poorly aimed. Always happens. Now I am reluctant to fire at distant targets.

Happend like two days ago on an almost empty server on Villers Bocage. I was about to leave the Point 213 after a hard fight to lead into a fast counter attack with the Schwimmwagen. While leaving the area I noticed a Whilly Jeep flanking me through the hedges so I decided to return. I started to hunt down the Whilly while a squadmate spawned on me and opened fire with the attached MG. It was a funny pursuite like in a action movie and I called my Squadmates over VOIP that an enemy jeep was incoming. A friend of mine, who is quiet new to the game and got the Tiger in his hands said only "roger that" over Skype and the Jeep crossed the way behind him. I made the fault and crossed the Tiger infront with full speed. My friend in the Tiger was just like "Mhhhhhh, that must be the enemy jeep" and blasted our "Jeep" with a damn good aiming and fast reaction  ;D

teamkills are always with most precision and fastest reflex, it happens all the time.

There is always a dilemma, when you see a teammate aiming at you 5 meters away, stood still or hit the dirt? If I stand still, sometimes he proceed on firing at me, if I hit the dirt, he sometimes either shoots me or lob a grenade at me...

Hehe, those moments are funny. Two guys from the same team facing and aiming at each other, bit unsure whether the should shoot or not. Funny are those guys who are firing at you after you considered him to be a friend and not a foe and keep going on, and then they miss the first two or three shots and then team kill you.  ;D

Oh man, I almost don't want to post this because ragequits are embarrassing, but I had an hour to kill today before I head back out and thought I'd have a quick round of FH. Joined near the end of Port-en-Bessin with Vossenack next. Hopped in an M10 and crawled along the northern side of the map, zipping in and out of cover. Someone in a StuG had gotten 4 kills with one shot early on so I had my eyes peeled for German armor, when I heard an engine.

I checked my cover, which was pretty good, and scanned the horizon. I saw the StuG.. and a Panther.. and a Jagdpanther. All three in a neat little line, and all three moving across my screen from left to right, begging to be knocked out. My eyes were like moons and with HVAP already loaded, I hit x to go into the gunsight, and the dirt mound in front of me was a millimeter too high for me to get the shot off. I made a mess of backing up and it took me a good five seconds to retrain my aim. The German armor was still moving along nicely.. I trained my sights on the Panther, and the Jagdpanther, for no apparent reason, stopped, turned, and killed me, in the space of about one second.

It was one of those irritating deaths, where a great opportunity has been wasted, and you feel like shit for being so useless you let it happen. I hadn't been all that interested in Vossenack with 18 people online anyway, and if that was how my luck was going to go I thought I'd bail out and wait for tonight on WaW to try again.

Hehe, I think I was your SL on this round at Vossenack. This was a match, where nothing worked together. The guy who drove the Halftrack infront of the StuG was my TS mate. I told him to take the northern route to not get shot by the StuG spawning at Kall Trail, but ... you know the rest of the story. I had some very strange situations on this map. A Panther was attacking us at Kall Trail. My before mentioned TS mate got a Jeep and I told him to pick us up there and bring us out of danger to the church flag. What is he doing? - He picks me up and droves along the side of the Panther into the open field behind Kall Trail, where a StuG was waiting for us and the Panther still suppressing us. I would have liked to kick him out of the squad for this shit, but we all have some stange moments I think.
Another strange moment was my attack with an M10 at Unterdorf. I load my special ammo ready to kill the Panther, that was standing on the mainroad well aiming for a weakspot. He was standing with the front to me, but it still should have been an easy kill with the tank destoyer. But the first shot bounces off. Second shot penetrates but doesn't kill him - he is burning and trying to flank me. I noticed this - thanks to good spotting - and killed him frontaly with my last special ammo shot. Three HVAP shots on a Panther WTF?!?!?!
After this and several other kills there was a StuG attacking me frontaly. Also easy kill I thought. I had alot of situations before, where I was able to penetrate a StuG frontaly with a tank destroyer. But this time I only shot him burning and he killed me. Just a match where a lot of bad luck came together. The guys in the other team were my other TS mates - 8 eyes see more than 2 and communications is everything in this game. This explains your situation with the Panther. I got a warning for flaming in my TS channel btw and was near to rage quit like you ;D

Tunis, HSLAN

You know that doorway right after the first flag directly in the British way, the one that leads straight to the mg at the docks?

Well, we were stuck behind that doorway, facing nadespam from unseen Brits and rifle shots once we stick our heads out, so i thought I'd throw a nade over the wall.

I aim up and am about to release when I hear a bang from a grenade, and the concussion plus the sound cause me to miss my aim slightly...

the grenade went straight up and came back down. I called out 'Take cover'... but whoever listens to that?

I scored 5 TKs and was instantly kicked from the server for 'having a negative score'...

Whenever I walk into one of steiner-I-cross's AP mines right after he warned us about 'em.

He drops some everytime we get into a house and bunker up inside (which happens several times per round when you're in this guy's squad), and yet I never remember to check around for mines.

A victory that felt like a fail - last night, WaW, Port-en-Bessin. About 35 people online, and I'm on the German team. My squad and most of our team are getting terrorized by a Sherman camping out at the church flag. We lost and retook Church several times, but the Sherman was always nearby, and getting a ton of kills. Someone Geballted it but it was only wounded, and it got repaired and soon returned to camp at the Church.

I'd had a few drinks and amused myself by wondering who was going to be the hero that finally took out that damn Sherman, because we were seriously fast approaching 30 minutes of the same tank, destroying our chances of defending church and the tank itself had enough inf cover no one could get near it. The Germans were doing a great job at holding the flag, and retaking it when they lost it, but there was no way we were winning that round until someone took out that Sherman. The faust in the trench was always gone and the guys trying to use it died before they could get the shot off. In my rum-soaked brain I was laughing at how whoever it was that got rid of this Sherman was going to have his name written in stone in WaW history. I'd killed a few British inf but we were being pinned down by Bren carriers near the Sherman who was just north east of the church, when I remembered the faust at Shipyard.

I ran through the field, and luckily the faust there spawned just as I was approaching the box it's on. I grabbed it, headed back through the fields, and dove down into the trench. Prone, I crawled along the trench, heading north, and reached the part where the trench heads off left towards the church and widens in a sort of cul-de-sac. I switched from rifle to faust, because I could hear the Sherman's engine and its MG clattering away. Quick look around and I stood up, crouching, and saw the Sherman. It had been firing into the church from the east, but it was reversing slowly. The tank was much further away from me than I had expected, and I wasn't at all convinced the faust could reach it. I got as close as I could without leaving the trench, stood up, went into ironsights, aimed a good 2-3 times higher above the tank than the height of the tank itself, lead it just a little bit (it was still reversing), and fired.

My faust flew through the air and hit the Sherman in the tracks; barely a foot further away from me, and the tank would've been fine. My faust would have fell to the ground harmlessly between myself and the Sherman, but it was just inches close enough and I got the trajectory perfect. I hit right on two of the small wheels nearest the front of the tank. If I had been one meter farther away in-game, I wouldn't have hit it. Finally, that fucking Sherman was down, and I was feeling proud of myself. I hadn't done much that round, but I had managed to do what my entire team had failed to do for over 20 minutes. And no one cared. I typed 'Sherman down' into teamchat, and no one said a word. We capped church, the inf could now move up, the Bren carriers nearby were easily overwhelmed, and no one said anything. The only acknowledgement of my incredible victory was someone in my squad on his mic said about a minute later 'Oh, did somebody get that Sherman?, as if he was asking whether anyone knew if it was going to be sunny tomorrow.

I don't say this as a complaint, quite the opposite - serves me right for expecting blowjobs :D. True heroes desire neither notoriety nor recognition. It just made me laugh in game last night and even more now, I thought it was pretty funny. That round was really, really close last night but it went on for so long we eventually just called it a draw with 200 tickets left for both sides and went and did Vossenack.

I know the feeling

i managed to take out 3 tanks single-handed on Lebisey and expected something from my squad who had been screaming into VOIP and chat because they were being terrorized, but its like 'shiny objects'

they had moved away from trying to defend the road flag and moved torwards the East AT position, so my 3 tank kills with some Gabellte ladung and finally with shrek went totally unnoticed.

Yer, PeB must be the best made map imo. Battles can be SO epic.

In a desperate defensive move, I dared myself to run away from cover, charging towards an attacking tank, then throw a satchel on bot driven Panther tank. However the tank kept charging aimlessly into friendly defensive zone. None of my friends have AT kits nor run away from their cover, so the tank went through it and the satchel blew off, killing everyone around the tank, including my friends. Stupidest TK ever!

Round of cobra had just started and I was driving Pz4. My brother was flying FW190. I saw enemy plane and thought I'd try to shoot it down with my main gun. I took carefull aim, shot and missed. Unfortunately my brother was flying somewhere beyond fog, behind the enemy plane and my shot hit him. He didn't believe it was accident and he also didn't believe it really was enemy plane I was shooting at, he was certain that I was aiming him.  ::)

Thursday night on WaW. Alam Halfa 32. My brain was conveyed to the very brink of orgasm knowing how much fun I had last time I grabbed the only 6-pounder that's actually mobile at the Brit main (irritatingly it is also by a wide margin the farthest 6-pounder on the map away from the German lines, but whatever).

Spend five minutes rolling it along the south of the map. Shot by sniper. Spawn fast and drive back to it, turn it to face the direction the shot came from, then get out and hide behind the shield. Ten minutes of this and endlessly requesting a teammate in a tank just take two fucking seconds to look around my position and maybe nail the guy with the K98 ZF and I get killed by him again. 6-pounder blows up.

I keep an eye on the kill messages and sure enough, someone gets him thirty seconds after he killed me. Fine, that's cool, these things happen. I grab the arty kit as I usually do when cruisin' for bitches in my anti-tank gun and try one more time to drive it to where I want it to go. I now have 25 minutes of time invested into getting one little a/t gun to where I want it to go, but it will be worth it once I get it there. Last time I was on the map I did this (with no sniper interference) and killed something like 11 German tanks in 6 minutes.

Haven't driven the 6-pounder more than fifty feet outside our flag when a Panzer IV comes over a hill in the distance. The turret was turned sideways but it was driving straight at me. Fired - round didn't penetrate. Fired again - round didn't penetrate. Aimed for the turret specifically this time - round penetrates (got hit indicators). Fire again - hit indicators a second time, but the tank is still driving. Then he stops, turns to me, and kills me, in the space of about two seconds. At this point, I was starting to get a little frustrated.

I thought I'd give it one more try - spawned, grabbed the arty kit, got the 6-pounder. Took the longest possible route I could to avoid any sneaky backcappers, hugged the out-of-bounds line going south and then stuck to the edge of the minefield going west. Up over one hill, back down the other side, and I hear an MG34 clatter close by. Like 30 feet away. Then I hear two tank guns go off nearly simultaneously, and a third shortly after but a little further away. The time has come for action. I shift into 1st gear and roll over the hill and my eyes light up - a long-barrel Panzer IV, and three Panzer IIIs. All four tanks have their sides completely pointing at me, begging to be hit. All four turrets are pointed away from me, and none of the four tanks are driving. All four tanks are sitting there, still as death, plainly visible and all four are completely unaware that I'm there. I swing the 6-pounder to the Panzer III at the back of the pack and fire. Nothing happens. Then the tanks all jump about 10 feet to my right, but they're sitting still again. I re-aim, this time for the Panzer IV. I fire, and..

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR CONNECTION.

Better than me on Olympus a little while back, shooting a friendly Spitfire out of the air with the 2-pounder on my Matilda a few seconds after he'd shot down the Stuka. To be fair he was strafing me for no apparent reason, I looked up and reacted by a lucky shot firing him out of the air, but still.

My entire reaction time and spotting ability in a tank. Half the time, i find myself hit "out of nowhere" by an enemy tank.

Also, any time I just CAN'T RESIST being a paratrooper on Crete after we already have a base secure, often resulting in several 40mm Bofors shells being fired at my face, provided the Ju-52 survives at all.

I know what you mean, it's like you're playing five seconds behind everyone else in a tank. I'll edge out into a street on Eppeldorf and see no enemy panzers, and then continue to drive down the street and suddenly a wild Panther appears right in front of me, except that I saw it the second I looked down the road and my brain didn't register 'enemy' somehow. This is similar to the brain fails I have when I'm driving a tank and see an anti-tank gun in the distance, and then retardedly continue to drive right at it for several seconds before I suddenly come back to myself and try to take it out/take evasive action.

I'd say trying to fly a plane in FH2 is a neverending series of fails. Without a doubt, your typical pubby pilot is probably the most irritating kind of player in the game. I hardly ever fly but with 2.45 I thought I'd give it a spin in a few of the planes and it's an appalling experience. It is difficult to be patient with someone when you're standing in an empty hanger for five minutes with your pilot kit on, and someone runs up to you with a fucking MG42 and takes the plane when it spawns, but even that is almost better to being one of five guys standing where the Stuka should spawn, and you're the only one that doesn't know the exact pebble and blade of grass to stand on to make sure you get into it first.  Everyone standing there, letting the tension rise between each other, who will get it first.. what a bunch of shit. Who will get into the plane first should not be at all part of the excitement. Server rules don't matter, they aren't enforced unless you're lucky enough to have an admin waiting for the same vehicle.

Assuming you even get into the air, I suppose theoretically fun can be had, but I haven't had any yet. Reasonably this is much more my own lack of skill, though I do suspect there is an awful lot of people upping their mouse sensitivity to make the dickheads that can send King Tiger turrets spinning like ballerinas look like fair players. It's also a bit of a kick in the nuts that the guy you addressed (by name) when you were standing on the airfield on Totalize, he ran up to you with a fucking PIAT and took the plane, conveniently doesn't understand English.. until some other player asks if he played Red Orchestra too and he tells long boastful stories of his shit behaviour in that game too.

If you want to be your team's pilot for a couple rounds, no problem. If you want to be either teams pilot for all round, every round, then on behalf of every other person to ever play this mod, FUCK YOU AND LEARN TO SHARE.

Well yesterday I encountered a fail, that resulted in my dead, but certainly was not my fault.

Giarabub, I was brit and going from forest/oasis to castle, from the collapsed part on wall. I notice there were s-mines all over the place. I started carefull crawl past them and I was almost through, when I saw friend running at me. I spammed No, No, No, Retreat, No, with voice command, but he just kept coming. He hits the first mine and I didn't die, I had crawled far enough from it! The the ragdoll of that player came down right next to me and triggered mine much closer to me and I died  ::).

Playing Falaise Pocket on WaW, the server nearly full for a change. Germans took the first two flags fast, then the second two flags even faster - we were down to just Lambert North and Mortar Battery, both cappable, and the tickets were around 650 for Canada and 450 for Germany, with Canadians bleeding badly. We said in team chat we were going to hold them at all costs, even though the mortar and artillery spam was horrendous, even for Falaise. Horstpetersens got 114 kills, so you can well imagine what the last half an hour was like. At times, Lambert was greyed and occasionally captured, but we got it back. Had a few heart-stopping moments when Mortar Battery was greyed, but we never let them cap it. The Germans couldn't manage to grey both flags at the same time, which is what they needed to do to win (which is kind of ridiculous, surely they should have to cap both).

Wherever we saw Germans, we killed them. We patrolled behind Mortar Battery, killing squad leaders. We S-mined paths and stopped Germans from getting behind us. The German tickets were falling achingly slow. 400.. 300.. 200.. 100.. we were going to do it. It was beyond a shadow of a doubt the single most impressive defense of a pair of flags that I can remember seeing in now 8 months of FH2. 50 tickets.. 40 tickets.. 30 tickets.. we won.

Oh wait, no, a tank drove up, shit out four infantry, greyed Mortar Battery and the Germans won 16-0.

Yesterday on +64 server on Totalize:

I was flying the Typhoon and actually doing well in it, blowing up several Panthers and Tigers as well, when I was suddenly hit by a FW-190 and started burning. I was like: "Screw you, plane, I'm outta here!"
Managed to bail out succesfully, but had no pilot kit. Luckily I landed in the river. Apparently as I hit the water surface, it didn't register, so I was floating on the surface but still kept falling, making my swimming painfully sloooooow.. And when I got to the shore, it was literally touch'n'die.

Shortly after (or was it before, can't remember, doesn't matter) I landed the Typhoon on the runway on the opposite side from the plane spawn. I repair and rearm, when i see Odium jumping into the Spitfire. I immediately thought that he's not gonna make it over the Typhoon I just landed there. Then same thought process as above (Screw you, plane, I'm outta here) occured, and I bailed my aircraft.

Now, many people on this community know that when you bail a tank or a plane you end up on top of the said vehicle. I didn't remember that. I turned out that the Spitfire gets up in the air fast enough to clear the Typhoon with no problems. However, if you add approx 1.8m tall player on top of the Typhoon, he doesn't clear you. So I ended up with my head chopped off by Odiums propeller.

Not my fail, but my opponent's one.

When i'm low on ammunition and i got many teammates around me, i always sacrify myself when we see a tank by charging it with Pistol/SMG (whatever you want ^^), like in private ryan. I often die, but this time...

A panzer IV was firing on me but as he was in AP, he can't fire HE...i avoided all his mg bullets, and then he ceased fired (while i was in front of him firing with thompson^^) to change ammo...he knows that i can't do anything and he was the master for this one...and then a Zooka saved my live =D

A few days ago on Villers Bocage. I spawn on the SL in Villers Bocage town as Engineer, on the top floor of a building. I look out of the window and there is a Panther below us, standing right next to the wall of the building. I thought I am supercreative and put out my explosives. The window was one without wooden crossbar and I threw it through the window... nearly. I blew up the whole squad which was lonely in Villers, with no other squad leader around and the team did not have the Point 213 flag, so the whole attack on Viller Bocage failed.

After that I was taught that there is an invisible wall which makes it impossible to throw the explosives out of the window, it's like throwing it against a wall. Lesson learned ;D

If we're reporting other player's fails, playing Meuse as American on the 130 server, at Sawmill when a Panther and a hanomag drive up from the direction of their main to retake the flag (we had capped it a minute earlier). The Panther and hanomag drive right towards the flagpole, in a perfect spot to be ambushed by the two panzerfausts teammates had liberated. Both player step out of cover, aim, fire, and.. blow up the half-track.

The Panther then killed us all and capped the flag.

-Trew a grenade on assaulting mussoline plaza, the grenade bounched against a wall, killing 3 teammembers
-Saw 2 german soldiers. machinegunned them with the vickers. Did this again with another one but 2 teammembers where behind him....
-Grabbed the stuart, did an amazing assault on mussolini plaza. Fired a HE shell against incoming german forces...i overshot and hitted a building, containing a friendly squadleader and 1 other teammate.

Just now, on 762 Op. Goodwood. I was playing german, and at Grentheville, in the midst of an assault, I passed a guy with a Schreck. That guy was a limey, which I didn't notice, until too late. panicked, dived and opened fire my head.

Post by: CHRISTIEFRONTDRIVE on 17-09-2012, 04:09:09
Not really my fail, but on Hurtgen on the 200 server. I grabbed a StuG and killed a whole lot of nothing for about five minutes, until a bazooka round narrowly zoomed over my head, shot from maybe 100m away across the field, in the woods. A second shot from that general direction missed wildly, but a third was on the money and I was at about 60% health. I began to fall back, but blew up before I could discharge smoke. I assumed it was the same guy that hit me earlier, but I couldn't understand how he'd killed me if the best he could do was 40% damage with a hit to the front.

As I saw in the 3rd person death cam immediately after I died, I had actually been killed by a zook from behind (evidently someone'd snuck into the outskirts of Germeter), but as the guy behind me ran away from my destroyed StuG, he was nailed by a zook round from the original guy shooting at me way off in the woods. It was a perfect hit.

We did an excellent job defending Germeter for 800ish US tickets, only for them to cap us out with 26 US tickets while we had 950, leading ultimately to a 13-0 American victory.

Today I shot a P-47 that passed low over me on Cobra. I was in a Panzer IV. I got a red hitmarker, the P-47 started smoking. So my 75mm shell bounced off the  P-47. Damn you, sloped armor! >:/


20 minutes before that I drove right around and behind (1 meter) a Sherman 76 and shot it with my Panther. Into the rear of the turret. It bounced off. It was my 2nd hit on that tank. The sherman burned and kept firing.

I know, I need to learn to aim. *waves at ciupita* :)

Man I hope the devs fix the angle mod so that ridicules do not happen anymore in the new patch... I'm ok with my shots bouncing off or not penetrating occasionally on 150-200 m but if I'm up your ass and you just turn around and one shot me? It's just bovine excrement...

I think AP shot damage against plane is reduced a lot even without sloped taken into account. Afterall, it's just one hole it makes. Nothing too bad unless it driectly hits pilot or engine.

In other words, you are not going to one shot plane with AP at any angle and you are not supposed to.

I usually use HE to fire at planes if I'm in a tank, it seems more effective. Of course you have to compensate for high shell drop, but it doesn't make it so much more difficult it's worth trying your luck with AP.

Whole round of Villers Bocage on 762 was a fail today:

- drove 6-pounder for nearly 10 minutes and then hit a hedge and rolled over. I was so depressed I didn't bother to bail out and died.
- drove it back where I was going and got shot out of it halfway there.
- grabbed a Cromwell and waited in ambush for enemy tanks, and got shot the second I lept from cover by a tank I didn't see following the StuG I wanted to kill.
- grabbed the 6-pounder again and finally made it to the spot I wanted to get to, to blast German armor crossing one of the little bridges. I shot a Panzer IV four times and it still didn't die, and then someone else shot it and got the glory.
- I heard the Tiger and loaded APDS, but somehow missed the first two shots, point-blank. Missed by a mile. Hit with the 3rd (last APDS shot) then a Sherman finished off the Tiger. Again no kill.
- Saw two tanks coming down the road, about to get blasted by my AT gun. I fired one shot, but was shot by infantry in the back. In death cam I see a Panther, two Panzer IVs and a StuG drive right through my trap.
- Respawned and grabbed the Cromwell, attempted to circle around a Tiger to kill it, but I got it burning and then drove into a tree and was shot.
- Had the Firefly once, killed a Panzer IV but was immediately geballte'd.
- Finally grabbed a Sherman and drove to Tilly (currently grey) while I lit a cigarette. Somehow, there were Germans everywhere. Fausts, schreks, geballtes, I was just running around for a good five minutes firing HE into windows and killing Germans. Three times I tried to bail to repair, but each time I was fired on by small arms fire before I could get much wrenching done (especially annoying when you bother to fire smoke for cover). My ping was jumping between 150-800 during this stretch too, so I looked like an idiot firing smoke shells at infantry and whatnot because my connection was so fucked up it took a few shots for the game to realize I switched ammo. I managed to kill a fuckload of enemies just in that one Sherman rampage despite the connection problems, but I felt bad as it was the same 3-4 dudes over and over again. I just wanted to cruise around smoking but I just raged about connection problems, and then got fausted :D.

The only real good moment was blowing up Moose's squad. I don't know what they were doing, I heard them drive past me but didn't want to give away my position, then I forgot about the half-track (no idea how many people were in it), and then I heard it coming back, and it was driving right through the middle of the field I was in. I don't know how they didn't see me :D. It was too tempting not to shoot:

The crossed flags only indicate that is not possible to convert those flags, but players can still walk there and kill each other. The only areas in FH2 where you arent allowed to be, is inside the ABC area, and there you die after 10seconds from the game.

Yes Natty, we know that and have discussed it with all length now in 2 other threads. :)
I think someone just wanted to make a little trouble that evening and was surprised that he really got a little trouble when asking for it (ignoring server rules + at least 2 ingame chat warnings before kick).
The epic fail lies in that I meant. I'm not trying to derail this thread *zips lips now*. All good here. :)

In this way someone can take Sherman 76mm on St.Lo and easily baserape axis main (this flag where all armor spawn).

Of course he can, this is battlefield.
Dont know that specific situation, but if there is a problem, please post  here:
http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=11752.30

we cant expect people to "behave" under certain unwritten "rules",, then you don't have a game anymore, then you just have something else. like a private "lan party" or something.

things like this needs to be fixed by design, not rules.

God! This is supposed to be a fun thread. Let people have their opinions already. Its a really subjective topic, not a platform to clarify gameplay in FH! Sheesh!

OT, yer, the epic fail of tossing a grenade out a window or attempting to put one through a window is quite common to me. I also experience the grenade thrown at an unseen enemy pinning down my squad only for a teammate or sqquad members to get up all of a sudden and charge at my nade.

"Get down!" doesn't seem to stop em either.
I guess its part of natural selection

Today on 762, Totalize started. I ran to get the Cromwell VI and got connection problems instead, and only a normal Cromwell was left when things got back to normal. The round was off to a good start. I jumped into it and figured I'd make a run at Flak Battery, and as I was driving in that direction I saw hyperanthropos in the Achilles driving the other way. I did the usual tip of the hat tankers do, rattling a small burst of co-ax fire off the other tank as you pass, only I managed to kill him through the open top. Taking at least a little solace in knowing it wasn't some random noob in the Achilles that was going to get me kicked or go batshit insane, I thought I'd just keep the proverbial seat warm until he got back.

After a rare real-life facepalm, I apologized and jumped into the Achilles, trying to drive it back to Hyper when he respawned. I roamed around both mains looking for him and telling him to come get his tank back in teamchat, until I noticed he got teamswitched. Now feeling like even more of a dick, I reluctantly drove off with the Achilles, turret turning even slower than usual with all the guilt that had been piled on top of the blood and the guts, feeling a bit like I imagine you would if a friend died and left you a car in his will, and you'd been banging his wife for the past 10 years. Some twat was destroying our own vehicles in the main and damaged the Achilles into the red, so I bailed and repaired. I got back in, and within five seconds had rolled the Achilles over when I optimistically tried to drive down a hill at full speed without slowing down. I was killed because I couldn't bail out. Feeling exceptionally stupid by this point, I hung out in the main for five minutes, thinking about what I'd done :D.

Haha, TC, you should check out the Giarabub map for sure. Pick Italians. You will see that:
- the static camels
- the fact that they bleed, and
- that the standing ones don't fall down

all aren't a joke. Really.

The one that sticks out the most in my mind was back in FH1 on Gazala (I think I'm remembering the right name). I was manning a british tank on the right side of the map, guarding the western approach to the middle spawn point, at a bridge that crosses a deep crevice. There was another british tank also guarding that bridge. We had been doing great, tearing up tank after tank that would try to assault. The other guy had been hit a number of times and was smoking, so I pulled up onto the bridge behind him and got out of my tank in order to repair his. When I exited the tank, I plummeted off the bridge and to my death 300 feet below.

My epic fail is just my attitude recently. My $150 headset/mic is ruined, my back-up headphones died, my keyboard is fucked. My video card is dying, so the graphics glitches that crash me to desktop that used to only happen on Totalize and Cobra now happen on 3 out of 4 maps. The biggest hassle is sharing wireless internet, which means my ping bounces up to 500 from 170 two or three times every minute and I have been averaging 3 disconnects per map until the house is empty.

No one gives a shit obviously, but I post it here because it's so frustrating it makes me act like a twat to noobs. I was teamkilled over 30 times today, and I counted 24 by players who's names I didn't recognize and were privates. But instead of just being cool and encouraging new players like I try to usually I was just a giant dick to all of them and I feel bad about it. So if any new players read this don't take anything personally! It's just for some people the hardest part of FH2 is getting the tank/weapon you want, while others have to break their fingers they cross them so hard just to even get ten minutes' gaming in before they can even worry about getting their hands on dat Firefly, so when you are halfway through manual-powering a grenade into a room you just saw five enemies run into, and you get teamkilled by a guy who just followed you halfway across the map and don't even get a sorry, sometimes you get a lot more assholeish than is called for.

Today on the St. Lo Map, I log in and spawn at base. Walk around to check for any arty kits. Was about to go into a halftrack when a see a guy TK Sirkrys on the mortar. When I walk up there, Sirkrys respawns, takes out a knife and tries to stab me. I try to type that I wasn't the guy who TKed him, but it was too late. Sirkrys realizes he messed up and apologizes.

Lesson learned: Don't get involved in TK drama.

The epic fail of every British player on Olympus, ever: mine all entrances to Monastery with no flags and nothing in chat, effectively trapping the Matilda in there.

My epic fail: not realizing for 10 months that gap in the wall I've run through a billion times is wide enough to squeeze the Matilda through, so I don't actually need to use the real entrances to the flag anyway.

Today as the 128 server was winding down I was having great fun tank hunting on Luttich with the Greyhound. Me and Katakulli in the Puma killed each other several times. One time I spawned and someone else had the M8 so I grabbed the Stuart and set off intending to shotgun some krauts with the Canister Shot ammo. On the road to Farm I managed to kill a guy who had just bailed the Foot Stuka, when I saw hpfsroadrunner lying on the ground with a scoped G43.

Remembering earlier in the round when he had been surprised to find one on the map, and considering how far he was from the main and that sniper rifles are hard to get at the best of times, I looked at him in my gun sights for five seconds or so as he looked at me, and then I just spammed CHARGE! and drove past him. There was only about 12 players left on either side and the round was basically over. I thought it would be a nice thing to do, because at that point who gives a shit.

Apparently my squad did, since I had three of them yelling at me on mic for not killing him, and my good deed went completely unacknowledged by roadrunner or any other Axis players as far as I could see :D. So I told him next time I catch him "sniping" in the middle of the road, I'd turn him into cat food. Then the Panther found me..

New epic fail: for nearly a year I have been mildly annoyed that there is no *click* and little motion for the Beretta like other SMGs when you switch them to single shot. I like that on other guns because I can keep track mentally of which one I'm on, rather than looking at the bottom right of the screen. "Why don't they just fix that, it can't be that hard?" I thought to myself, time and time again when trying to snipe an enemy and unloading ten bullets of LOOK AT ME HERE I AM, or else preparing to blast an enemy squad and finding my gun lacking the ability to make more than one pew at a time.

The answer, of course, is that the Beretta doesn't have a switch. It has two triggers.

(http://world.guns.ru/userfiles/images/smg/smg89/beretta38-49.jpg)

I already knew this before playing FH2, and yet somehow it never clicked in my head and only occurred to me when playing Giarabub yesterday. Switching from single to auto on the Beretta no longer feels awkward.

This just happened 5 minutes ago.
No one else on the server, in the middle of the desert (Alam Halfa 64), don't feel like doing all the walking myself but there are no vehicles around. So, hold forwards key, press key to chat (starts autowalking), alt-tab out for 10 minutes... and I've walked off the map.
