I'm surprised this many people vote for the Italians. Their weaponry really sucks. E.g. the Breda can't be fired except when unfolded. The submachinegun's rate of fire is always defeated by the Thompson. And then you have that grenade that exploded on IMPACT instead of time which caused many a teamkill to the Italians. I remember my first time when I tried to 'bounce' the grenade out of a window. Did I mention their ugly and horribly underpowered and underarmoured 'tanks' yet? Everyone knows the Italians aren't exactly born fighters. They spend time flourishing their gardens and making silly hats, and flirting with women on the plaza. They don't really want to fight. Who would want to anyway with that great weather there? That's why they are defeated time after time. Like the French, who never won a war in their existence.

The Beretta happens to be the best SMG in FH2 right now. And it will be the best until PPSh and kp/31 are introduced. :P

Hey dude, do you know these dudes named Romans, they say they are from Italy and boy they sortof went like Hitler and shit. Only for a couple of centuries with total domination of the known world.

And do you remember the Franks? Yes, the old French. They kicked arse full time. Like professionals.

Ah what am I doing baiting a troll...

Anyway, Italy + France rock. France had the best tanks of the interwar period by far beating any other nation in design. They only used the wrong tactics. Plus their hinder was politics, agressive formation lay outs where politically incorrect. Italy had bad organization, bad funds, but good soldiers. Their morale dropped because their equipment sucked. Then you surrender.

If the maginot line was not build, things would have been far diffrent during WW2.

The amount of resources spended in it would have made France his army FAR and far larger and better equipped

Maginot line ruled, tad outdated but could do it's job very well.

Politics made it worthless with the open gap of Belgium. Why the Belgians didn't co-op with them and also made a wall and why the Dutch didn't think 'Oh shit then they'll get us too' and also made one. I don't know.. Political incorrect I guess.

France probably lost, to sum up some things, because ineffective tank cannons on most tanks, short barrelled 37mm is just not doing the job. Long barreled 47mm was a huge improvement but not enough of them around. Not enough medium/heavy tanks and all tanks where deployed wrong. Ineffective Maginot Line because of politics and not a large airforce to support the ground troops.

Our fortresses where not build for WW2. We all made mistakes. First of all, The Belgian goverment gave the order to a german company to build Eben Emaul. So ye, Germany knew everything about the fortress.

If the Fortresses did their job, they would have severly slowed down the germans. If the Maginot line stretched towards Belgium, and we Belgians did the same, it would have been far difficult for the germans.

The germans where very lucky aswel. Just as we attempt to blow up the Vital bridges, they knock out our cannon. When we sended 8 Fairy battle's to destroy the bridge, the germans JUST had aircover and AA fire.

We Lower countries dint do bad though. We Belgians lacked tanks. The Dutch, while very well motivated, dint had much equipment at all. And the French army dint had good communication and Tactics.

Still, we won the war in the end.Thats all that matters

I voted for Italians simply because playing as them is something new and refreshing and I'm finding lots of joy shooting with Carcanos and blasting aussies with those red devils. I'm so sick and tired playing as Americans and Germans, shooting with Thompsons and Garands which I have done last 8 years playing multiple different WWII war games. You can guess how disappointed I was when I read that Ardennes is going to be next theatre (well of course no _official_ answer yet) though I 100% understand the reason behind it.

I keep on hoping that someday I'll see the French forces in FH2, since they were my favourite in FH1 (just loved their rifle and tanks). And of course it would be great to see Finns and Huns as well.

incorrect.

If the germans knew everything they wouldn't have bothered blowing up dummies.

incorrect.

1)the Maginot line is one of the biggest waists of money in human history. I'm very happy my govnment didn't invest in it.

2) soldiers did their job in the fortresses. hollow charges where simply unknown and caused terror along the troops.

3) not every belgian surrendered a la eben emael.  Belgian fortresses were actually the best of their time, but a fortress was simply outdated.

The low countries missed a military tradition, witch also contributes to their failure. failure of france should infact be called failure of the allies in general, as france isn't the only one to blame.

Well, playing as Italians has style, their voices are awesome even though they are terribly wrong as pointed out by Italians. Their uniforms with feathers look awesome, freshly imported from Milan. But the best thing obviously is the weapon. The Breda although short on ammo is a very accurate ambush MG. I love it on Giarabub, lay on a corner and ambush sneaky Brits. The pistol is a great close quarters weapon, accurate and deadly, as is the SMG which is officially the best in game. The rifles have great sights which make them very easy to use, point and fire with alot of space to look at, though No4 sights are also very comfortable I don't really notice that anymore with the 3D sights so now I generally like the Carcano or M1 Carbine.

While I do like directly playing as Axis a bit more, I voted Aussies just because of their epic voice commands.
