Off-Topic / so I'm going to Germany...

« on: 28-03-2010, 19:03:53 »

...and I was wondering if any of you Germish know anything special I should take pictures of.
First, I will be landing in Munich and taking a tour of the city, and in the evening I will Visit Dachau. The next day I will go to Linderhof and Newschwanstein castles, and then some place called Oberammergau.
The next day I will visit Hitler's Berchtesgaden lair and visit Salzburg. There I'll tour a bit and visit Mozart's birth-place.
The next day I'll go to Rothenburg and visit the Silent Night church.
The day after that I will visit Heidelberg and the castle there.
Last day I'll visit Heiderberg and Frankfurt and return to GLORIOUS SOVERIGNTY OF MICHIGANIA.

So, Germish people, Is there anything special I should do in those places or something in particular I should take photos of? I want to make the most of my trip.

Off-Topic / Who says Americans are stupid?

« on: 21-03-2010, 20:03:36 »

In the dark, scary age of 2009, there came--a hero.

Yes, there came a man so manly that he robbed two convenience stores with a plastic Bat'leth Star Trek Sword.

Not only did he get so far as to robbing two stores with this toy, he got away with robbing the stores, period. He hasn't been found!

Off-Topic / Questions For A Veteran

« on: 17-03-2010, 23:03:06 »

I recently found out a veteran lived a mile or two away from my house that is still alive. He was a Sherman Tank commander during the war and if he agrees, I was going to interview him about his experiences. Does the community have any specific questions for him?

Modding / No Man's Land News: Mobile Shrapnel

« on: 27-02-2010, 16:02:50 »

Hello and welcome to the first (Warrior-approved

) No Man’s Land News! This will be the last No Man’s Land news with Battlefield 1918/2 content.

First up, we have the Steilhandgrenate Model 1917.

When World War One began, grenade technology was extremely primitive at best, as not much of the design had changed in over a century. As battles evolved from open fields into grim, muddy trench warfare, grenades became a very important weapon for clearing out groups of enemy ranks while the thrower remained out of the direct line of fire. Favoured for their superior range over round grenades, many stick grenade variants were produced on both sides, but most notably by Germany. In 1917, Germany designed and put into production what we now recognize as the classic stick grenade, whose fuses were much more reliable than traditional grenades. It was mainly used as an offensive grenade, and it was designed to kill by its concussion wave, instead of shrapnel, and to stun anyone in the area that it didn’t immediately kill. This allowed the thrower to immediately follow the grenade in instead of having to hide behind cover, thus making it one of the first and most effective lethal flash-bang grenades. The grenade design was so effective that by the time 1916 rolled around, German munitions factories were producing over 8,000,000 grenades a month. Between 1914 and 1917, twenty different versions of the stick grenade were fielded. Even with the high variation of grenades, the Model 1917 was the standard and other models were soon phased out.

Next up, we have the Geballte Ladung.

The Geballte Ladung Is essentially six to eight m1917 grenade-heads strapped together and was commonly used for anti-personnel and anti-fortification. This useful device could blow a door open, a wall down, a man’s body apart, and rip a tank apart. It came onto the battlefield when armoured cars came out, and when normal machine-gun ammunition wouldn’t penetrate the relatively thick armour. The geballte ladung was used to rip apart that armour and effectively destroy the cars, and when they appeared on the battlefields, the tanks.

Last, but certainly not least, we have the Mills Bomb.

The Mills Bomb was designed by William Mills in 1915, but was based off of a Belgian Army design (the Roland Grenade) dating back to 1912. In 1915 the British army adopted it as its standard hand grenade. Between 1915 and 1918, over 75 million Mills Bombs were developed. It was a fragmentation grenade, filled with Baratol-a mixture of TNT and barium nitrate. Because its detonator was awkwardly placed, It sprayed out shrapnel unequally. The Mills bomb underwent many variations, but It was so favoured by the army that it was the standard grenade until the 1970’s.

Suggestions / The Real Iwo Jima

« on: 20-02-2010, 04:02:46 »

See--I know Iwo Jima is a long way off, I have no illusions about that, but I feel I should suggest this before I forget. I know a 1:1 scale Iwo Jima isn't possible on the Refractor 2 engine...in one map. My idea is instead of a scaled-down Iwo, there would be a couple of 1:1 scale Iwo Jimas, each map representing a stage of the invasion. Luckily this is a relatively small island, and if the map size were to be maxed out, then it would only require 2-3 maybe even 4 maps. Now, another issue--the tunnel system. I've seen many people request Iwo for the future, but none of the developers seem to have remembered the tunnel systems. How would this work? the portions of island with tunnels in them made with large statics? are cave-ins possible? any Ideas?
Also, the artillery. American artillery should, IMO, be the destroyers and battleships harbored in the ocean on the maps, mortars for others with the ships put of view, and the commander artillery would make a sound like the ships are firing.

Off-Topic / It happens to all Wrestlers

« on: 04-01-2010, 02:01:54 »

It happened to Hulk Hogan, and now it's happened to The Rock.

He has starred in 'race to witch mountain' and 'the game plan.' the latter i believe to be a horrible movie, but i never saw the former. now he is starring in a movie called The Tooth Fairy.

I wish I was kidding.
