To me the base building feels more like a chore rather than something fun. Especially when the bases kind of lack meaning. I just blonked down all crafting stations and pretty much left it at that. The biggest issues is that you have to do the building from first person view. Would be a lot better if it had a top-down view when placing buildings. It feels bloody impossible to set walls next to each other.

Also, how does one stow/holster a weapon?  For some reason, no key binding of mine seems to work- the only way I can get it to stow is by using a workbench.
Holding 'R' works for me. Just like in any other Bethesda game.

How difficult is it to assemble a PC?
The actual assembly really isn't that hard. Most parts can only fit in one slot, and just by reading the motherboard's manual will tell you what the rest are for. And the only tools you'll need is a screwdriver.

Selecting the parts is the hardest part of the process.

And on what basis do you think there's even going to be a stand alone?

I have a question about how Germans designated their tanks.

So, regular German tanks have PzKpfw followed by a Roman numeral and then a letter denoting the model. These obviously mean which tank version is it and which model. However, the Tiger I was labeled as PzKpfw VI Ausf. H, and here the H comes from Henschel and not its model, and then later on it was called PzKpfw VI Ausf. E. Where does the E come from? Where there Ausf. A, B and so forth as well?

It gets even more confusing with the Tiger II, which was just Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B with no numerals. What's the deal with that?

New York Times  ::)
Ah yes, sorry, I forgot. It's just Imperialist American propaganda trying to slander its enemies of isolationist America, as even in 1915, the New York Times knew that in 30 years America would be a superpower and they decided to practice their slandering.

I guess then also Independent, The Living Age, The Literary Digest, The Missionary Review, The London Times, The Outlook Magazine, Survey Magazine, American Review, Atlantic Montly, New Republic and National Geographic are just full of Western propaganda, trying to imitate New York Times. Obviously the great and magnificent shitstain of a country that the Ottoman Empire/Turkey was at the start of the 20th century made it necessary that such a world power should be tackled by spreading evil lies.

You know what Airshark, based all the things you've written on this forum, arguing with you is pointless. It's like talking to a religious person. Actually, you're worse than that. At least religious nuts use something to backup their claims instead of just "lol American newspaper ::) hurr durr" and "This is how it is because I say this is how it is". But I guess stubborn stupidity can't be cured.

Also how you brush off the massacres Armenians committed and all the muslims died during these years that goes to numbers that make the armenian losses fall short shows how driven you are through propaganda.
What in God's has this to do with anything again? No one has been brushing anything off. You're the only one who has brought dead muslims into this. Your basic arguments against calling the disappearance of Armenians as genocide is that Armenians (among others) killed muslims too. That's how a fucking 5-year-old argues. "He has ice cream, so I can have ice cream too". Even if a billion muslims had died in those 300 years, it doesn't justify harsh actions against people, most of whom had nothing to with it.

And unlike you I have direct contact and understanding of the days turkish language, and this was not a hate crime but a problematic way to solve an administrative issue, Ottoman Empire was not entitled to give up any territory back then
Of course, why on earth would Turkish sources be in anyway biased towards the Turkish side. That's like a Russian guy citing Russia Today as an unbiased source. Let me quote you some contemporary sources of the time:

"An appeal for relief of Armenian Christians in Turkey, following reported massacres and threatened further outrages, was made to the Turkish Government today by the United States." - New York Times, 28th of April 1915


"It was learned, in connection with the conferences held here today, that general representations have from time to time been made to the Ottoman Government by Ambassador Morgenthau for humane treatment of Armenians. Despite these representations, the slaughter of Armenians has continued. --- Reports reaching Washington indicate that about 500,000 Armenians have been slaughtered or lost their lives as a result of the Turkish deportation order and the resulting war of extinction Turkish authorities drove the Gregorian Armenians out of their homes, ordered them to proceed to distant towns in the direction of Bagdad, which could only be reached by crossing long stretches of desert. During the exodus of Armenians across the deserts they have been fallen upon by Kurds and slaughtered, but some of the Armenian women and girls, in considerable numbers, have been carried off into captivity by the Kurds." - New York Times, 24th of September 1915

"The Armenian race numbered over 4,000,000, of whom 2,000,000 were Turkish Armenians, and of these perhaps 1,000,000 have been deported and 500,000 massacred. Only 200,000 escaped into the mountains, and so across to Russian soil. There are some hundreds of thousands in concentration camps between Aleppo and Mosul and in the neighboring regions of Mesopotamia, where Turkey continues to be supreme over their fate." - New York Times 21st of August 1915, quoting the Rev. Harold Buxton, Secretary of the Armenian Refugees Fund.

"The trial of those responsible for the Armenian massacres by the Turks has begun in Constantinople. The leader of the Turkish officials being tried at present is Keimal Bey, Governor of Diarbekir.

The prosecutor, in opening the trial, said it was necessary to punish the authors of the massacres which had filled the whole world with a feeling of horror.
" - New York Times, 12th of February 1919

Do I need to continue?

The two documents that bring closure to this talk. I'm not sorry that the northeastern anaolia's fate was sealed to being homogenous.
I really don't understand the point of this. So there's a political party that claims most of Eastern Turkey as Armenian, and the best and justified solution is to tell the Armenians living there to fuck off? I think your last sentence there kind of tells whose side you're on.

Ah yes, the benevolent Ottoman government just wanted to deport the Armenians to a cozy new home in Syria.  And somehow ended up killing 1.5 million of them.  But it was their fault, of course!  I can't imagine why they would ever have resisted an oppressive regime that denied them rights and had consistently terrorized their communities.

Doesn't it give you pause for thought that literally all respected academics acknowledge the Armenian Genocide?

Considering 400.000 of them being moved in the official documents I don't have any idea where you are getting this 1.5 million number.
There were 2 million Armenians in the Ottoman empire in 1914 and 400 000 in 1922 (The University of Minnesota’s Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies). Some of them were probably killed in the war, some relocated on their own and maybe there were some unregistered Armenians after the 1st World War due to Ottoman discrimination but 1.5 million people can't really just disappear.

Edit: This article sums it all up pretty well:
http://www.nytimes.com/ref/timestopics/topics_armeniangenocide.html

I guess one could argue that it wasn't a genocide as it wasn't systematic or planned, but the Turkish actions still led to a large decrease in the population of the Armenians. It's a bit like Mao's cultural revolution, lots of people died due to it but it doesn't necessarily classify as a genocide.

And to add to that, two wrongs don't make a right. Sure, maybe the Armenians killed thousands of Turks during WWI but that doesn't justify treating them like you did. A million Armenians died directly due to the actions of the Ottoman government. Might not necessarily count as a genocide but it's still a lot of dead people.

Concerning Kurdistan, you do realise that bombing the Kurds in Iraq and Syria is in now way going to make your stance better? If and when the whole situation calms down in Syria, you will have a lot of angry battle hardened Kurds directly on your southern border. Do you think they'll stay there? If you had supported the Kurds against ISIS, it would be likely that their future government would be on pretty friendly terms with Turkey. A friendly Kurdistan to the south would most likely calm down the Kurds in Turkey as well.

You had a chance to turn old enemies into allies but instead you chose to go with the "I'm a big boy and I do big boy things" instead and made sure that the Kurds aren't going to settle down in a pretty long ass time.

I have to agree with Airshark on the Bren gun at least. For some reason that gun feels really inaccurate, even when aiming down the sights.

From all the shit i read Coh2's campaign is like basically enemy at the gates (and completely biased)
It is. I stopped playing after the second Soviet mission. Felt like I was playing some weird parody like Red Alert while still saying that it's "accurate" and "historical".
