Post them here. I wanted to keep this separate from the mod's main thread to make it easier to collect this info.

While i know and understand that HOW is still early in development here are a few thoughts:
The biggest issue for me, at this juncture, is atmospheric. I don't really feel like I'm at war in Europe yet. Generally speaking, things still feel a bit hacked together (which is understandable and not something i think is an issue as the project will hopefully resolve this as time passes).
That aside, the environments (maps) simply aren't there yet either. I understand that crafting assets is a huge undertaking and adds much in terms of atmosphere. That aside, however, something about the scale and layout of the enthronements just don't feel European to me (based on my visits to the region). I think this is largely due to the scaling and orientation of things (ie: many streets and side streets feel too wide). That aside, many of the environments just seem / feel random.
Carentan outskirts, for example, seems like a mish-mash fo objectives. I never get the feeling as though we are fighting our way toward a major d-day objective.
I've already talked to NYMets about his map so there isn't much else to say.
Overall a good start, but much work to be done. I think the project is filling a pretty large void (realistic western front shooter) and i appreciate it.

I would like to ask about German weapons leveling.
The MG 42 and MKb are replacing the japanese grenades - in effect they can't accumulate experience. Is this working as intended (to prevent players to use OP belt feed Hitler's saw
) or just oversight?

I personally thing that the red german cross icon could use some work but I can't quite put my finger on what would make it look better.

Seeing Postamenos is doing so great work, i think the mod can be really helped out with the infamous hedgerows that were very common in Normandy:
