Also it says that german paratrooper units were subordinate to the air force. This is not entirely true. They, along with the "Herman Goering" panzer division, were subordinate to Goering as his personal toys for playing war, but beyond Crete, were integrated into the ground forces.

Luftlande division is not same as Fallschirmj

And about the last offensive. Well im quite speechless. No seriously. Read a book or something. Anyway Operation Spring Awakening was the last real german offensive. What? You say not true? Not enough men? Well i dont know

Maybe, but Darkest Hour is about western front. While DH manual might have had it said rather funny way, that "last major operation" happened in the eastern front. So even though the line can be looked as false statement to some extent, considering DH is about western front the context might have possible the idea of "Last offensive [in the west]".

After Crete any German airborne unit, Luftwaffe or Luftlande or whatever, was under Heer command. Why you ask? Well look at the reality.

Good point indeed, especially considering the timeline of the war back then. However, based on sole description they can be said to be under the Luftwaffe in general.

Operation Nordwind was the last German offensive in the west.

I stand out corrected then.

However, isn't it more practical to mail the developers about possible historical errors in manuals and such than create a huge fuzz here?

Kinda like I still find it silly that no game ever has made german jack- and lowboots to have correct sounds on several surfaces nor implented the psychical facts included (which is historical AND psychical), that they are indeed damm slippery on several types of surfaces and especially during winter which means that german players should have less accurate movement on those surfaces or on winter maps. So, if I want to have change to that (please note this situation is entirely made up) or possibly note about it should I wreak havoc here in RO forums or mail possibly the developers themselves about the problem? ;)

Could you post a thread stating this on your forums? Even better, could you post something talking about the crash fix on your front page of your website?

People need to know that a fix is on the way, and alot of people don't check the forums, especially because you have to register just to see posts on it. I think it would reassure alot of people to know that the problem is at least acknowledged publicly, and that work is being done to fix it.

Just my two cents.

After incredible amounts of hype, I am dissappointed. The mod is just bland. The maps seem crude and ill designed, the weapon sounds are just awful (all the brit guns sound the same + the new German weapon sounds are just teeth clattering) and some weapons seem to have no recoil at all (most notably the whole brit arsenal.

I jope you'll get this one back on track with the bug fix! :)

I live in Finland which is otherside of Russian border. And i can say that if there is 10 cm snow or more. You dont slip anywhere no mater whatkind of boots you got. And mainly on winter time there is lot more snow...

our forums should now be accessible to those who are not registered also: http://forums.darkesthourgame.com/

we have been working hard on testing and developping a fix for this bug, it is much harder to fix than we thought. anyway something will happen today friday, if we can't fix it today then we will use a temporary solution to solve the problem and by the same way release all our updated and fixed maps along with a brand new set of sounds for almost every weapon and vehicle in the shape of a patch.
i have tried the new sounds and believe me the are freekin amazing. i seriously can't wait untill we replace the other german sounds also by these freekintastic sounds.
tight now we will have new amazing mg42 sound and brand new sounds for the tiger tank wich are i think you will agree orgasmic.

Possibly the best feature of such boots (yes, those are repros of the most common german boots used during WW2) is that they can gather about 5cm tall "snowball" under the heel (imagine some female high-heel boots which are unbalanced) which makes them pain in the *** to walk with, and you practically have to remove that "snowball" manually because it does not shrug off by itself.

Now then add bit ice and snow and go figure. Seriously, go get a pair of those and walk around a while and you will understand the idea :p

If wasnt for the bugs the big tanks would be released King Tiger where are you.

don't worry, its not the same persons who fix bugs and make tanks ;)
even though the bugs require the whole team to take part in tests to try new fixes
