hello everyone,
i have just bought RO2 and am a little surprised at the way in which the weapons perform and how accurate they are. I have fired most of the weapons on this game live.
1) ppsh41, recoil too great - the ppsh41 has very little recoil and no muzzle lift as the compensator at the muzzle is very affective. the stick magazine was very rare at this point of the war and wouldn't be a common site until early 1945 - the drum magazine was by far more common.
2)muzzle flash, i think it may be my settings - but if not, the guns are lacking the muzzle flash.
3)mkb42, didn't start field trials of this weapon until early 1943, the guns were tested at leningrad, they were produced in very small numbers and quickly replaced with the stg43/44.
4)avt4, production of this weapon didn't start until september 1943.
5)light machineguns, the recoil - like the ppsh is too much, these weapons when deployed on their bipods have very little recoil and no muzzle lift.
note on uniforms too, red army uniforms did not have coloured collar tabs in the field after 1940, they were a pale green/khaki colour. buttons for field uniforms were green or black. it is very very difficult to wear a russian m40 helmet without the chinstrap fastened under the chin! and the russian m35/40 uniform did not have shoulder straps/epaulettes.
-don't really know much about the german uniforms, but i do know (from photo's) they had greatcoats when it was cold - even at stalingrad!
apart from that it's a smashing game, really enjoy it - the tanks are brilliant and the grain elevator looks fantastic!!! as do all the maps!
