Really its the big things combined with the small things.

Brigade spawning is coming very soon

No less than 3 years after it was suggested in the (insert Greek word here) forums.

which is suppose to concentrate fighting so fights will be bigger. Have you played since depot spawning was implemented?

Yes, I returned for a day for a free trial session. Still the same old game as far as I'm concerned. Lack of fighting was just one problem. I remember playing many nights in order to secure a town with random attacks peering out of here and there with no general direction. Lack of cohesive cooperation and direction was the biggest problem for me. You could be very organized during the initial spawn and travel to a particular town, but once you got there it become a complete .....fest. The reasons for fighting shouldn't be flag-cap spawn based imho.

In the end, there is only so much you can do by upping numbers here and there, whether it be time or limits. What ww2online really needs is a complete redesign of the so called "strat" system. Mo has already stated that the game will not change so much as to be unrecognisable according to the original plans.

Alot of things contributed to a non-immersive infantry experience; such as the lack of infantry friendly or allied, unrecognisable and constant noise, too much close range combat, not enough cover...etc.

Deployment and UI redesign is coming. Even the ranks will be re-utilized.

Kill Scoring:
Kill Scoring post v1.13
_______________________

In order to "kill" a vehicle now, you need to prevent it from completing
it's mission objective, defined according to it's intended mission intentions.

Single Engined Aircraft:
-------------------------

Pilot dead = kill
Engine dead = kill
Wing catastrophic damage = kill
All guns damaged to point of not working = kill
Both horizontal stabilizers catastrophic damage = kill
Vertical stabilizer + one horizontal stabilizer catastrophic damge = kill


Twin Engined Aircraft:
------------------------

Pilot dead = kill
Both engines dead = kill
Wing catastrophic damage = kill
Both horizontal stabilizers catastrophic damage = kill
Vertical stabilizer + one horizontal stabilizer catastrophic damge = kill

Tanks:
--------

Driver dead = kill
Gunner dead = kill
Engine dead = kill
Ammo storage brew up = kill
Both tracks destroyed damage = kill
Main gun damaged to point of not working = kill

Armoured Cars:
----------------

Driver dead = kill
Gunner dead = kill
Engine dead = kill
Ammo storage brew up = kill
Both wheels (all 4 in case of SdKfZ232) on one side destroyed = kill

Trucks:
---------

Driver dead = kill
Engine dead = kill
Both wheels on one side destroyed = kill
Fuel tank brew up = kill (because this will blow the truck up)
Laffly W15TCC is officially a truck but is gunned, same deal as an AT gun (below)

AT and AA guns:
-----------------

Both crew (commander and gunner) dead = kill
Main gun damaged to point of not working = kill

Fairmiles:

All gunners (crew) dead = kill
Any flotation tanks destroyed = kill
All guns destroyed (20mm's and 2 pounder and MG's) = kill

Destroyers:
-------------

Engine dead = kill
Fueltank brew up = kill
All main (5") guns destroyed = kill
Any flotation tanks destroyed = kill
All AA guns destroyed (20mm and 37mm) = kill
(there are no crew deaths on DD's only gun destructions)

Freighter:
------------

Engine dead = kill
Fueltank brew up = kill
All AA guns destroyed (20mm) = kill
Any flotation tanks destroyed = kill
(there are no crew deaths on Freighters only gun destructions)

The new trees and bushes are in the game and infantry play is completely different. Plenty of concealment but no more bulletproof leaves.
