    807-2) British officers used termal markers in their stens and webleys to mark the enemy position to a space ship to fire arty to the target
    draje175: so, its imbalanced that a 5cp, 150 mun, never-use-again-cooldown ability can severly hurt turtling, which, even if your british, is a very bad idea?

    If an English tommy squad occupies an abandoned 25 pounder position, they will turn Canadian.
    English? You mean British.

    808. The Royal Artillery doctrine and a bribe of munitions persuades Officers to call in fire support.

    809. The British encryption decoder network ULTRA was, as history states, one of the most important system of agencys in WW2. A little useless ingame...

    810. British Para regiments only decided to use parachute helmets in OP Market Garden. Berets where used more due to the pride of the units, apparently.

    I meant English on purpose because British could mean scottish, Irish and so on... but I see your point :P


    811: The MG42 performs differently depending on whether it has a tripod, a bipod or whether it is mounted in a vehicle, apparently an edit by German engineering so it does not 'OP'.

    812: Volksgrenadiers had panzerfausts stored in their trousers for use against vehicles, its so comfy down there that the commander needs to bribe the soldier with bullets to persuade him to pull it out.

    813) sometimes when a tank ,which was standing still, got shot badly by another tank or some sort of AT weapon, it would suddenly drive at full speed in a circle untill it hit something or untill it exploded.

    814) All American snipers had the last name "Cunningham".
    815) There was a "Warner" in every squad of engineers.
    816) If a tank was on fire and about to explode, no crew member would attempt escape, silently resigning to death.
    817) Volksgrenadiers smell pretty bad.
    818) All Sherman tank gunners of the war were egotistical jackasses that liked to call their drivers "Tiny".
    819) Panzer Grenadiers, when bribed with munitions, could fire cryogenic shells from their G43 that slowed any infantry.
    820) In WW2, corpses and body parts vanished from the ground not more than six seconds after laying there.
    821) The Funkwagen is just too funky for you.

    822. Battalions of Rangers moved around together destroying everything in their path, they negated cover, laughed at anti-infantry weapons and chased down tanks in an insane rush for their destination (usually an axis base).

    823. Battalions of Airborne moved around together destroying everything in their path, they negated cover, laughed at anti-infantry weapons and chased down tanks in an insane rush for their destination (usually an axis base).

    824. If a single Commando glider lands, axis commanders head straight for a forum and writes a report on how Commandos need to play fair. Wehrmacht commanders forget how to order soldiers to retreat when Commandos are on the battlefield resulting in many captured Pazershrecks, if an axis commander is competent enough not to lose anti-tank weapons to the Commandos he will still complain instead of bringing out Armoured vehicles.

    825) Late in the war, british, american and German cientists created a portal to a paralel dimension called "europe in ruins" to solve the problem of the army disband exposed in 803.

    829: king tiger and jagdpanther tanks CANNOT crush a jeep, no matter how hard they try.

    832: All regular German army soldiers wore white uniforms and black helmuts (unless they were volks)

    833: Only volksgrenadiers were issued field caps

    334: Only volkgrenadiers and pioneers were issued MP40s

    335: Despite all known combat reports, all scoped G43s given to German snipers would jam every shot, forcing the sniper to wait long periods of time before firing again. Only the Panzer Elite were given functioning G43s.

  13. #363
    836: Firing from behind cover tends to make you more likely to kill someone than firing from point blank.

    837: British infantry were not very fond of each other.

    838: British infantry always proceeded very cautiously, even in the middle of a battle.

    839: King Tigers never broke down, but could easily be destroyed by several AT guns if the crew isn't careful.

    840: Howitzers built on the battlefield didn't need ammo.

    841: Germans didn't need materials to build, just shovels. As for the other armies, they just piled sandbags together and hoped it came out right.

    842: Hordes of reinforcements are waiting immediately outside of battles, but can only be brought in when sufficient resources have been acquired.

    843: German officers exploded if shot once.

    844. Axis commanders where mostly newbs, good commanders would remove themselves from this group and join the Panzer Elite.

    845. A plane could fly through a building, take the thing down, then drop it's bombs.

    846. A puma shot down more planes than an Ostwind

    847. Men magically became harder to kill after killing a certain amount of men or watching others do it.

    848. Tanks could magically be made by pressing AWM right before one died.

    849. British soldiers loved wankers.

    850. Some mortars could omly fire less than 100 meters but others of the same caliber could go thousands of meters.

    Pictures or it's not true.

    852. Bofors were never used in AA roles, only ground roles.

    853: Hill 112 was populated by Royal Scots Engineers captains who never realised a tank was about to roll over their trench.

  17. #367
    Huge bases were built only a few hundred meters apart on the battlefield. This wasn't seen as a risky tactic by anyone because it gave the enemy a chance to stop them. The British however liked to shake thinks up a bit.

    865: In WW2, the Wehrmacht used obsolete Anti-Tank Guns called Pak 38s right up until the end of the war, despite having better models available in greater numbers.

    876: In World War 2, Vehicles only gave excellent cover if they were destroyed, they wouldnt give cover even if they were fortified, or still, or in a ditch.

    877: MG42s scared the crap out of everyone, but didnt actually kill as many.

    878: If a squad was pinned and had their hands on their heads to keep down, their guns would disapear or hide, and only come back if they either legged it themselves, or broke out of the pin.

    879: That the MG42 was the best MG of the war was merely a false rumour. In truth the allied MGs were designed by Albert Einstein and the MG42 was a peashooter in disguise.

  29. #379
    880 : Yes, heavy MG42s that fired about 1500 rounds a minute / 25 in a sec did only supress "damn, that scary noise again!" but not hurt you that much.

    881 : So does the Nebelwerfer. Rockets that leave splashy fire fields arent that leathel.

    882 : Wehrmacht officiers where so seldom on the battlefield, they scared allied soldiers just by appearing.

    883 : Both sides agreed to improve "The Schelds" bridges, because both fractions lost lots of troops on them when collapsing again.

    887: Any kind of house could be destroyed by shooting at them for a long time.

    888: Tanks didn't run obstacles over, objects in front of the them just slide away when touched by a tank.

    889: Most buildings were not affected when a tank went out of control and rammed into a building, then exploded.

    898-When both Axis and Allies got bored of fighting in the same locations, they would wait a while for someone to come up with new places to fight to make their fights more varied. Maps of these new places would be drawn up and distributed more and more as time went on.

    902. Some people have no sense of numbers

    903. Engineers didn't like seeing bags of dirt

    904. Officers were given their rank for surviving multiple sniper shots to the head and living to tell the tale

    905. Some drivers thought it was too inhumane to run over several squads of pinned infantry.

    906. Brits had magical underground supply lines they could use to supply territories not connected to them.

    907. The war was won by the trust points given to certain factions by God. Sometimes both sides could win at the same time.

    908. If the British Command Truck was armed with a 2 pounder, it could win in a fight against a Panther

    909. Rockets and artillery rounds could not land in trenches, only on top of them. Thus proves the use of ducking and covering!

    910. Fires only lasted seconds even when contact was made with other flammable objects.

    Actually nebels are much better now. Only about 234421 patches since version 1.0.

    911. Although all other factions chose to put their headquarters in prefabricated buildings built just for WWII, the British chose to use prefabricated armored trucks almost completely invulnerable to small arms fire but still able to speed around the battlefield locking down points before the enemy can steal them...
    If you've noticed their accuracy (scoutcars), it's almost as if the gunner has a death wish or has made a bet with Klaus over who can shoot more bullets into the ground than the enemy.

    913. As a practical joke, during basic training instructors somehow convinced troops that running out of solid cover during a heated firefight was a good course of action.

    914) Allied soldiers only fear to Hmg 42, LMG 42 is a joke for them, but engeeners.
    915) American tank crews where able to repair their tank from inside and fight at the same time
    916) If you stand in middle of a road, you will get more wounded than staying in open field
    917) Panzer IV shells just bounce on the sherman armor, but the power of the impact damage it

  48. #398
    914. The Panzer elite, being the most hated group for both axis and allies, was never given smokeless gun powder for many of their guns such as the G43. The reasoning behind this was that it saved German logistics of having to give them smoke grenades and instead, pulled out some of the left over gunpowder from the last century.

    919) Fallschirmjäger refused to shoot on the enemy. Some have theorized that their training manuals told them to aim at the ground instead of the enemy, but this has yet to be confirmed.

    920) Shermans were much better than the Panzer IV. The sources saying how the Sherman was a ''deathtrap'' and ''outclassed'' were merely false rumors spread by counter-intelligence German propaganda.

    921) Suppressed Axis Infantry didn't like getting out of the firing lane of an MG. Even if they were 1 metre from being out of it, they would determinedly crawl further into the firing lane. No one knows why.

    922) By using their immense mental force of will, British Infantry could destroy trenches in an instant be merely projecting their mental power, preventing them from falling into the enemy's hands.

    923) The American Infantry developed the first target-locked heat-seeking cruiser-missile in the world; the Sticky Bomb.
