Your first round in FH2

[Sike]

so post what happened in your first round!

as for me, i managed to get into a spitfire and started ripping apart the trenches with it

[Skaggy]

I jumped on a 20mm AA Cannon and started destroying the Germans from behind.

No-one came to find me, so I just kept on shooting, :p.

[Jumintiger]

Got in a 2-pounder on Siege of Tobruk with my trusty (or not-so-trusty) Boyes at my side and slaughtered some Panzers.

I sucked on that map, but later my friend came over and we played Battle of Sfakia. Had a grand old time. Sfakia is a fantastic blend of sniping and close combat. There's only one tank on the map (it sucks) but it adds the spice to an already great steak.

The K98 rocks :yay:

The maps seem a little unbalanced at first but people are just too lazy to flank the enemy.

[Clayton Gold]

I got on and got my *** kicked for about an hour :(

Have to learn a little more about this mod.

[Cherni]

Well, my first round sucked pretty bad. But then I got used to FH and squaded up with a couple of friends.

Also on Tobruk I got like 30 kills on the Brit AT gun till it ran outta ammo :p

[Alex98uk]

We decided to use a 5 man squad, get round the back of the enemy and cause havoc in their spawn points.

Thanks for not adding default snipers.

[Rick Astley]

I decided to get behind the only mortar in some map with Italian Hospital and Italian Barracks and started requesting arty locations.

I just bombed everything with a single mortar :D Got 14-0 when i was through half of the ammo and 20-0 when i ran out.
But in CQC i purely suck...i have to try out more maps with desert combat.

And i absolutely love arty! Only been able to hit something with my mortar, but i'm trying to kill something with those heavy 9 pounder thingies.
Too bad i have all my settings on medium, because i now have some sort of blinking on the dail-ups in the arty sights...anyone has that problem too?

spots for the arty didnt work for me at all yesterday,and yes i get the blinking thing to.

[sgt.collins]

it sucked.
i jumped into singleplayer, to get a feel for things.... i just wasn't gonna get used to the single shot.
so, i got bored and decided to go to multiplayer. I couldn't tell who was who, and ended up like -16

^^Minimap ;)

[Lt Davis]

My first real (meaning full MP round) round was on El Alamein. I joined an air squad and for most of the round I strafed the flag just ahead of the German main base, can't remember the name. Got loads of straggler infantry with the Hurricane. Then I got switched by autobalance and left, rejoined, and by then my squad was doing a ground attack. But it was a good round.

[[WS] Stephensolofo]

The hurricane is a monster,even though the cannons on planes arent strong,its hard to surive 4 20mm cannon shots.

[[WS]Aur0ra145]

My first round I jumped into a recon plane, flew up a few thousand feet and checked out the flight dynamics. They were good, just wish I had my joystick to see how good the fighters are. Honestly, I figure I'll be doing alot of recon flying for my team b/c I can't stand the CQC.

Another little thing, the British recon plane, the Super-Cub, I've flown those in real life, they act about the same. Minus pulling G's and throwing negative G's, but it's about right.

All I'm waiting for is a Battle of Brittan type map where everyone is in planes, that would be fun.

[L3adCannon]

Managed to flank a bunch of brits and slaughter the bastards, close range.
I love the sounds but just like the explosions, all gunshots should be heared from distance, like in RO for an example.

I just don`t like the bloody desert. Normandy with americans would be awesome.

[[R-PUB]MrD]

I tried to go infantry first, leaving the armour for when I had learnt the basics better, but I found that I was getting slaughtered all the time as armour after armour spawned over and over and the distances between cp's meant you couldn't reach them on foot.

Strangely, even when you capped a cp, the enemies armour still spawned there and you had your teammates mumbling about wasting ammo having to destroy them over and over.

Also, my ping on the server I played on a few rounds was about 55/60 and I experienced a lot of lagging/stuttering movement suggesting I needed to maybe turn my graphics setting down I guess, further than I already have down from vBF2 to play PR.

[Rick Astley]

Got a question:

Is it just me or won't the Anti Tank Rifles work?
Also sometimes the AP shell of a tank won't work. Or i pump three shots in tanks from the side and still they don't die and then they one shot me... :(

[Kradath]

It depends on what you're shooting with what.

[sgt.collins]

this game is kinda buggy. which is to be expected, but its still kind of... interesting
oh btw i spent about 2 hours yesterday practicing, and i got no better. wwII games aren't for me

[Eglaerinion]

Try reading the manual and the wiki before playing. FH has a pretty steep learning curve, it has some bugs like any other mod/game but calling it buggy is a bit weird. You need to get out of the mindset of arcade games where you can kill everything with anything.

[Rafterman]

Ran around the side of a building, saw a guy at long distance, dropped prone, lined up my shot - BAM - TK.

Good start I must say.

[hM-glassjaw]

i got worked. the map i played on had too much armor and it was almost impossible to tell who was who. is there a "bleed to death feature" where you get hit by something really hard, yet are still able to continue fighting for about 10 seconds or so? because this happened a lot. most of these maps are terrible. i don't care for spread out desert warfare at all. the anti tank gun isn't nearly powerful enough to cause any real damage.

The FlaK 18/36 which slaughters ANY aircraft, jeep, or tank in one hit is too weak?

I've checked the facts...the guns hurt what they are supposed to.

[General Tso]

the anti tank gun isn't nearly powerful enough to cause any real damage.

Anti-tank rifle is a little misleading. It is better suited against scout cars and light vehicles rather than actual tanks. At this stage of the war, bazookas/PIAT/Panzerfaust/shreck were not available, hence they aren't in the mod currently.

As for AT guns, it depends on what you are shooting with. Most are one shot one kill, unless you are targeting the large British tanks. Make sure you use armor piercing rounds against tanks.

[jameslcross]

I blew some brits up with an anti aircraft gun, had a couple of Tk's (oops), planted some mines and flags, got in a tank took a lorry and a tank out, caught a couple of flags then had to go to work :-(

[dudbomb]

my first round in FH2...oh god lol well i was British on the battle of something, 64 sized map on a 40 man server....as soon as i spawned, Dead...next two spawns were the same...so i changed spawn zone to one next to the beach were a bunker has the sniper next to it in a radio tent, grabbed the sniper and ran over to a house on a hill, camped there and started sniping, i got me 5 kills, and then the enemy started advancing, i died 3 more times, we lost another three bases, and i went to the toilet, came back blah blah blah....and was playing as a scout/spotter with rifle.

went to some kinda beach base, just outside of it and spotted four nazi's so i layed down some supressive fire to scare em, one ran off, and the other two were bobbing up and down with there K85's so i headshot one, and then blow the other one away with a chest shot as he walks out the front door, i check the map and see i have no team...and no bases, i check the score and I'm the last man alive

and then i get killed by a nazi with a Hitler youth knife.

and as im typing to my team saying sorry guys, i didnt look at the scores ^^, there was three messages from other players on my team saying Nice one man :D

[[99MB]J|Pvt.userkef1992]

i got ending up saying sorry for 14 times for TK's :D

[Luremus]

In my first round i tried the bicycle.

The next major FH2 release will contain the Normandy theatre, 1944.
Is it just me or won't the Anti Tank Rifles work?
Also sometimes the AP shell of a tank won't work. Or i pump three shots in tanks from the side and still they don't die and then they one shot me...
Anti-Tank Rifle is a very misleading name. In that period of World War II the tank development went really fast while the AT Rifle wasn't developing at all. So with a AT Rifle I recommend to fire at jeeps/trucks and very light tanks. But don't worry things will be better, they already have the Bazooka model ready for the next release.

[Eagle101]

Go on in siege of Tobruk LAN with my brother was great endless fun, especially with the Thermos bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um did any1 notice that when the jerries come over to the trench lines that the flags are un-cap able i mean the Germans were not able to lower the flag at the trenches. i dunno is this a bug happens in SP too ;(
