I just kinda stumbled upon this game. It looks interesting. I think I'm gonna give the trial a spin.

CRS needs to proofread their stuff a lot better...

The word "durring" has been in their EULA for years (I submitted reports twice on it)...

And on the forums... I'd give a fourth grader an F for spelling with all the problems they have.

Fun but frustrating game though.

They have the same problem with coding unfortantly.    Proof reading, type-o's and simple mistakes add up to some interesting bugs in game.   

Unfortantly I dont even classify the game as fun anymore just fustrating.     I guess if you know nothing of WWII history, or actual wepon affects or damage, then it could still be fun.    But thats like looking at Fast & the Furrious and saying that it was 100% accurate and real.  

Id be the first to scream, "NOT REAL!", but they had to make 'adjustments' for sake of balance. If they didnt, the Allies would never have a chance.

The tutorial really is going to help keeping players in the game, making the game more fun since this game gets exponentially better compared to the player numbers.
 

this game is fun if you get a nice squad...and when they upgrade graphics...im back

You do realize this game wouldn't exist at all if they lived up to your standards, right? And that even if they were bankrolled by some disgustingly wealthy benefactor so they didn't have to worry about subscriptions, no one would play it because of the problems with balance and boredom associated with "realism"?  And that the thousands of players who do play are overwhelmingly military vets, and weapon, flight and history buffs who constantly critique their realism vs. balance considerations?  And all those people still play when they disagree with individual decisions because it's still the only MMO even attempting to recreate some semblance of strategic historical warfare across an entire continent-sized theater?  You know all that because you've been playing and paying attention for 6+ years, right?

Your idea of "quality" is quite perverted, my friend.

Defending this game is a journey in the absurd.  Granted the dedicated playerbase has kept it alive, but it still, even after 6 years, a very mediocre MMO.  Don't confuse this game with historical realism, it is so far from it the idea is even ludicrous.
