Yeah, guess the new "crowd" just likes bullshit like war thunder ,WoT, and soon to be CoH2.
Well , i still have my hopes up for IL-2 BOS, atleast thats not going to be an ahistorical shitfest. I bet in 70 years we will have WW2 RTS games with 19th century weapons.
It is just sad seeing one of my favourite RTS get turned into complete dog crap.
I share your feelings.
I hated it when franchises like like CoD and battlefield stopped using authentic weapons for their factions in multiplayer. I just didn't get any sense of immersion when I'm a german soldier running around in Stalingrad, carrying a Japanase made Type99 machine gun.
And I have the same problem with soviets fighting along side Americans in the Ardennes.
I really hope they add in a separate playlist for people like you and me.
To all the people who are saying things like 'oh it's a competitive multiplayer game, not a history lesson bla bla bla' I have this to say: This game was advertised as a somewhat authentic easter front game. They never once mentioned things like americans fighting in stalingrad in the multiplayer. If they did, I never would have bought the game in the fist place.
