10% sound like more than enough imo.

How exactly does this improve performance? In the end both files would have to be loaded by the game, right?

Is the scoped version of the FG42 really ingame?

Was this already posted?

I seem to remember it was 50 50 for Fallschirmjägers, maybe it was similar.

There is actually quite a bit of dead ground right hand side of the road (from your perspective). Smoke the road with mortars and cross it with an assault force. From there you can move up safely to the little walled garden, deploy at the wall and suppress the Germans.

I don't know... foreigners?

In my opinion the school system we have right now, with instructors in front of "standardised" batches of children, is a relic from the age of the industrial revolution. There needs to be a new kind of system for the 21st century. I have worked in some pilot projects in Germany that showed a lot of promise, especially with what in the US you would call "at risk" youth, however, political reaction is as always sluggish. Politicians need statistics and short term benefits to justify their projects, and in a case like this it is hardly possible. I also foresee tons of teething problems that would further alienate the public. There are models out there that work, but nobody wants to put in the effort to truly change the system. And the children notice, I mean they are not stupid for the most part, they know when a system doesn't benefit them and has nothing to do with their lifes and reality. I would probably drop the occasional f-bomb too

Western society is too obsessed with numbers. Take that horrible "No child left behind" thing from the US, where they try to measure teacher effectiveness with standardised test. Every person with even a basic understanding of science and the human condition will tell you that the only thing these tests are measuring is the childrens ability to complete standardised tests. Instead of having teachers do what they presumably do best, you know, teaching, they want them to produce the right numbers to put into statistics. Ad it's the same in every sector. I heard that surgeons sometimes refuse to work on old people, because if the surgery fails their statistics go down and their insurance rate goes up or they don't get hired anymore. In an environment like that the only talent that flourishes is the talent to play the numbers game. In the past there also were some incompetent teachers, some lazy ones, even the occasional pervert, probably, but that is just the risk you are running when you are dealing with people. Today society doesn't want to deal with humans anymore, just with numbers and statistics, like they mean anything! As soon as a human can be replaced by a robot or program they will do it, at least then the numbers are right again.

"Out of the fog"

Did you include any new second line type weapons for the ad hoc German troops? I'm thinking captured stuff like the MG26(t) or maybe older, MP18 based smgs.

AFAIK the first batch of Panzer Brigades were equipped along these lines: http://www.wwiidaybyday.com/kstn/kstn1114agpfg1aug44.htm

Well in history the Panzer Brigades were notoriously incompetent.

IIRC Panzergrenadier Squads under the Panzer Brigade organisation were to be equipped exclusively with the StG44. They didnt even have squad mgs and instead relied on aa halftracks for long range automatic fire.

Not quite. You can also play as New Zealand in the BF2 mod "Forgotten Hope 2":

I have seen pistol equipped troops pick up rifles, so I don't see why smgs wouldn't work.

Maybe make some unique second line weapons for them, like the MG26(t) or MP28 derivative smgs.

"Join the army they said. They will make you quit smoking they said."

I like looking for obscure weapons in the Wochenschau, like Beretta smgs in the Ardennes and stuff like that. You'd be surprised what turns up sometimes.

"Berlin is the perfect headquarters, soon you will be able to take the tram from the east to the west front."

If you are worrying about the alarmeinheite being to generic, how about including some second line German weapons, like for instance the lMG26(t) or MP18 derivatives?

In the German toe the Schreck teams in Infantry divisions carried K98k (or similar rifles) and the ones in Panzergrenadier or Fallschirmjäger units carried smgs.

Just a guess, but is it possible that Luftwaffe can't take them?

I never had the feeling that the characters in the series were all that sympathetic. I mean just look at how fanatical and racist the nurse is at the beginning.

Sten MKII to be exact.
