Danlo´s view on 1.27 Open Beta

(May 16th - 3rd Panzergruppe)
(OKH) Kommandeur Danlo, 3rd Panzergruppe, OIC4 1. Kampfgruppe, 2. Panzerdivision, gives his view on the Beta: " The Mortars are pretty cool. Simple to use, go prone. deploy it, left to right adjustments are just like aiming your rifle(move the mouse) range is Page up/Page down in Increments of 25m, fire like a normal Inf weapon. Mortar HE and bombs are working properly as far as kill radius is concerned. And they have a new graphic which is much cooler looking aswell. I have yet to try ATG or Tank HE yet, will post something once I do.

I hopped in a 109g and it seemed nice, but when I got to target if I got within 2k of town my FPS dropped to 1-2 and after skirting around this "barrier" for several minutes I CTD'd. So I'll let you Flyboys get in there and make your own assesments. I have yet to try out a supply truck, but it appears they are the same as a regular Opel. By that I mean theres not a seperate unit in the spawnlist for it. Just Opel, 251 and HT. Perhaps theres a key to hit just as you would to deploy a MS, except this is an Ammo point? Will look further into later.

1 issue thats sticking out so far is that it appears you die instantly with no audio, just black screen. There were several guys reporting this as a bug thinking they just randomly died but I think its tied to the shrapnel effect HE now has."

At the same time, Xanthus have published the first Mortar guide http://discussions.playnet.com/showthread.php?t=174946
