Aight, here's my review:
OverviewNice, the text makes you want to play the mission, since the concept seems different. You might want to pick a shorter title for the mission though. You can't see all the words in the mission list. The photo is nice but I would like to have seen it in passpartou, that is to say with a white "frame". And perhaps the photo should have been that of a real M1A1.
BriefingYou get a good idea what to do. It's short but everything you need to know is in there. Some grammar mistakes and such though:
"Will a attack", should be "Will attack"; in "Then, move onto... then along" you should consider replacing the second "then" with "continue", since repetitions are never nice; "linking up" should be "to link up" since it's not proper grammar; "thisroute" should be "this route" and also a "," after "route".
I liked the notes section because the personal letter gives you a feeling of realism.
IntroJust a quick zoom in on your tank. I don't care much for intros but it's nice to see yourself in the gunner position.
Playing the missionAight, I'm in the tank. I play in super duper veteran mode so I can only use the iron sight of the M2. We get a silent radio message that we are moving onto the objectives. Aight, here we go. The tanks roll on at good speed. You feel the power of the vehicles!
We approach Le Moule and before I can see the village the tanks open fire at the enemy. We then advance farther into the village. I MG down some bastards crawling around, but there's never any real danger of dying. At first, I had some problems hitting anything. I then discovered that the sight of the M2 wasn't like other iron sights: you need to aim lower.
Again I feel the furiousness of the vehicles as they blow the whole village to shreads, sweet! :gunman:
We proceed toward the observation post and I MG most of the guys lying there. I think this was a little strange. Why were they just lying there? And why didn't I see any RPG guys there?
All the tanks open fire at the MG and miss, over and over again. Trees fall and the sound of the shells is like thunder. Finally the MG explodes, we get a radio message to move on and the tanks do this.
We join up with the infantry and await the others.
The assault on Lementin becomes a massive one. Ruskies are flying everywhere from shell blasts and I must honestly say I was having problems hitting anything. My tank wanted to do all the killing itself so it was not easy to aim. It became like an eager battle horse. I yelled "Wooohaaaa" and stuff but it didn't help much. I've never ridden a horse.
My computer is an AMD 1800+, 256 RAM, Radeon 8500. The lag was horrible in Lementin, hence preventing me from making a just estimation of the scene.
Anyway, the battle was over quite fast. No friendly tanks had been destroyed that I could see, and I was still alive. We now moved up on a hill to face the rest of the Ruskies who were to make a counter-attack. This was my favourite part, since the tank stood still. I MGed most of the guys coming from the forest and suddenly the mission has ended.
OutroNone, which suits me just fine, although I like outros better than intros.
DebriefingTold you that you had won and that some M1A1 tanks had been destroyed or damaged. I don't know if you had other debriefings for different outcomes but I don't care much for debriefings anyway. This one was nice.
ConclusionI had fun, even though I experienced lag and difficulties with aiming. I think the mission was a little too easy. It could have been longer too. You should considering putting some more attackers at the end, trying to get Lementin back. Since you got a vulcan a helicopter could have come and attacked you and dropped some guys off. It would have been fun to MG parachutes, hehe.
Overall I had fun. The power you felt having that tank underneath you, sometimes blowing smoke in your face, was great. Keep up the good work.
Cheers
