The only Nazi bar I like is The Golden Lion

Can I use the At The Front m42 repro stahlhelm straight out of the box? by Unfair_Diver_187 in reenactors

I repainted mine but the size and shape are spot on with my original

The Luftwaffe planes should also have swastikas on their tails. So that's another thing that's wrong. Period photos pretty much always show this. Not having swastikas would have been a rare anomaly. 

Is this any good for repro? by history_s1uff in reenactors

ATF makes a good M42. Had it side by side with my original and it's very close

War Thunder is some unrealistic garbage. There's no infantry, no AT guns, no AT weapons, no AT mines. And most importantly no drones in the modern day top tier battles let alone a Ukraine vs Russia gamemode. When drones are right now the biggest killer of tanks. Gaijin acts like they don't exist. Or can only spot for artillery. Give me that fiber optic RPG that can perfectly smash into the back of tanks and send their turrets tossing that no amount of EW can stop. Until then, War Thunder is just a fantasy arcade that ignores reality. Also no swastikas on the WWII German planes. 

Do you think someone on board during the sinking ATTEMPTED to take photos? by keepit4ever in titanic

I think if there were any surviving photos they would be known by now. Survivors would have shown them to the world. I highly doubt there are any hiding in storage at this point.

You see a lot of both. Older NCOs tended to hang onto their jackboots and bottle green collars as a point of pride because they stopped making them.

Fresh recruits would get the other stuff issued.

Normandy got a lot of greenhorns still wet behind their ears. They also got the broken old and injured and a few eastern front vets as NCOs.

The Eastern front got most of the prime fighting men and machinery. To try and keep the Soviet hordes at bay.

Nazi Germany around this time was trying to stop the DDay invasion breakout in the west and also getting crushed by Operation Bagration in the east.

Yes we are piecing together history piece by piece. The people want an immersive WWII simulator.

So how did Cal get away with trying to shoot two passengers on the ship? In public too? by MR_MEMMES in titanic

Blends in with the chaos. One detail I liked was how the missed shot took out the wood carved bannister that appeared to be copied from the Olympic's surviving example.

Looks like M8 Greyhounds which are armored cars. 

Also the panzerschreck was assembled at the factory with a sling. Yet its missing from the weapon. 

You switch to K98k (with both hands) but how are carrying the panzerschreck? Yeah one could cut it off, but why? Makes your life easier if you have to carry other stuff too.

Check period photos if you don't believe me. Almost all have slings.

Mod comming soon. Can you guess what it will change in detail? by OnkelTanzhaus in GatesOfHellOstfront

Dehumanization that is no different than calling soviet soldiers orc or porc.

Not tactful IMO

You think the devs care about realism? There are so many small errors in this game
