Introducing NoClassBobBass Options

[NoClassBobBass]

hello there I'm from PEI Canada im 32 years old i find myself becoming really addicted to this game
i would like to thank the mob clan for these wonderful servers my friend and I really enjoy being able to watch our stats. I find my stats are not at the top but im usually in the top 5 -3 in every game i find my willingness to sacrifice myself to get back and defend bases tends to hurt my kill stats but it does help the team win and thats what I'm all about
thanks for making my evenings fun and i look forward to playing with you all or killing you all if your against me next time

Welcome man, I like people who try to play realistic, like actually taking cover and stuff without runnin gun.

Interesting topic here; -as you know I'm generally a run n gun player and I used to take and give alot of flak on so-called 'realistic' CoD servers. The servers hosters would often babble about not charging in the open because it wasn't 'realistic'- their belief was that all infantry in WW2 followed todays tactics of fire and movement in combat. However for many years I've read many a biography account of grunts of the period and generally fire and movement was usually the tactics only of elite German units and British paras. From all the 'real' accounts I've read, U.S paras of the time were fearsome because of their dash and lethal run and gun effectiveness.... one episode that stands out if I recall correctly is of a para bursting into a German messhall on D-day night, where he took occupants by surprise and mowed down a couple of dozen with his submachinegun. In Normandy and the Bulge paras made successful charges across open fields with guns blazing from hips and not taking cover/going prone in the entire attack- yes, they took lots of casualties in the process. Russian human wave infantry attacks were generally little more than shoulder to shoulder [crummy generals!!!]. I've read of even British regular infantry walking in line in their attacks blazing weapons from the hip ahead of them. It was probably the Brit Paras undoing at Arnhem that they cautiously moved through Arnhem's outskirts with 'taking cover' tactics against a very inferior sized but cunning German garrison. In so doing, that first day, little more than a battalion out of an entire division made it to the bridge as German reinforcements soon arrived to sway the balance. I have a feeling the 82nd or 101st US airborne divisions would've accomplished that mission better with their dashing/gunning somewhat reckless tactics- a style which I doubt they'd employ nowadays unless someone cares to correct me on that.
