I've read a couple of books on D-Day, they have it right in Band of Brothers, and I'm the fucking man. Hell, you know Guarnere, ask him. And this isn't the only thing SPR has backwards. The log ramps on the beach are backwards as well, and there are a number of other things wrong with that movie, granted it is probably the most realistic movie ever, I wouldn't use it as a D-Day bible.

There should be an M1 carbine. The thunder flash thing sounds great. You should be able to go to one knee, and completely prone (laying would increase accuracy or crosshair movement) Some weapons (BAR ect.) should cause the player to slow down. Ricochet's maybe?

wooooooo, easy man i was just asking. and i did ask richard winters not bill gaurnere about that a while back. he says the thunder, flash thing is used vice versa. just like i said. it goes either way. but we will have a flash and a thunder command. oh and those log boats are actually called higgins boats. and your right the 2nd ranger battalion companies didnt land on omaha on higgins boats, they were LCA's. or landing craft assault boats lead by the british.

[Kraut Killer]

Well... Charlie company of the 2nd Ranger Battalion landed in Higgins, as did a few others, because the LCA's were fitted with a rocket launcher with a grappling(sp?) hook attached so the Rangers could climb Pointe Du Hoc, HOWEVER... Charlie company DID land in Higgins boats because they weren't going to Pointe Du Hoc, they went to open the Viervelle exit with the 29th.

sorry thats not correct. i also know rangers such as leonard lomell and sidney saloman. sidney was a platoon leader of c-company and he didnt land on omaha on a higgins boat. he landed on a british LCA. i thought so too but he told me he landed on the beach from an british LCA and not a higgins boat. he lives in doylestown, PA

wow this mod will be great. EXCELLENT IDEAS! caparzo take notes!

[Kraut Killer]

Eh... maybe you're right, that's just what I've gathered from the Longest Day... it doesn't give a vivid description. Do you know the C-company CO?

[Fuzzywig]

you know that we consumers could make the most kick ass game ever???? reading these forums makes me think so. damn programming languages too complicated though... anyway i pray to god we can get all of these ideas into the mod. im so excited for all of this to come together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[[lld] Chow]

ok ok since ive last posted there have been tons of important comments and questions. first off there is a single player and mutiplayer mode for the mod. you will be playing not only as major winters in single-player. which ever vet we feel contributed the most in each mission you will be. i will talk to mr. chichi about the incorrect posting on the site. also there will be a carbine with fold-in stock. i know these vets because i am doing a senior project documentary on D-Day and it just so happens that all of these famous, important veterans leave near me! oh and NEVER EVER use the longest day as an accurate D-Day source. it is incredibly inaccurate! for christ sake john wayne is it, enough said on accuracy!

by the way for D-Day landings one should play as Guarnere and for the destruction of 105mm you should play as WInters, for attack on Carentan- Lipton and for Defence of Carentan- maybe Welsh.

M1 Carbine will more than likely be in the actual game, just we havent been able to see a complete list of weapons yet. I really dont like the idea of certain weapons slowing you down. It not the most realistic thing the world. A BAR would not cause you to have a slower running pace. Maybe you can run at full speed, but have to stop more often to regain stamina. Just like in DoD when you jump to much ? I've carried a few Assault Rifles and some Heavier Machine Guns and they dont slow you down, your arms grow tired after a while, but it doesnt really matter because you really only fire a HMG from the prone position. Also you can kneel and go prone (from what we've seen in the movies) so why would they need to include them in the mod as a mod ??

well killer,
im a part of the Bob team and i guess you're right. talk to our webmaster guy, mr. chichi. must have been poor research on his part. anyway, who cares if you do play him throughout the mod? it would save us alot of time...
