Whoever asked the crash thing, yes it has crashed once when I have been playing on it but it happened because someone drow over someone on slaughtered. Was he in BE jeep or something. And I had medium chaingun too on the Crossroad where Trid3nt and Broccoli and all other guys were testing stuff and it had big spread. I shot to a wall two NF medium tank length farther away and the area where the bullets hit was same size as BE jeep's size is side ways. So I would say those guns need at least a bit more accuracy because now you can't even kill anything two tanks farther away from you if you don't have MGs on.
When dizzy asked some of us to come test the new weapons settings, Dee was in a tank with a chaingun and had to kill all of us (infantry) with it. If i was close by, i was dead almost instantly no matter what kind of cover i had, from a far distance i could take her out if i had cover, from medium range i was killed very easily if standing up and running, but i noticed that when going prone at medium distance you barely get hit (she hit me 4 times, leaving me with only a few hp left, but her entire clip was empty by that time). I think that's fine. It CAN be very effective if used wisely, but at least if driven by a noob it's no longer a weapon of terror.
Beerdude has some European mirrors on the BSID website, somewhere, though I'm from the UK and I've never had any issues with the regular server.
yeah but since release of final 1.08 is close we can wait few weeks i think it would be better but if you have someone who can host european server id say krenzo would allow it
http://www.bsid-clan.com/downloads/ BTW I don't get you people. I live in the Netherlands I've never had any lag on the servers except for server lag. Also I've always been able to download the RCs @ 400 KBps
The RCs are fast to download for me too, i'm betting it's your download speed, Cpu speed (possibly), internet provider, etc.
realism is not a concern in Empires development, the developers have made that clear countless times. the only time realism makes it in is when it works good in gameplay, like iron sights.
