Ingame screenshots
« on: April 03, 2011, 11:40:06 PM »
Why not make some of our favorite screenshots public?
- No such reason! Let' put together a gallery of nicely shaped ones.

I only humbly suggest not to publish some excessively brutal ones, if you happen to have such (torn apart people etc.)

This one is from a two-hour competitive game (with strategic points) on "metal and rails". We even managed to be at par on number of infantry casualties (about a thousand each side), while being ahead in number of destroyed tanks by about 30 (60+ on our account)!
Why I am describing all this? Well, it was the only game to turn that long and mercilessly bloody for me on that map ever. And I don't even have a damn replay (I deleted it about a week ago with all the unnecessary/outdated crap) :'(
Oh, yeah, about 15-20 percent (or so it appeared) of my casualties were due to "God of War": I've seen two of my guard squads vanish in bloody rain with one shell right in front of my twitching eyes, before the blood-lust had me blinded >:(
The level of play was rather at medium, since a really good players would have made short work of me and my occasional companion, I guess.

Yeah...  :D
There were actually 3 shreks in that squad (a bug?), so it killed-off stugs in no time!  8)

Sure. We could do with a Screenshot thread, think i'll sticky this.

Although, I think people should be able to post whatever they want... brutal or otherwise.

Did always like this early screenshot we showed off before release when v1.0 was nearing completion.

@BurroDiablo
I still oppose to any excessive and explicit violence (such as dismembered bodies), since I consider myself a humanist, and, I hope, others mind themselves that as well.

Seems strange to me that you get queasy from gory screenshots, yet the in-motion doesn't bother you... ???

I have a few old screenshots i can post if you like:

Well, you know, I'll kill a man without a slightest doubt, if necessary, but I won't hang a picture of his corpse above my bed.

Enough OT. I'm out on that.

Well, I doubt people will post pictures of just body parts as they don't make for interesting screenshots, although I wouldn't cast somebody down if they posted an image of a howitzer shell landing in the heat of battle and there just happens to be something that resembles a dismembered corpse being flung into the air because of it.

Anyway, some more images.

Partisan smash!




I didn't do that last one, I just remember seeing it and thinking 'Neat'... it's not even that interesting, it's just... moody.

I live in Africa. Humanism is... well... kind of a dirty word around here.  :'(

Wish I had my screenshot of my recon plane attack. The Wehr player had a Flak 88 set up, with a forward HQ not too far from it, guarding it were 2 MGs, a couple gren squads with shrecks and a Nebelweffer.

I called in a recon plane to see if I could find any other units, such as PaKs expecting an approach and possibly get a bomb run to obliterate them.

The Flak 88 immediately shoots the recon plane down. I'm sitting there cursing the enemy to death when I realize what just happened:

The plane went directly down towards the flak, giving a direct collision into the Foward HQ, destroying the building and some of the MGs/Grens near it. The flak took extremely heavy damage (The explosion killed the crew!) I was so thrilled, in essense I had inflicted about a 1000+ manpower loss on the enemy, sad I don't have that replay :(

No the Stuka screenshot isn't from another mod; I took the screenshot while watching my EF replays.  My skinpack just has the Stuka do the AT runs instead of the Henschel.  I finally got the siren sound for it working today too, so I got excited and posted some screens.
