Title: "Festung Europa" by Jackboot Games (Darkest Hour 2!)

The developers behind the Darkest Hour mod for Red Orchestra: 1939 - 1945 are currently working on their next game based on CryEngine 3. They've committed to create the successor to Darkest Hour, this time as a standalone game. "Festung Europa" is primarily based in the Commonwealth sector of the Normandy invasion front and will feature fierce and realistic combined arms first person combat between the units that were there on large and detailed maps.

It's in early alpha still and they honestly pick up many things from the community with every voice heard! I've offered advice on there myself and seen it applied in some of the dev update screenshots.

Yeah, never liked the Company of Heroes games, once you play Men of War you are just unable to touch CoH since it feels unbelievable unrealistic, not saying that MoW is extreme realism but... CoH honestly just feels arcade styled.

Anyhow, will this game be somewhat like Iron Front: Liberation 1944? Apart for the different engine that is?

I'd be disappointed if its like iron front.  I think it's too early to tell. I never played in cry engine before, got no idea what's the HUD/ gameplay like. I'm going for just a upgraded Darkest Hour gameplay.

It will have a Red Orchestra feel since that's where the dev team is based out of. However, if you ever played the Darkest Hour mod for Red Orchestra: Ostfront '39 - '45, then you have your answer. They're aiming to recreate Darkest Hour in a better engine with better graphics and more features and pushing for more realism and only a hair's slower gameplay than the last game.

I think the main reason why people like playing as Germany is because they had some of the best equipment at the time, the most stylish uniforms and because of generally being considered the best soldiers at the time, although that is just general opinion i guess.

I'm up for a Panzergrenadier battalion, it would feel pointless to be Fallschirmjagers though, considering they didn't do an(barely any) paradrops, and had lighter weaponry than the PzGrens, and lacked mechanization or motorization. It doesn't sound like much fun to run around the map on foot, and then be killed by an AFV and not being able to do anything about it since you lack heavy weapons.

Best soldiers? the Germans lost the vast majority of battles against the Western allies after the initial setbacks, including most even fights.

I don't know what best equipment they had either, was it their inferior tanks, inferior planes or was it the inferior small arms? the only real piece of equipment they had that was unmatched was the StG44, and we all know how much of a difference those made.

Post by: kpetschulat on September 18, 2013, 04:16:41 pm
Doc, I'm sorry, but I'm not sure you know what you're talking about this time. The German tanks later in the war were the best. Early in the war, no... but, they were able to take on anything. the PzKpfw Koenigs-Tiger was the most powerful tank of the war, expensive too. The StuG IV was a powerful fixed assault gun/tank able to provide devastating long-ranged anti-tank or anti-infantry fire. The StuH was it's longer-ranged howitzers counterpart.The MG42 was the most accurate and easy to use MG of the war, the Kar98k was so widely used, along with the Mp40, that soldiers from the US and British Commonwealth were highly known for looting these weapons and using them instead of their own based on their functionality and power. The Fg42 was the first modern squad assault weapon/infantry assault rifle, the STG44 being the first modern assault rifle. The German stahlhelm was able to deflect most allied bullets, and saved the lives of many Germans from snipers and shrapnel. The German gear was easily changed based on theater and weather, was lightweight, but provided magnificent protection. Also, don't forget that most of the German soldiers and officers were veterans from 20 years before during WWI.

Also, Hitler was a tactical-idiot and couldn't command armies for shit, and killed many of his generals to replace them with basic soldiers who did good in a battle. So, the reason for German defeats is due to inexperienced newly-appointed young generals that didn't know how to command anything above a feldwebel rank.

Post by: Docm30 on September 19, 2013, 12:16:37 am
You're talking about performance on a shooting range and failing to take into account the absolute most important thing in warfare; logistics. Sure, it took three Shermans to knock out a Panther, but where the Germans could make one Panther the allies could make ten Shermans because of its simplicity and superior design. The Sherman was also more mobile, far easy to repair in the field and suffered none of the engine and track problems ubiquitous to German tanks. It's for those reasons the the Western allies won tank engagements.

The MG42 wasn't even well liked by the Germans, who almost all preferred the lighter and more reliable MG34. It wasn't the most accurate, that was the M1919 (which was also far simpler, thus the reason over 5 million were made). Easy to use doesn't really mean anything, so I won't address that. The K98 was superior only in its accuracy over a kilometre, but battles were rarely fought at those distances on the Western front. They were fought much closer, where the larger magazines and higher firing rates of the Enfield and Garand made them far more valuable weapons.

The MP40 was, at best, a dangerous and unreliable weapon. The firing pins were fragile and broke constantly, the open bolt meant the weapon as prone to firing when bumped, the magazines often didn't seat well, the bakelite parts were fragile and overall it wasn't even that simple to make. The Thompson by comparison was complicated, but extremely reliable and very useful in the field, if somewhat heavy. The STEN had a lot of problems early on, but they were all solved by '43 (whereas the MP40 got progressively worse as the German industry crumbled) and the result was a very effective, unbelievably simple and almost impossible to break beyond repair weapon. The Western allies only used German weapons when forced to. I've never heard of them swapping out perfectly good weapons for German ones.

The Commonwealth lacked a machine-gun equivalent to the MG42 or the M1919, but that was a very deliberate choice based on the expectation that the war was going to be highly mobile and fought at close ranges. Obviously their choice paid off. The BREN was used in huge numbers by the Germans because it was the best light machine-gun of the war and highly suited to the kind of combat that occurred on the Western front.

The FG42 and StG44 were good weapons at a firing range, but useless for war. They were both overly complicated and impossible to produce in useful numbers. That makes them effectively useless. The FG42 was especially problematic as it was not only complicated, it was also unreliable and prone to a whole number of problems. From what I understand even the Fallschirmjager didn't care for it.

The Stahlhelm was no more bullet proof than the allied helmets (as in not bullet proof at all). It wasn't made of some kind of magic steel. Even modern combat helmets, made of far better materials and facing weapons no more powerful, aren't even close to bullet proof.

Gear wise, there was no equipment more modular, more comfortable and more effective than the P37 equipment, which is still used today in a modified form.

I don't think anyone on Earth doubts that German planes were worse than British, American, Russian and Japanese planes.

the PzKpfw Koenigs-Tiger was the most powerful tank of the war, expensive too.

Most powerful in terms of what? in terms of the same gun that was on a number of other tanks, and was a pea-shooter compared to the ML-20, or the comically weak engine that was totally incapable of pulling the immense weight of the tank? we're talking about tanks that suffered more loss from their own crews than from the enemy. Not exactly a good sign.

As an aside, why add 'PzKpfw' if you're not going to call it by its correct designation?

You have a source for this? because I'm pretty sure most German soldiers were recruits from the 30's and 40's.

The idea that the Germans were superior and lost only because of Hitler is a total myth, which is acknowledged by all legitimate historians as a myth. They lost not only because they were badly lead, but because their system of logistics was simply horrible (they were still making extensive use of horses in 1944), they equipment was unreliable and impossible to produce in sufficient numbers, and they weren't as well trained as the Western allies. They weren't well trained because they started a bunch of pointless wars, stretched themselves thin and were forced to call up millions of useless men.

And thank baby Jesus for it. Not the starting wars part, but the badly losing them part.

Well, I could get into Germany's deeply ingrained culture of hatred and xenophobia in the 19th and early 20th centuries that gave rise to myths like the superiority of the German army, but this is a video-game thread, so...

I sure hope that concept art on the website is wrong, because I swear if I see Mk. II helmets on the 3rd Canadian Division it'll cost them a sale. Then again we are are talking about a team that had the Royal Winnipeg Rifles landing on Nan White in DH. Ridiculous.

Post by: Archduke Sven on September 19, 2013, 10:24:50 am
Docm, sure you can piss on the Germans in the later years when they started losing the war, but in the early years they were the one of the best, if not the best 1st rate army once on the field. Yes i do think your point that their logistics we're bad is completely valid, the fact that they weren't even partially mechanized even at the end of the war is an obvious flaw.

However, this is understandable since they basically had less than 10 years to completely rearm and increase the size of their army from a tiny 100 000 man armed forces becoming 2 million. Not mentioning that apart from producing brand new weaponry and equipment, while modernizing their army to modern standards, creating an air force from scratch and rearming your navy. Quite the task when your industries aren't huge and you have limited time.

Fact is still there that, they were able to outweight the odds of only having 10 modern divisions, being numerically outnumbered in almost everything and being up against partially mechanized armies and defeating them in what is now known as the battle of France.

The reason why they were able to do this is because their soldiers we're better educated and trained, the Wehrmacht put a lot of time in educating their NCOs and Officers, much more than contemporary armies that still relied on only higher ranking officers making the orders and all subordinates rigidly following their orders. While the Germans used a much more fluid leading by task doctrine, that of course required better trained NCOs and junior Officers.

That along with brilliant divisional commanders and planners like Von Manstein, Guderian, Rommel and Model (?) (several of these would become Field Marshals), along with the head leadership under decent Marshals like Von Rundstedt gave them a great victory.

We all know why Germany lost, alright, most of us do atleast. However the main reason i like playing as Germany is because i have this underdog feeling for the armed forces. Yes, feels stupid saying it since they we're responsible for numerous war crimes and terrorizing Europe, but as i still prefer playing as the side who is fighting the world, desperatly, rather than steamrolling an outnumbered and outgunned country, eventhough thats what they had done just a few years before. Considering the time setting though, thats why i'd prefer playing as the Germans (And because i love their uniforms, they just give a striking look that i like).

New update that's been long in the waiting. They've been pretty hard at work creating 1:1 scale battlefields and the one they've showcased is a complete redo of the Juno Beach map if anyone remembers it from Darkest Hour. Fingers crossed that it's 10x better than the one from DH which was pretty mediocre. Here's some screenies.

I just thought it would be funny with the 12th considering most people who play this are youths anyways.

Other than that i would enjoy playing any mechanized infantry unit like the LSSAH, or 2nd SS, or the Panzer-Lehr, or even the 6th Fallschirmjaeger Regt. that was stationed in Carentan.

Besides, the 50th fought in nearly every major engagement of the European theater. As compared to the 7th AD (not even in Normandy), the 1st AB, and the 43rd ID.

I would be much more open to the Guards Armoured though.

Nope. Nothing free about what they fought for. Nothing noble about fighting for international finance and bolshevism.
BFC fought for Britain. For their countrymen and the future of Britain, not for their corrupt government which led hundreds of thousands of Britons to their deaths, in vain.

Oh. Were there no Scandinavian divisions in Normandy at all? :'(

Nope, the non-German SS units signed up to kill communist pigs, not the Western Allies. Thus almost all foreign SS units stayed on the Eastern front, with notable exceptions amongst the Dutch and Belgian volunteers who were sent back in late '44 to fight to defend their homeland.

The main W-SS units present at Normandy where the 1. LSSAH, 2. 'Das Reich', 9. 'Hohenstaufen', 10. 'Frundsberg', 12. 'Hitlerjugend', 17. 'Götz Berlichingen', and the 101. and 102. Schwere-Panzer-Abteilung (Micheal Wittman served in the 101.).

Probably forgot one or two.

I'd also like to add that the 17. SS Pz.Gr.-Div. wasn't all German, it was German, Romanian Volksdeutsche and French (Alsatians).

Well there were 2 Dutch W-SS divisions, and a brigade. the two Divisions were called the 23. SS Panzergrenadier Division 'Niederlande', and 34. SS Friewilliges-Grenadier-Division 'Landstorm Niederland'. Only the 34th saw action in the Western front and that was after Normandy, but they did make it in time to fight in Belgium before being pushed back to the Netherlands. They eventually fought against the Allies Dutch brigade called Prinses Irene Brigade.

Apparently Theel is remaking Bridgehead to make it more streamlined and also making a tanker's version of it. DH has been fairly populated lately compared to recent months. Crossing my fingers for a regular populated server running Darkest Orchestra!

There will be no airborne units modeled or maps made for them at initial release of FE. Planes, parachuting scripts, AA guns, there's a lot there to make to do it properly and that's what Festung Europa (Fortress Europe) is all about doing.

A little late, but made in the CryEngine3 by JBG. Lest we forget.

First time I bought the game back in '11 (Wish I found out about it sooner!) I did a little bit of controls and weapon familiarization with the bots. They aren't anything to write home about and are dumb as bricks - multiplayer is what the game is about.

One of the most satisfying bits of RO is hip-firing. It takes a while to master, but once you have it down you'll be amazed at some of the shots you'll pull off.

I was playing the original RO a couple nights ago and popped a German coming around a corner with a MP-40 at 3m with a M44 Mosin carbine super quick. Gave me CoD bolts only flashbacks. It's great getting back into the game.

Long story short, one moderator removed the thread and banned me, then another moved it back and unbanned  me, then the previous moderator removed it again.

Will try to sort it out tomorrow.

By the looks of it, him being banned and the thread being removed is true, then being unbanned. Don't know about the thread getting put back up though.

The devs have been making posts on their forums, the game is not even close to being dead, they just are working on a lot of 'under the hood' coding related stuff that can't really be shown. Their next update will cover features and mechanics shown in-game; I don't know if that means more screenshots or some footage but its coming.

Game is ded.

Jk.

Sadly the images are renders, not in game, those nice animations in the renders are not the ones you will be using. Sad truth, I just hope mechanics are nice and smooth.
