Bien bien! Tres beau video monsieur!

At 10:00 the tower you see, I think that is a water tower. Something like this:

Ha ha awesome :)

There won't be swimming in TW (imagine swimming in full combat gear), there will be smoke grenades/shells, tracers were used in WW2, and yeah, those pipes are ventilation tubes for the bunker beneath.

Another awesome video [MENTION=1254]sHaKeNbAkE[/MENTION]!

Yes that is an underground bunker hidden away apart from the ventilators ;)

Also well done to [MENTION=2108]Aniallator[/MENTION] for identifying the water tower. That's the exact one we used for our reference although typical of the area it's that photo is not from the immediate Pegasus area.

Glad you like the music Shake! :D

And great video, having seen a lot of fan break-down videos it's quite surreal to see one of something you're actually working on!

Shake, I completely agree with you about the music and the voice! It's incredible!! Cal is it possible to download or something by any chance? The trailer editing was very very well done! Props to whoever made it! :)

tracers were used in WW2


I would note that tracers weren't used nearly as much as some people would like. For ground combat, tracers were a very good way to show to the enemy exactly where your position is. Because of this, and also simple lack of issue to infantry, most machine guns in real life, and in TW, did not/will not have tracers. Tracers were really an AA thing.

As well, tracers were used in planes, but same as the infantry, it gave away the position of the fighters, therefore it signaled where they came from. After the tracers were removed, the success rate of fighters went up!

I think that with swimming it would become very un balanced, because people would start to swim across so they would ruin the experience

Good to hear. I recall a combat memoir saying how machine gunners commonly removed tracer rounds from their belts.
