However its recoil is so massive that it can only be fired when prone, its reload time is 5 seconds, and all standard rifles (and the Reichsrevolver) can kill with one hit to an exposed body part anyway - and in a game where target acquisition, mobility, and firing quickly is important, the limited turn range and set-up is a killer. It fires 13.7mm rounds which can One-Hit Kill through sandbags, 'bulletproof' steel observation plates, or up to half a metre of solid earth - or two in the open.
Landsers - Gott mit Uns! (God is with us!).Belgians: Voor de Koning! (For the King!).Tirailleurs Sénégalais - Impavidum Ferient Bella!.Poilus - Honneur et Patrie! (Honour and Fatherland!).Highlanders - In My Defens God Me Defend!.This can happen long enough to cue black comedy from the players. Retreat! Retreat!: What a typical game will go down as in every case (That is, teams take turn attacking territory and defending it - a successful attack immediately has the attackers defend it and opposing team to counterattack it). Anachronism Stew: Since the uniform changes are tied to squad progression and weapons to personal progression, it can be entirely normal to see, for example, a French soldier dressed in a brightly-coloured dress uniform from 1914 using a semi-automatic rifle only issued towards the end of the war.All unrealistic, but necessary for performance and gameplay purposes.

Here's what you'll be seeing:
