The guiding principal in this game is FUN.
It has a ww2 theme, and models some of the vehicles and weapons from ww2, but that isnt what its all about. Its about fun gameplay.

The guiding principal of WW2 Online is/was to create a "simulation" of ww2, with as close to the real vehicles, weapons, and situations as existed in ww2.
Thats why WW2 Online limited tanks spawns, etc. because it wasnt "realistic" to have and endless number of tanks.

Battlefield 1942 doesnt worry about realism to that level, not even close.

Balance and gameplay are what this game is about.

Keep that in mind when you rip people who dont care about historical accuracy as much as you do.
WW2 Online is aimed at the sim fans. Battlefield 1942 is not.

They went out of there way to say that in many interviews and reviews, so nobody should be suprised.

Enjoy!
