ill tell you a war story filled with heroics, disapointment , and betral
it all started with a british para drop on a small town . the town was seperated by a river. most of the town was on the west side but there was a small army base and a supply depo on the east side. our engine reved up we had 12 ppl ready to drop. the leader of the mission was an insane fool. he wanted to do a drop right on the east armybase and try to take it with twelve para troopers!. it was a suicide mission. however things did not go at all as planed when we were just going over the large part of town on the west side and AA gun hit us! 2 men were killed insantly we all jumped out in mass histaria. the high speeds , high altitude and out of control plan sent us all flying in diffrent areas. i landed just outside the town in a small group of trees and bushes were i would be safe for a while. i watched the large feild were everryone else landed. i saw two enemy tanks pull up to within 100 meters of them. one each on oposit sides of the field
the tanks paused a minute as if they were waiting for them to surender. i heard large blasts of shots and everyone man fell to the ground. some started running but they coulded estcape the german tanks machine guns they fell back to the ground. i then waited for about 5 min. the sun was setting. i looked at my map. THERE WERE TWO MEN LEFT!. they were hiding in the aduct of a building i made my way toward their building witch was in the center of town. i got there without seeing any enemy. we all sat in that aduct. waiting . i kept hearing the german panzer tanks rolling by the building and down the streets searching for us. i heard on our brigade chat that there was another para drop forming to come and help us. i dont know what happend but that plane that promising us help never came. then somone offering to help us messaged me. he said if i could cap ( take over ) this one supply depo in town. other allies would be able to spawn in and join the fight and just mabye we would survive. we were on one side of the town the supply depo was on the other. we had to start moving. it was pitch dark now. i could see the nazies down the streets walking around searching. i knew if i fired my tomas sub machine gun that every soilder on the west part of town would know were we were
we crossed the dark streets one by one covering each other as the other ran. we knew the only chance of survival was to take that supply depo! we were up in a building about half way there when i heard a german rifle shot ring out. on of my 3 comrades fell to the ground. the german raised his rifle again to fire at me next. my other comrad quickly drew his pistol and fired 1 right in his head. ( he chosed the pistol cause it was much quieter than the smg). there was no time for weeping we still had a mission to complete. we stated to move. the supply depo was in eye sight. my friend messaged me again and said when we took the depo he would make a mission so other players could spawn in at that point and join the fight. there was some idiot german standing by the depo shooting his rifle in the air. i knew we would have to take him out silently i quickly and silently sprinted acrosed the street and behind him. i took out my knife and stabed him in the neck he fell to the ground instantly. we ran for the depo and got to the radio. ( for all those who dont play you need to stand infront of a radio table for about 2 min and then the depo is for your armys despense) we caped it without insadent. i told my friend over the radio that we were rdy for the mission to start. thats when his news shatterd my spine. after all that ,high command ( the guys who have been playing for 6 years and who are pretty much in charge of all the attacks and defenses) said that we need to focus on our defence and resupplying and could not take a risk of making an attack to save me and my comrad.
there was no hope now . we just had to wait for the gerries to come and kill us. but i was gonna take as many of them as i could first. 4 of them sprinted through the door. me and my comrad splaterd smg fire at them all four went down when i looked at my comrad who was to my left we was lying on his his back looking at the sky. he was dead and i would be soon. i ran out the door and looked for some area to hide but it was to late. there must have been 7 or 8 enemy on the street. i went to my neas and stated firing like a crzy man . around this time the sun was beganing to rise. all of a sudden i heard the german rifle sound and my screen went black. i was dead. when i looked at my kill list i had killed 7 nazies. they were 4 rifle men 2 smgs and one sniper. we all died as heros of the special air force brigade para drop

Besides that it shows bad sportsmanship and it is nothing that is tolerated within the WWII Online Community. Not even on the Allied side.
It would also help if you could actually learn to SPELL!!!
I'm sure it was an entertaining tale, full of heroics and derring-do, but frankly after the first couple of lines I couldn't be bothered trying to work out what you were saying.
If all else fails, try restricting yourself to words of one syllable .... something like "Bad men come, I kill" should be within your capabilities.
Enjoy yourself in game
I think that was uncalled for.
No matter the language was it a good story. Don't you think Kadesh.

I'm with Kadesh, I did however take the time to translate it, I would paste it off notepad, but I'm too lazy.
However, getting past the poor spelling/grammar, it's a nice story.

No Userbar here, sorry to disappoint.
Frankly no. The purpose of a story, particularly THAT story, was to convey not only what happened, but the emotions behind what happened.
You can't expect a reader to do that when they're spending their time trying to translate gibberish into English. It kinda breaks the mood, you know?
Spellcheckers are EVERYWHERE nowadays ... if you know you have a spelling problem, or a grammar deficiency, you owe it to your potential audience to run your tale through a spell/grammar checker before posting it.
I mean, it must have taken this guy 20 minutes to write his story ... for the sake of another minute or so he could have presented it in a way which was intelligible.
Is that so much to ask as a reader?
P.S. can someone please tell me where everyone was hiding in the building? (Paragraph 2, line 4). It's been driving me nuts
While I would agree its tough to enjoy a story if you are having trouble figuring out what is being said because of poor grammar and structure I think it would be best if we could keep our criticism as polite as possible so as not to discourage others who might want to share stories but are not native english speakers or just have difficulty with writing things in a clear and concise manner.
There are lot of spell checkers out there, and if you really are unsure how well your story is written ten you could always draft it in Notepad and let someone who could help you with it look at it afterward.
And thanx for sharing your story with us.
sry for the poor grammer and spelling i was up pretty late typing this lol ,(u know new years and all) ill carry a dictionary for now on.
o ya, and kadesh , U A BAD ASHzhole YUZS R , ( can you can translate that one?)
One time I had a 3H at around 3 in the morning, so it was very dark in a town...I think Charle...
I swear that no EI could see me, a I used all my machine gun ammo and most AP rounds to get over 55 kills in one sitting.
I was finally destroyed by an ATR...well my gunner was. The driver was in bad shape and the treads had been shot up. I turned around so slowly to get to the ATR...he thought I was completely gimped, I guess, because he didn't move. I stared at him, said " Good game friend" in /say and blew him away with my hull gunner =D
I never would have thought that ATRs could jack up 3H's side armor, which I think is some 20 - 30mm.

Im behind enemy lines in a mk4 panzer. Its night. I dont know the ground. Im driving through dark woods and open plain. I cross a metalled road at right angles. Im flanking a friendly town under attack from the allies. Suddenly the front end of the tank drops and i find myself at 40 degrees in a ditch. I open the hatch to look around and listen to distant fighting and wind. Then I begin to try to get my tank out of the ditch, knowing that I might be spotted by the enemy at any moment. After 30 minutes of pulling and jerking the tank every which way im still stuck. I take a look out through the gunsight and to my amazement see a sherman slowly going down the road which I had crossed earlier. I look up the road to check for more enemy and find it clear. With my tank pointing at all angles in this ditch and feeling the tension I manage to get my gun round and line it up with the sherman. With the range quickly calculated I make my shot straight into the back of the tank and it suddenly explodes with a big flash. Amazed at my luck I eventually get out of the ditch and carefully get back to my lines.
War is fun.
