Now that THAT's over with...

Lets get to the good stuff!

Aim down your sights!

I see too many people NOT doing this. No idea why - maybe they think this is Call of Duty and that they can just rambo their way through waves of Krauts with the Lee Enfield.

...well you can... if you AIM DOWN YOUR SIGHTS.


If you FAIL to aim down your sights then you're most likely not going to hit anyone.

ALWAYS Hold your Breath in Combat.

W0Lf94n9 will cry himself to sleep hearing me say that, bless his little heart.

Yes, ALWAYS hold your breath when trying to shoot some bloke in the face so that he is kill. It makes the weapon sway near non-existant and slightly *EVER SO SLIGHTLY* zooms in your FOV to make hitting Jerry slightly more easier.

This is a controvercial topic because if you managed to read the crossed out text at the top, you'll probably find out pretty soon that SOME people are entirely against this mechanic. Well screw them, I say!

THEY MAY TAKE OUR FREEDOM because honestly who gives a ♥♥♥♥ aboot freedom nowadays BUT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE OUR BREATH...AWAY...

Cook your Grenades

How to Cook your Grenades

First, you need the correct Ingredients

• Potato Masher Grenade
  
• Frying Pan
  
• Flour
  
• Hands

Set the oven Temperature at around 420 Degrees Celcius. Chuck the Grenade into the Frying Pan and insert the Frying Pan into the oven after you poured the whole bag of flour in it. Wait for 5 minutes and then take the Frying Pan out of the oven.

THEN you pull the pin, wait for three seconds with the grenade in hand then throw it!

Cooking your grenade for 3 seconds will result in your enemies being unable to react to the grenade landing next to them, leaving you a couple nice juicy kills.

Just make sure it doesn't land right next to you, or else this might happen.

It's not the ♥♥♥♥♥♥' netcode ;-;

It's the fact that the bullets take time to travel towards your target.

So say that a German is moving towards to the right - you'll have to aim slightly more to the right in front of him so that the bullet manages to hit him.

Get used to this method and you'll be camp sniping 24/7 on Picardie racking up dem keelz.

Speaking of sniping...

Sniping

Wanna be a good qwikscopur?

Step 1: Find a good camping spot because you are scrublord
Step 2: Grab your Sniper Rifle
Step 3: Unleash Hell
Step 4: Profit

Here's an example of a good camping spot.

Location of Sniping Spot_______________________________________Inside the Sniping Spot.


These are both the same places. You're very concealed in this spot and have a good view of the Enemy trench and most of Nomansland, so you'll be able to cover your teammates with relative ease and safety.

After you've assumed the position... well...


You get the Idea.

Meanwhile in the Enemy Trench

Machinegunning

When it comes to machinegunning, you're going to want to make sure you're as concealed as possible. Note that your head will ALWAYS be visible and so will your MG's muzzle flash, so you will have to relocate every now and then.

The German's MGs are known to be devastating when defending with their fast rate of fire and overall firepower. Many people have complained about it, but I doubt we'll get much change from it. The downside to their MGs is that you cant hipfire them/fire them when they're unmounted.

However, with the Entente's MGs, especially the Lewis gun, they're possibly even more effective firing from the hip than aiming. Why?




WHAT IS THIS. THESE ARE HORRIBLE IRON SIGHTS! YOU CAN BARELY SEE OUT OF THEM!

Please, Dev Team. I love ya an all, but SERIOUSLY. You need to fix these sights.

Anyway, you can use other machineguns in the game to rambo your way through enemy trenches, including the Lewis Gun.

Melee Combat

Melee Combat is only good under certain circumstances.

Those Circumstances Include:

• If you're in CQC (Close Quarter Combat)
  
• If you're out of ammo.
  
• If you're stealthily killing enemies behind the backs of other enemies.

Banzai charging in an enemy trench is always fun, but VERY risky - especially if it is at mid-long range. Flank-Banzai charging is also VERY satisfying and very effective.

For example: I flanked a German position in Artois, where around 7 of them were camping in the right corner of their trench attempting to survive the Entente onslaught. I walked right behind them then stabbed them in the ass with a Trench Knife. The reason I preferable would use a melee weapon in this situation is because firing your weapon would alert the other guys to your position because:

• Firing your weapon at them would jolt their view, and give them a vague idea of where you are.

By the way, it is always advisable you play this in the background whilst stealthily stabbing everyone in the ass in the enemy trench: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNeJ8yC-tMc

Call out to your Officer where you want Artillery Strikes!

Your officer does not have eyes everywhere you know. Sometimes you'll need to shout out to him WHERE you want him to bombard. For authenticity, I like to yell "ALLAHU AKBAR" before a bomb hits the target. Like so:

That's all, kids!

Have a good day ;-;

GHOST FISH OF PICARDIE CONFIRMED!?

Background on the Ghost Fish of Picardie: The Ghost Fish of Picardie was once, in life, a German officer of the rank "Captain". The German's used these fish as their new Wunderwaffe, as they were easily able to swim thorugh the muddy depths of Ypres and Flanders.

However, there is near to no water located anywhere in the Picardie region, so naturally Cpt. Fish got mowed down on the spot, in between the tree-line next to the tank.

Ballistics reports show that Cpt. Fish was using the Tank as cover, but as the British started bombarding that area, he hot-finned it to the treeline, only to get gunned down by a Lewis Gunner camping like a ♥♥♥ in his trench.

This would explain why the apparition appears to be a Muzzle Flash from a machine gun in the shape of a fish.

[Black Joshi]

Shit, it's been a while since i've seen this guide. Didn't expect it to be so uhh... frequented.

@Zooasaurus - you can get the MLG Kaiser picture here http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/397798135984725726/915606D5D8AF4E417BEBC415630BCB4473555A80/

It was made by my good friend Supremi_Moose and I posted it somewhere on the Verdun artwork for him, as I believe he didn't have Verdun at the time and I actually asked him to do it for me.

@TheeDugster - Fite me fucklord, I'm ripped.
