Yeah, when I was little, I got curious as to what I would see at the end of that bridge; they didn't shoot Hans, but they did kill me a few times, "accidently".

That happened, because in the stock Prague 1 mission there were 3 German soldiers standing at the middle of the bridge. As i remember correctly, they spawned as soon as the player got close to them, so the Russians could kill the player and his team (as well as Hans) accidentally while shooting at those 3 Germans. As You know i removed those 3 Germans from the bridge, because the whole scene looked only like an execution not a fair fight.

Yeah, i know about tracer ammunition. However, not all rounds were tracers - only few of them to help the gunners aiming.

However, i didn't hear about tracer ammo for submachine guns and rifles.

The tracer ammunition was mostly used in combat aircrafts. In addition they varied in color when fired.

Play the IL-1946 Sturmovik flight simulator for example - there are few community made mods to implement tracer ammo - it looks way different (and better) than those awful "orange lines" from stock H&D Deluxe...which cannot be called "tracer ammo" at all.

Well, one has to remember, Hidden and Dangerous isn't exactly a brand new game.

Different colors indeed; the American-made SAW LMG has orange tracers, but the Russian-made RPK has green tracers.

By the way: did you Myron even reply to my Youtube comments?

Your comments under my Youtube videos seemed to be like: "i am an oracle and my judgments cannot be wrong", LOL.

In Poland we used to have a saying for that: revealed truth (Prawda objawiona in Polish language). It means, that You cannot argue with it...

[Myron]

*an oracle.
If the word starts with a vowel, (a,e,i,o,u,), than you use "an" instead of "a".

"In Poland, we used to have a saying for that"

Just a friendly correction.

[Myron]

Anyway, no, I am not trying to be a showoff or anything, I am merely making observations, and voicing an opinion, which isn't a sin or anything.

[Myron]

Now, now, don't be mean.
I promised you I would help your English when I can.

And I thank you for the Polish lesson.

EDIT: LOL, no, I didn't read your message. You deleted it before I came to read it.

Another EDIT: Ah crap, I didn't pay attention; the scientist's name is Franz, not Hans. Good thing he needs me to protect him, or he might get mad at me for not paying attention to his name.

Thank You. I will keep this in mind for future.

I always wondered which form is correct.

I know this is off topic but...

How would be the past tense from infinitive verb "shoot"?

I always had problems with that as you know.

The Google Translate not always is the best choice when you need a word to be translated and it completely fails when you want to translate a whole sentence, LOL.

[Myron]

"Shot".

If before: "Myron will shoot the German."
"The German will be shot." Or "shot at"*.

If during: "Myron is shooting the German", or "Myron is shooting at the German"*.

If after: "Myron shot the German", or "Myron shot at the German"*.

*If I am missing, or if you can't see the German get hit.

[p.jakub88]

"Shot".

If before: "Myron will shoot the German."
"The German will be shot." Or "shot at"*.

If during: "Myron is shooting the German", or "Myron is shooting at the German"*.

If after: "Myron shot the German", or "Myron shot at the German"*.

*If I am missing, or if you can't see the German get hit.

Thank You for the explanation!

I will need to remember that.

Now it is my turn:

"Strzelał"

Myron będzie strzelał do Niemca (before).

Myron strzela do Niemca (during).

Myron strzelał do Niemca (after).

Simple isn't it?

P.S. I replied to your comment under my YouTube video from Prague 1 mission (the last comment).

[p.jakub88]

I decided to make another update of the Prague 2 mission - before i record the gameplay and upload it on my Youtube channel.

Beside already implemented changes i made few new ones:

- removed the group of Russian soldiers, that attacked parallel and closest to the mission start point (the instructor didn't mention them during briefing);

- added "Potato masher" grenades to some enemy soldiers inventory;

- small bugs fixed.

Please download and test this mission.

LOL, that's not fair!
You already speak and read English.

I wouldn't even know how to start pronouncing what you wrote.

[Myron]

I haven't downloaded Prague 2 yet, because I always thought the Russians attacking parallel to us were to make up for the Russians that the instructor says are attacking from the South-East.

If I remember correctly, there are no Russians in the South-East, contrary to what the instructor says.

I still say that there should be some vehicles on both sides of this mission; Jeeps and T-34s for the Russians, and some motorcycles and PzIVs for the Germans.
We are a commando team stuck in the middle of a battle that isn't ours, after all.

Speaking of the battle, are the Germans hoping for a Ju-52 evacuation, or are they hoping for a signal to retreat along the dirt road towards the cardboard-cutout town? Or are they all SS fanatically fighting to the last man?
