And Generals — Heroes

Heroes and Generals: The Unsung Heroes of War

Core Concept

• Infantry: The backbone. Slow, vulnerable, but capable of capturing checkpoints. The gun modification system was surprisingly deep for its time, allowing you to swap triggers, barrels, and ammo types to tune a rifle to your exact preference (at a steep credit cost).
• Recon: The snipers. They had access to scoped rifles (like the K98k with a 8x scope vs. the M1903 Springfield) and camouflage. They could also call in "Recon planes" to spot enemies for the entire team.
• Tankers: H&G simulated tank combat better than Battlefield but was less punishing than War Thunder. Armor angling, crew compartments, and ammo racks mattered. A well-placed shot to the turret ring could disable a Sherman, forcing the crew to bail out or repair.
• Paratroopers: Deployed inside the RTS layer, Paras dropped behind enemy lines into the current battle zone. There was nothing quite like the terror of a Fallschirmjäger landing on the rooftop of the church you were defending.
• Fighter Pilots: The "sky gods" of H&G. The air combat was fast, twitchy, and incredibly rewarding. A single skilled pilot in a heavy fighter (like the P-38 or the Me 410) could wipe out an entire tank column advancing on the capture point.

That was his plan, at least.
