I think a tankie class would perform well in a real army. Why has no one thought of this yet?

    The comics establish Heavy's dad was a counterrevolutionary, except because of the game's timeframe they have to also establish he was a "counterrevolutionary" in 1941

      His father was a white soldier; did white-aligned counter revolutionaries even exist in 1941?? Otherwise, there's nothing to suggest he collabed with Nazis. Think the writers fucked up on that one

        I don't think they intended him to be a collaborator, but it's funny how they got so brainwormed they accidentally implied it

      That was it, thank you-- it'd been years since I last paid attention to the comics, so I couldn't quite remember how that all shook out

      In hindsight that might be the same flavor bit as Soldier thinking he's fighting in World War 2 the more I mull it over

        That's what I wonder. At the same time, you can never really discount brainworms. Soldier also thinks all of his team are American despite the obviously french, german and russian members lmfao.

            Demoman my beloved main. For some reason I thought they still hated eachother; must have gotten them mixed up
