I think a tankie class would perform well in a real army. Why has no one thought of this yet?
Which is funny, I'm pretty sure the comics positioned Heavy against the Soviets (which makes no sense given Heavy's background). The one criticism I have of TF2 as a setting; I'm convinced a writer just had anti-commie brainworms
He canonically has a PHD in Russian literature so I feel like he’d be a Kropotkin fan or smth
You're pretty much right. His dad was a white soldier but apparently nearly all of his cosmetics in the game are based around Soviet or overall Russian culture. Weirdly enough, most of those cosmetics don't say anything bad about the USSR and actually have some pretty cheeky jokes; going so far as to let you dress up as Stalin with a machine-gun.
Showin the same issue as well here we have them poking fun at America; makes me actually wonder the political alignment of the writers/Valve in general. Rich dem-socs?
lmao i forgot how funny the TF2 comics were

they're based in what's basically seattle so probably, yeah
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
It's supposed to be set in 60s-ish setting under the pretense of mercenaries fighting each other for cold war reasons. It's not all that surprising.
all i'm saying is that ukraine might have been marching on moscow over a year ago now if they just recruited
The only threat that holds is that he’s teaching some young upstart how to do things his way
uhhh....
how many energy drinks did kiryu pack? did he learn the tiger drop or did he forget it because it's been a year again?
He would find out how both countries treat trans people and beat the shit out of everyone
I'm actually more of a kritz kind of medic; always felt like it charged up faster-- that might also be vintage bias tho
It costs $400,000... to fire dis weapon.. for 12 seconds.
That's far too cheap of equipment for modern US military.
Why doesnt Hamas just do some reaver drops on israels mineral lines? Transition into carriers while they are building back up and its GG as long as we can keep their goliath counts low
The problem is that weapon damage stats have been buffed to the point where it's game-breaking. Your only hope is pumping up armor class as high as possible and praying that your opponent doesn't roll a 20 or have a really high attack bonus.
