Being an ex soldier, I say that this game is more realistic, than operation flashpoint. #1- in df2 you don't have to shoot like hell in order to kill the enemy,#2 in df2 you are not going to charge in to the enemy like a fool, unless you are ready to commit suicide, you can use air strikes on a tank. I do believe it would be suicide to move in on a tank with satchel charges, if that tank is fully operational. I believe a tank can be laser targeted. So all in all think about it. Operation flashpoint is a good game, but some rough edges need to be smoothen out. Real soldiers would not commit themselves to such danger, and would not be asked to do so.
