I'll try it this weekend again, hopefully I'll have better luck with servers when people have off from work.
I very much enjoy the hardcore milsim shooters, too. I used played a ton of Hell Let Loose, and even though it's a bit more casual Rising Storm 2 Vietnam was always mega fun.
Also, don't worry, you haven't oversold the game or anything. Your posts have been extremely helpful, and really hyping me to see if I can get this game to work for me!
