After a great start with our German youtuber Schilli this week we are traveling to our Brazil with Canel do Neo ingame better known as Neoforce. He has been playing this game for quite some time and shows off his pistol skills in his latest video.

[h3]Twitch:[/h3]
Is your Portuguese as bad as mine? Than you may be more interested in our streamer of the week: Ditzu2174. Ditzu21, as his name is ingame, perhaps has not been playing for as long our previous streamer Fubared. But man has he made up for that by playing the game several days a week. With well over 2000 streaming hours he is a well known name in and out of the game.

Let's take a look at some clips! Whenever you spot a tank, make sure you take a good look at it! And don't be afraid, there are no mines to be found around here.

Big brain move

No mines...

[h3]Be courageous! Be brave![/h3]
This weeks featured image has been made by Steven and can be found here. We can see how two men are sitting on the back of a truck, as they drive through a battlefield. An earlier destroyed ISV (Infantry support vehicle) can still be seen burning in the background. Thank you for this amazing image!



[h3]In position![/h3]
The first image of this week comes from UrBanichka and can be found on steam. We can see a MG42 set up to protect O1 at all costs. Will he be able to hold on to the train station?



[h3]Charging through the fields[/h3]
Another image that could have easily be used as the artwork of this week, discord member Nukio_Sorioka treats us with an amazing shot of two SU-85's moving through the fields. Their cannons are aimed at the enemy and they are clearly ready for a fight!


[h3]A funny potato[/h3]
Of course we have more people that make funny compilations. And this week we found a nice video from General Potat. I don't think I have anything else than to say, go take a look at Funny Moments #15

[h3]What to do when you're out of medkits![/h3]

Streamer Tykjen was ready to heal himself, but it seems a friendly is wounded as well! How will he use his last first aid kit? Take a look at the video below and find out!

A city in ruins: Community Creations #1

[h3]Soldiers![/h3]
Today we are launching our very first Community content blog!

Every week we will scroll through youtube, our discord media page and our community hub on steam to find your best creations!

[h3]Content Creators of the week[/h3]
This year we have launched our brand new Content Creator Program. With this program we hope to show Heroes & Generals to the world with the help of our Creators. While at the same time help them to grow their channels and attract bigger audiances. Every week we start off the Community Creations blog by showing some of their footage.

Our first community creations requires a good start! who else should get that honor than our youtuber Schilli. Schilli is back with one of his amazing Funny random compilations!. Not number one, or number two, but number 22! Yes, that means he has already made 21 previous editions, so after watching this video, be sure to check out the other ones!

[previewyoutube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leVg6XFKpLA[/previewyoutube]
[h3]Twitch:[/h3]
A strong start requires a strong follow-up, so as the streamer of the week we have Fubared, ingame known as As1n. This streamer plays H&G almost on a daily basis and shares his gameplay on his twitch channel. Of course we have dug through his channel and found some fun highlights for you guys to take a look at!

Do a barrel roll!

Don't you just hate it when you see a wounded man and you want to heal him but he just runs away! Well it could be worse!
 
[h3]The Longest War!
[/h3]
As artwork and featured image, I have decided to go for a classic. Created all the way back in 2012 by community member K120. Back then I (Reto.Hades) was still a regular player myself and got to work on the H&G Newspapers. K120 made this great artwork for one of the first editions. Do you have any artwork you love to see featured in these blogs? Be sure to upload them to on stream or in our discord!


[h3]Just a bump![/h3]
Next up we have two mighty Tiger II tanks! One of them seems to be in conflict, as flames are all around it. Let's hope the other tank can be of assistance... Let's hope it doesn't come across any bumps in the road. Thank you for discord user Conserved for your contribution!


[h3]Forwards to the front![/h3]
Another cool screenshot came from steam user muqq. In this screenshot we can see muqq and his friends driving to the frontline. No matter the explosions in front of them, they will push through! One can only imagine the fear of those soldiers sitting inside their truck. The light that suddenly shows up in front of them, the sound shrapnel bouncing off of their vehicle, brave men indeed...


So many kills, so little time! What's better than to sit and watch someone butcher soldier after soldier! Well... this is turning into a rather gruesome description isn't it? Do you know what's also gruesome? The deaths of these soldiers!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h3]He's streaming it![/h3]
And we are watching it! We found a very nice clip from twitch user Nonvo. While unfortunetly we couldn't see the entire flight of the GAZ. Seeing it fly by on the screen was just great to see.

oh shiet
