I'd have to say the best WWII game is Day of Defeat.
Its by far the most realistic, and pays far more attention to authenticity and realism then any of these other games.
DoD has almost every major WWII weapon, with better skins then BF1942 and MOHAA. And the gameplay is so much better. You actually have to watch your back, stay low and be smart. You would never think of running out in the open strafing back and forth spraying your Thompson.
MOHAA is the best WWII game graphically.
I must say the vehicles and large maps in BF1942 are great. But the infantry combat = barf. Just TRY to hit a moving enemy with the rifle. I've sat prone in one place for a long time wasting countless bullets on enemies running by, and still havent hit one. Even if someone is standing still, it doesnt always take them out in one shot. The rifles in DOD are so fun to use, you can actually hit people. And they usually go down in one hit like they should. It should also NOT take a full clip with the Thompson to kill one guy. I should be able to take out 4-5 guys with one clip (DOD).
I like BF1942...but it just doesnt give the WWII feel DOD does. Its just like mohaa, everyone runs around in the open spraying their assault weapons at each other, complete Deathmatch. Not war-like at all. DOD you actually have to secure an area, and clear out all the enemies before advancing. BF1942 you could just run by a bunch of guys and they probably wouldnt even hit you.
I guess this is just my opinion, but DOD is far more realistic, therefor its more fun. But vehicles definately = win.
