Starting with the pros:

This isn't a game where only the guys getting kills are useful.
Playing as an engineer and building defenses can win the match. Playing as support and dropping supplies for your officer is critical. Even just driving a transport truck to the front line makes a huge difference. You feel important even when you're not shooting.
This game makes you feel like a small cog in a giant war machine.

You will die a lot. But the fact that a single bullet can drop you makes every decision matter.
It works both ways, when you're the one who lands that perfect long-range shot or clears a room with your squad, it feels incredibly satisfying.

The cons:
The game does a terrible job of teaching you how to play.
There is no tutorial, so the first hours you probably will be mostly useless, relying on squad mates to teach you, but usually everyone expects you to learn on the fly, or be an expert already.

Like all team based games, your experience can be ruined by a silent squad with an officer who doesn't talk or place spawns.
But when you land in a good squad, the game is incredible.

You'll occasionally get stuck on scenery, have issues vaulting over a wall, or see a tank do something weird(not the best physics). The game has improved a ton, but it's not perfectly polished, and you'll run into some frustrating quirks now and then.


TLDR
If you're tired of the hyper fast, run-and-gun chaos of other shooters, this game is for you.
The game has its rough edges, and it asks you to be patient and communicative,but if you are, it delivers an unmatched WWII experience.
