Off-Topic / BF 1942 mix Mod News/ FHSW/FHR/BG42/EoD
« on: 30-05-2012, 14:05:10 »


SU-85
A soviet self-propelled gun. Production started in 1943, and the first vehicles reached their units by August. SU-85 was a modification of the earlier SU-122 self-propelled howitzer, essentially replacing the 122 mm M-30S howitzer of the SU-122 with a D-5T high-velocity 85 mm antitank gun.
It can be found in Stashuv Area:



and Vuoksi:



BF 109 G-2
The G-2, which started production in May 1942, lacked the cabin pressurization and GM-1 installation. New  But it closely resembled the Bf 109 F-4 and carried the same basic armament. The newly fitted Daimler-Benz DB 605A engine was a development of the DB 601E engine utilised by the preceding Bf 109F-4; displacement and compression ratio were increased as well as other detail improvement. It can be found in Bocage, Bombing The Reich-1943, Kasserine Pass-1943 and Prokhorovka-1943 maps.



Eierhandgranate M39
Introduced in 1939 and produced until the end of World War II. There were two variants: 4 seconds delay and 7.5. The colour of the cap indicated the burning time of the type of fuse fitted. Blue meant 4 sec., yellow - 7.5 sec. It was decided to make a random grenade selection system for each German class. So, with the new respawn you have a new type of grenade. It can be EiHgr.39 with 4 (blue cap) or 7.5 seconds delay (yellow cap) and Stielhandgranate 24. Eierhandgranate M39 and Nebelhandgranate 39 were taken from FH Fan Mappack #6.



Featured map - Bocage
- New sky
- Highly increased view distance, visibility distance for BF 109, P-47 and some other objects
- New trees; improved trees rendering



Textures
Some new textures has been added: BF 109 E, F-4, flags, etc.



Various fixes
Maybe even the main place in new version was reserved for different fixes and improvements. Here are some:
- Decreased camera shaking (recoil) for light and medium tank guns
- Fixed SU-122 texture, wreck; changed projectile force
- Fixed bug with smoke and fire at tank spawn
and many other.

AI
- Added AI to Omaha Charlie Sector
- Fixed T19HMC errors which caused Desert Rose-1942 and some other maps crash; M3A1 Stuart errors; etc.

For more detail information about changes please read Readme in mod archive.
New updates soon!

Das Battlegoup42-Team meldet sich zurück mit einer stabil laufenden Webseite und einem ebensolchen Gameserver: Nach all den Problemen und dem Gefummel hat sich schließlich herausgestellt, dass eine defekte Hardware die Ursache für die Störungen und Abstürze war. Wir möchten uns an dieser Stelle bei allen bedanken, die uns mit Rat und Tat zur Seite gestanden haben, und hier ganz besonders Grabbi vom PFC-Team. Nun aber wird es wieder Zeit für eine News über neue Inhalte der finalen Battlegroup42-Version 1.8, und darum wollen wir euch hier drei neue Modelle vorstellen.




Genaugenommen sind es keine ganz neuen Modelle: Alle drei sind den Battlegroup42-Spielern seit langem bekannt. Aber wir haben die Gelegenheit genutzt, sie durch neue, bessere Modelle zu ersetzen und unsere Mod damit aufzuwerten.

Besonders nötig hatte diese Verbesserung ein wichtiges Element der Japanischen Marineluftwaffe: Unser bisheriges Modell des Trägerangriffsbombers Nakajima B5N "Kate" war alt und recht grob, selbst nach BF1942-Vanilla-Standards. Unser Modeller RuppDee hat hier nun Abhilfe geschaffen und ein fantastisches neues Modell der "Kate" vorgelegt. Es verfügt über zwei ebenfalls von RuppDee erstellte Skinvarianten jeweils für die frühe Phase des Pazifikkrieges und für die späte Phase. Die Nakajima B5N war zu Beginn des 2. Weltkrieges der modernste Trägerbomber der Welt. Als Torpedoflugzeug und Horizontalbomber spielte sie eine wichtige Rolle bei allen bedeutenden Schlachten des Pazifikkrieges, von Pearl Harbour im Jahr 1941 bis zum Kampf um die Philippinen im Herbst 1944. Zu dieser Zeit war sie auf den großen Trägern bereits weitgehend durch ihre Nachfolgerin B6N "Tenzan" ersetzt worden. Einige Maschinen wurden noch 1945 von kleineren Geleitträgern oder Landbasen aus eingesetzt. Neben ihrer MG-Bewaffnung konnte die "Kate" einen 800-Kilo-Torpedo oder 800 Kilo Bombenlast tragen.

Nakajima B5N "Kate"



Das zweite neue Modell ist ebenfalls ein Bomber und ersetzt ein bereits vorhandenes Flugzeug: Gemeint ist die Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka". Über diesen legendären deutschen Sturzkampfbomber und Schlachtflieger müssen wir hier sicher keine weiteren Erläuterungen schreiben. Bislang flog in Battlegroup42 noch das Modell aus dem BF1942-Originalspiel. Im Fundus der aufgegebenen BGF-Mod fanden wir kürzlich ein deutlich besseres, sehr schön detailliertes Modell einer Ausführung B welche von petemonster erstellt wurde, mit dem wir die alte Mühle in Rente schicken konnten. Sarge Surfat lieferte noch je eine Skinvariante für die italienische und die ungarische Luftwaffe dazu, Sarge31FR steuerte einen Wüstenskin für die deutsche Luftwaffe bei.


Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka"




Bei unserer dritten Modellvorstellung handelt es sich um eine stationäre Waffe, die von fast allen am 2. Weltkrieg beteiligten Nationen in Lizenz gebaut und vorwiegend zur Luftabwehr eingesetzt wurde: die 2cm Maschinenkanone vom Typ Oerlikon. Auch sie war bereits in BG42 vorhanden, beispielsweise als Schiffsflak, wird nun aber durch ein detaillierteres Modell von RuppDee ersetzt. Es gibt sie außerdem in einer Zwillingsausführung.

20mm Oerlikon Maschinenkanone



Soweit unsere Neuvorstellungen für heute. Weitere neue Inhalte für unsere große Finalversion sind in Arbeit, also bleibt am Ball und schaut regelmäßig auf unserer neuen Webseite vorbei.

Here's another new map for the coming build v2.50.
It's called 'No Where To Run' and has some ideas from the community in it.
More detailed pictures in our missions section!

It's the first map where bots use the ropebridges really good.

Churchill Kangaroo



The Kangaroo was an APC variant of the Churchill tank. For this purpose the turret was dropped and the opening closed. The Kangaroo concept proved to be very successful and was first used by the Canadians who used obsolete M7 Priest‘s. It was then quickly adopted by the Brits.

Inside of the Churchill Kangaroo is room for a driver, a machine gun operator and four soldiers. The armor protection and climb ability is clearly superior to the regular M3 half-track, the overall speed is significantly lower though. There are also variants that have the additional armor which was introduced in a previous news. That makes the Churchill Kangaroo even more durable and gives you the opportunity to transport infantry savely even through heavy enemy fire.




Churchill ARV

Although looking very similar to the Kangaroo the Churchill ARV has a completely different task. It’s a recovery tank and has therefore the same ability as the already available Bergetiger. That means you can repair friendly vehicles if you’re close to them. Because of the good protection and low silhouette it’s possible to repair them even during battles and tip the balance in your favor!




ISU-T/ISU APC

The ISU-T was a russian recovery vehicle based on the ISU-122. It also comes without the main armament and has the same repair ability as the Churchill ARV but is a bit faster and can so keep up with other tanks easier. The 12.7 mm DShK machine gun on top has more power and is also more flexible than the Churchill’s Besa but the operator isn’t safe from infantry weapons.


Another new vehicle is the APC variant of the ISU-T. It looks very similar and offers seats for four people inside.




Chi-Ha APC

Another derived APC, this time based on the Chi-Ha. It doesn’t really offer the same protection as the Churchill or ISU and is only armed with a Type 97 7.7 mm bow machine gun.



All the APC’s can also appear as a mobile spawnpoint on the map, either permanent or temporarily via mouse click from the driver. In addition he has the chance to drop a machine gun kit from the back of the tank.

For the recovery tanks there’s a new vehicle icon on the mini-map to help you finding them in the heat of a battle.

lol buschhans, I see you've found yet another forum where you can dump your copy/paste news. :P

btw. this particular news was posted about two months ago on this forum, just saying.

80mm aa guns? never heard of that calibre, where they effective?
I think the real caliber was 76.2 mm but the offical designation was 80 mm for a reason I don't know. Seems like they were only used on the Agano class. Considered to be a satisfactory weapon with no serious problems. However, it did have a short barrel life.

http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNJAP_3-60_t98.htm

Nur weil du es nicht spielst brauchst du meinen post nicht durch den reck zu ziehen?
Da sind noch aktive Modder die sich bemühen etwas kostenlos auf die Beine zu stellen.
Mache mir sehr gern für diese klugen Köpfe die mühe ihre News weiterzutragen.
Das hat nichts mit Copy und Pst zu tun, viel mehr mit andere mit zu begeistern.
Du hast recht die News gabs schon vor ein paar Wochen auf der JPN FHSW wmbuse.com webseite!
Aber es hat keiner die Bilder klein gemacht und die News zu gestückelt das man sie verteilen kann.
Übrigens, die neue FHSW erntet viel Zuspruch, die Leute interessieren sich dafür, also tu ich das richtige!
Denn ich tu es nicht für mich, sondern für uns! Und für die Menschen die sich die Arbeit für uns machen!

Battlegroup42 Kurzfilm: Die Schlacht um Ortona

Das Battlegroup42 Team grüßt die Community und meldet sich mit einer besonderen News. Diesmal geht es nicht um Neuigkeiten in der Mod selbst: Die Jungs vom ungarischen FPS-Klub, seit Jahren treue Battlegroup42-Fans, haben ein durchaus episch zu nennendes Video gedreht, in dem sie die Schlacht um Ortona auf der entsprechenden BG-Map nachspielen. Wir wollen euch das auf keinen Fall vorenthalten. Viel Spaß beim Zuschauen. Übrigens: Gerne posten wir auch eure BG42-Videos, wenn sie gut gemacht sind!

Yahagi


Yahagi was the second of the four vessels completed in the Agano-class of light cruisers, and like other vessels of her class, she was intended for use as the flagship of a destroyer flotilla. Larger than previous light cruisers, the Agano-class vessels were fast, but with little protection, and were under-gunned for their size:

6 x 15 cm/50 Type 41 guns (3x2)


4 x 80 mm/65 Type 98 guns (2x2)


varying amount of 25 mm/60 Type 96 AA guns


8 x 610 mm torpedo tubes (4x2)


The Yahagi underwent several upgrades where mainly the 25 mm anti-aircraft weaponry was increased. In FHSW 0.5 will be three versions of the Yahagi available: 1943, 1944 and 1945. The latter has an impressive amount of 25 mm guns as shown in the following pics.



The Yahagi took part in many battles and was lucky because she often fought her way through them without any damage.

On 6 April 1945 though the Yahagi was ordered to accompany Yamato from Tokushima for its final suicide mission against the American fleet. In this battle she was sunk by several torpedos and bombs and took 445 crewmen with her.


Ōyodo



The Ōyodo design was approved in 1939 as an enlarged and improved version of the Agano-class. It was designed to be the flagship for attack groups of submarines. Initially, plans were made for eight vessels in the class. However, only two ships were actually authorised, of which only one, Ōyodo, was laid down.

Although the same general hull design as for the Agano was adopted, the armour protection was reduced and the armament differed both in layout and weaponry:

6 × 155 mm/60 3rd Year Type guns (2x3)


8 × 100 mm/65 Type 98 AA guns (4x2)


18 × 25 mm/60 Type 96 AA guns


The Ōyodo-class ships were intended to be scouting cruisers and hence the entire deck of the ship aft of the superstructure was devoted to aircraft facilities including a heavy-duty 45 m catapult.


In 1944 this catapult was exchanged for the shorter (18 m) standard type and the hangar converted to accommodate Fleet Headquarters staff. During this refit several 25 mm AA guns were added. This variant is also included in FHSW 0.5!

"Als wir uns den Stränden nährten, all das an was ich mich erinnern konnte war eine bestimmte Zeile in der Rede General Eisenhower, bevor wir England verließen:
"Die freien Männer der Welt  maschieren zum Sieg!"
Ich fühlte mich beruhigt, als wir in die L.C.I. verlegten, obwohl ich nicht denken konnte wegen Hunderter von Explosionen um mich herum.
Ich kann die Schrecken nicht beschreiben, die ich sah, als wir anhielten.
Die Luke öffnet und plötzlich sterben die ersten 7 Mann um mich herum.
Ich lief nach vorne, und als ich mich dem Strand näherte,  sah ich ein paar Meter entfernt meine eigenen Freunde deren Arme und Köpfe aus geschossen wurden, ich sehe nur Kugeln fliegen...
Wußte auch nicht mehr, wo zum Teufel wir sind, wo ist meine Kompanie?
All das an was ich mich erinnern kann ist, dass der Krieg begonnen hat...

Welcome to the latest Battlegroup42 news.
First of all, we want to thank you for the positive resonance to version 1.8 Beta. Our special thanks go out to our testers, who already helped us tracking down and fixing several bugs.
Although the current build is running quite stable already, we're asking you to please continue posting bugs and problems in the forum. Since the next release of Battlegroup42 will be the last for the Battlefield 1942 engine, we want to release the best version ever.



We've mentioned the forum already. As most of you know, we had severe problems while updating the website and forum software, resulting in a database crash. We were forced to set up a completely new database, website and forum. But this also gave us some advantages, since we were able to integrate new/re-worked content. There's a Teamspeak 3 server available now, and a gallery has been created showing objects inside the mod. The "vehicle handbook", with lots of background info on the vehicles used in Battlegroup42, is currently being rebuild, although only in German at this time. There'll be further additions in the future.

But we were not only busy hunting down bugs, but were also working on several new models. We'll present you two of them today:

Somua S-35

The first one is the Somua S-35, a medium tank of the French Army whose production started in 1936. Armed with a 47mm cannon and one coaxial machine gun, well armored and mobile, it proved to be a serious threat to the German troops during the Battle of France. But its qualities couldn't be played out in full capacity, since the French didn't concentrate their tanks on central spots like the Germans did. Some S-35s were used by the French in Africa too and the Wehrmacht used captured S-35s in occupied areas and Russia.



The unfinished model was once done for BGF by Cavesloth, and laid dormant on our FTP server until our member RuppDee took it into custody. He reworked the model, added several details and created several textures for it. It was brought ingame by our coder Sarge31FR.

A34 Comet I

From the Blitzkrieg of 1940 we're now advancing into the year 1944. In this year our second model arrived at the front: The A34 Comet. This British medium battle tank was developed as the successor of the Cromwell. It was better armored and armed than its predecessor, equipped with a 77mm cannon.
This cannon was a variant of the highly effective British 17pdr anti tank gun which was also used in the Sherman Firefly and the tank hunter Achilles. Since the Comet's series production started rather late, at the end of 1944 only a few units were equipped with the Comet. But the Comet's combat performance was excellent and it served with the British forces up into the 1950s.



This model also has a long story. It was created by Koricus, but got lost during a HD crash. Fortunately, Koricus recently found an old USB stick which contained some of his data (including other models, which we will show you in later news), so that we were able to provide the British with this nice tank.
Again, Sarge31FR was responsible for getting the model ingame.

In closing this news, we want to answer the mostly asked question at the moment, which is when the final version of BG42 will be released. The usual answer is "when it's done", but we can at least narrow it down to "in several months". There's still a lot to do, a lot of things to be finished. But the result will be worth the wait.

Almost immediately after the M4 Sherman was standardized, the US Ordnance Department started work on a successor. Three series of medium tanks were developed, the T20, T22, and T23 where the main difference laid in the chosen transmission.

The E3 variant with torsion bar suspension and 76 mm gun was developed to fight the poor weight distribution and excessive ground pressure the original T23 model had. A prototype was completed but further developement was cancelled.

The T23E3 is already placed on the map Operation Nordwind but it has been recoded and retextured for the release of FHSW 0.5.



T26E2

The T26E2 (also known as M45) was a variant of the M26 Pershing and designed as medium close support tank fitted with a 105 mm howitzer. The hull front was protected by 100 mm-thick steel armor, and the turret shield even by 200 mm-thick steel armor! The massive armor was necessary to compensate for the installation of the 105 mm howitzer M4, which was heavier and shorter than the M3 90 mm gun of the M26.

With the heavy armor and powerful howitzer you’ll be able to break even through strong enemy defences! You also have the chance to load HEAT shells for tank combat. Here you can take advantage of the armor and drive directly towards your enemy to get an accurate shot off with the low velocity howitzer.



T29

The Heavy Tank T29 was an American heavy tank project started in March 1944 to counter the new German tanks since the M26 Pershing wasn’t really a match for the new Tiger II. When the prototype was finished it weighed about 70 tons and was highly comparable to the German Tiger II in terms of both firepower and protection.

In 1945, with the war in Europe already over a small order proposed on the basis that their large guns and heavy armor would be useful for attacking Japanese bunkers. Army Ground Forces command, however, objected to the deployment of such heavy vehicles and the war ended before the issue was resolved.
The mantlet armor (up to 279 mm!) is so thick that the current limit of 250 mm in FHSW had to be increased, the new limit is now at 800 mm. Since the hull is "only" about 100 mm thick a good tactic is to use the environment to your advantage and cover these more vulnerable parts so that only the heavily armored turret is visible.

The T29 is armed with a very powerful 105 mm L/65 tank gun, coaxial twin M2 Brownings, one flexible M2 for AA purposes and a M1919A4 Browning in the bow.

Not very exciting.. but important..

I have uploaded a complete package of interstate with all available maps in download section.

At present it is not an installer. You just extract the zip file to your mods directory and you are done.

The file contains full 1.81 interstate (no need to patch it) and all the maps.

Testing needed is to get an idea of the speed of my host and also to load and play every map to check that they are not corrupt.

What would also be useful is for people to use the list below and make a note in this thread of any MAJOR bugs within the maps.

This time round I'm not looking to make any little changes to maps to tidy them.. just BIG showstoppers.

It will take time but will be great to finally get a full download available for people. I will post it in a seperate message box on the front page of the site.


The mod itself actually contains 12 maps including: (which are all included when downloading the mod)

*Deathrace (medium challenge style track/course)
*Deathrace 2 (medium challenge style track/course)
*Lakeside (easy challenge style track/course)
*Tsunami (medium challenge style track/course)
*Aurora Valley (battle style/conquest)
*Aurora Citylight (battle style/conquest)
* Canyonrun (battle style/conquest)
* Countryside (battle style/conquest)
* Highway (battle style/conquest)
*Streets (battle style/conquest)
*Streets Race (simple race)
*Survivor Arena (battle map with one life only)

A side from these maps there have been dozens upon dozens of custom maps made for this mod over the last 8 years. They're far to many to list here, but I'll do it anyways.
Once all the maps that need some touch up/fixing (shadows, view distance, wrench fix, proper flag for kingpin, etc), then roll out the red carpet.
