Underrated weapons in FH2
« on: 28-05-2012, 18:05:35 »
There probably aren't enough actual weapons in an mod or video game for more than a handful to be 'underrated' by most people, but there are a few weapons in FH2 that are ignored or catch some shit for being useless online that I think are brilliant.

First for me would probably be the Lewis machine gun. Ugly as hell but I swear it's the most accurate MG in the game to me. I was messing around with it on Tobruk in single player and killed 41 bots with 47 rounds, it's so easy to aim and almost always 1-shot kills in my experience. Wish it looked cooler, but you can't have everything.

For vehicles I think the little Vickers is pretty underrated. I find it used poorly online a lot but it's great for pinning enemies down as much as it's great for zipping along in front of tanks and creating smoke screens for your team, and on maps like Olympus it's even useful to hide in the bushes and then throw a ton of smoke on enemy tanks to blind them. It's small enough you can use it to close down alleys and roads and zoom away quickly if things get too hot. Plus I like firing both MGs at once, as it makes me think of Christmas :D.

Any weapons you like using that most people don't?

Not particularly fond of it myself but I guess the Sahariana fits this profile. It's there on a couple of maps, and it looks hella cool, but I hardly ever see it used and even then it's just a glorified APC basically.

FH2 is the game, DarklyDreamingDexter is the name.

I have never even seen the Sahariana, I'd love to use it, looks badass.


I want to say the Breda MG, but that is truly worthless. it looks awesome though, and the animation is great.
I see were you are trying to reach: "how can a 17 year old kid have such a thinking like this? why doesnt he wants to be like normal teens who whana get rich? and his plan actually makes sense, but is too damn revolutionary and good at the same time than is still doubthfull if it works..." - Damaso

Huh? Breda is nice, good sights and literally no recoil. Could be awesome in pixel-sniping on some open maps.

Lewis underrated? Its just not that common, its used all the time on Hyacinth. I think its better than MG34, it has better sights, and a lot quicker reload time while only having 3 bullets in mag less.

IIRC, Lewis pickup kit can be found on Fall of Tobruk, near 6 pounder.

It is also a spawnable kit on Hyacinth.

Also, most underrated to me, probably armoured cars and halftracks.  If used carefully, they can be quite deadly...I remember one round of Operation Nordwind back in FH1, I went about 50 kills, 1 death, in a MG hanomag.  And the death with a TK halfway through the round....

I always get sniped out of my Sdkfz. 222 by infantry.
He got banned for our sins. He was not the member FH forums deserved, he was the member we needed.

There are two Lewis pick-up kits on Fall of Tobruk (or at least two I've found, anyway). You can find them at the green circles I drew on the map here - next to the 6-pounder at Mussolini Plaza, and next to the truck at Outskirts.

Probably MG pick-ups.

As for vehicles Semovente/Stuart/Recce/Deacon... Also Hetzer... that thing is too cute.

Bah drilling is overrated. It's not that good as everyone thinks... Sure you got some nice killing power but after 3 shots what do you do? Whip out you pitchfork and try to stab the rest of the squad that came your way?
