Why...
« on: 23-09-2009, 16:09:06 »
... are there Beretta Model 38a kits on Normandy maps for German ? To represent the captured stuffs after the 1943 Italian army surrender or are there other reasons ?

And how is this a suggestion? (Edit: Relocated to a proper forum it seems.)

The Berettas are on Purple Heart Lane because the German paratroopers stationed there took some of these weapons with them from Italy.

I bet someone will post one of those photographs that shows German soldier with a Beretta in Normandy.

We thought it would be a fun little surprise for those who wanted to see Berettas for FJ's. So we asked Natty if he could put them in and he did.

I like to think they are there because they annoy Schneider.

if there wouldnt be berettas on that map we would have a thread asking "WHY ARE THERE NO BERETTAS ON PHL, the Fallschirmjäger used them there. Here are some pictures of them"

not matter what you do, it is always "wrong"

I'll admit, I tend to twich a bit when I hear one of those on full auto when playing PHL as American. Kind of a reflex, I think, from being raped so many times in North Africa.

I like it, stuff like that makes FH2 special. Also, new players will see them, ask about it on the forums and we can can set them straight knowitall-style.

edit: Although it would be even better if the guns would be renamed to MP738(i).

Hey calm down you want ? I was asking that BECAUSE i was sure there was an historical reason to it !!! I learned one things tonight, FJ had Beretta in Normandy and that's really cool to learn that for a fan of WWII like my. You maybe see the Evil everywhere so stop to post on this forum if you know everythings about FH2 because you are a betatester... Share your knowledges instead of showing off like "i know everything and all none betatester are noobs"...

I love FH2 for these kinds of details too, and i'm sure u will scare some new players with these kidns of anwser...

Thx for all others anwsers, now i will be glad to use the Beretta in PHL !!!

How does one know that the German FJ corps used Italian rifles in Normandy?  Just from pictures?  Unit histories?  The level of knowledge here is mind numbing.  I'm in awe.
