Weapons I hope to see soon!
« on: 29-07-2009, 08:07:06 »
I was looking at all the weapons for Fh2 (I had just deleted Fh1 because I couldn't run it on windows no matter what I tried) and I noticed that I didn't see a few weapons that I know were in WW2 at some point!

The Weapons would be the:

1. Vz. 24 Rifle, used by Germans, this was produced in 1 factory during ww2 I believe and was made specifically for German Occupiers.

Stats of the weapon:
Made in: 1924 by Czechoslovakia
Clip: 5 Rounds
Mode of Firing: Bolt-action
Ammunition: 7.92x57mm

******

2. M50 Reising Machine gun, this was given to the USMC in the pacific theater because the m1 carbine had not been issued yet.The gun would see use in Guadalcanal. The M50 was used in place of the Thompson sub machine gun because it was much lighter.

Stats of the Weapon:
Made in: 1940 Manufatured by Harrington & Richardson. The designer was Eugene Reising who also patented it.
Clip:12 or 20 round box clips, sort of like the Thompson.
Mode of Firing:Full-Auto
Ammunition: .45 Acp (Thompson used the same) and .22 LR (In the M65 variant)

This would have been better off in the suggestion forum. And just because these weapons were in WWII does not mean the devs will be able to put them into the mod. I'm not sure about the first weapon but the second one you probably won't see for a while. FH2 is concentrating on the Normandy front right now, and there is question as to which front is next.

The Vz22 and 24 type rifles were commonly used by 2nd line german units, as well as some frontline early on in the war, and extremely late in the war (1945).  So if there is ever such a map, it would be a possible weapon, but its limited useage means that if it is ever made, it won't be for a long time.

The Reising was indeed used, and despised, by the USMC, and if FH2 ever gets to the pacific theater, I think there's a good chance we might see it for early war maps.

oops! I am new though, so I havn't seen the suggestion forum yet. I have seen many people asking for a french front next.

I would kinda like that aswel. Lots of French tanks to play with, because they where, next to the 2 man-turret, pretty good tanks for its time

*moved*  from General Discussion to Suggestions forum.

As the others said: The FH2  developer team makes equipement (vehicles, weapons, static objects etc.) for the theatre of war they are working on, or for specific map(s) within that theatre. Currently that is Normandy (Operation Overlord, 1944). For the first release it was the North Africa campaign.

What the next theatre will  be after Normandy is yet unknown. It's adviced to make suggestions for the theatre the devs are currently working on (and perhaps suggestions for already released theatres if the suggestion doesn't require many many hours of work).

An other general tip when making suggestions: Too obvious/general suggestions are most of the time not very useful ("Please put Sherman tank in", "please put in Tiger 2 tank") as the devs are aware of these vehicles/items and won't forget about them (but only add them when they need it). On the other hand, very rare  (or never even used in combat or build) items (for example: German "Maus" and "Ratte" tanks) are probably not useful either, suggesting a weapon of which only 20 were made is much less useful then suggesting a weapon that was used by many troops. But aslong as you don't suggest either extreme (most obvious or most rare) you should be fine. ;)

I hope this helps,

Donutz,
FH betatester and forum staff

The Vz24 could be added for ammo kits, after all you added the P14 rifle for that.

Sry for doubleposting but I wanted to bump this
Wouldn't it be possible to port the polish Wz29 rifle from FH1? That thing looks pretty similar to the Vz24.

The polish rifle:


Vz24/G24(t):


and in FH1:

Funny how it has a straight bolt AND a groove for a bent bolt.

Yeah that's kinda weird. It's also the only major difference.

It also has a slightly different hand grip and an extra grip screw. Many of these smaller things might be factory differences though, so it's pretty much the same weapon. Atleast visually.

i don't think we need Vz24 for the german ammo kit.

One of the reason why we use the p17 for the ammo is because we don't have enough mapper to do a free french map.(and i really don't know if it will happened one day)
Consequently, because the rifle add some kind of new gamelay (bolt rifle for the us army) and was used by us ammo suppliers, we add it to the ammo kit.
