Hi,

maybe a silly question - I've been playing FH2 for a while now but never got around asking what the difference is between the tank rounds. There's often four types of rounds; the top AT one, a second AT one, the HEAT round and finally smoke.

But  what does the second one do - assuming the first AT round is your standard AT one, and it always looks like you've got plenty of those as opposed to the second AT round.

Thanks.

I addressed this in another topic but it was shared with another question and thus didn't receive full attention. What about the grenade sound when it hits the floor? Like in Medal of Honor and Call of Duty you have very distinct sounds and you'll know when someone's tossing a grenade in the room. For some reason, it just really adds that little extra intensity to the battle. You'll get those 'oh sh*t!' situations rather than 'why did I die?' and then have to press the tilde key to see what killed me. But most of all, it shouldn't be that hard to implement this right? If not, please tell if such a sound exists and I'll add one myself as a personal mod! :-)

Thank you!

Now we all love the faust as much as we hate it. But I hate it a little more in FH2. It's effectiveness disappoints me and I wonder if the penetration is realistic. Many times I hit a Sherman in the side with the Panzerfaust but it would damage it only up to 90%, or around the point the tank starts burning. Either with, with BF2's crappy damage system, the tank is still fully capable of doing everything even if it'd be destroyed until 95%. This is terribly wrong. So you lost your only faust, are open on the field, still stunned that it didn't kill the tank, and the driver just rolls his turret around and shoots you in the face. I used to think the faust was like.. almost invincible against light-medium armour! And my targets weren't moving.

Also.. can someone please explain to me which of the three holes I need to use to aim with. What do they represent and how can I estimate the distance anyway? With its incredibly short range you want to be really sure you hit it.

Am I the only one who finds the explosion graphics very arcade? Whenever a tank is hit and destroyed it explodes violently with three flaming strokes in the air, it looks great but this isn't always reality. It would be nice if tanks would just take a hit and be disabled without it turning into a complete black wreckage as if it burned out from every possible angle. And on top of that, it explodes in 6 large pieces in a terrible arcadish vanilla style. All the effects look magnificent except for vehicle explosions. Instead, it would be very nice if the tank would have a random wreckage and partly burned, very often the tank doesn't explode violently and just sits there as the crew was killed but the outer part of the tank was remained intact. Or if it was moving it remained stuck in its gear and keep rolling for a few more metres. Now that would be realistic AND awesome!

Now just hoping someone will look into it and see what's possible.. thank you!

I can't help but noticing most German tanks have muzzle brakes and allied tanks almost never do. Barrels without them look incomplete and bald to me. But aside that the muzzle brake is supposed to fight recoil and barrel heightening, it seems like it's a very cheap and easy thing to produce, but why are they not present on most allied tanks? Is it because most of their guns were shorter barreled and didn't need any?

Hi guys,

I'm getting more and more frustrated with the unprofessionalism of squad leaders on public servers. I'd like to saddle up with some guys who play to win. I'm so fed up with the dumbest squad leaders not taking responsibility. In my opinion, he should not as much lead the boys into battle, but moreover stay alive so the boys can attack. That one spawn near the enemy flag means the difference between victory and defeat.

Also, it would be nice if we could outfit ourselves with different kits, an ATer, a rifleman, sub, etc.

I would really enjoy playing with such a clan on public and I'm especially interested in clans that have lots of players so I can always meet up with some guys and hopefully a full squad and those delicious late night hours throughout the week.

Thank you!

I constantly hear deaths sounds all over the map even when the closes enemies/friendlies are like 50 metres away. I hear a more distant sound then but this isn't exactly realistic, as it still sounds as if it was happening a few metres away instead. Is this supposed to be this way? Because it seems silly and out of place.

Thanks!

Negatives about the sound:

- You instantly betray your position and presence to the enemy

Positives about the sound:

- It's realistic


In my opinion, if you throw a grenade no one's gonna wait for it anyway or check where you've thrown it in the first place. Why not improve our anticipation skills instead and be more cautious. Nothing is more akward than giving away the position of a whole squad in an attempt to 'sneak' up on the enemy. Might as well add a bright pink flag to our inventory which we can use to wave at the enemy since we're giving ourselves away anyway it might as well be amusing.

I'm sure you've all played Medal of Honor and Call of Duty and both of these games have a distinct sound when a grenade is thrown and falls on the ground. You can really hear the impact and I always felt that it made a grenade more.. valuable as you could hear its actual weight, and the material it fell on, specifically in MoH these sounds were detailed.

But most importantly, this will give you a heads up when a grenade is being tossed into your bunker as you would hear the sound of it bouncing around. If only for the sound itself it wouldn't even have to buy me time to get out..! Maybe there is already a sound like this but I've never heard or its very soft?

Lastly, c'mon guys I'm sure you're all incredibly annoyed and perhaps frustrated with the screaming that goes hand in hand when throwing a grenade. Nothing is more akward than trying to ambush an approaching enemy, but you've given away your position the second you pull out the pin, and see him dodge your grenade and shoot you in the face while you still have to swap and aim your weapon. Please remove it, it's got no use!

I understand it's meant to warn your buddies but either make it so that the scream only happens when you're in a few metres radius with friendlies or not at all. Let's be honest. If you can't anticipate then that warning scream won't prevent your buddies from being TK'ed anyway, so it's better that we learn to aim and anticipate movements. Please remove the sound!

Thank you.
