thats because on PdH german troops are second-line  and ost-truppen.
o maps like phl, you fight elite paratroopers that have of course more health and you need 2 shots.

Do different troops realy have different amounts of health?

FH2 wouldn't pull a Medal of Honor Airborne, unless it included a big flak tower, which I would love to assault.

I don't care whether it is G43 or Garand, although Garand feels a little heavier and seems therefore a little more accurate. I usually have 1s1k with Garand too, especially on PdH.

Ah, so when we get to do the Eastfront, the Ruskies will have an easy time on all maps?

I don't know, but on PdH I can spot Gerries more easily than on PHL. I guess it is the flatbush.

that's because in PHL the Germans shoot from about 100m further away.

Bolt actions are cooler, but I hit more stuff with semi-automatics, and also when i get some rage i can fire a semi in the air angriliy more effectivly.

so semi-cartermatics for me

always a semi-automatic like Garand, simple, you just have much more flexibility, plus it got the awesome bayonet and rifle grenades. Bayonets are always nice if you somehow find yourself out of ammo.

but for the German G43 there are no bayonets/rifle grenades which is really... bad. When you used up your ammo/grenades you're pretty much screwed. I'll pick a K98 and charge with my bayonet.

I like to run out of ammo. Then an adventurous quest starts to sneak around finding the best weapon to loot  :)

I voted Bolt action,

its much more fun if you fire a bullet with "someones name on it". 1 shot, 1 kill.

another question aside: we were discussing the over abundance of g43s in this game - what is with the nade launcher on bolt action rifles? it seems half the army has the thing right now :P

You talking about the Germans? Intresting... Were nade launchers assigned to every Rifleman?

I was going to make a topic about that. They seem far too common.

But in FH2 everyone has it because of awesomeness  ;)


I hope we see a fan map in wich everyone only has rifle grenades

Also cuz IRL, the rifle nade guy would carry many rifle nades of various type, whereas in FH2, you only carry 2 of one single type (for german anyways) :P
