just my 2 cents
rifles (also semi auto) are just fine, i can handle all of them very well (execpt m1 carbine)
SMGs are fine too, i know poeple who will pop you on quite long ranges, while i am unable to hit the broadside of a barn with them from 50m away. i m simply lacking the experience with them.

as for LMGs, MG42/MG34 is fine, if you cant hit stuff you are doing it wrong.
small bursts the smaller the better, are the key. sure in panic situation you tend to keep firing until it overheats but in general if you make small burst (2-4 bullets) you will instantly kill anything in you field of view.

FG42 is a beast

cant say much about bren or BAR since i dont play them that much.


so in general, most weapons are just fine, it all comes out to your skill with them.  as Kev said, random deviation only occurs past the "effective" range.
kind of like with bazooka/schreck  up to a certain range they are accurate and after that they slowly start to deviate.
you can hit targets past that range but it becomes less likely. but in general it comes down to your handling of the guns recoil. knowing its drop on long range shots and how much to lead the target.

well it is the aufs. H but of course with different camo.

as for AT guns i think pak 40 and 57mm M1.

and as usual a nice bunch of picup-kits

someone where in the game options i think under sound is a checkbox that means something like:
"make everyone speak english"
in bf2 vanilla this makes the Iraqis and everyone else speak English instead of their mother language.
in FH2 using this options makes everyone shut up.

simply try unticking that check box and try again.
if you still cant hear anything come  back and we will try something else.

oops yeah right
damit

bt-5 tank armed with 2x130mm rockets.


and just because i can a nice pak 40 picture

fh2 swaps around some files when you load it (modified content) and if it crashes it wont swap it back.
so you might have to launch fh2, then close it properly and then start bf2 to get rid of this error.
however this is only needed if fh2 crashes.

of course we cant name details but 2.4 will have touched (enhanced/changed) pretty much every aspect in the game, maybe even someones willy . it wont just be a new front with some new maps & toys to play with.

and before the black helicopters show up i better duck 'n run

in case you have everything up to date
