French Hope

[Seth_Soldier]

Does french will have FM 24/29 ?

yes (and it's already done), FH2 dev team will provide all the equipement needed.
All "French Hope" need to do is to provide quality map up to FH2 standart so they can be integrated into the releases.

Tanks and static guns? Have we forgotten what it was like when FH2 started. At least this time there will be some cover.

French kits
Boys rifle
satchel kits? reuse the brit kit
expack kits?
landmine kit? probably reuse the brit landmine.

german kits
Panzerbuechse 39
Geballte Ladung
Geballte Ladung 3kg
Tellermine 35
expack kits?

Germans can use the Afrika kit setup (perhaps no smg for officer or something because the French have not many and the mP40 was not so common that early)

You´re sure about the MP40 part?
I read that each squad leader of infantry units had a SMG, mainly a MP40 or MP38 and added some extra firepower on medium ranges.

officiers in french army had more pistols in 1940 than Mas 38, which was given to chasseurs alpins for example

[Johannes]

The MAS 38 was the Waldo of French weaponry. Every time I find one in a photograph (which is not very often) I go "Woah! I've found a MAS 38!" Since only about 2,000 were made before the defeat, they were not issued in any regular fashion to any particular unit. In general, you could find them more commonly among corps francs, the ski scouts of the chasseurs alpins, officers, and the GRM.

German MP38s were much more common, although I'm not sure when the design changes for the MP40 designation had been implemented.

I don't think the British Mk. 5 mine was around in 1940.

In early war every infantry squad had 1 MP38 or MP40 for the squad leader, later another one was added for the assistant squad leader. And the MP40 was introduced in 1940, so it was not as abundant and the Mp38 would be available in bigger numbers (+ MP28s, MP34s, EMPs etc)

i see no problem with the current early war setup (africa) as an example

[Paasky]

Besides, MP38 is easy to make, which is which?



They had the same RoF and externally were almost identical.

[THeTA0123]

Next to the part above the magazine, i see no diffrence

[sn00x]

top is mp40? well from what i believe the difference is, is that mp40 looks like more stamped steel have been used
