The map has undergone a major overhaul in 2.2. 

We have yet to playtest the new version, but if it plays as well as it looks........well, be prepared for one intense fight on both sides! 

Use any, and all means to defeat the enemy. that includes using AA guns in the anti-personnel role.
It is well documented that anti aircraft guns were used against soft targets on the ground by both the allied and the axis powers, so why shouldn't that be reflected in FH2?

Yes, that is what I want.  However, I want to know exactly how a flak38 shell impacted such soft targets like infantry, etc. 

I want it to be a much more direct hit rather than the massive splash that the current flak guns in FH2 have.  I highly doubt flak guns did so much splash damage as is represented ingame atm.  The damage needs to be scaled down and I think the black smoke effect is very ugly. 

It's just a regular M4A4. What you guys think is a barrel is actually a tree branch!

As for AA guns, well, we need maps with planes before we need AA guns...

I think the AA guns need to be redone, damage-wise.  I can't find any detailed information or footage of what a flak38 shell impact looks like, but I have only seen it represented as it is in that one scene from 'Saving Private Ryan' and in other contemporary media. I liked how the damage and projectile was in FH1, which is like in that scene.

The shells have very little, if any, splash damage and they only produce a small displacement of dust/dirt instead of a heavy, black 'ack ack' cloud. 

The damage area and splash area of the flak guns in FH2 should be drastically reduced and the shell effect (the thick, black 'ack ack' cloud) needs to be replaced with some other effect like that which is produced by the pzii AP shell.  I want to use my precious flak guns on 'soft targets' without them being massive rape machines which are just point and click and that need to be restricted in their field of view/fire!

This vehicle seems pretty much unfinished, I'm actually confused how more people (especially betatesters) haven't noticed those issues and reported them.

I agree.  As to us betatesters not noticing such things: the sahariana was added late into the development of 2.15 and is not featured on many maps.  It seems many of these issues do not appear in local servers, which is  the main option available to individual testers like me when looking for bugs. 

Basically, the sahariana was functioning well enough to allow it to be added to the 2.15 patch.  These issues will be looked into.

Giant Rock > Giant Scissors

Comfirmed, added as bug 996 in the DB.

I also noticed that the gun (located just outside the German main base / town) is placed to high and you hae to jump in order to enter.

Is that the static mg15?  If it is, I have a screenshot of it.  I did not get around to reporting it yet because I am unable to add attachments to tickets on the bug tracker.   

Confirmed, though I don't know if the devs can do much about it (the not being able to exit). Added as #997 to bug DB.

This also affects such things as static and deployable mortars.  It seems the exit/entrance point becomes blocked in some way preventing you from either exiting or entering the mortar/gun.

Why whine? 

I am still going to buy BF1943 and I think it looks quite enjoyable! 

But in the interviews regarding the game, the developers keep saying that it is a small project that they decided to make after initially fooling around with the FrostBite engine.  They even said themselves that they do not have any plans on adding further content to the game.  Of course, they said if it is a success then they will probably add more maps and some other things, but I doubt on the scale that you described.

When I labeled it as not the next "real" battlefield, I meant in longevity and scope (community/mods/player numbers supported).  BF1942 lasted quite a while and had many mods and now BF2 has taken its place, of course with much less success in the mod sector in relation to BF1942 in its prime.

BF: Vietnam, BF2142, etc are all expansions of the "real" battlefield games...or maybe "core" or "central" is a better word than "real."  They are their own unique and separate/full games, but they do not have/ have not had the same  longevity and scope compared to BF1942 and BF2.
