+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As we played it on the server we found quite a lot of bugs but considering that they're a pretty small team and the gargantuan amount of vehicles (about 650 now) it's understandable. They're working on a hotfix at the moment. The new reload animations are absolutely unique for Bf1942 and worth the download alone.

Anyone played it yet? I know there are some. Any opinions on the changes/new vehicles? I'd love to hear them.

Haven't played much but I love the new MG cover system and reload animations... FHSW will always be awesome, but it's a shame there is almost no European audience for it.

finally, hope the singleplayer still works.

Haven't played much but I love the new MG cover system and reload animations... FHSW will always be awesome, but it's a shame there is almost no European audience for it.

I also love these animations more than all the new vehicles (with the exception of the Luchs maybe ). I hope some Europeans give it a chance and try it out, but that's what we hope with every release..

@ww2fighter20: SP appears to be completely broken now, the maps simply crash when you try to load them.

 Only 3 hrs to install........

 I cant believe this is still being developed.

 Too bad nobody plays it.

And this is why people should play this more often:




Sadly, the battle was over before I managed to get a shot off, due to my ping (>300) which hampered my attempts to get in a turret and the MASSIVE amounts of cannons on each ship.

And the perfect time to try it out is on the upcoming weekend, the European server hosts a 2 day event.
