Experience World War 2 Mod Update

[[7ID]B|REC.Ace101]

The Experience World War 2 mod website has been updated showing with a bunch of new renders. These renders are of the Flak 88 (FlaK-18). Read on to see what the Experience World War 2 mod team had to say.

It's first use, during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, gave the FlaK-18 it's fearful reputation as an effective Anti-Aircraft and Anti-Tank gun. Following it's success in France during the 1940 BlitzKreig, it proved to be a very powerful weapon against the Allies in the vast deserts of North Africa. It's 88mm L/56 cannon, with high velocity shells, had a devastating effect on Allied armor and the morale of their crews throughout the entire war.

Looks nice enough. It's obvious with that enormous gun-shield and high profile that the flak-18/36 wasn't designed for anti-tank combat, although the turn-table platform would come in handy, I'm sure. I wonder how the turn-table managed to cope with the enormous forces involved with firing parallel to the ground.

Designed in 1936... or used, whatever...

Also, they didn't put those in an open field..

Re: Experience World War 2 Mod Update

Not to be a wise-ass, but uh, isn't this what BF 1942 was for?

I know, this one uses the BF2 engine and therefore will have better graphics, sound etc...

Re: Experience World War 2 Mod Update

are you the same guy from bf2files?

Re: Experience World War 2 Mod Update

Yes, Doublevee, but it certainly required much more digging in than a more conventional anti-tank artillery piece. There were plenty of AT guns designed in or before 1936, the 3.7cm Pak35/36, for example, which entered production in 1928.

lbgspam, there are many things that you can do in Battlefield 2 that you couldn't in Battlefield 1942. One of the more current ones is actually getting people to play your mod; good luck getting a large regular player base with a new bf1942 mod now. Also, xwwII was also released for bf1942.

Having one bf-style game that takes place in ww2 doesn't negate every other mod that takes place in the same arena. Otherwise, most of bf2 would be "what DC was for".

Possibly more capable engine in arease, etc. Also, JUST because its WW2 dosn't mean its going to be the same as BF1942. BF1942 is arcadey and unrealistic as hell much like BF2, while XWWII focuses more on realism and immersion.

Nice work XWWII team.

Re: Experience World War 2 Mod Update

^^^ yeah lol - i don't know why anyone would think that because WW2 was done on an old crappy engine 4+ yrs ago that it has "already been done" and that there is no point doing it again. BF1942 was so amazingly popular that IMO doing a bf2 version can only be a good thing... That and i'm loving the direction these guys are taking. The super low-poly vehicle design is going to make for some MASSIVE tank battles. I'm intrigued!

Re: Experience World War 2 Mod Update

FH2 will be the best ww2 mod,,.. but if this mod has a lot of singleplayer... this one will be great too

Re: Experience World War 2 Mod Update

both FH and we are doing our very best, it's up to you to decide which one is better, of course after you played both.
