You can test as much as you like, but in a large mod like Battlegroup42 there are always some nasty or harmless bugs hiding successfully from our watchful eyes. This has happened in our version 1.5 as we´ve announced earlier. Thanks to feedback from the community and our own findings we were able to eliminate those bugs and are now releasing a patch with which you can update your version 1.5 to version 1.51.
The Battlegroup42 team also used this patch to tweak some settings regarding the balancing on some maps, as well as to integrate ideas of the community and new content which came too late for the 1.5 release, notably the French FM 24/29 machine gun. This excellent weapon was introduced in the French Army in the 1930´s in great numbers. Because of that, the Wehrmacht was able to capture many of them during the Battle of France. This circumstance allowed us to eliminate one the most complained inequality in BG42: On early Eastern Front maps where the German assault class with the MP 40 had a Russian counterpart with DP 1928, the FM 24/29 is now used on the German side..
The French assault class also got the FM 24/29 while the MAS 38 is now the main weapon of the medic class. The FM 24/29 was later also used by the Free French troops and preferred over the BAR. Even after the war it was used for a long time, for example by the French Foreign Legion during the First Indochina War. The model was made by Seth Soldier, the skin by RuppDee.
For some time now, the Battlegroup42 team has been in contact with the Hungarian Front mod team in order to exchange our old, low-quality Hungarian tanks with the excellent models from Master T. Thanks to the efforts of our Hungarian team member SimLac we were able to replace our old Turan II model with the HF model. The tank was converted and recoded by Sarge31FR.
