It may be an old game, but it is extremely fun when you haven't played it in a long time. The game's tank combat, and infantry fighting was kind of Gay, and naval combat was annoying. If you noticed because the tank bullets curve down, that makes them howitzers, howiter artilley guns do that, not tanks. Tanks shoot straight. But aside from that, the Air-Combat was amazingly great. Not only fun, but also semi-realistic, cause you could play from the cockpit. It seems like the game was a flight simulator with tanks. Considering the detail level of textures and flora+fauna.

It also has a great number of awesome mods:

Battlefield 1918

Forgotten Hope

Experience WW2

Desert Combat

It also had 2 expansion packs, the road to rome, and secret weapons. They were pretty cool i guess, but they didnt really add much things, the US Army still uses a 5 Shot Lee Enfield (Yeah, for real), they added the Italian Army, but they only made 1 cool new tank, the Carro Armato M13, but they reversed it, the Cannon is where the MG should be, and the MG is where the Cannon should be, it looks horrible. They did add the Baretta MG which was kind of cool. They added the French army, but gave them British guns, which was stupid.

Forgotten Hope managed to add many new things such as the fact that it has more singleplayer maps than BF1942 altogether. It added hundreds of new vehicles and weapons. Not to mention armies with their appropriate guns.

i love that game. btw all bullets and projectiles curve down due to gravity. the guns on tanks are essentially artillery (the german 88 for example, so yes tank shells curve downward.

Yes, they curve down slightly after fifty meteres in real life. In the game, a tank gun aimed forward can explode at about 20 meters in front of the tank. Like Howitzers do.

The Panzer IV does NOT mount a howitzer.

Plus, the German 88 was only used on the Tiger Tank, and the King Tiger, and the bullet on the 88 did not turn down, it was used not as artillery, but as an anti-aircraft cannon.

Tank shells are like bullets, they only start to curve down after a long way

Horray! I have just gotten started on a mod used on a 3D platform! I've just put it on ModDB for BF1942! Im so excited!

There are 7 maps:

  • Oosterbeek
  • Valkenswaard
  • Best
  • Son
  • Wolfheze
  • Arnhem
  • and Eindhoven

Linky

I have three screenshots from Fraps, they are taken in Battlecraft 1942. I would like to add more control points, but alas, I've reached the limit for Oosterbeek.

I've begun concept art for Wolfheze which will be my next map, but I'm still constantly polishing Oosterbeek, and I want to stop! I need to stop! But I cant! It needs to be more awesome!

Still awaiting "Authorisation" from the site admins :(

Although I do find it quite humorous that they misspelled authorization.

They dont have a Norway map sadly :(

It would be cool if they gave Germany a JU-87, and you got to paradrop into Osolo or something. That would be sick!
