23-12-2003 9:03pm... is now out:
BattleGroup42 Mod for Battlefield 1942
======================================
This is Beta Release 0.95 of BattleGroup42. It requires 0.9 to already
be installed, and is intended for Battlefield 1942 version 1.5.
It has the following gameplay changes:
- All tanks and anti-tank guns now have a fixed (low-power) zoom
- Heavy tanks have gunsights
- APCs have lowered MG positions and use ironsights
- Jagdpanther tank destroyer has high-powered (x2.5) zoom in second,
gunner's position
- Infantry small-arms, MGs and bazookas have increased damage
- Aircraft power has been rebalanced
- Tank projectiles have reduced damage against armour greater than they
could penetrate in real life
Despite the small version number change, 0.95 is a major update that
largely completes our ambition with 0.9 to 'redefine the battlefield' -
specifically to have all appropriate maps having all the right vehicles
for all the nationalities featured. With 0.95 (including 0.9) the
following maps are featured (the 5 new maps in 0.95 marked with an
asterisk, *):
1) 4104-Karst by Amaccann (with bot support)
