FHSW: Squeeze bore guns & Super Tank destroyer

Squeeze bore guns & Super Tank destroyer

The Japanese are getting some new weapons to deal with enemy aircraft and armour. For the allies there is a squeeze bore adoptor to the light 37 and 40 mm anti tank guns. This muzzle device makes it possible to penetrate even more armour using the same gun.

Type 4 twin 20 mm gun pedestal mount:

 

 

 

This was a gun mount for the Type 98 AA gun that was installed on Japanese ships. It will also be featured on ground vehicles like the Type 94 truck to make a new self-propelled AA gun variant with twice the firepower of the SPAA truck with just one 20 mm gun.

Type 5 Ho-Ri II

 

This was a planned variant of the Type 5 Chi-Ri medium tank, only a prototype of the medium tank was built. This tank destroyer has a 10.5 cm experimental canon, a hull mounted 37 mm gun like on the Chi-Ri which in this case fires smoke rounds and the aforementioned 20 mm gun twin mount on the back of the vehicle. It looks a lot like the German Jagdtiger but the armour is only strong enough in the front to hold against other tanks. Which means The vehicle is vulnerable to flanking.According to FHSWdev the driver not only controls the 10.5 cm gun but can also switch between 37 mm gun and hull machine gun. This ability to use three different weapons independently will also be brought to the Maus tank, making it possible to use the 12.8 cm gun and switch between the coaxial 75 mm gun and machine gun.

Type Ge Anti-Tank Gun

 

This new artillery piece has the barrel of a Pak41 gun on Japanese designed carriage. A 150 Pak41 were made in Germany and there was a project to copy it in Japan. It is a squeeze bore gun which fires a 75 mm projectile down a 55 mm barrel, name "Ge" comes from Herman Gerlich who experimented with squeeze bore guns in the 1930s. For this type of gun the muzzle velocity and armour penetration is high but the post-penetration effect is limited since the rounds have no explosive filler. Historically this project was dropped in Japan to focus on developing ammunition for existing guns.

 

Littlejohn Adaptor 

 

The Allies also developed squeeze bore weapons. The littlejohn adoptor could be attached to the end of a regular 40 mm QF 2 pounder gun to increase its effectiveness against armour. It was used on armoured cars, light tanks and tested on Hawker Hurricane Mk.IID aircraft with 40 mm gun pods. The US military also made one for their 37 mm AT gun, here shown on the M8 Greyhound armoured car.

Anonther upgrade to the British 2 pounder gun is that the gun shield extensions will always be installed on the sides. They were often not used to save weight but are especially useful in FHSW where fighting is at short distances.

FHSW: New AT and AA Weapons

While German, American and British anti-tank weapons have been introduced before this is the first time the Soviet gets some new ones. In late war battles they have had to use captured Panzerfaust but now there are several new weapons being introduced including the first two RPGs.  There also several new weapons for other nations, including the first man portable-air defense systems like the Fliegerfaust. 

LPG-44

The LPG-44 was developed during the war in response to the German Panzerfaust and Panzerschreck. Compared to foreign weapons the power and effective range is like a Panzerfaust and it is reloadable like a Bazooka. It was formally adopted as the RPG-1 but was replaced by the RPG-2 shortly after.  

DRG-40

The DRG-40 more commonly known as the RPG-2 was the first Soviet man-portable rocket launcher put into serivce. The power and especially the range is greater than the earlier launcher. In FHSW it stands somewhere between the Panzerfaust 250 and the M1A1 Bazooka.  

T-30 and T-59 for the Bazooka

Two more rockets are also added for the M1A1 Bazooka to keep up. The new T59 rocket is an even bigger step up from the regular M6 rocket against tanks with greater range and effect on target. The high explosive T30 rocket detonates on impact which will make it easier to hit infantry around cover than before. Previously rockets delivering smoke, frag grenades or more powerful HEAT rockets have been added in update v.06 (see article).

VPGS-41

The VPGS-41 was a anti-tank rifle grenade introduced in 1941. Like the many rifle grenades of the First World War it has a rod to slide down the barrel of a regular rifle. It was only made for a few months because of limited effectiveness and the rod wore down the rifling in the barrel.  VKG-40 & 

VOG-40

The Mosin rifle gets a new grenade launcher with two different types of munitions. The VKG-40 is a HEAT type to be used against armour and the VOG-40 is a regular frag rifle typically carried by riflemen to deal with other infantry.  With all those weapons being introduced it also been said that rifle grenades will be more common. HEAT rifle grenades will more often be available for riflemen to give them some ability to destroy enemy vehicles to make them more viable compared to dedicated anti-tank kits on vehicle heavy maps. Rifles like the G-43 and StG-44 will have access to rifle grenades which they did not have before.  

Type 5 45 mm recoilless gun

The Type 5 45 mm recoilless gun is a Japanese counterpart to the Panzerfaust. Like the typical Panzerfaust the muzzle velocity and range is limited but the armour penetration is high. The launcher can also be reloaed.  

7 cm Barrage Mortar

This 7 cm mortar is an unique AA weapon that launches seven airborne mines in the air that then slowly fall with parachutes. The rate of fire of the mortar makes it possible to create "minefields" in the air.  

Fliegerfaust

The Fliegerfaust was a rocket launcher which fired nine 20 mm rockets all at once against aircraft. The rocket spread out make it easier to hit aircraft but against ground targets it has limited effectiveness.  Source: X.com (You can also the weapons being fired and reloaded there.)

HG 1942 Mod: Another Modern Conflict Performance

HG 1942 Mod:

(Disclaimer: It is a recreation of a bunch of Mods, which means almost all of Animations, StandardMesh, Sound, Texture, Map materials are from Moddb, BF-GAMES, GameFront, and even All the Internet. I just integrated and used them instead of creating them, the honor should belong to them. I am not a qualified modder. I have misappropriated almost 90% of the resources on the Internet and have not been authorized by the original author, such as Battlegroup42, FHSW, Experience XWWII, Gunner's Mod, Operation Anubis, Parallel World, Zombie Mod, Desert Combat, BF1941, High-Definition Remaster, and so on... It is meaningless to list all mods of Battlefield 1942 in the world, then unrealistically to contact and ask every author for permission, so if you you think I have used a certain mod, your judgment is usually correct. If I offended you or these authors, please forgive me. I just made this for fun and imagination, not profit or fame, if you need me to take it down, please let me know. Also, I need to thank these mod developers, without them I wouldn't be able to assemble everything I want now, even if I don't have to start from scratch. This consumes a lot of time. It is really a time-consuming and labor-intensive job. I admire them for starting from scratch)

This Mod attaches great importance to the single-player experience because without a good single-player experience, there is no motivation to continue playing. Therefore, the BOT of this Mod enjoys some bonuses to make up for its shortcomings. The BOT bonus of Coop mode is much exaggerated compared to the Campaign mode because there is no ticket penalty in the former. Kill will no longer provide the score, to make you close to BOT of TAB Key. Only attack and defend will give you the score. This feature works both hardcore and non-hardcore.  Other changes include hiding the mini-map information, not allowing zooming in with non-sniper rifles, and limiting the spare ammunition for explosive weapons, medical kits and wrenches to restrict the player's strength. However you can disable these hardcore features in Non-Hardcore, check your mod selection in the game menu.  More detail see the description of image. (https://www.moddb.com/mods/hg1942/images)

===========================

Map logo introduction

===========================

Nothing--Original route: From the Yongding River at Marco Polo Bridge to the Spree River in downtown Berlin, a very normal worldline.  Red--Soviet attack: History begins to branch. In front of Berlin, the Soviet Union decides to bypass the German remnants and head west.  Purple--Desperate Counterattack: The Allies were forced to withdraw their troops to fight the enemy, and the remnants of the Axis Powers got a respite, and then they began to plan a new round of counterattack  Grey--Zombie Frenzy: How could this happen? Many civilians have been infected and mutated by unknown biological viruses.  White--The Last Stormtrooper: Rich by equipment, poor by mutation, it turns out that the desperate fascists decided to become the noblest.

===========================

Background introduction

===========================

Soviet attack: After occupying Berlin, the darkness and fear of the future shrouded Eastern Europe, and the Allies began to use ideas and materials, the combined sugar-coated bullets were used to persuade the East ideologically. A large number of people from the red land began to flee. The poor livelihood economy and the grand ambition of conquest made Stalin make a new historical decision. The Soviet Union will advance from east to west, from West Berlin to Vancouver, and then to Washington, relying on the quantity and quality advantages of ground armored units before the current armaments become obsolete. This is not an invasion, but a relocation of the missing population... In the East, the KMT started a new round of Northern Expedition, and the CCP also responded to the expansion of the Red Storm and fought back with the support of equipment and technology. The Third World War was about to break out, and the Allied front fell apart. This will be a new historical trend...

Desperate counterattack: 

Although the Soviet Union began to penetrate Central and Western Europe hastily, they strategically bypassed the urban area of ​​Berlin for speed, which allowed them to quickly collide with the Western Allied Forces. The Allies had to give up the attack on South Germany. The German and Italian fascists huddled their remaining elite and technical personnel in the underground of Berlin and the Alps - the belt turned to semi-guerrilla warfare, and looked forward to the counterattack of the miracle weapon plan. The United States and the Soviet Union were in a fierce battle, and the German-Italian coalition began to plan a new round of blitzkrieg... In the East, the Pacific Allies slowed down their offensive against the Japanese mainland due to the need to support Europe and China. In response, Japan in the East began to use the Kamikaze Force originally used for the decisive battle on the mainland to launch a leapfrog counterattack to disrupt the Allied chessboard further. In this way, the desperate counterattacks of the Axis Powers in the East and the West began on Christmas Day after Christmas Eve...  (You may ask why the Soviet Union in My secret weapon timeline is styled like this: This is because I compared it to the Soviet Union in Red Alert 1. So the so-called Mammoth Tank is their Super Heavy Tank, and the V2 Missile Launcher is their Self-Propelled Artillery, etc.)

2025.11.13 HG Mod update, testing content, only a few maps, check the "PW" map prefix and "RC" map symbols, it tries to simulate post-1945, WW2 still doesn't stop and thus units evolve like modern war equipment when WW2 style is still keeping. Many asserts are inherited from the mod Parallel World, so this is my version of ParallelWorld. Try to explore cold war~modern war conflict performance in existing assets.  As it is a test for modern conflict and still not an official storyline to add into the background yet, vehicles in "PW" maps respawn very quickly.

FHSW Mod: H-41, MFP, PiLB43, Seydlitz

Another batch of ships will reinforce the German navy and there is also a new AA gun for the Japanese. These include the planned H-41 battleship and the aircraft carrier Seydlitz and landing craft for the German panzers.

H-41

The H-class were meant to be the next battle ships after the Bismarck class. There were several designs but only the H-39 and H-41 were considered by Naval high command, the ship size increased with each design. Compared to the Bismarck the H-41 has higher calibre main guns, lower speed, more light AA guns. Armour protection is also increased all around.

 

8.6 cm RAG  

 

A new and unique weapon of the H-41 and MFP is the 8.6 cm RAG (Raketen abschussgerät). This is a type of anti-air rocket launcher with rockets that deploy a parachute to cover a larger area. The most similar weapon are the UP Rocket launchers on HMS Hood in FHSW.

 

MFP

 

Marinefährprahm were landing craft made for the invasion of Britain. This particular model is the Type D which was the largest and most well armed. It has a dual purpose 88 mm gun and light flak guns.

Type 99 88 mm gun

The Japanese happened to capture the same model of dual purpose gun in China. It was copied and adopted as the Type 99 88 mm gun. Compared to the Japanese Type 88 75 mm gun it is both more powerful and protected against enemy fire.

 

 

PiLB43

 

The Pionierlandungsboot 43 was another landing craft. Essentially a barge with 2 flak guns it can transport even larger vehicles than the MFP. Because of its shape it can operate even in shallow waters.

Seydlitz

Seydlitz was as an Admiral Hipper class heavy cruiser that was almost finished before WWII. After the loss of Bismarck it was decided to convert it into an aircraft carrier. Like the Graf Zeppelin it was never finished. It only has anti-aircraft armament making it vulnerable to other ships. On the other hand it is quite fast.

FHSW: Several new destroyers are introduced to bring the German navy up to par with other navies

One gap in Forgotten Hope and FHSW between the battleship Bismarck , Admiral Hipper heavy cruisers and their many submarines has been destroyers. Now the German navy will have everything from the first to last destroyers that started construction in the 1930s to the end of WWII.

Type 1934

Also known as the Z1 class this was a group of four destroyers whose design initially was limited by naval treaties but was quickly changed to better match destroyers of other navies. This is the first new ship type since the original US Elco and Japanese Type 38 PT boats with the ability to lay sea mines. Sea mines will be visible on the minimap for allies to avoid hitting them. The gun armament is fairly limited. While the main 12.8 cm guns can fire AA shells against aircraft they have limited gun elevation.

Type 1936

The Type 1936 or Z17 class have increased firepower with one additional 12.8 cm gun turret or 5 guns in total. While the firepower is somewhat mediocre it is faster than many other destroyers. The secondary anti-aircraft armament has also been increased with quad 20 mm guns and additional 3.7 cm guns. There will also a late war configuration with the single shot 3.7 cm guns replaced with clip fed Flak M42.

Type 1936A

The Type 1936A or Z31 class are the first German destroyers with 15 cm guns, more typical for a light cruiser. The amount of main guns is the same but it is also the first with a twin gun mount with high gun elevation. In this case it allowed for additonal AA guns in the front instead of two main gun turrets.

Type 1936C

Finally there is the Type 1936C or Z46 class. While in reality only two were laid down all five that were planned were cancelled this particular model also takes in to account how it would have been armed with additional AA guns as part of Project Barbara. It has six 12.8 cm main guns and a extraordinary AA armament with automatic twin 5.5 cm guns (similar to the Flakpanzer V in FHSW) and quad 30 mm guns.

See you at the next news, or on the FHSW Server. Stayed tuned for further news.
