2.4 UPDATE
I'm getting closer to being ready for the 2.4 release everyday, and I thought I'd show y'all some of the new toys you'll be able to play with :)
Panzer 38(t)
After Czechoslovakia was taken over by Germany in 1938, a number of Czech tanks were adopted for use by the German Army. One such tank was the Panzer 38(t) (in German, the Sd. Kfz. 140).
Although it didn't boast much in terms of armor (10mm-25mm) it was equal to most of it's German counterparts, like the Panzer I and Panzer II. Where it showed it's usefulness was in it's gun.
It's 37 mm Skoda A7 gun was more powerful than that of the the Panzer I or II, and even with the early Panzer III. For this reason, it saw extensive use early in the war, from France to invasion of Russia.
G4M2 "Betty"
The G4M2 was the main land-based bomber used by the Japanese during WWII. While the Allies called it "Betty", the Japanese pilots called it "Hamaki" (cigar) due to its cylindrical shape.
The G4M was agile for a bomber, due to it's light-weight construction. However, this also provided very little protection for the crew. To offset this, gunner positions in the ventral turret and tail were equipped with a Type 99 20mm cannon (a Japanese version of the 20mm Oerlikon cannon).
It is loaded with 12 60kg (140lb) Type 99 bombs, and can be found either spawning on an airfield or in a holding pattern in the skies above the 'Front.
So far, the pre-release testing is going well and I hope to have 2.4 ready for release in the next 7-10 days. Here's a quick look at the current changelog:

It won't be long now, so keep checking back for news on the next release!
The full stand-alone version (not a patch) of 2.4 is now available for download! The file name says WarFront_2.5_Full, but that was an error on my part, it is the 2.4 release.
----------------------------------
INSTALLATION:
Thie version is a stand-alone release, NOT a patch. It completely replaces the WarFront 2.0 mod and the 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 patches for that mod. To keep installation problems to a minimum, delete your existing WarFront folder from your Mods directory, and extract the contents of this file to the same Mods directory...typically, "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 1942\Mods\" (although your path may be different).
If you choose to keep your existing WarFront folder, overwrite with the contents of this file, but I assume no responsibility for any damages to any files on your computer that may occur during the extraction or overwriting process.
