FHSW developing restarted for new content end of 2020!
After a long break FHSWman (developer) has started working on this mod again. The new content are: 7.5 cm IG 37 +++ TOG 2* +++ TOG 3 +++ Tiger II (“Porsche turret”) +++ Piaggio P.108
It has been pretty quiet around this mod but the player base is still here and it’s one of the few mods for Battlefield 1942 that still gets played online.
After a long break FHSWman, the man behind this mod, has let us know that he wants to provide further updates. However due to time constraints he will focus on bug fixing for the most part. But there are also some leftover models which only need little work to be put into the game. Five of them are featured in this article.
7.5 cm IG 37
Light and mobile gun for direct support of the infantry, introduced in 1944. The armor penetration is pretty low for the time but the HE shells carry plenty of power to dislodge entrenched infantry. There will be a towable variant for the Kettenkrad and Sd.Kfz. 251.
TOG 2*
A British heavy tank project developed early in World War 2 and greatly influenced by the experiences of the first World War. Already obsolete when built and therefore only prototypes were produced. The vehicle in FHSW is a mix of TOG 1 and TOG 2 with the 75mm gun in the hull, machine guns in sponsons and a 17 pounder (or a recoilless 4.5 inch gun) as main armament.

TOG 3
Similar to the TOG 2 but with added armor
Tiger II (“Porsche turret”)
Production Tiger II hull with the turret which was produced by Krupp for the alternative Porsche design. The first 50 Tiger II’s were fitted with this turret because there were delays in the production of the intended turret. The front armor is a bit weaker and ammo storage for the main gun is a bit lower, otherwise it’s the same vehicle as the regular Tiger II.
Piaggio P.108
Italian heavy bomber which entered service in 1941, only about 30 were built. An advanced feature for the time were the remote-controlled turrets above the engines. In FHSW it’s the first four-engined bomber on Axis-side and in addition to the regular bomber there will also be a torpedo bomber variant.
