FHSW 0.73 released!
For months it had been quiet about the FHSW Mod, but the developers were not idle, because now the Japanese developers are back with new content for the FHSW Mod. This time there is no patch, but a full version, which means you have to delete your old FHSW folder, or save it to another location and then install the new FHSW v0.73. In our test, the Mini Mod v1.0 designed by FHSW-Europe did not seem to work. A renewal of the Mini Mod package should follow soon. Unfortunately, the author of the article is unknown, otherwise we would have mentioned him as usual.
Please normally download the client package.This time, due to the extensive update contents, we do not have a differential file prepared. Only the full version is available for release. You can unzip it directly with various decompression tools that support .zip format.- Client Package (Client)

Change Log:
(Weapons and Ammunition)
+ Additions* Modifications
◆ Common to All Countries
* Improvements to the behavior of towed artillery, bombing request radios, and forward base tent installations.The issue where towed artillery, bombing request radios, and forward base tents could respawn after being destroyed has been fixed. Now, when attempting to install in a location with nearby objects, it will automatically search for empty spaces to place them.
* Changes to the management of remaining ammunition for packaged explosives.In each country's packaged explosives, the reference relationship for 10-second and 5-second explosions has been changed for better management of remaining ammunition. This may improve the phenomenon where 'even when there is remaining ammunition, selecting 5 seconds switches to another weapon.' However, there may be instances where you cannot select 10 seconds, and if you embedded only 10-second explosions, it could crash. The stateless ones maintain the previous reference relationship, so please ensure to assign stateless 10 seconds when used in embedded settings.
* Increased ammunition count for self-propelled artillery focused on indirect fire.The ammunition count for self-propelled artillery and self-propelled rocket artillery, which mainly engage in indirect fire, has been increased. They can now sustain fire for a while even when away from ammunition boxes. Note that there have been no changes to direct-fire self-propelled artillery.
* Improved accuracy of mounted machine guns.Considering changes in combat distance due to the expanded zoom application range, the accuracy of mounted machine guns across all countries has been improved. More caution is advised against enemy tank machine gun fire. However, there are no changes to machine guns used by infantry.
* Removal of black smoke effects from some artillery.The black smoke effects when low on HP have been removed from anti-tank guns with a caliber of 10 cm or less, and from anti-aircraft machine guns. While this prevents obstruction of visibility even when on the verge of destruction, it also means you can no longer judge damage accumulation status based on appearance.
* Aerial Supply Aircraft.The minimap icon has been changed again, and the supply range has been slightly expanded.* Reconnaissance Lead Aircraft.The respawn time of the aircraft being spawned has been adjusted.
* Ammunition Boxes.The time until it can be replenished again after depleting the quota for supplying infantry with anti-tank weapons has been shortened.
* Improved rapid-fire capabilities of revolvers.Settings have been reviewed, and the rapid-fire capability of revolvers from all countries has been improved.
* Increased blast radius of rifle grenades
The blast radius of each country's rifle grenades (grenades) has been improved, making them more destructive.
* Automatic rifle ejection effect
Fixed an issue where some of the automatic rifles in each country did not have the ejection effect properly.
* Infantry firearms cartridge case release direction
The direction of ejection of the cartridges of each country's infantry weapons has been revised so that they are kicked in a more accurate direction.
* Sniper rifle reload sound
Fixed an issue where the sound effect on reload was not changed from infantry guns for some sniper rifles in each country.
* Effects, sound effects
Fixed an issue where some effect sound effects were not playing properly.
*Static draw distance improvements
Fixed an issue where some static objects were no longer depicted at a relatively close distance.
*FHT barbed wire fence
In order to prevent the phenomenon of damage to some vehicles, the material of the FHT barbed wire fence has been changed to one without BF marks.
◆ United States
+T20E2 Automatic Rifle
To further improve the firepower of the M1 Garand, it was one of a myriad of ideas to add a swappable box magazine and a fully automatic fire function.
It has a large "parasol" muzzle brake and bipod to reduce muzzle bounce and improve rapid-fire performance.
+ENERGA Anti-Tank GrenadeDeveloped by Belgium after World War II, this shaped charge grenade was adopted by Western countries to enhance infantry anti-tank firepower. It boasts a level of penetration capability that can be expected to be effective when striking the front of a typical WW2 tank, but the post-penetration effectiveness is not as significant, making coordination with friendly infantry crucial.
+M9A1 Anti-Tank GrenadeThe M9 anti-tank grenade, developed further based on the French Bréguet anti-tank grenade, possesses high penetration power comparable to a bazooka. It is deployed not only by the US Army but also by the British and French armies.
+M9 Anti-Tank GrenadeThis is a remodeled and renamed version of the anti-tank grenade for the Springfield rifle that is currently implemented. It was only used in small numbers in the early stages of the war, but it is also an important step in passing the baton to the successor anti-tank weapons.
* T95 GMC Self-Propelled GunA long-range model texture for desert use has been prepared.
* M26 Pershing and derivative vehiclesCollision detection for descents has been added.* M5 Light Tank and derivative vehiclesDesert textures have been prepared.

* Ship-mounted 5-inch Single High-Angle GunThe soldier model has been removed, and it can now be shot from outside without being eliminated.
* 28mm Anti-Aircraft Machine GunFixed a setting error in muzzle velocity.
* BazookaAdded distance markings to the sight.
* M3 Submachine GunReflected historical accuracy and corrected magazine capacity.
◆ United Kingdom+ Gloster Gladiator FighterThe last biplane fighter adopted by the British Army, beginning to incorporate modern elements such as a closed canopy.Armament consists of four 7.7mm machine guns, which is sufficient, but carrier-based versions like the Sea Gladiator and variants for other countries will also appear.
+Luis BombA makeshift incendiary bomb made by mixing plastic explosives and diesel fuel for the British Army SAS to infiltrate and attack enemy airfields, it is small and lightweight, allowing for a great number to be carried, while being able to destroy aircraft and light vehicles with extreme efficiency. Those who carry something like this to infiltrate enemy territory are truly madmen.
* TOG Heavy TankThe track settings have been reviewed, and the turning performance has been slightly improved.
* Infantry Tank A43 Black PrinceReflecting historical accuracy, the elevation angles of the main gun have been reset. Additionally, considering the historical capability enhancement plan, the engine has been changed to a Meteor, achieving a remarkable increase in top speed and torque.
* Valentine Infantry TankFixed the issue where the smoke grenade icon for the second seat was not updated in some types.

* LanceFixed the issue where the remaining ammunition count and loading status of the second torpedo launcher in the torpedo seat were unknown.
* Polsten 20mm Machine GunCorrected the misconfiguration of bullet speed.
* 8-barreled Pom-Pom GunFixed the issue where the rotation sound was not playing correctly.
* SwordfishCorrected the position of the control surfaces on the horizontal tail wing.* Prince of WalesImproved the appearance of the distant model.
* No. 4 Sniper RifleCorrected the distortion in the distant model of the kit.
* PIATAdded a memo for distance markings to the sight.
*No.82 Gamon GrenadeChanged from time delay explosion to impact detonation, and now you can choose different amounts of explosives for anti-tank and anti-personnel use.The demolition variant has a high power and is capable of anti-armor attacks, while the anti-personnel version is ineffective against armor but has a wider blast radius.
◆ Italy + C.R.42 Fighter The last biplane adopted by the Italian military, it features the bis specification with two 12.7mm machine guns in the nose. There is also the C.R.42AS, which can carry two 100kg bombs for ground attack purposes, and a variant equipped with high fire rate machine guns for Hungarian specifications.
◆Germany +15cm sFH18 Heavy Howitzer With a modern gun carriage, it has a wide field of fire and can provide quick and powerful artillery support. It can also use superior ballistic reduced-caliber armor-piercing shells and ultra-high explosive shaped charges, giving it the capability to respond even in the event of encountering enemy heavy tanks. This model has been traded from BattleGroup42MOD.
+Hummel self-propelled howitzerIt is mounted on a chassis similar to that of the Nashorn and combines high firepower with satisfactory mobility. The early models are equipped with a shell casing for armor-piercing shells that excel in trajectory and velocity, while the later models are equipped with extremely powerful fin-stabilized shape charge shells.
+8.8cm PaK43/41 Anti-Tank GunThis long-barreled 8.8cm gun became the mainstay of the German forces in the mid-war period and is paired with the more advanced self-propelled version, the Nashorn. It was developed as a cost-effective towed version by combining parts from existing artillery. As an anti-tank gun introduced in World War II, it possesses more than sufficient firepower, but its large size makes it somewhat cumbersome to handle.
* Panzer IV and derived vehiclesFixed an issue where the desert texture was not displaying correctly.
* King Tiger (fixed type)Fixed a problem where it would self-destruct at certain angles.
* Tiger P2Adjusted the smoke position when taking damage.
* Jagdtiger Proposal 2Fixed an issue where the coaxial machine gun icon was not displayed.

◆ Soviet + T-20 Armored Towing Vehicle Equipped with a completely sealed cockpit and machine gun, it also functions as a small APC capable of carrying 6 people, although it does not have crew protection. Along with the canopy version, it was also captured and widely used in Finland.
+ZiS-30 Anti-Tank Self-Propelled GunThis is a vehicle mounted with a 57mm ZiS-2 anti-tank gun on a T-20 armored tractor. It appears to be quite unstable, and the protection for the gun crew is minimal; however, it retains a forward machine gun in addition to the cannon, which should suffice in terms of firepower. A variant equipped with a 76mm ZiS-3 divisional gun also appears.
+7.62mm GVG Machine GunLater renamed as the SG-43, this belt-fed machine gun was considered for late-war tanks like the T-44 as a new type of coaxial machine gun to replace the DT. While it does not differ significantly from the previous DT machine gun, the much-anticipated continuous firing duration with a 250-round belt is satisfactory.In FHSW, it will be mounted not only on the T-44 but also on some IS heavy tanks.
*IS Series Heavy TanksThe issue where the track movement sounds were not played correctly has been fixed.

*PPSh (for pistol port)The aiming spread amount during firing has been slightly improved.
*RGD33 Converging GrenadeMistake in the explosion radius setting has been corrected.
◆Japan + Type 90 Field Gun This artillery piece combines sufficient firepower to engage armored targets with user-friendly features due to its wide left and right firing angles. It can use not only high-explosive shells and armor-piercing high-explosive shells but also scatter shot, making it a versatile gun expected to perform well in both direct and indirect fire.
+ Type 91 10cm HowitzerCompared to similar caliber artillery from other countries, its performance is average. However, due to the standard equipment of high-explosive shells and shrapnel, as well as shaped-charge ammunition, it possesses a capability that should not be underestimated as an alternative anti-tank gun.

◆ France + Brand 50mm Anti-Tank GrenadeDeveloped in France around the onset of the war, it is fired from the MAS36 rifle. While its penetration power is typical for the era, it is the long-awaited domestically produced anti-tank weapon for the French army. It should serve as a reliable force against the tanks appearing early in the war.
* Maginot 75mm turret Fixed the issue where the shell type indicator was not displaying.
