Unsung heroes: Korea is an modification for BF1942 based on historical and military accuracy, the subject being; the Korean war of 1950-3 of course. the forgotten war, a subject that is often over looked, but interesting none the less. the following is a list of vehicles that we plan to have in game (some of which are already in BF1942)

  • M3 half track- Heavy transport

  • M16 'Quad .50'- AAA

  • Jeep- Light recce/Transport

  • F-51D Mustang- Fighter CAS

other factions may be added later.
So you may ask, 'why BF1942?' well, a number of reasons, for instance, since the BF42 engine and graphics are older, things like increasing draw distance, more accurate ballistics, and game physics would be easier to run, especially for older computers, than they would on newer games. and to be honest its just easier too work with. Though versions for BFV, BF2, and even Red Orchestra have been discussed, may be embarked upon in the future, after the successful completion, and release, of this version. until then though this mod team will continue to work in BF42.

despite the fact that the japanese in this only need a uniform change to have your korean soldier.

the yanks can probably stay the way they are i think

i dont think the uniforms changed much

so ur mod is half finished before you even start mate.

and the australian and cadadian and british soldiers are in the forgotten hope mod so theres as you call it your commonwealth soldiers.

so u got the americans and commonwealth and half the korean soldiers so all you need now is a damn chinese soldier just get a jap model and switch his eyes around and u'll have ur hinese soldier

1 no it was hilly, cold, and dry not humid dusty, hot and forrested.
2 as a brit im refering to us as the commonwealth (canada, UK, austrailia, new zeland, south africa ect.) all our troops used roughly the same equipment, and from 51' onward our troops where all incorperated into one unit (the commonwealth division) and if im not mistaken austrailia was not independent at that time, but im not entirely shure about that. i would love any help i can get, ill add you to the team.

also

korea was aparently alot like vietnam in terrain

oh and as an australian im asking you to not refer the commonwealth as the commonwealth please refer to us as australian and new zealand soldiers please.

afterall its not like we care about the commonwealth we are a country of our own we can sign a peice of paper anytime we want to to break away from the commonwealth but we dont want to because we dont want a president.

but in respect please refer to us as what we are not commonwealth please.

i'll be a beta tester if you need one

i've been craving for a korean war mod

battlefield vietnam should have been battlefield korea ya know

bf2142 should be bf2

anyways

i'd love to see the korean aircrafts in action and i would be more then happy to help out asmuch as i can.

though you'd be better of probabaly making this a battlefield vietnam mod as you would have far better graphics and half the vehicles are already in vietnam.

and all you'd have to do is convert the vietcong into chinese and north koreans

so you'd have a head start

but im willing to help with beta testing anyways

oh and take a look at your vehicles list you added

your already half way there with them

in the forgotten hope mod half of these are alreay in it

or the original bf1942 vanilla aswell

so all you'll need to do is perhaps reskin them and replace the russian colours with NVA colours and so on.
