Back2Fronts is an extensive mod that will overhaul your Call of Duty 2 game to a next level. This mod brings more variety, intensity, realism and battle-like experience. Try new weapons, fight new enemies, fulfil new missions and explore new options. Mod is SP and MP friendly (although primary part is SP).
The Downtown Sniper contained quite a few problems. Firstly. Lt. Volsky had regular russian infantry model. Secondly, the Panzerschreck placed there was a late war type. I corrected both these errors - Volsky has his usual commissar look and Panzerschreck is the early type.
As a small bonus I took away the scoped Kar98k from the table and placed a DP-28 machine gun into a window nearby. It will come very handy against the counter attacks. But of course it is still possible to play the mission in the old style - using the sniper rifle.
latewar Panzerscreck is replaced with the earlywar Panzerschreck (the same one was in the CoDUO btw).
Not is first Panzeschreck and Panzerfaust deployed in 1944 ? Before this germans use AT rifles,mobile Flak or PAK etc, Panzerschreck is from captured american Bazooka by germans in Tunisia 1943
That's a more complicated topic. Rocket launchers (US and German) were first used in North Africa in late 1942. Then (approximatelly in middle 1943) they became a common weapon.
But you are right that the panzerschreck was (probably) not used at Stalingrad. But I must put there some armor piercing weapon - either the early panzerschreck or the ptrs41 - because your objective is to destroy german halftrack and you can't do it without antitank weapon.
Btw, here are the dates of AT weapons:
* faustpatrone - early 1943
* panzerfaust 30 - early 1943
* panzerfaust 60 (in B2F mod) - early 1944
* panzerfaust 100 - late 1944
* panzerschreck 43 (in B2F mod) - early 1943
* panzerschreck 54 (in B2F mod)- break 1943/1944
* bazooka m1 (in B2F mod) - middle 1942
* bazooka m9 (in B2F mod) - early 1944
* ptrs41 (in B2F mod) - late 1941
* ptrd41 - late 1941
* boys mk1 - late 1937
* panzerbuchse 38 - early 1939
* panzerbuchse 39 - early 1940
Is it possible to take out an tiger tank by boys mk1? XDXD
I would rather you replace it with an AT rifle like the Panzerbüchse 39, PTRS41 or something just for historical accuracy sake.
Did you read the comments above? It says panzerbuchse is not in the mod. And I won't be making a gun just to fill one mission with it.
I will put ptrs41 there once it's finished.
Nice idea!
Do you know whether some Panzerschrecks were really used in Stalingrad? (not that it matter that much in-game, just asking out of curiosity)
see my comment above :)
Position of the Panzerschreck was changed - now it will lay on the table (where the scoped Kar98k originaly was).
