Battlefield 1918 is a total conversion modification for Battlefield 1942. The mod takes Battlefield 1942 into a whole new scenario, the first world war. Next to historically correct equipments and vehicles, we try to recreate the atmosphere of these WW1 battlefields as close as we can, keeping in mind the game we're working with. To achieve this, we've drastically changed the gameplay from the original game like so that you must now rely on teamwork, artillery, trenches and slow vehicles....

I find it a bit odd that the Hotchkiss 1909 is only used by the French since it was also used by the British and Americans. Though for the Americans it is understandable since they only used them a little in France. The Belgians in late-war should use the Chauchat and possibly but it would require a remodel & animations to make the infamous US Chauchat version in .30/06.

You are right, the fact is that this lmg was added in the last update, almost before the release, so it did not have time to spread to other factions. Of course, it has the right to be in the recruitment of the British, American, and Russian armies. Just like Chauchat in the ranks of the American army, instead of the Bar 1918 as the main light machine gun, including the American modification. Also, these machine guns can be in the ranks of the armies of the countries of the Central Powers, as trophies. But, not as the main weapon, but as pick-up kits.

That's understandable and I agree it could be in all of those armies. Another thing that dawned on me is that colonial soldiers especially the German Askari should have Kugelhandgranate instead of stielhandgranate and reichsrevolvers since since they were isolated from the rest of Germany since the outbreak of the war, so they would have no opportunity to get the latest wartime grenades if grenades at all.

This goes without saying, including the lack of lmgs mg08/15. Moreover, this update will include several new and old Askari maps with bot support.
