Today we'd like to show you the German Focke-Wulf 190 and the Gewehr 43. The Focke-Wulf was modeled and skinned by our new dev Bender64 and the Gewehr 43 was modeled and skinned by Seth Soldier.
The development of the Focke-Wulf FW190 started in 1937, when the need for a more advanced airplane to fight alongside the Messerschmitt 109 was anticipated. The first prototype flew in 1939 and by the autumn of 1941 the first of the new fighters were delivered to the front lines. The FW190 quickly proved to be superior to the Spitfire model of that time and it was generally considered to be a good plane by its pilots. Later in the war other models of the FW190 allowed it to be used as a fighter-bomber and ground attack aircraft. In total 20,000 FW190s were made during the war.
In 1940, the need for a semi-automatic rifle arose in the German army and both the Walther and Mauser companies were instructed to start working on a design. This led to the G41(W) and G41(M) and although both rifles performed very poorly, the Walther Gewehr41 was clearly superior and the Mauser and this model was canceled. In 1943, Walther developed an improved version, the Gewehr 43, which proved to be much more reliable. In 1944, the rifle was renamed the Karabiner 43 (K43). Over 400,000 of these new rifles were manufactured in the war.
That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next time for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our IRC channel and our public forums to discuss this update and other news.
pro quality work as usual hats off to you
Very nice.
FH2 should really be for BF2142... then i'd play it (yes i have BF2 but its so bugged and horrible forget it).
2142 is pretty much BF2 modded to some extent, the team probably sees no significant advantage in moving over.
The BF2 engines coding in python is much more flexible than the 2142 coding, 2142 is much more restricted. A WWII mod would not benefit from the 2142 engine at all over the BF2 engine.
Well, we talk about some time ago. And we haven't reasons for jumping to every new engine. Better to do complete mod than do 0.1 and jump to next engine ;)
Superb, the Focke-Wulf is looking so much like the models kits I used to make.. exceptional... nice Gewehr also
dude, awesome adds to your team, he made by far in my opioion, one of thee best german fighters, and that g43 looks uber. all respections to yous xD
Little add-on for news.
It's FW-190A-8, most typical version of FW-190 for summer 1944. He used as a interceptor and ground attack aircraft.
