Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon (FHSW) is an unofficial continuation of the famous Forgotten Hope (FH), a Battlefield 1942 modification. We say unofficial since FHSW is developed by FH fans, not the original FH creators. In 2007 it started as a small addon but since then it has grown to be one of the biggest mods of all time! What makes this mod special is that it adds lots of - but not only - Secret Weapons which saw limited or no action at all during WW2 like jet fighters and super heavy tanks. Some of the maps feature "what-if" battles like a landing operation on the Japanese mainland or attacking a secret German base in the African desert.
The Jagdtiger in FHSW is probably the most detailed vehicle ever made in Battlefield 1942.
I beg to differ, the M3 Stuart in FH1 is the most detailed in my opinion.
Yes the Stuart is also a very detailed model, but still doesn't even come close to the Jagdtiger. Have you seen it in-game? The picture doesn't really show it but every bolt and screw on that thing was modelled, look at the poly count for example:
Stuart: ~4000 polys
Jagdtiger: over 20000
It's not really necessary to do this but I guess FHSWman wanted to create an extremely detailed model just for the heck of it.
I think it has to do with the fact that the Jagdtiger is 4x bigger then Stuart.:)
Oops late reply.
That's true but it doesn't mean much in terms of polycount since the Jagdtiger has a really simple shape, you basically only need like 20 polys for the hull and superstructure. Turrets with their round shape definitely require more.
