Wow that's some hot stuff there!

How did you finally get them to work correctly?

Very good info there McGibs. Any chance we could get a few hints on those Jap tricks?...

***Gobo12*** · December 19th, 2004

Nice update, I wasn't expecting a flamethrowing vehicle for this update. Also anxious about the fan map pack and the idea of a nice custom static. The flame effects seem of a high quality, nice work guys.

Hey, my map is in the second round

.

umm, what does that mean though?

is there another round before its decided which go in the map pack?

And how would I go about contacting Armin Ace?

It involves a couple dozen kilos of explosives, a detonator, and a fanatical japanese soldier. (there's only 2 kits on iwo though, so dont worry about being overrun by exploding japs) XD

The flame sherman only spawns every 15 min or so on the landing craft, so once it's out, it's out for a while. Japanese MG and mortar positions are very nasty to american infantry. (yes mortars. they kick ass now. with a bit of practice and fire adjusting, you can pin down a position single handedly from across the map. you can find them on most maps)

Nice update, the flame tank looks acpecially interesting! the flames actually look good, far better than any other mods attempt at doing a flame tank anyway (no dissrespect to other mods)

Great news! I've been looking forward to mortars receiving more of a use, as they
were used frequently in real war. Can't wait to test them out.

LMAO. Kamikaze expackers like myself have been waiting ever since the day BF1942 came out for the time when we would be able to trigger the expacks without laying them down first.....this will be excellently evil.

Does this also mean mortars can use indirect fire (via the Forward Artillery Observer)
