And before you ask:
No Panzer III in these news. No hint - nothing! :cya:

Interesting update. Flames look nice. Can we expect a handheld flamethrower coming too?

Can the mappers whose maps didn't make the second round post screen shots of their maps? I'm interested in checking those out.

Did the flames come out of the standard barrel?

Mp5-Killa December 19th, 2004 03:16 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Very nice. Much better flamethrower than the other ones I've seen in mods.

I'll add it to the announcementforum tomorrow.

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
w00t w00t!!!

Flames look really really good! We've been asking for this for a whiles! And the PIAT model looks nice as well.

Alas, no Pz. Kpfw III, but I smell something is on the horizon :rolleyes:

Congrats to the guys who made it into the 2nd round. Ask for something good! :naughty:

You might try to improve it and try your luck with Fanmappack #2. Or just send me the details I requested in the mapping forum and it will be showcased in the custom mapsection with the updated homepage. ;)

Btw: No comment to the flagicons? *g*

Al Capone December 19th, 2004 03:34 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
I'd ask for a french chateu with interior, similar to the building in Call of Duty united Offensive where as Americans you hold off the attacking Germans.

Or maybe a fully moddeled Pavlovs house?

Or for a vehicle maybe a Glostor Metoer?

Or maybe even a Fairy battle?

:bawl:

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
AWESOME!!! Good to see some credit going to the fans in the Suggestion forums for once ;). Flames look fantastic, better than any others I've seen for any other mod. And I'm liking the transparent flags!!! Overall great job devs!!

Bugs: I'm guessing you've turned out to be the normal news guy now? :p

I will do the news as long Pierce is not available. Nothing more, nothing less ;)

And for all of you - image of transparent flag (US):

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Loving the news updates, as usual you never know what to expect in them. I kinda guessed the release date wasnt gonna be announced just yet. And who cares with all these great additions coming thick and fast everyweek I wouldnt mind if it was still another month away.

As everybody else has commented the flame tanks look very impressive, thanks devs for all the great work you guys are doing. And after the 0.66 release a handheld flamethower on some new pacific maps would be mega.
Sorry to go a bit off topic here but has the fh team ever gave any thought into remaking some of the pacific maps like midway. I would love too see one of them massive naval battles recreated on a new fh pacific map.

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Wow that flamethrowing sherman is just a piece of art!
Nice update and 3 cheers for the people that made it to the next round of the contest:D

MkH^ December 19th, 2004 04:28 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
By the way, does that M2 have a new model and skin, or am I just seeing things?

Abearikishiswisscheese December 19th, 2004 04:28 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Wow! I didn't think that it was possible, but those flames look realistic and beautiful! Good work!
I also think that the transparent flags are a great idea (I just got a little worried that they would just be blue or red dots like in the mini-mod. However, thanks to Bugs this fear has been alieved as they are real flags)

Pickerel December 19th, 2004 04:28 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Blimey, those ARE nice flames. Best ones I've seen to date. :D

Actually, that might make for an interesting map.

The russians would be confined only to the inside of the house, and the germans would have to try to storm it. You could use flags in different rooms with a very small cap radius, take the grenades away from the kits, etc, etc.

That would be some awsome close quarters combat. :nodding:

terminal-strike December 19th, 2004 04:40 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
beautiful guys! just absolutely beautiful!!! Definitely the best flame thrower yet from the looks of the screenies, blows away the dice one and as far I can tell from still shots edges out the bg one as well.

THe new piat looks good too, I like every inch of it ecept those wierd stichys which look kinda...meh. ... well anyway I love the rest of it though. Very nice skin overall.

silian December 19th, 2004 04:45 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
About time! Finally a flamethrower tank!

Well they say the proof of the pudding is in the eating, can't wait to give it a go.

terminal-strike December 19th, 2004 04:48 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Aye, it loooks friggena awsome. So flamey yet also fluidity and also burning. Yay for fire!

FactionRecon December 19th, 2004 04:54 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
And don't forget that new PIAT model! Nice one Gibs!

FactionRecon December 19th, 2004 05:06 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Indeed. Hopefully it has some kind of "effect" with soldiers where the corpses catch flame?...Or perhaps I'm just being sadistic.

Marcituchi December 19th, 2004 05:17 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Awesome flame effects. I can't wait to see all those other effects that will be included in the new version. :bows:

CluelessFlyboy December 19th, 2004 05:28 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Hehe - though we asked you to copy the Battlegroup42 flamers isn't it a bit cheeky to copy their Iwo Jima screenshots (like that famous one from June):

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/...uskerpat/2.jpg

http://forums.ampednews.com/showthread.php?t=74654

Can I ask, if you stand in front of the flamer barrel when it's not firing, does the little flame burn you like the BG one? I always thought that was a nice feature. And will you also do a Flammenpanzer III like theirs (when you get a panzer iii) - it's my favourite.

yuiop December 19th, 2004 05:35 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Looks great. Which maps will have the flame tank?

schoolkid December 19th, 2004 05:46 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
If the screenshot above is from BG42, then I must say their Sherman looks a lot nicer. However, FH flames totally pawn BG42's (judging from the screenshots above and on main page.)

DreadgnoutH December 19th, 2004 06:05 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
The best flame effects in the BF scene:eek: Really nice work
more tanks with flamethrower in this release?

Zehnder December 19th, 2004 06:06 PM

Thank you dev team!

i like i like i like, i like alot! those flames quite amazing! and the piat, awesome!
nice work guys, another great update from the devs !:bows:
cant wait to try out the tank! ya, the bg42 tank looks pretty good, its sandy...
that would go nice with FH...wink wink

terminal-strike December 19th, 2004 06:09 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
man you got some balls brining that riff-raff into a FH news post lol. Aaanyway its good to keep up the competetion like that, especially with FH one-uping them on the efffects.

FactionRecon December 19th, 2004 06:14 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Man BG's flames are a joke compared to FH's looks like. Well, better for us FH'ers.

Krazy Kommando December 19th, 2004 06:17 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
nice update again guys! cant wait to burn some japs with the flamer sherman :)

Lt Luger December 19th, 2004 06:35 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Yes the flame thrower Sherman is cool but the Japanese weapons already are inferior to Allies and now its going to get worse. How about some Japanese kick-ass weapons to counter the flame thrower Shermans. We dont' want all players trying to play on the Allied team because they want the better weapons.

McGibs December 19th, 2004 06:48 PM

Re: December 19th News Update!
 
Japanese have some tricks up thier sleaves :p
Iwo Jima is a very balanced map, even with the POA.

For .66, the sherman POA will be the only flame unit, and it will only be found on iwo jima. In the future we are planning to include many more flame tanks, such as the Flammenpanzer III, Churchill Crocodile, and T34-flamethrower (name eludes me).

Hand held flamethrower kits are also in the works for Germans, Americans, British, and Russians. Of coarse, these will be in limited supply, as they are very deadly weapons. They arnt your standard pussy 5 meter range flamethrowers. Though they only have 10 seconds of fuel, so spray wisely :p (tanks have a few minuets, and much longer range)

http://fhprivate.bf1942files.com/fhp...=&postid=24897
This is a sherman POA. As you can see, there is almost no different between it and a regualr sherman (only noteable thing is the seam on the cannon that shows there is a flame nozzel inside)
Flamethrowers were usually mounted on either:
Main gun
Co-axial MG port
Hull MG port
