I have a question for the devs? Do you plan to add more japanese aircraft? I ask this becuase I would like some new models, specifically the G3M Nell, the A5M or the Ki-27 (maybe the Ki-10 in Fall of Nanking?) and the Ki-30 on Fall of Nanking and Khalinin Gol, because the current aircraft types in these maps are not historically accurate (appeared latter). And I also would like to see the Ki-43 in some maps...
Had you tought about it already? you're not interested? or there's more important things after 1.8. (If there's something after 1.8 that's it...)

In the final version i really like to see is better bots pathways because thy get stuck many times or do not move in some maps. and it's maybe impossible but some naval warfare with bots would be cool.
Aah just make every map with bots YEAH!
BTW are there clans for this mod?
You guys did super awesome job. This mod is so really detailed... very nice job... just some little things like i feel the königstiger too weak in terms of armor, make it super indestructible. Like it was. An iron sight would be nice but it's not really necessary . One other thing would be nice is to name the maps in historycal order, because me and my friend wanted to do the whole desert campaing but unfortunatelly we didn't know all the battles so it would be a plus if you can name it like 1944 dec- 1945 jan. Battle of Bulge. Besides these little things you guys are a miracle in mod making. Very detailed very accurate. Super Job as i said, keep up the good work. :) i only play BF1942 because of your mod. :)
Most of the maps are in historical order already. Being named with the year at the month of the battle in the map name. E.g. 4406-Omaha Day 1.
The only ones that don't follow this convention are the vanilla BF42 maps that have been converted.

Does this have iron sights instead of the zoom thing?
Could you add romanians?
Please think about it only the [MOB] and the =VU= Server have a online 1.8beta Server.
For play you need the last 1.61b Patch.
And after the 5 install parts of Battlegroup 42 1.8beta, you will be need the 60 ~ MB HOTFIX, against the crash.;)
After then it works fine.
OS? Ensure BF42 is fully updated.
