Historically accurate equipment displays the benefits and failings of their real counterparts. Features such as multi-role APCs and improved infantry classes promote team play by making it easier and more beneficial for players to work together. A comprehensively revised damage system allows for a much greater depth of feel without being draconian, one-hit kills are the exception not the rule.
We have gone to great lengths to produce game play that is both balanced and enjoyable. Attention to detail has also become a key aspect of the mod with high quality textures, sounds and models all carefully researched and developed. The result is a mod with approximately 150 tanks, trucks and cars; more than 80 aircraft, over 80 small-arms and over 190 unique maps. These are increasing with each release and represent 13 nations: Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy (+ post armistice Italy (1943-45), Japan, The Netherlands, Russia, France (1940), Vichy France and Free French (1940-45), The United Kingdom and The United States.
More information can be found on our website, our forum, and Encyclopedia (wiki).
This is also the place to ask any further questions you may have about the mod.

The BattleGroup42 Final - Server installer. Only necessary if one intended to make a dedicated server.
the mod is cool but lacks more hand weapons for example the mosing nagant the arisaka type 99 and also the arisaka carbine
I'm sorry for my English I hope you understand me
There's already had Mosin-Nagant (M91/30) and Type 99 rifle Arisaka as standard issued bolt-action rifles for both Soviet and Japanese riflemen from the mod.
Also, there are no more additions to the mod (I was getting "nuked" a few months ago... :X ) and more focusing on bug-fixing and some changes, specifically reworking the damage system.
Plz give the bolt action rifles their power back, they feel weak now.
Are servers dead? i've seen only one, but its empty
There's one available though, but it host both BG42 and EoD so your chances to play online for BG42 may vary...

Just vote a bg42(rc4 with patch1) map from the server maplist. Mapvote is enabled. Coop only, so play on blue. Oh and be nice :)
OR, try the other bg42 servers out there(there are 3 more now I think; don't know if patched or not).
Happy gaming!
are there going to be increasing damage for all bolt action rifle because it took me 2 shots to kill bot with it and m1 carbine accuracy are very bad.
have bots?
Just download the mod, install it and see for yourself! ;)
Is there some kind of vehicle lock?
I tried to change the mustang on Bocage map to the one with rockets, it ctd'd twice then revert my changes to default settings.
I use winrfa on RC3
I can change vehicle settings on objects.rfa but seem unable to change objectspawntemplates on the map.rfa itself.
All you need to do is alter "ObjectSpawnTemplates.con" inside either Conquest or Coop (if you want to play that map with AI/bots) sub-folder inside the "mapname".rfa, but i'd recommend to extract that file and create a patch by adding "mapname"_001.rfa for example to preserve the original map file.
like i said, changed a flak 38 to a flak 36aa/at, the game crashed twice and reverted to flak 38
The proper names of those static weapons in BG42 was "2cmFlak38" and "Flak36" (without quotes), also restore the unmodified objects.rfa in Archives folder since you modified it as you said before, and it was the main cause why you experiencing CTD everytime you loading a map.
Always make a backup file if you want to edit something!
Thanks dude, i'll try it next time/
