  • Latest BattleGroup42 Mod Released - BattleGroup42 Pre-Beta

    The BattleGroup42 Mod 0.5 Pre-Beta is now available for download. Hunt through the vehicle pages and you'll find the latest additions creeping in gradually as they're spotted on the frontlines.

    Yes the BattleGroup42 Mod is now a pre-beta. You can expect our usual focus on great teamplay combined with ever improving historical accuracy. For the first time we have heavy tanks in the game, the German King Tiger is on the prowl with its Panther stablemate. Can the Allies hold out with their Jumbo Sherman and tank destroyers?
    Another first for BattleGroup42 is fixed artillery. The German sIG33 is a 150mm howitzer just waiting to shell the enemy into oblivion while the M2A1 105mm Light Howitzer sends it's shells hurtling back in defiance!
    Further additions to the opposing arsenels are the Crusader I cruiser tank, a brace of Panzer IV's (F2 and H) and the dangerous low-profile shape of the Jagdpanzer IV.
    That's not all either, both sides have new fully mobile self-propelled artillery pieces and the means to use them! Keep an eye on the horizon for enemy light tanks, both Panzer II and Stuart I commanders will be spotting for their artillery, better watch out!

    Our goals remain great teamplay combined with historical accuracy. BattleGroup42 0.5 Pre-Beta extends it one step further.
