Italian Weapons Mod/Accuracy Mod
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2011 10:29 pm
I was thinking about having an Italian weapons mod for Hidden & Dangerous 2 because the Italians use German weapons in the game when they should be using Italian ones. Most militaries of the period used their own weapons because they were cheaper to issue and produce from their own countries and a matter of national pride of course.
The Italians are armed with a Mauser K98 rifle, Luger P08 pistol for the officers, and MP-40 submachine gun. I propose having the Italian officer in Spaghetti airport armed with a Beretta 1934 9mm pistol, instead of a Luger P08. The Italians also have an MP-40 submachine gun. They were usually armed with a Moschetto Beretta MAB 1938 submachine gun. The Italians were not heavily into submachine guns. The Italian pilot uniform is wrong. Why does the Italian pilot have a Luftwaffe pilot's uniform? Isn't there own air force's uniform not good enough? Uniforms are a source of pride to tell apart your nation from everyone else. They're like a team jersey for your football team to tell apart enemy from friend. I think having a Luftwaffe pilot's uniform for Italians is foolish. Sorry if I'm too opinionated. The Italians usually issued submachine guns to special forces soldiers. The Beretta submachine gun was widely issued to paratroopers during the war and the Italian army generally fought with rifles anyway. Submachine guns were not widely issued among Italian forces during the war, not until 1943 at least. By then, it was too late and Italy had already surrendered.
I know the Italians borrowed heavily from the Germans, but isn't wearing someone else's pilot uniform when you could easily have your own uniform a little ridiculous?

This is what an Italian pilot's uniform looks like.
Why is the jeep in the game is armed with a puny .30 caliber machine gun? SAS jeeps carried a .50 caliber machine gun on top on the jeep in the passenger compartment. I was thinking about having a .50 caliber machine gun on top of the jeep. The .50 caliber was best suited for shooting up airfields because it's heavy bullet easily penetrates material and destroys parked airplanes. I propose replacing the .30 caliber with a more powerful, hard-hitting .50 caliber.
Is it possible to add a Browning .50 caliber machine gun for the jeep. I do not mean to picky here, people.
The Italians also use an MG-42 machine gun. This was not widely used by Italian forces because they usually used their own weapons. The Italians at the airport would probably use a Beretta M-37 heavy machine gun at the position or a Breda Modello 30 light machine gun. Didn't they usually use a Beretta Modello 30 for position type stuff?
The Breda machine gun will be used as a position weapon. The Panzerfaust was never used in North Africa, either.
The Italians used a 20mm anti tank rifle to bust enemy tanks or artillery. I wish to get rid of the Panzerfausts in Spaghetti airport in my mod.
My mod will be broad and encompassing. I will make it so that soldiers can fire the Bren gun in the standing position because it could be fired from the standing position and it's ridiculous that you can't fire it in a certain position. Guns don't care about whether or not you lay down prone or shoot standing up. It really doesn't matter.
The Italians will also use the Carcano 1891 bolt-action rifle for a standard infantry rifle. The Italians will use a gun for rifles and they will use the anti tank rifle located inside the headquarters of the airfield. The Panzer III will be replaced by an M-13/40 Italian tank because that was the standard Italian medium tank of the war. The Italians never used a Panzer III battle tank in service.
Would anyone like to pitch in?
How come there isn't a PIAT anti-tank weapon in the game? The British usually used the PIAT as their standard Anti Tank weapon during the war. They used the bazooka, yes, but normally wouldn't they use a PIAT anti-tank weapon for an anti-tank weapon?
The MG-42 sound sounds kinda dull. The MG 42 makes a distinct ripping sound as it is fired that sounds like a dog ripping away at a piece of meat. MG 42 makes a dull sound in the game.
I propose having an MG-34 for the Norway missions. The MG-42 did not come out until 1942. The 42 in its designation means 1942 the year it entered service. Having a weapon that entered service in 1942 for a mission that takes place in 1941 is anachronistic. The people in 1941 would not know an MG-42 because it hadn't come out yet. People usually don't know about stuff until it comes out because they're not psychic and people can't foresee things.
The game also has a Delisle commando carbine being used in 1941 for the Norway mission. The Delisle carbine did not enter service until 1943.
The MG-34 will be used in the 1941 Norway level. The MG-34 machine gun will be used in the game as a German weapon. I propose using a portable MG-34 and portable MG-42 for use in the game with an option to capture the machine gun during the game. You can remove the gun from a fixed position using the game menu controls. I propose doing that.
Reload animations for machine guns would be nice.
To sum it up, I would like to put in the game a PIAT anti tank weapon, Breda Modello 30 light machine gun, Carcano M 1891 rifle, Beretta M1934 pistol for the Italians, a Moschetto MAB Beretta for some soldiers, and MG-34 machine gun, and Enfield No. 5 Jungle carbine for the Burma campaign, and what I said above.
(The Jungle Carbine Enfield shortened rifle was used in the jungles of Burma for a shorter fielding rifle for jungle campaigns against the Japanese.)
Would anyone like to make an Italian Weapons mod for the game?
If anyone is interested, let me know.
