Lastly we have the Panzer II Ausf. F, a handy little tank that could hold its own against other tanks of its class.

[nusaiba meghla]

The Panzer II was designed to be a successor to the Panzer I, to give troops a better tank to train with until what became the Panzer III and IV were to be available. As usual for German vehicles however, it ended up serving far longer than was intended, and it suffered accordingly, especially on the brutal Eastern front. Intended as light recon tanks, they often had to assume the role of light combat tanks. The Ausf F appeared in 1940 and had more armor than early, pre-war versions - a result of combat experience. It was still armed with only a 20mm main cannon, but used high velocity armor-piercing ammunition.
That’s it until next time. We are still looking for skinners and mappers, so if you are interested contact us on the new forums at .

Russian Houses | Grenades! | The SdKfz222...Not your Daddy's VW Bug! | Modders Wanted
Welcome to another Battlegroup2 update, this time we have something for just about everyone.
Russian Houses
Starting off, we have the village house made by Geronimo|Ger which telegram number list has plenty of windows to fire from. These small village houses were typical for Russia and you can expect to some variation with different skins for some nice villages.
Grenades!
Up next, we have the RGD-33. It is useful for those stubborn enemies that just won't come out of that building.
The Soviet RGD-33 is an anti-personnel fragmentation grenade designed in 1933 by Diakonov and upgraded by Degtyarev. It replaced the Model 1914 stick grenade of WWI and is constructed from sheet metal.

The fuse, handle, and head were packaged and transported separately and once assembled, the grenades were carried in a canvas pouch with the fuses placed in a pocket, each wrapped in paper or cloth. The fuse was only inserted before use and in order to arm the grenade, a complex series of procedures were performed followed by a quick throwing motion, without which the firing pin could not strike the fuse. The grenade featured a removable fragmentation sleeve that could be detached for use in an offensive role, or left on if the user was well protected for greater damage and shrapnel. Due to the complexity of the mechanism and precise parts needed, the grenade was not well suited for mass production and was difficult to use.

Also with RGD-33 is it's anti-tank counterpart, the RPG-43. This will come in handy to get rid of those nasty Panzers.
