XWW2: Experience WW2 Mod

[BadLizzard]

The folks over at XWW2 have been hard at work creating a WW2 modification for BF2 things are looking good too.

Welcome back to another team XWW2 update! For this news update we are pleased to show two of our modelers work via renders. We have here two small caliber anti tank weapons and a machine gun used by the Allied *LRDG. This same weapon was also used as a defensive gun on board certain RAF bombers and is shown in two setups. Also, we have for you a small update on the Karabiner 98K skin. It seems there was a few of you that were not satisfied with the coloration and someone even compared the former skin's wood coloration to some snack meat! We couldn't have a pepperoni log in our arsenal could we?

tech info for the Ordnance QF 2-pounder:
The Ordnance QF 2-pounder (or simply "2 pounder gun") was a 40 mm British anti-tank and vehicle-mounted gun. As larger and more powerful armoured fighting vehicles appeared with progressively heavier armour protection, the 2 pounder grew less effective. Until mid 1942, the main tank and anti-tank gun used by the British and Canadian armies was the 2-pounder, when it began to be replaced by the 6 pounder gun.
The unusual tripod leg construction gave the gun good stability and a traverse of 360 degrees, allowing it to engage moving vehicles from any approach quickly. The downsides of this design were a very heavy weight (almost twice the weight of the German Pak36) and a high profile, making it difficult to conceal. When the gun was positioned for combat, the legs were emplaced on the ground and the wheels were removed. The gun could also be fired from wheels, though at the expense of limited traverese.
Caliber: 40mm/L50
Weight: 800 kg
Elevation: -13° to +15° on platform; -5° to +23° on wheels
Traverse: 360° on platform; 14° left and 10° right on wheels

Note that the 2 pounder has no high explosive firing capability - such shells existed, but they were never issued to the frontline units. It was felt that the tiny amount of explosive contained in such a relatively small shell would be ineffective.

Technical data for the 3.7cm German Pak36:

The PaK 36 (Panzerabwehrkanone 36) was a German anti-tank gun that fired a 3.7cm calibre shell. It was developed in 1936 by Rheinmetall and first appeared in combat that year during the Spanish Civil War. It was Germany's standard anti-tank gun during the first years of World War II. The PaK 36 began to be replaced by the new 5cm PaK 38 in mid 1940.
The KwK 36 L45 was the same gun but was used as the main armament on several tanks, including the early models of the Panzer III.
The poor performance against heavy enemy armour resulted in the PaK 36 being dubbed the "Door Knocker". The addition of tungsten cored shells added slightly to the armour penetration of the PaK 36. The PaK 36 was often issued to Fallschirmjäger and other light troops. The gun's light weight meant that it could be easily moved by hand, and this mobility made it ideal for their purpose.

Caliber: 37 mm L/45
Rate of fire: 13 rounds per minute
Weight: 400 kg
Max. Effective Range: 600 m
Elevation: 25 degrees.
Depression: 8 degrees.
Traverse: 60 degrees (6 degrees with trails closed)
