Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

So, we at dznmods made a V-1 launcher for Battlefield 1942. Here are some pics for shameless self-promo... err... for reference: http://dznmods.tk/images/photoalbum/album_10/launch_t1.jpg http://dznmods.tk/images/photoalbum/album_10/flight_t1.jpg The weapon behaves in a quite realistic manner: it's ...

I think they set it for whatever felt right. Since in the first person view you are not seeing any part o...
