Forgotten Hope 2 is a modification for Battlefield 2. In the vein of Project Reality, it introduces new weapons, vehicles, factions and settings - in this case, the Second World War - as well as more realistic gameplay. It is the sequel to the 2003 Battlefield: 1942 modification, Forgotten Hope. Like its predecessor, Forgotten Hope 2 focuses on portraying many different battles of World War II as accurately as possible, giving special attention to the scale of the maps, the belligerent units and the weapons they used historically.
The following weapons appear in the video game Forgotten Hope 2:
Sidearms
Colt M1911A1
The Colt M1911A1 is the main sidearm for the US Army faction. It also appears in the hands of the British and Canadian factions, being a standard sidearm for specialised British units, such as the Commandos or the Paratroopers. Unlike in Battlefield 2, where every class is issued a sidearm, only the non-commissioned officers, support gunners, snipers, pilots, commando units, tank crews and anti-tank infantry carry them in Forgotten Hope 2. Each faction is only issued three magazines, or eighteen rounds in the case of the revolvers, and their short range and stopping power makes them only useful in desperate, close quarter situations. The weapon is merely referred to as the Colt M1911 in-game, dropping the A1 designation.
Colt M1917
The Colt version of the M1917 Revolver is carried as a back-up weapon by US Army support gunners. What appears to be a silver M1917 revolver also appears rarely in-game. One of its idle animations has the player character roll the sidearm on his trigger finger, fan the hammer and blow on the barrel in a Wild West-esque way.
Browning Hi-Power
The Browning Hi-Power is mainly used by Canadian anti-tank soldiers, quite possibly standing in for the Inglis Hi-Power. It is rarely found in rear-echelon German pickup kits such as mounted MG and mortar carriers. British commandos in-game used to be issued original P35 Browning Hi-Powers with adjustable sights and detachable stocks resembling Chinese-contract Inglis Hi-Powers, but they were replaced by Colt M1911A1s in the 2.57 update. Nonetheless, these stocked Hi-Powers have found their place in the hands of Finnish pilots in-game, who actually received and put to good use a fair amount of them during the Continuation War in real life.
Webley Mk VI
The Webley Mk VI is the main sidearm for the Commonwealth faction (Great Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) in-game.
Webley & Scott No. 3 Mk I
The Webley & Scott No. 3 Mk I flare pistol is issued to New Zealander LRDG Commandos in Operation Hyacinth. It fires a dull flare on a well-lit map and is of no use against enemy soldiers, making it practically useless except as scenery. It is referred to as the No3 Mk1 Very.
Nagant M1895
The Nagant M1895 is issued to Soviet and Polish non-commissioned officers, tankers and machine gunners with the pick-up DT machine gun. One version with a BraMit suppressor is issued to a commando/partisan pick-up kit with an MP40 and a satchel charge found in the map Studienka.
Tokarev TT-33
The Tokarev TT-33 serves as the main sidearm of the Soviet and Polish factions in-game. It is worth noting that the Polish faction in this game is based on the 1st Tadeusz Kościuszko Infantry Division, who fought on the Eastern Front, was under Soviet command and used Soviet weaponry.
Luger P08
The Luger P08 is extensively used by the Wehrmacht in maps set in the Mediterranean theatre of war. However, by 1943 it becomes largely supplemented by the Walther P38 and is very rarely ever seen.
Walther P38
The Walther P38 is the main sidearm used by the German faction in-game beginning in 1943, the Luger being slightly more common in early war maps.
Sauer 38H
The Sauer 38H is available as a sidearm for the German faction in some maps, especially those featuring the Fallschirmjäger. Historically, the Sauer 38H was developed in Nazi Germany as a competitor for the Luger P08 and Walther P38, although the Sauer was mostly used by police officers whilst the Luger and Walther typically ended up amongst front-line troops. However, the Luftwaffe eventually took over production of the pistol, so it did see widespread use amongst its paratrooper corps.
Leuchtpistole 34
The Leuchtpistole 34 is used by the Italians in Operation Hyacinth. It basically acts as the Axis counterpart to the Webley & Scott flare gun.
Beretta M1934
The Beretta M1934 appears as the sidearm for the Italian faction. It is simply referred to as the Beretta 34 in-game.
Lahti L-35
The Lahti L-35 appears as Finland's service pistol.
Submachine Guns
M1928 Thompson
The M1928 Thompson is used by the Commonwealth factions in Greece, Crete and North Africa. Assault units are issued it with a 50-round drum magazine, whilst non-commissioned officers and other commando pick-up kits use 20-round stick magazines. It can fire in either semi or full-automatic mode. Out of all the submachine guns in the game, the Thompsons have the highest recoil.
M1928A1 Thompson
The M1928A1 Thompson is used by the British military in Tunisia and more rarely in Europe, as well as by the US Army in North Africa. There is also an incredibly rare M1928A1 Thompson kit for the Soviet marines at Motovskiy Bay who, according to official unit documents, had exactly 3 Thompsons at the time the battle took place, August 1942. It fires from both a 30-round stick magazine and a 50-round drum magazine, and in semi or full-automatic.
M1A1 Thompson
The M1A1 Thompson is used by the US and Canadian factions. British NCOs also use it on some Normandy maps. It feeds from a 30-round stick magazine or - very rarely seen - a 20-round stick magazine. Like the M1928, it fires in both semi and full-automatic.
M3 "Grease Gun"
On some maps beginning in July 1944, the M3 "Grease Gun" replaces the M1A1 Thompson as the weapon of choice for the US assault kit.
Sten Mk II
The Sten Mk II is used by the British and Canadian factions in France. Regardless of the faction, all Stens in this game are Canadian-made, as noted by the skeleton stock and the markings on the magazine well.
Sten Mk IIS
The suppressed Sten Mk IIS is used by Royal Marine Commandos in Port-en-Bessin. It can overheat over prolongued periods of fully-automatic fire. Like the unsupressed Sten, it features the typically Canadian skeleton stock and Long Branch markings.
Sten Mk V
The Sten Mk V is used by British paratroopers in Pegasus Bridge. It can be fired in semi or full-automatic.
PPD-34
As of v2.57, the PPD-34 is only used by Soviet marine assault units at Motovskiy Bay. According to official documents of the 12th Naval Infantry Brigade, they were all armed with PPD-34s and PPD-40s in 1942, which is when the skirmish took place in real life. It appears with either a 25-round stick magazine or a 71-round drum magazine.
PPD-40
As of v2.57, the PPD-40 is only used by Soviet marine NCOs at Motovskiy Bay. Alongside the PPD-34, it was the only submachine gun available in their arsenal in 1942. It is always fitted with a 71-round drum magazine.
PPSh-41
The PPSh-41 is the standard submachine gun of the Soviet and Polish factions. It can be fired in semi or fully automatic, and can be used with a 35-round stick magazine or a 71-round drum magazine.
PPS-42
The PPS-42 appears as a secondary submachine gun for the Soviet faction in some Eastern Front maps, mainly used by engineers.
PPS-43
The PPS-43 appears as a secondary submachine gun for the Soviet and Polish factions, mainly used by engineers and anti-tank soldiers.
Steyr MP34
The Steyr MP34 is very rarely used by the Wehrmacht, only by reserve and static units during the Normandy landings, specifically at Gold Beach and Pointe du Hoc.
MP38
The MP38 is used by German assault units in the Mediterranean theatre of war (Greece, Crete and North Africa).
MP40
The MP40 is, rather unsurprisingly, the mainstay submachine gun of the German faction. However, it is much less common in early war maps, being mostly substituted by the MP38.
Beretta M38A
The Beretta M38A is used by the Italian faction, and in a few very rare German pick-up kits in areas such as Normandy or the Eastern Front. In reality, the Germans were known for loving the Beretta M38, and they did use it in combat. The M38/43 was even adopted by the Wehrmacht late in the war. According to the mod's developers, the Beretta M38 in those German kits is supposed to stand in for the M38/43. The real weapon had two triggers - one for semi-auto, one for full-auto -; the model in-game only has one trigger, yet it can still change between firemodes.
Suomi KP/-31
The Suomi KP/-31 is the main submachine gun used by Finland. It has two variants which see roughly equal use - the standard KP/-31, with a 71-round drum magazine and used by most assault units, and the KP/-31 SJR, which features a muzzle brake and a 50-round "coffin" magazine, used by NCOs.
Rifles
M1903A1 Springfield
The M1903A1 Springfield rifle is, as of v2.57, exclusively used by US Army Ranger recon units during the Normandy landings. This is historically accurate - US Rangers are known to have chosen the M1903A1 Springfield over other weapons in their inventory for certain missions.
M1903A3 Springfield
The M1903A3 Springfield is used by the US Army in a variety of roles. It appears as a service rifle in Sidi Bou Zid used by American recon units and engineers alike, but it is relegated to a more secondary role after the Normandy landings - it is part of the American pick-up ammunition kit found in most maps in the game, and a unique grenadier kit with an M1903A3 and two different types of rifle grenades can be picked up in Hürtgen Forest. It can be fitted with an M1905 sword bayonet regardless of the map.
M1903A4 Springfield
The M1903A4 Springfield with a Model 330 Weaver scope is the sniper rifle used by the US Army faction. Unlike in Battlefield 2, where there is a default sniper class, sniper rifles in Forgotten Hope 2 function as "Easter eggs," as they can be only picked up from odd locations in maps, such as the main base or recently captured spawn points.
M1917 Enfield
As of v2.57, the M1917 Enfield can only be found in Sidi Bou Zid as a pick-up weapon, either in an engineer or an ammunition kit. Due to practical and engine reasons, the M1917 Enfield in-game is only reloaded via a 5-round stripper clip, even though it has a 6-round internal magazine.
M1 Garand
Unsurprisingly, the M1 Garand makes an appearance as the main service rifle of the US Army faction. Depending on the map it can be fitted with an M1905 sword bayonet or an M1 bayonet and, on most if not all maps, an M7 rifle grenade launcher.
M1 carbine
The M1 carbine is primarily used by US Army engineers, NCOs and mortar and MG carriers. It is modelled with the buttstock twin magazine pouch. It is referred to as the .30Cal M1 Carbine.
M1A1 carbine
The M1A1 carbine appears in maps featuring the 101st Airborne Division. It is referred to as the .30Cal M1A1 Carbine.
Pattern 1914 Enfield No. 3 Mk I* (T)
The earliest model of the M1917 Enfield, the Pattern 1914 Enfield, fitted with an Aldis 1918 scope, appears as the Commonwealth's sniper rifle for maps set in Greece, Crete and North Africa. Captured examples are also used by the Italians as their main sniper rifle.
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III*
The Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III* is the main weapon of Commonwealth forces in Greece, Crete and North Africa. It can be fitted with a Pattern 1907 bayonet and a cup grenade discharger on all maps. It is easily distinguished from the No. 4 Mk I by its stubbier shape, shorter muzzle, and tangent rear sight.
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I
British and Canadian forces fighting in France use the Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I. It can be fitted with a spike bayonet and, on most maps, the SMLE's proprietary cup grenade launcher. In contrast to the No. 1 Mk III*, it has an aperture rear sight.
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I (T)
The Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I (T) is used as a sniper rifle by British and Canadian forces in France.
Boys Mk I
Commonwealth soldiers in Greece, Crete and North Africa use the Boys Mk I anti-tank rifle as their primary anti-tank weapon, which must be deployed to fire.
Mosin-Nagant M91/30
The Mosin-Nagant M91/30 is the main weapon of the Soviet and Polish factions in-game. It can be fitted with a bayonet. A unique variant equipped with a BraMit suppressor part of a "partisan" kit can be picked up in Studienka.
Mosin-Nagant M91/30 with PU scope
The scoped Mosin-Nagant M91/30 serves as the Soviet, Polish and Finnish factions' sniper rifle, fitted with a PU scope. A unique variant equipped with a BraMit suppressor can be picked up at Motovskiy Bay.
Mosin-Nagant M38
The Mosin-Nagant M38 carbine appears as a secondary weapon for the Soviets, especially used by engineers and NCOs. It is the main rifle used by the Soviet cavalry division featured in the map Studienka. Unlike its full-size variant, it cannot be fitted with a bayonet.
Mosin-Nagant M44
The Mosin-Nagant M44 carbine appears as a main weapon for Soviet engineers and NCOs in Seelow Heights. It has a usable side-folding bayonet.
Tokarev SVT-40
The Tokarev SVT-40 appears as the Soviet and Polish factions' main semi-automatic rifle. Its real-life evolution is properly depicted in-game - in 1942 it appears as a spawnable and unlimited weapon for everyone, by 1943 it becomes a limited weapon, and by 1944 it can only be found as an "Easter egg" pick-up weapon. Interestingly, the Germans at Motovskiy Bay can use the SVT-40 - the Wehrmacht did issue a large quantity of SVT-40s before they developed their own domestic semi-automatic rifles.
Tokarev SVT-40 with PU scope
The SVT-40 with a PU scope can be found as an "Easter egg" pick-up sniper kit for the Soviets and Poles.
Tokarev AVT-40
The fully-automatic AVT-40 is mostly found as a pick-up weapon for the Soviets. Interestingly enough, Polish NCOs can opt to spawn with it directly in the Lenino map. The weapon can actually overheat and it has a very long cooldown timeout, so as to simulate the real weapon's frequent jams. Like its semi-automatic variant, it can be fitted with a bayonet.
PTRD-41
The PTRD-41 anti-tank rifle appears as a pickup kit for the Soviet and Polish factions. It is a single-shot rifle that needs to be deployed to fire.
PTRS-41
The PTRS-41 is another pickup anti-tank rifle used by the Soviets, but rarer than the PTRD-41. It also needs to be deployed to fire.
Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k is the main weapon of the Wehrmacht faction in-game. It can be fitted with an S84/98 III bayonet and, on most maps, a rifle grenade launcher. An interesting difference in models from maps set in North Africa and post-D-Day Europe is the iron sights - the former models feature pre-war unhooded front sights, whilst the latter ones have wartime hooded front sights, making them more accurate.
Karabiner 98k with ZF41
The Karabiner 98k can be rarely found fitted with a Zeiss ZF41 1.5x scope, mostly as a pick-up kit in maps set after Operation Overlord is over. For some odd reason, a bayonet cannot be fitted onto this specific variant.
Karabiner 98k with "dow" scope
Oddly, the sniper variants of the Karabiner 98k in-game are not equipped with Zeiss ZF39 or ZF42 scopes - but rather, "dow" centre-focus scopes. "dow" was the Nazi manufacturing code for the Czech Optikotechna factory, where the scope portrayed in-game was manufactured. Furthermore, the particular way the scope is mounted onto the rifle is known as a "Long Side Rail," which didn't become all that common until late 1944. Therefore, this specific sniper rifle is seen in an anachronistic setting most of the time.
Gewehr 33/40
The Gewehr 33/40 appears in Mediterranean theatre maps featuring the Gebirgsjäger (German mountain troops). In real life, the Gewehr 33/40 was based on the Czech vz. 33. During the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, production of these carbines continued until 1942, and they were issued to German soldiers operating in harsh mountainous terrain. Production of the Gewehr 33/40 was ceased in 1942 and converted to produce standard-issue Karabiner 98k rifles.
Steyr VK-98
The VK-98 (VK standing for Volkssturmkarabiner) appears as an "Easter egg" kit in the Seelow Heights map: the weapon in-game is single shot. In real life, the VK-98 (aka VG-5) was a "last-ditch" rifle produced by Steyr for German militia use, early versions from surplus Kar 98 parts with later guns using simplified and crudely-made components. Most known examples do have a functioning magazine, either a normal Kar 98 receiver or later a "blind" magazine without an external floorplate. The idea the VK-98 was single-shot is described by various sources such as modernfirearms.net and Small Arms of the World by W.H.B. Smith, and appears to be based on generalising the traits of the VK-98 from uncommon examples that had no magazine.
Gewehr 41(W)
The successful Walther version of the Gewehr 41 appears in the game as a relatively uncommon weapon for German riflemen in the European theatre of war, especially prior to the adoption of the Gewehr 43. Depending on the map, it can be either spawnable or a pick-up kit.
Gewehr 43
The Gewehr 43 makes an appearance in maps set post-1943. It is normally issued to NCOs, riflemen and recon units.
Gewehr 43 with ZF4
The Gewehr 43 can be found with a ZF4 scope as a pick-up sniper kit for the Germans.
FG 42
The late-pattern FG 42 is used by the German Fallschirmjäger in the Purple Heart Lane and Saint-Lô maps, and also appears as an "Easter egg" on other maps. It can be deployed and fired at both semi and full automatic, but the game does not make a distinction between closed bolt (for semi-auto) and open bolt (for full-auto). As can be expected, it has a tremendous amount of horizontal recoil.
FG 42 with ZFG42
The scoped FG 42 is found as a rare pick-up kit in both Purple Heart Lane and Saint-Lô.
Sturmgewehr 44
The Sturmgewehr 44 first appears as an "Easter egg" weapon in maps set in post D-Day France. Beginning in July 1944 and especially in maps set during the Battle of the Bulge, the StG 44 appears as a spawnable weapon for the German faction, and in Seelow Heights it can be used without a limit. It can be fired in both semi and full-automatic.
Sturmgewehr 44 with ZF4
The scoped StG 44 is one of the rarest weapons in the game, only found in one map at a barely conspicuous location - on the top floor of a windmill in Villers-Bocage. It is part of a pick-up commando kit that includes a pistol and an explosive charge.
Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr
The Volkssturmgewehr 1-5 appears as a pickup kit for the Germans in the Seelow Heights map. In reality, the VG 1-5 was designed for the Volkssturm and actually used during the defense of Germany from Allied forces.
Panzerbüchse 39
The Panzerbüchse 39 is used by German soldiers in Greece, Crete and North Africa. It must be deployed to fire.
Carcano M91
The Carcano M91 is the main rifle for Italian riflemen. It can be fitted with a bayonet.
Carcano M91/38
The Carcano M91/38 is also issued to the Italian faction, used by recon units, engineers and NCOs. Like the Carcano 91, it can be fitted with a bayonet.
Mosin-Nagant M/39 "Ukko-Pekka"
The M/39 "Ukko-Pekka" is the service rifle of the Finnish faction. Since the Finnish maps are set in mid-1944, the M/39 had already been established as Finland's only service rifle by then.
Shotguns
M30 Luftwaffe Drilling
The M30 Luftwaffe Drilling appears as an "easter egg" weapon with the Germans, firing two 12 gauge rounds and one extremely powerful 9.3mm shot.
Winchester Model 1912 "Trench Gun"
The Winchester Model 1912 "Trench Gun" is the US Army standard issue shotgun, usually given to the Anti-Tank class and a common "easter egg" kit.
Machine Guns
M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle
The M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle is the main weapon for the U.S. Faction Support Class. It can be fired from the hip, but a deployable bipod can also be used for more stabilized firing and accuracy. The player has to be prone to use the bipod. Amusingly, in the map Ramelle-Neuville, a reference to the climatic battle of Saving Private Ryan, the B.A.R used by PFC Reiben (Edward Burns) in the film has been modeled for the game, with the bipod removed and the ability to fire at both the default 450 rpm and the increased 600 rpm used by Reiben in the film.
Browning M1919A6
The Browning M1919A6 is used by the 101st Airborne Faction in Belgium. It has to be deployed to fire. It can also be found in stationary machine gun nests.
Bren Mk1
The Bren Mk1 is the main weapon for the Commonwealth support gunner class in the maps set in areas such as North Africa. It can be deployed on a bipod for more stable fire and accuracy, and fired at semi or full automatic. It can also be used in a tripod anti-aircraft stand, and is mounted on the Daimler Dingo Mk 1 and the Universal Carrier.
Bren Mk2
The Bren Mk2 appears for the Commonwealth support gunner class in maps set after the Invasion of Normandy, and is commonly mounted on vehicles such as the Dingo and Universal Carrier.
Lewis Gun
A portable version of the Lewis Gun, which has to be deployed in the prone position to be fired, is used by the Commonwealth in the very early game, especially by the LRDG as well as the British on the Keren map and is a common "easter egg" kit later on. It is also mounted in machine gun nests and bunkers and on Chevy 30WCT jeeps alongside the Vickers Mk1, and in the hull of LCA (Landing Craft, Assault) transports. The aircraft Lewis Gun is mounted in the tailgunner seat of the Hawker Hardy light bomber.
Degtyaryov DP-28
The Degtyaryov DP-28 is the main weapon of the Soviet and Finnish machine gunner classes. It can be fired from the hip or from a deployed position for more stability, and in semi-auto or full-auto.
Degtyaryov DT
The Degtyaryov DT appears as an "easter egg" machine gun for the Soviet and Finnish factions. It can be fired from the hip or from a deployed position, and in semi or fully automatic. It is also mounted on Soviet and Finnish vehicles.
ZB26 Machine Gun
The ZB26 Machine Gun is carried by German soldiers in several Normandy maps. This is historically accurate, as the Wehrmacht was so impressed by the Czech machine gun they adopted it under the designation of MG26(t). It fires in either semi or full-automatic and can be deployed on a bipod.
MG34
The MG34 is carried by German Machine Gunners in the North African, Greece and Crete maps. Afterwards, it can be used mounted on the Lafette tripod with a 1.5x optical sight and in machine gun nests and bunkers. The Lafette is both in fixed positions and can be picked up as a deployable "easter egg". The MG34 is mounted on the front of the Sd.Kfz. 250/3 halftrack and the front and back of the SdKfz 251/1 Ausf. C "Hanomag" halftrack, and coaxially on the SdKfz 222 armored car. The MG34 is also pintle-mounted on the SdKfz 231 armored car and the Panzer II Ausf. C and Ausf. F, Panzer III Ausf. J (early), Ausf. J (late), Ausf. L and Ausf. N, Panzer IV Ausf. F, Ausf. F2 and Ausf. H, Panther Ausf. A and Ausf. G and Tiger Ausf. E (early), Ausf. E (late) and Tiger II Ausf. B tanks and the Jagdpanther V and and on the turret of the Jagdpanzer 38(t), StuG 40 Ausf. G (early) and Ausf. G (late) and Stug IV assault guns.
MG42
The MG42 is used by German soldiers in France and Belgium. It has to be deployed to fire. It can be seen mounted in machine gun nests and bunkers, on the Lafette tripod with a 1.5x optical sight, and on the front and back of the SdKfz 251/1 Ausf. D "Hanomag" halftrack, in the turret of the SdKfz 234/2 "Puma" armored car and on the turret of the Panther Ausf. A and Ausf. G tanks. The Lafette is both in fixed positions and can be picked up as a deployable "easter egg".
Breda Modello 30
The Breda Modello 30 is carried by Italian Machine Gunners. It has to be deployed to fire, and can operate in semi or full automatic: this is incorrect, the real gun is auto only.
Lahti-Saloranta M/26
The Lahti-Saloranta M/26 is found as an "easter egg" weapon for the Finnish faction. It can be fired from the hip or from a deployed position, and can operate in semi or fully automatic.
Emplaced Machine Guns
Browning M1917
The Browning M1917 can be used by US forces as an "easter egg", deployed by throwing down the portable tripod. It is mounted on the Willys MB Jeep, the M3A1 Scout Car, the M3A1 Halftrack and the turret of the M3A1 Stuart.
Browning M1919A4
The Browning M1919A4 can be picked up from US bases and depots as an "easter egg". It is deployed by throwing down the portable tripod, which sets up the gun in prone position on an M2 tripod. The M1919A4 is also mounted the turret of the M3 Stuart II, and M5A1 Stuart light tanks, and pintle-mounted in the the turret of the M3 Grant Mk 1 and M3 Lee, the hull of the Stuart "Recce" and the M8 Greyhound Armored Car, and coaxially on the M3A1 Stuart, M24 Chafee, the M4A1/M4A3 Sherman and the M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo, as well as the British M3 Stuart II, Sherman II, Sherman V and Sherman VC "Firefly".
Browning M2HB
The Browning M2HB is turret-mounted on the Willys MB Jeep, Stuart "Recce", M3A1 and M5A1 Halftrack, M8 Greyhound, Sherman V, the M4A3, M4A3(76)W, M4A3(105) Shermans, the M4A3E2(75) and M4A3E2(76) Sherman Jumbo tanks and the Archilles IIC, M10, M18 Hellcat and M36 Jackson tank destroyers. The M51 Quad Mounted System is also mounted at US bases and on the M16 MGMC (a Halftrack fitted with the M51). The maps set during the Tunisian campaign feature the M33 dual-50 anti-aircraft mount and the M13 MGMC (a Halftrack fitted with a M33). Several maps feature the M2HB on a stand in defensive positions.
Browning M2 Aircraft
The Browning M2 Aircraft is mounted on the Curtiss P-40E "Kittyhawk", the North American P51D "Mustang" and the Republic P47D "Thunderbolt", and the Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX.
Besa Machine Gun
The Besa Machine Gun is pintle-mounted on the Cruiser Mk IVA, Matilda Mk II, Valentine Mk II, Churchill Mk IV, Crusader Mk I and III and Cromwell IV tanks.
Browning Mk II
The Browning Mk II, the British copy of the AN/M2, is mounted on the Hawker Hurricane Mk I and Mk II D, the Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vb and the Bristol Type 156 Beaufighter Mk. IC.
Hispano-Suiza HS.404
The Hispano-Suiza HS.404 is mounted on the Hawker Hurricane Mk I and Mk II C, the Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vb and Mk IX, the Bristol Type 156 Beaufighter Mk. IC and the Hawker Typhoon Mk I B.
Vickers Mk1
The Vickers Mk1 is used by Commonwealth forces in-game. It can be picked up and deployed into a stationary weapon via tripod, found mounted in machine gun nests or on Chevy 30WCT jeeps and the Universal Carrier.
Vickers .50 Machine Gun
The Vickers .50 Machine Gun is mounted on the Vickers Light Tank Mk VI B.
Vickers K
The Vickers K can be seen dual-mounted on Willys MB jeeps used by the LRDG (Long Range Desert Group) in North Africa.
MG FF Cannon
