Re: BF1942 Tips & Tricks

Tip 1 on BoB: Go to Axis base and steal their APC to destroy planes taking off, in addition you might spam 1 + 2 to avoid getting killed or spot.
Tip 2: Torpedo dive bombers (SBD-T, AichiVal-T) deal damage to ships depending on the angle you release them at, but you can also release them just as bombs, this will deal damage little more than twin bombs.
Tip 3: Ask an engineer to climb over your heavytank (Tiger, M10, T-34/85) so whenever you get hit he repairs your vehicle.
Tip 4: Bait enemy pilot to kill you, then zook him/her.
Tip 5: Fly high over enemy base and watch your min-map/radar, when grey planes disappear, free-fall a little and kill him/her after leaving runway (though can sometimes be illegal, depending on how much you wait).
Tip 6: On maps where flak/AA guns are positioned in high hills or mountains, fly lower to avoid getting shot at. AA guns have a pretty limited radius of fire.
Tip 7: Press F3 + F6 ("Enemy airplane spotted") when you see enemy planes. This will help your teammates fight or overrun them. Also keep an eye on your radio for this reason.
Tip 8: On certain maps good pilots fly high and try to intercept enemy activity, just fly low so they don't spot you.

Zooking ships. Ships are most vulnerable when youre shooting at their AA guns. added bonus you might get a kill by firing at an AA gunner.

Re: BF1942 Tips & Tricks

Several times I saw people picking up foreign mines from the ground so that vehicles could pass. I tried to raise the mine did not work, when I was even an engineer. How do you raise mines? Do I need to be an engineer, or can anyone?

Kneel down before you try to remove mines!!! Thats the trick.

You should crouch (and not prone) on mines and remove them with the spanner (press 6).

Re: BF1942 Tips & Tricks

Can anyone give some advice for artillery, when snipers use binoculars to call out artillery targets, I know I have to right-click, but from there I'm pretty lost, how do I aim with those yellow lines to hit the target?

Re: BF1942 Tips & Tricks

You see where the shells are landing, after some time you will get it.

You can shoot with the front, switch to the rear, press right click and then you see where Defgun 1 Shells are landing, then you shoot rear etc, etc.

But it's easyer to hit with Priest or Wespe then with Cruizer and the Battleship is really hard to hit something, except you can hold the position to stand still.

Re: BF1942 Tips & Tricks

when you shoot the target camera follows your shells from your artillery to target from the given position

once someone give you a target the middle circle shows your gun angle with the  sniper target if the sniper has given a precise target then you should try to match the mid circle first like below pic ( orange line)
sfgsf.png

then you can shoot at target and try to make shots accurate with degree and yello bar at sides ,the shaded yellow bars shows your previous aim so with help of them and trials and error try to find where to shoot

Re: BF1942 Tips & Tricks

When an admin is in-game, you can tell him to ignore you in console. So that you can do chat spam as much as you like. Then the admins cannot see you writing. So no kicks or bans from the admins.

I'm not sure if it is helpful tip, but on server with bots, some radio and local commands are "greyed out", which means bots will definitely not respond to them smile

Re: BF1942 Tips & Tricks

uploaded a quick video for you, showing an animation glitch when jumping, that most of you probably haven't seen in all your years of bf42, while some players get it every other match. figure out the cause. not a useful trick but a trick nonetheless.

Re: BF1942 Tips & Tricks

The seat of destroyer number 1 will not be able to shoot along the set trajectory of an artillery call from the scout's binoculars, because with the 2 key he drops mines, so change to seat 2 to shoot at the caused artillery strike.

Re: BF1942 Tips & Tricks

I cant go toe to toe and win so I tend to use Stand off Weapons like Sniper Rifles and Artillery (slow computer, lousy ping, old mans Reflexes).
When Sniping, make sure there is something behind you, don't be that odd little bump on the top of the distant ridge at the edge of the fog.
Also try to make every shot a Head shot.  if you're Axis, try to find a Dark Patch of ground to hide on.  don't let your Barrel stick out of the Bush and try not to wave it around much. I enjoy Counter-Sniping most of all, I'll burn the whole game hunting a Sniper.

Artillery has a limited range so I'll get to a safe spot within distance and use the rotating mini map to line the aim with the flag then max elevate the gun and incrementally lower the barrel till I get a kill then punish that area. if there's hills and valleys then do a spot for yourself and you can see if the round drops into a valley or hits a hill. the Blast shows just beyond the fog and will show a terrain outline in front of the blast.

AA is all about the Lead, lots of lead for further targets then reduce till you get the little "Hit X" on your cross hair.

I'm pretty sure people already know this trick but you can drive underwater with the LTV4 Water Buffalo and Schwimmwagen if you shoot them enough so that they are on fire, then repair them. A nice way to troll.

Re: BF1942 Tips & Tricks

Guys, how do some players move much faster in a firefight than me or other players ??? I noticed this in mediocre in renegade (pistol) and in many other players, the most interesting thing is that not everyone moves so fast, is this a cheat or what? Why do I also move slower when pressing the keys (strafe)?

Re: BF1942 Tips & Tricks

every player or soldier moves at the same  speed, no matter if they are engineers, medics, etc.

They might turn faster or slower depending on your mouse adjustments. (sensivity)
