Enigma85 2 Posted April 27, 2011 Here it is interesting to me if you of fashions is about war in Europe from 1939 for 1945 means at you in a fashion there should be "a War for Britain"! It so? I think you mean this, I'm not judging your English as it's obviously not your first language. Just making sure im answering the right sort of question. It interests me that your are making a mod about the war in Europe from 1939 to 1945,Does this mean that there will be a Battle of Britain Scenario? Well yes & no in all fairness. The mods map covers the southern part of England and the Normandy area of France. The mod teams next release is focused more on the time frame of 1944, More importantly the invasion of France (operation overlord). But most of the content for a battle of Britain scenario should be included either in this release or patched in soon after. (He-111, BF109, JU-87 Stuka, Spitfire & the Hurricane. As well as AA guns) Also included in the map are many airfields on mainland Britain, So your fighters can scramble to meet the bombers targeting the city or production centers to the cities. Hopefully I've answered your question :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevedrumsdw 10 Posted April 27, 2011 Are you guys planning on doing a map for the Ardenne? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma85 2 Posted April 27, 2011 We plan on finishing the Normandy phase first :D With this coming release will lay the grounding for the majority of the Normandy phase. With a one (maybe two) patches added after to expand the content offered + some missions and maybe a campaign. After this the Normandy section will be done and we will move onto our next phase which will be Market Garden and after that will be the Ardennes/Battle of the Bulge. After that i don't have a clue :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomolyons 23 Posted April 27, 2011 This mod is looking awesome. is the normandy map looking detalied? seeing as theres alot of ground to cover i was just wondering if it will be detailed in the next release Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Airborne units are looking great as well! This is the most anticpated mod that I have looked forward to in 20 plus years of gaming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma85 2 Posted April 27, 2011 This mod is looking awesome. is the normandy map looking detalied? seeing as theres alot of ground to cover i was just wondering if it will be detailed in the next release Yes the Normandy map is a lot more detailed this time around. The last release was only a beta to give players something to play with. This is great news, you guys are on top of it. I have always loved Brothers's in Arms Hell's Highway for the 360, but that game has so many limitations. The Airborne units are looking great as well! This is the most anticpated mod that I have looked forward to in 20 plus years of gaming! Hell's highway is a great game but as you say slightly limited. We hope to be able to break apart the limitations that this game engine has regarding the time frame and give something truely special to the community.

chiefredcloud 10 Posted April 27, 2011 I'll ask you fine folks who are developing the Normandy Mod the same question I asked over on the Invasion 1944 Mod. 1) How is the Normandy Mod different from other WW 2 Mods (such as Invasion 1944)? 2) Why not combine everyones effort on other teams to develop your WW 2 theme for ArmA 2?

Well... you may already know the answer... this has been dicussed over and over but did not lead to any result. And meanwhile combining the mods may also mean to drop the work of someone or having the same Models( tanks etc.) twice. It´s a pity but ( from my own experience) obviuosly modteams are more likely to split up than to join... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma85 2 Posted April 27, 2011 coool mate! sorry to ask but will the release be soon? like next month or? Well to be honest we are working toward release now. But i can't guarantee a date. The old adage of when it's done applies. Just rest well in the knowledge that this time we're polishing up it real nice ;) I'll ask you fine folks who are developing the Normandy Mod the same question I asked over on the Invasion 1944 Mod.1) How is the Normandy Mod different from other WW 2 Mods (such as Invasion 1944)? The Normandy mod is different in many ways. That biggest we concentrate more on the scale of the war. With our huge map we allow the player to experience all aspects of the war. Flying bombing missions over enemy territory, Intercepting enemy bandits over your home airfield, Captaining a warship at sea, Gunning from a tiger tank, Or taking the next town as the infantry. Basically we have the Air,Land,Sea And foot war, All in the players hand. And all in one massive playing area. Where do you want to land today? Omaha? fine! Utah yep! Sword? OK! Juno? You got it! Gold? away you go! So basically if you want Paratroopers,Infantry,Gilders,tanks,aircraft,ships & god knows what else. On a 156,000 sq KM map. Well.... You know where to come :D 2) Why not combine everyones effort on other teams to develop your WW 2 theme for ArmA 2? Been there tried in the past. And in the end it causes more problems than it's worth. We work well in our team and others work well in theirs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
