Thanks for the info Günter, then this is a very big issue, warfare like the one in Normandy and eventually Vietnam would suffer so much from this, this really ruin the experience and the only possible tactic is to try attract the enemy on roads where you can fight in a more fair and clear way.

Edit:

ok I made a post in that thread

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?183844-So-AI-can-still-see-through-completely-obscuring-grass-and-shoot-at-the-player/page14

we should all go there and write something and hope to attract devs attention, finger crossed to see this issue fixed

Edit 1:

Is there a ticket we can vote in the feedbacktracker ?

I can tell what I did to install that MOD:

1. Install A3 , A2CO or A2 + A2OA (that what I have);

2. Install Iron Front (I do have Iron Front SA + DLC);

3. Intstall Playwithsix and show where your games are installed.

4. Register an account in Playwithsix

5. Install mods: IF3SA, IFA3, Iront Front - Arma 3 (it can take a long time to do so), after that you should have mods installed in your A3 folder: @LIB_DLC_1;@if_other_addons;@IF;@CBA_A3;@pws_enablea2oacontentina3;@ifa3sa;@ifa3m;@ifa3" . It is total 10GB

6. Open playwithsix and find collections.

7. Find a collection: Iron front

8. Choose collection you need and subscribe (I've chosed: IFA3+IFA3SA)

9. Launch your collection.

I made it 3 Times (my computer, friend computer and my dad's computer) It works.

Because you can download and play it?

There is a bit annoying problem with the D-Day DLC guys, I think this is dated back to the original Iron Front and is not a new bug.

Basically you have very low visibility, which being it Normandy is ok, but look like AI can see too well through concealment.

I think the main problem is them being able to see though the tall grass, the Hedgerows seems more ok.

I know Arma3 tried to track this problem and it worked a bit but being IF from A2, maybe there is a LOS problem with the tall grass model ? I don't know, not an expert but this is the feedback I had from the players that tried my 2 missions in Normandy.

cheers

I think you are right about this mate, but only if the AI are prone. On the other hand, I did notice that the AI find it very hard to spot you, if they are standing up in the long grass and you are prone and moving towards them slowly in the long grass. This may help if you need to move up closer, for a more stealthy kill

Thanks for the suggestion, I will do.

Still I hope they will improve how AI spot you in long grass

Unfortunately it seems the publisher, BI and the A3 team are not able or willing to come to an agreement

Hey guys, I have a few questions on what is planned for the mod, what can be expected to come.

First off, I own the Iron Front retail version (which came with loads of awesome stuff :D ) but that can unfortunatly not be activated on steam. So I am currently thinking about buying the game + DLC again on steam to play it on the Arma 3 engine a bit. But I have to consider if it is worth it, so here my three main questions:

1. And by far the most important: Will we get the original voices/languages back some day?

2. Are UI changes planned (the A3 design kind of doesn't fit into the WW2 setting. Also there are things like the FAK that has the same icon as in A3).

3. Can we expect the map lighting to be "fixed"? Its just too bright right now. Clear weather + morning time = Sun like a supernova and my screen hurting my eyes. I know some temporary solutions like colorcorrection for this, but that is no long term option.

Apart from that, the Conversion already works like a charm, big thumbs up and thanks for your effort.

Hi Dar,

Not for me to answer your questions. But, regarding your last one. I hardly ever play in clear weather conditions because it's too bright. So I run it mostly in cloudy or in the rain.

Check out my steam screenshot and you will see what I mean.

Hi all,

I have ported Xeno Domination missions to this Iron Front mod. It is US vs Germany - AI Ranked version. If someone wants to join the server I host it every evening 5-10pm. You need only A3 + Iron front mod. Server name: Arma 3 domi

regards

[mr pedersen 41]

when I search for Iron Front A3 Servers in PlayWith six or even just the ingame Browser I never find any one.

My suggestion would be to have a Iron Front A3 server that show up in Playwith Six and the Ingame Browser. Maby Also name it somthing with Iron Front or anything that has to do with World War 2 to make it really easy for any Public players to find it.

I do hope you have approval from Xeno or used only mission which allowed it in license

NO! Dont port it, take it down, I already got shit for hosting the Russian Hard Mode Domination version on the MR,

I had no idea it was Xeno's version until, Dirty Haz told me about it and talked to Xeno and Xeno said no that was 2 months ago,

he dont want any of his stuff ported, suggest you take it down, unless he gives you direct permission.

It is the old one version of domi NOT NEW ONE (as per workshop).

1. I do not get it what that shit you got is about.

2. As far I know Xeno has forbidden some time ago to port domination to A3 but he made A3 version of it. It removes his "NO TO A3"

3. I have never found any word about "not porting" to different map.

4. Since we have Iron Front mod in A3 - It is A3. So I did not break any Xeno policy.
