Greetings! We 're a group of greek army stuff and huge ww2 enthusiasts! We ve been waiting for your mod like crazy and we re thankfull for all the time and effort you have put into this..as collectors we re at your service if you need any info, measurements or pics on any available item from any side.

Since we re kind of apes when it comes to pc modding, programming and stuff, we used to run playwithsix for arma2 mods but for some of us it wont work for some reason in arma3, so instead we use steam workshop.

Could you please upload your mod in steam workshop so we can join your community too? We cant wait for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We don't have it on the workshop at the moment but we do have a steam group for the mod http://steamcommunity.com/groups/warchronicles

I hope your group finds this somewhat useful

Please stop spamming. The mod makers will updated this topic if and when there's an update, you've been told about that already.

Good news @McAber and thanks for the news letter

The amount of effort you guys have put into this mod is phenomenal. Keep up the good work.

Getting a texture load error for M_41_Mesh_Show_Brown_Leather_nohq.paa even though it is in the pbo.

 

Should these guys look like the ones I've seen in the screenshots a few pages back or are you still working with placeholder textures?

Hey Chas, as greatful as Im sure the rest of the team would be to hear of your offer, Im afraid to say that isnt exactly how map making works for arma terrains.

[chas gate 23]

I understand and thats the kind of stuff i like to try and do. but damn i forgot ww2 only really had airial didint they

 

Well if you need a bug tester or anything to help call me or if you need a guy who know most anything about war (and no i dont own a phone) you can look me up also i have some old ww2 map sources if needed

also will there be stuff like v2s and special wonder waffe

[Karl Sauer 79]

We have not released an update of the mod since the initial release, so yes, they are still placeholders.

They aren't planned, and I find it unlikely that they will be done, especially something like the V2, which does not fit into the scope of Arma3's sizes.

Hey Chas, as greatful as Im sure the rest of the team would be to hear of your offer, Im afraid to say that isnt exactly how map making works for arma terrains.

As for the design of bases, if we were to make one, like the rest of our mod, we would try to recreate them according to original designs, stuff like old blueprints of fortifications, actual battle maps and aerial surveillence taken during the war.

 

For example, this is a map of the Juno landings on d-day. It is so clear that you are able to clearly define buildings and structures alike. 

Once again, greatful for your offer as we may be unfortunentely this is not how terrain modding works :(

I would freaking LOVE to see Juno Beach as a map in arma 3!

The 'wonder weapons' are way beyond our scope of implementation, as only a few actually got out of the prototype stage into use and even then scale-of-issue wise were invisible to the common infantryman. In addition to this, they were vary rarely used in the tactical role as this mod seeks to display. Although V2s were used at the operational level by the Germans against troop concentrations, you can count the number of uses on two hands in one battle, so we're not going to mod one in just for that, or any of that 'secret weapons' bollocks EA seemed to think were available in 1942...

What you'll be getting is boggo standard infantry kits for all sides, and considering that very few 'special' units existed to start with, means there is little to no point in modelling special kit in when the special units used boggo standard kit anyway. The only differences between a paratrooper and a regular infantryman in the British Army, for example, is the headwear and the furniture on some of the small arms, and even then you wouldn't notice the difference unless you know the time period inside out. We'll be including some variation for units, but at the same time, not catering to every individuality, otherwise we'll be modding until the end of time.

 

[zio sam 77]

Can i ask which kind of vehicles are you going to include first?

If I can spend a suggestion I will suggest to do the same kind of vehicles for all the factions. To better explain me it's a bit difficult to arrange TvT matches if a side has not tanks and the other can field pz4,tigers and panthers. I would like to see (to start with) a medium tank for all sides(pz4 ausf g/h ,Sherman 75\76 mm,Cromwell 75mm) same with halftracks,AT guns and so on.i know it's a lot of work and at the end it's up to you what to release first,mine it's only a suggestion for the sake of TvT Matches

[Mozkelby 39]

Great work! One of my new all-time favorites.

The first vehicles to be made are likely going to be basic transport for the factions. (Car and Truck) From there on it will be expanded, when this will take place I cannot say. 

[chas gate 23]

Will we see ju52 and para planes to or are we only getting fighters when they are made. if so what kind of planes can we expect.

[n_icomach 312]

We are focusing on the ground. There is no list for planes yet.

[McAber 55]

As Nico said, we're focusing purely on boggo standard infanteers for our first full and substantive release. No Paras, no Commandos, no Fallscrimjager, no Rangers. Just Tommy, Fritz and Hank, in their basic infantry kit, as hundreds of thousands of them wore for the day to day waging of the Normandy Campaign.

The vehicle list we have has everything from static machine guns up to heavy tanks on it, but we're only working on the infantry's vehicles for the initial release. This means trucks and APCs, Jeeps and Kubelwagens. You may even get a few tow-able anti-tank guns thrown in at some point. Instead of speculating, stay tuned to this thread. We'll keep you updated!

Thanks
Matt

[wildcatbridge 377]
