Yurichenco 107 Posted April 30, 2018 I have a request, in one of the past verifications (I think it was v.24) a function was added to the fixed MG-42 machine guns that made them spray all their ammunition in a single burst. Later this function was eliminated (to my displeasure) because the way of firing the fixed machine guns is the least annoying, not to mention that I can not recreate a good fire of supreción like the one of said machine guns in day D without seeing me in need of search complex script or external functions. Would it be possible to add this function again as a module so that those who wish to activate or deactivate it use it? PS: If you are ready to add one more maps, could you suggest the city of Carentan? Or some with a variety of villages and open countryside for missions of conquest and liberation?

.kju 3244 Posted May 4, 2018 Preview v29 is out Download http://ww2ina3.com/wiki/index.php?title=WW2_Download Changelog http://ww2ina3.com/wiki/index.php?title=WW2_Changelog http://ww2ina3.com/wiki/index.php?title=WW2_Changelog:_Preview_v29_-_2018-05-04 http://ww2ina3.com/wiki/index.php?title=I44_Changelog#Preview_v29_-_2018-05-04 A small maintenance update to fix quickly some issues missing in the last update: Highlights Improved driving behavior of most tanks thanks to El Tyranos and advice by Reyhard! Note: IS-2, I44 tanks/most US tanks, M3 Halftrack and SdKfz 7 will follow shortly! Vehicles dampers will now react to their main gun recoil. Makes autocannon much more difficult to aim and tank rounds impact to spot without tank commander. Tweaked fuel capacity of all vehicles. Now it's calculated as "avg. time before out of fuel (minutes) = [autonomy(km)/max speed(km/h)]/60". E.g.: Tiger tank will be empty after ~4.5 hours instead of 36.5 hours. Reverted terrain lighting for IF and I44 Winter terrains. Fixed all shadow glitches with several tanks.

El Tyranos 1264 Posted May 8, 2018 Iron Front in ArmA 3 2 year anniversary devblog Find all the images in HD in this album. For more convenient reading, use the PDF version. 1. Retrospective, community involvement and future plans Since May 2016 you have seen 29 updates by our team - among them 11 major thematic expansions. This translates into a little more than one per month for the last two years. The result is Iron Front assets for the most part up to ArmA standards, parts of Invasion 44 ported over as well as a good bunch of new content made in your hands! New weapons added in 2017 These new assets consists of 16 weapons and 15 vehicles, a complete remake of United States faction, 7 new terrains and a set of SP missions. In addition some improved gameplay features provided to us by their kind authors such as manual bolting, static line airborne jump, glider towing, smarter tanks. New vehicles added in 2017 All this would not have been possible without the extensive and dedicated investment of many people - supported by a strong WW2 community! As such after some considerations we have set out the goal in the light of the 2 year anniversary to give you, WW2 fans and content creators, the chance and ability to become even more closely involved with the development. This means that from now on our development channels on our discord will become public for everyone to follow closely the development process and discussions. In addition other content creators, as well as respected community members and fans respected for their past and future useful input and good manners can communicate and collaborate directly with the dev team. You are most welcome to apply too (PM kju). Next on we are to establish soon a dev branch bringing everyone the latest development version very similar to the concept BI has employed with Arma 3. This means automated updates with fixes, tweaks and additions made by the team. New projects, missions and terrains will be staged as soon as they are ready for public consumption to allow for early testing and sharing your thoughts and feedback with the team and everyone else. In combination the feedback process will be made more accessible with discord acting as first, entry level - still with guidelines to ensure meaningful reports the devs can work with to bring the fixes and improvement back to you as soon as possible. For now Phabricator will remain the place to gather reports in the end to avoid duplication, allow a working task management to get things done - our team will ensure reports from discord to end up in there. However we will also look into alternatives in the future and review our approach yet again. 2. The next major expansion Our next project has been into conception and early development phase for almost a year - the major delay is due to the unfortunate incident with the former US Army assets after Blitzkrieg release. Yet the time has finally come to give this baby our full focus and unveil to you:« Red Devils and Desert Rats: North Africa to Germany » This expansion will focus on British Army, both in North Africa and Europe, and will bring you the biggest content set we have ever released [since last year]. Let us review the gear together now and take a good look at the work in progress concept arts!Infantry gear: P37 Uniform, webbing and backpack (tan and blanco variants) Leather Jerkin warm jacket Paratrooper Denison smock Desert uniform Mk.2, Mk.3 and paratrooper helmets Weapons: Lee Enfield no.4 Lee Enfield Mk.3 SMLE Sten mk.2 Sten mk.5 Bren mk.1 PIAT Webley mk.6 Bagpipes Mills Bomb grenade Vehicles: Crusader mk.3 Crusader mk.1 AA Austin k5 truck Terrains: Sirte district, Libya Bardia, Libya Tobruk, Libya Pegasus bridge, France Gold beach, France Long term plans for 2018 Our plans for the future are still at a conceptual stage, however, we can already give you early information about the major thematic expansions we set our eye on. After Desert Rats, we will focus on the eastern front and bring some love to the Russian Army - finally after being quite neglected by us for the past year. The Western Allies as the German received a lot of new content and are now more powerful than the Russians - who unbeknown by many had sustained the biggest human effort during WW2. The exact scope of this update is still to be determined, yet the current plans include new weapons models, telogreika uniform and finally the most awaited greatcoats for all factions! To conclude 2018 after the “Ostfront” expansion the German Army is said to expect support by the “Panzer Division”. Operation Blitzkrieg and Fallschirmjäger have changed the battlefield for some months, yet to push back the combined assault of the Allied war machine alongside the Soviet counterattack, it needs the raw power of German steel. Brace yourself for the PanzerJager 38, Panzer 2, Panzer IV interior, Tiger interior, Jagdpanther, Kettenkrad, and possibly even more hidden surprises have left research and are getting prepared for production! While we hope you enjoy those plans for the second half of 2018, feel free to join our discord in order to follow the development more closely and feel free to provide feedbacks. Let’s conclude in this commemorative day of Germany unconditional surrender with the wise words of a German Generalfeldmarschall, best known as the “Desert Fox”. « Sweat saves blood, blood saves lives, but brains saves both. » (Erwin Rommel) Happy 8th of May and thank you, IFA3 Team 22 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps you can imagine yourself advancing in a column next to the 7th Armored Division and the Cronwells towards Caen to the rhythm of "Scotland the Brave" with the sound of the bagpipes? hehe ... very good tip would have that to say the truth. I already want to use that map of the Pegasus bridge next to the Red Devils to remember that mission of the first Call of Duty hehe, remember Price. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yurichenco 107 Posted May 14, 2018 For IFA3 team guys: Hey guys, first of all, I'm sorry for not doing, I'm through Discordia, but as I said earlier, this is the only place I can access, so I take the boldness to continue. You see, an aesthetic thing that bothers me a long time ago is the theme of the colors that have the most (if not all) US vehicles that were ported from the old I44. Especially on the subject of armor, they have a yellowish, brown or khaki color, which does not convince me from the moment I saw them. Especially if on the other hand we see the Sherma M4A3 carrying the IF Liberation which has a more greenish color. To summarize, I think that brown texture should be left alone for the section of the war in Africa since it is a more suitable color for that environment. But in the case of the fight already in Europe (Normandy more than anything) I think I could use a color more or less like this: Personally I take the liberty to modify the textures and recolorearlas, I think now they are much better and if it is to your liking ... happy to facilitate them to use them your taste. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 131 Posted May 16, 2018 Wonder if you have any plans to make it possible for the to add any of the included objects like houses/trees/bushes/rocks/etc... in the editor like Eden Extended Objects does? Understand that it may clutter down the object list but it could be an optional addon. It would be nice to be able to do some variation with WWII props on the maps for different missions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
