lexx 1392 Posted March 22, 2019 I meant the showcase missions. Never even knew there are any. Also I'm always confused if I should download IFA3_LITE or IFA3_AIO_LITE. On the workshop, the AIO page says explicit that there are no sp missions and the non-AIO page says barely anything. I'm downloading it again right now and then see what's happening. /edit: The Airdrop scenario still has a cba dependency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

domokun 515 Posted March 24, 2019 Outstanding. I was amazed that you've managed to model the inside of the Crusader. Fingers crossed that you'll one day find the time to extend this level of detail to the other tanks. I also really liked your implementation of dust clouds behind vehicles driving off-road. Incidentally, is the size of the dust cloud proportional to vehicle size and speed? Although I can't wait, take your time squashing those pesky bugs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norrin 9 Posted March 25, 2019 @.kju - I'm also amazed by what you and your team have achieved with the IF conversion since way back in those early days many moons ago. This mod makes it so tempting to dip my toe back into the ArmAverse. Keep up your fantastic work, norrin 🙂 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wulfle 3 Posted March 28, 2019 Hey everyone. First off, amazing mod. I was wondering if anyone could help me a little bit. I only have ACE, CBA_A3 loaded along with IFA_AIO_A3, the all in one version, and CUP Terrains Core. I keep getting error: Warning Message: Addon 'CUP_CAMP_Armory_Misc_Concrete_Wall' requires addon 'CAMP_Armory_Misc' It's probably something simple but any help would be greatly appreciated.

El Tyranos 1264 Posted March 31, 2019 DownloadWiki: WW2_Download ChangelogWiki: WW2_Changelog -_Preview_v34_-_2019-03-31Wiki: I44 Changelog - Preview_v34_-_2019-03-31 ~~~ Red Devils & Desert Rats Update ~~~ After 18 months of development we are proud to announce you that Red Devils and Desert Rats Update is now available! This is our biggest update yet both in term of content (two maps, seven vehicles, 14 weapons, 45 infantry gears) and gameplay features that will bring a new dimension in ArmA 3 WW2 simulation. This update is the result of a extremely devoted team effort with the selfless involvment of my fellow team members - it would not have been possible without you: kju, Kerc, swurvin, iron_excelsior, Diabolical, GSTAVO, Jaki, LAxemann, Jeg0r, bax, DontShootMe, InstantMuffin, Bricks, Stardust, Lawz, sokolonko! Also much thanks to our dedicated testers and promoters: Dmorok, Remember Sega, Warzen, Jeza, Dragonfly Gaming, Shermanator, stabcon, Slakks! I would also like to thank you - our fans - for your continous support and enthusiasm! ### Highlights ### Tobruk In 1941 the Libyan port city of Tobruk became besieged by Axis forces under command of the Desert fox - German Generalleutnant Erwin Rommel. Australian, Indian, British, Czechoslovakian and Polish troops defended Tobruk for 241 days. The siege was lifted as a result of the Allied operation Crusader; serious losses and poor supplies forced Rommel to retreat. Despite countless efforts of the Allied army, Tobruk was recaptured by the Axis forces on 21 June 1942. The defenders of the city became known as - The Rats of Tobruk. El Alamein In 1942 an Egyptian town of El Alamein became a place of fierce battles between Desert Rats - British Imperial and Commonwealth forces and Panzerarmee Afrika - Italian troops and German expeditionary force. El Alamein was a minor railway station located on an open, desert terrain, however well prepared fortifications and minefields helped Allies to repel the enemy attacks and stop them from capturing Egypt and Suez canal. UK faction showcase Explore staging area of an unnamed British Division. Visit each exhibition area and experience British forces by land, air and sea. All clear! Bayonets Players can attach a bayonet to the muzzle attachment slot of their weapon. Similarly, some weapons have bayonets integrated and do not require an additional muzzle attachment. After switching fire-mode, the player can use it to stab enemy within melee range. Currently the AI are unable to attack with bayonets. Damage is based on the physical bayonet itself - so aim with the bayonet! (not your crosshair) Applicable for: K98k K98k (Late) Mosin-Nagant M91/30 Mosin-Nagant M44 (doesn’t need to equip a bayonet) M1 Garand 1903A4 Springfield FG42 (doesn’t need to equip a bayonet) Lee Enfield No1 MkIII* Lee Enfield No4 MkI Sten Mk5 See the ingame field manual for more details. Rifle Grenades Players can attach a rifle grenade launcher to the muzzle attachment slot of their weapon. After switching fire-mode, the player can load a rifle grenade onto/into the launcher and fire it, much further than can be thrown. Switching away from the rifle grenade fire-mode with a grenade loaded will automatically unload the grenade. The AI is able to use rifle grenades like any other weapon but have no means of "fitting" the attachment and must use the pre equipped weapon variants. For more details, check the field manual ingame. Applicable for: K98k K98k (Late) STG44/Mp44 Mosin-Nagant M91/30 M1 Garand No. 4 Mk. I No. 1 Mk. III* PIAT The anti tank grenade launcher is mainly to be used again lightly armored cars but is also a threat to tanks. The explosive round can also be used against infantry. It is available in both rifle and launcher version for maximum flexibility. The magazines are compatible to each others. White phosphorus A special type of smoke grenade - while it’s main use is to provide smoke-cover. The initial explosion may kill or injure nearby infantry in a fairly big radius. In addition, the lingering smoke is hazardous. It leads to non well-being and may even cause serious injury if exposed for too long. It’s even dangerous to crew when the vehicle is open or the crew is turned out. Stay inside! Currently only available to No.77 Grenade. It will be extended to mortar, artillery and bombs soon. PTRD restrictions Degtyaryov anti-tank rifle has not proven itself to be accurate or effective against tanks, however it's 14.5mm round was devastating against cars or lightly armored vehicles. Yet, with a bit of luck, it could detrack a tank or even shoot down a plane! Due to its weight it can only be used prone or when the weapon gets rested on some support. Note: AI are not affected by the limitation. Bagpipes The Scottish regiments are known to impress their opponents playing the iconic bagpipes while going into battle. There is a manual mode to play the coords yourself, or select from a list of availables tunes/tracks. Use the reload action to select, and the fire action to play. You can find more 25 tracks in this separate mod (required by all players): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1683392891 Extended HUD The custom HUD display several vital information: Damage state of vehicle components Main gun direction Reload state of current main gun Commander view cone Vehicle speed Heading Fuel state This update made it available to all remaining vehicles, displays now also the hull damage, shows the damage state and fixed faulty configuration of a few vehicles. Offroad driving Cars and trucks now get slowed down when moving in the landscape outside roads or dirt tracks. The reduction can be up to 40% in mud or sand surfaces. So to use a road or not is now a tactical choice. Plane loadout customization With the dynamic loadout system you can now customize your plane's loadout via scripting and/or in the ED3N editor before the mission start. In the editor simply double click on the plane you wish to customize (or right click>>Attributes) and select: You will see a top down view diagram of the plane and the available bomb pylons: Now you can customize the payload for each of the pylons individually, or select one of the existing preset loadouts from the upper left drop down list. You can also check the Mirror box in the right upper corner for a symmetrical loadout should you desire one. When you are happy with your selection just click OK and see the new payload on the plane in the editor. AI tank commanding As human tank commander with AI gunner this update brings some useful additions to further improve the experience. Important to note, a previous update already allowed the AI gunner to engage with the main gun on his own, like he already does with MG weapons. Please send us further suggestions you see making it even better! Command cursor There is now an additional cursor for the command, with an AI gunner present, to help you target hostiles or positions more effectively. It will also remain active when you turn out. When you are in optics view, or have a weapon in hand, the cursor gets hidden. Note: It is only visible in cadett difficult and with weapon cursor activated in difficulty options. Command target order Next to the usual "target" key action on vehicles or infantry, you can now also order an AI gunner to target ground or any position/object/wall, if you hold ALT at the same time. This also allows you to target a vehicle more precisely to try to hit specific components. To cancel just target a vehicle/infantry, or use the "target" key action with nothing behind the cursor. Note: In cadett difficult and with weapon cursor activated in difficulty options it will show an arrow at the target location. Command fire order When you have assigned an AI gunner a target, you can use the "fire" or "command fire" action to give him the order to unleash the main gun (when ready). When MG is selected, the AI gunner will fire a suppressive fire burst lasting a couple of seconds instead. Field manual You can read up about custom gameplay features in the field manual now. Note: This is still work in progress and more to come with future updates. Animations All the new weapons come with custom weapon holding and reload animations (only webley pistol comes later). In addition, a whole new tailored animation system for rifles using stripper clips, and the loading of rifle grenades are featured in this update.
