3. Changes/////Can't list them all, but here's the tip-of-the-iceberg////
A. All weapons have been modded in a large degree in the name of realism. You'll maybe notice the more major differences between guns like the ppsh and the mp40.
All weapons, not just small arms. Grenade splash damage, panzerfaust velocity/accuracy, Jagdtiger accuracies, and ranges, just to name a few.
B. One of the specs in this mod that make it different than most other mods is the engagement distance between any kind of combatant. For example, all weapons
can be shot as far as you please(provided the bullet's/missile's/shell's velocity is high enough), it's just up to you whether you're going to hit your target or not.
Note: AI will engage targets as soon as they think they can harm them.
C.Almost all vehicle inventories now contain useful items. (Ecspecially infantry support/supply vehicles) When the general engagement range to weapons went up, so did the ammo expense.
(Battle look more like real firefights now) To compensate for this, all soldiers inventories were modded to give them a slightly longer fight time before needing resupply, while at the same
time, staying realistic like soldiers during 1940-45.
D. Fixes to many, many, unrealistic factors that occur while in combat. Soldiers dropping their weapons and "forgetting" to pick them back up for example. Small armored cars and tanks zipping
around the battlefield roadkilling everything that they encounter before it has a chance to retaliate... Lame. This mod is about taking the Men of war engine to a full throttle realism.
4. Unfortunately, I can't upload the full music replacements for the mod due to the max upload size. But eventually, every original MOW soundtrack will be transformed into something much
better. Once I can increase my upload limit that is.
