Israeli Defense Force: Fight for Independence is a Total Conversion modification for the PC game Battlefield 2 (A.K.A. BF2). What we aim to achieve with this mod is to immerse the player into the historic wars involving Israel, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan, which are the 6-Day War, the War of Attrition, and the Yom Kippur War. The player will be able to play as a common soldier, crewmember, or pilot in these wars. The mod will feature historically accurate equipment such as the famous Russian AK-47, the fearsome SO-4050 bomber, the menacing IS3 and M48 tanks, and much, much more. Also, the maps will recreate actual battles that happened in these wars, to complete a historically-accurate and immersive modification. IDF:FFI is also a member of the acclaimed cooperative gaming studio Black Sand Studios.
The BTR-60 is the first vehicle in a series of Soviet eight-wheeled armoured personnel carriers. It was developed in the late 1950s as a replacement for the BTR-152. The BTR-152 and BTR-40, the first two Soviet mass-produced APCs developed after the Second World War, gave the Soviet Army useful experience with wheeled armoured personnel carriers. The low combat values of the BTR-152 and BTR-40 were exposed when the Egyptian Army used them during the Suez Crisis in 1956. This was one of the main reasons why the new APC was developed.
Development proceeded along two paths: a more expensive vehicle that would eventually become the BMP-1, for use in tank divisions, and a cheaper vehicle for use in motor rifle divisions, that would eventually become the BTR-60. BTR-60 was a revolutionary design for its time. It had a unique combination of armament, protection, mobility and amphibious capability. The hull armour is made from welded steel and provides protection against small arms fire and shrapnel. The BTR-60 was used by both the Egyptians and Syrians during the Yom Kippur War. We show here the Egyptian BTR-60 with its 3-tone camaflouge that was used on some vehicils during the Yom Kippur War of tan, green & brown. We will also have a Syrian & possibly and Iraqi texture as well.
Sexy :D
During gameplay, will the drivers hatch be closed, or open(like BF:V)?
I remember that now in BF:V, being able to fire out of the hatches that was cool. We won't have open hatches but we will have firing ports, 2-3 on each side.
We are working on a new firing port mechanic where you will be able to actually see your rifle firing out the port instead of generic cross hair only like in the regular BF2 game.
awesome
