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.

Description

The BTR-40 (Bronetransporter, literally "armoured transporter") is a Soviet non-amphibious, wheeled armoured personnel carrier and reconnaissance vehicle. It is also the first mass-produced Soviet APC.

The APC variant has no permanent armament but the BTR-40A is heavily armed, with twin ZPTU-2 14.5 mm twin anti-aircraft gun in a specail turret, later also used in the BTR-152A, manually operated by a single soldier. The turret is placed inside the troop compartment. It can make a full turn and its guns can elevate between -5 and +80 degrees.

It was widely used by the Arab armies from the 1950's up until recently. Illness88 did a great job with creating the texture and model for the new ZPTU-2 turret and doing the research to make a historical accurate and beautiful texture. We show here the Egyptian BTR-40A in its 1967 camouflage of tan.
