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.
Here we show two more things that will be in the upcoming v0.17 release. Bot controlled mortars and artillery and dog-fighting only versions of maps. We got the bots to use the artillery and mortars really effectively, and these weapons will be a real danger on the battlefield.
We also are introducing dog-fighting maps. These are large maps that only spawn aircraft. There are no control points to capture the only objective is to destroy as many enemy planes as possible.
