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 RPG-7 is a portable, reusable, unguided, shoulder-launched, anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade launcher. The ruggedness, simplicity, low cost, and effectiveness of the RPG-7 has made it the most widely used anti-armor weapon in the world. Currently around 40 countries use the weapon, and it is manufactured in several variants by nine countries, including Egypt. The RPG-7 was first delivered to the Soviet Army in 1961 and deployed at a squad level, replacing the RPG-2.Sighting is usually with an iron sight with optional optical sights, which will increase the accuracy. The RPG-7 can fire a variety of warheads for anti-armor (HEAT) or anti-personnel (HE) purposes.
The first combat use of the RPG-7 was by Egypt during the 1967 war, where they were not used that effectively. Only one was assigned per platoon, backed by RPG-43 grenades. During the 1973 the RPG-7s along with AT-3 Sagger missiles where very effective, knocking out hundreds of tanks and APCs. During the 1973 war, the Egyptians and Syrians formed effective tank hunter teams and the RPG-7 was the main weapon of these teams. The excellent model, texture and animations are shared with us by the Project Reality Mod team.
