The sole purpose of this mod is to make Battlefield 1942 as realistic as possible to WWII, not sacrificing realism for balancing or to make it less boring, while trying to keep the action of thousands of soldiers with a relatively small number of players. There has been and will continue to be much research involved in creation of this mod. Because this mod is heavily focused on keeping it as real as possible, I expect it will mostly capture the interests of WWII enthusiasts rather than hardcore gamers. This is my first mod and I have learned very much in the short time I've been working on it, and I look forward to making this possibly the most realistic mod ever created for BF1942.

The Level Of Detail (LOD) for models has been set to use only the highest quality and they are visible at a greater distance. The Zero, the landing craft, and the Japanese submarine (Sub7C) needed specific modifications so they would show up at the distance this screenshot was taken at.
Great to see that the Carrier has support from Destroyers and that Battleship (the Yamato?).
Actually this map is a custom map I've made that I used to test changes to the ships. It is not included with release 1 of the mod and I can't say right now if I'll include it in later releases. I will however include support for WWII Reality in the next release of each of my maps and I am planning a brand new map to be included exclusively with the mod.
Yes, the battleship shown in the image is the Yamato.
If you look hard enough, you can also see the Sub7C submarine behind the carrier. A little factoid: The Sub7C (Type VIIC U-Boat) is actually a German submarine and has never been operated by Japan.
nice little piece of info about the sub there.
True that need to get the I-400 sub in there :D
now thats cool
will there be maps that allow subs in single player & co-op?
