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.
Along with the new Armored Command Vehicles we are also adding new radar for both sides. These new radars will be more like the radar systems that both sides used during the war and will replace the generic radar we currently have on our maps from BF2. The radar will also be located with the SAM batteries to give it a more realistic look on our maps.
This is the MPQ-55 radar system that often accompanied the HAWK SAM batteries. Both the radar and the HAWK missiles were supplied by the US starting in 1965. The HAWK missiles were successfully used during the Six Day War, War of Attrition and Yom Kippur War. The IDF also had a self propelled version mounted to the back of a modified M548 tracked vehicle which we are also working on.
Beautiful as always!
Thanks
