What's inside...

messagefix
This is an updated version of the DCG mini-mod that removes vehicle damage messages.
Ty's Hud
Mini-mod that makes in-game interface more transparent.
Ty's Xtra FX
This mini-mod increases the amount of FX that are allowed to stay ingame before disappearing. Ex. bodies, shell holes, blood, debris from tanks and buildings, and longer lasting vehicle tracks. It also makes structures easier to destroy.If you have performance issues already with MOW, this might increase those issues.
Ty's Testing Mod
I created this mod to help me test and develop my realism. It adds an extra campaign with 9 missions.
These missions are intended for testing every nation's vehicles and weapons.
-------------------------- Ty's Realism ---------------------------
This is the main mod and the reason for everything else. This is a copy of the readme file and a list of some of the more notable changes I've made.
All Changes have been applied to original DCG and MOW Content.
Some sounds we used with special permission from: Bulb0r2k (GSM Fields of Honor),
Hydr4 (Ultimate Sound Pack), Prowlinger (Merciless Sound Mod)
This mod is intended to be used with the latest version of DCG
2.4 and all of its available packs (map, vehicle and infantry).
****I highly recommend playing with fog of war ON and difficulty set to HARD. The challenge is very rewarding.****

_________________________________________________________________
The vision distances have been increased and heavily modified. This allows players to more easily play with fog of war on in DCG. I myself never played with fog of war until I started using this mod. For the best experience I encourage playing with Fog of War ON. Besides changing weapon ranges and damages, I've also fixed some common issues and added some new things I'd like to highlight.
-Fixed AT rifles so they do NOT shoot at infantry
-Fixed Binocular carrying infantry so they DO pull out their weapon when being attacked.
-Mortars can now damage/destroy armored cars and light tanks
-AI uses grenades more often
-Added Sandbags to MG Stands and cannons
-Lowered chances of helmets coming off
-Added burning sound to vehicles when they're on fire
-RPG's can now ricochet of tanks when hit at certain angles
-Added new tank scripts causing crew to abandon vehicle if left unrepaired after a certain amount of time
-Added vision for sniper's and binocular's similar to MP vision
