i44 currently the best mp ww2 tanksim?

murkz · 11-09-10, 02:43 AM

Just a heads up for all you tankers the i44 mod has been released for ArmA 2 and in our opinion is currently the best multiplayer world war 2 tank sim available, for several reasons.

ArmA2 has outstanding multiplayer code, we have hosted 8 people on a a non dedicated 8mbit home broadband connection.

i44 tanks are now slow, heavy beasts with some really great models.

i44 tanks have working optics, so you gun like they did in the day.

i44 has the best Panther sound ever heard in a sim!

i44 has models for the panzer 2,4 (d,g,g skirted) Tiger, King Tiger and 4 version's of stug.

i44 Allied units have the Shermans (various models) and Firefly

i44 has all the support vehicles that need to be used to keep you're panzer in working order.

Arma2 has massive 225 sqkm maps, with many environments.

i44 comes with a D-Day landing map, with correct period setting.

Arma2 supports 60 man MP missions on a dedicated server.

ArmA2 has built in voice chat at many levels, so the correct comms can be used.

Give it a try, we all love it, we hope you guys do.

murkz · 11-09-10, 04:09 AM

i44 have created a new penetration module for the panzers.

5thWiking · 11-09-10, 10:08 AM

looks awesome i think i must give it a go... gotta buy arma2 first tho

I havent played shooters in a long long time, how does the aiming system work? crosshair in mid screen or the weapon sights like in real life

Given tanks have always been the weakest link of OFP/Arma, I can with quite a great confident say 'no' to the question without even trying it.

The first mod team to achieve this and please give us more credit than trying to pass off the cardboard tanks of ofp/arma as anywhere near good enough.

These tanks are very good indeed, if you have Arma2 what have you got to loose

I agree to an extent, but I've always thought that the aircraft in OFP/ARMA got even less attention. The flight models are horrible and weapon employment has always been a joke.

A real aiming reticle for all panzers and tanks.

Here I have it set to 800 meters.

That looks really awesome.

I'm a long time World War Two Online player but the tank combat in that has declined major over the years. I've also played Red Orchestra and Darkest Hour mod since they've been out.

I need to give this a try.

Free to play version of arma doesn't have mod support, so that'd be no.

zachanscom · 07-18-11, 06:13 PM

nice graphics, not very indepth though. obviously not the best sim, although it's ok for quick arcade, semi realistic game.

Stormfly · 07-22-11, 07:21 PM

...dont forget that the arma series are more or less a infrantry combat simulator, but having a wide range of different vehicles you`re able to pilot. For a "sim-game" of its priceclass you cant expect having all the simulation dept as like in a "tank only sim".

On the other hand, regarding tactics and virtual battlefield, Bohemi Interactive deliver also VBS-2 a proffessional combat simulator which is more or less running on the same engine and partly shared content but much more advanced and made for real troops... the US Marine Corps is training with it for example.

regarding I44, the modding possibilitys within arma are endless, some vanilla vehicles have a 3D interrior with crew, so it is doable. The damage and ballistic`s modell got modified, fitting much better into it now.

My favors are the Panther and Tiger tanks as they have the best engine sounds at current. Its a shame that allied tanks feature a bad, much to quiet unrealistic engine sound, lets hope they take a hand on it.

If you want to have a more realistic modern version try the ACE mod, for more real missiles and its systems try Mando Missiles mod.

This is what I was afraid of. I want a lot of sim in my sim.
