Oh it is highly moddable, but the engine isnt exactly renowned for it's ability to
handle vehicles that well.

Theyve rewritten the arma2 engine so tanks aren't just hopping based any more. That damage models is aparently very similar to wwiionline with armor thinkness, round type, angle of impact etc being modelled for a very realistic tanking experience. The devs have implemented a tank only mode too! I think I will be purchasing this and playing over wwiionline where the armor game has been practically killed off!

Also with suitable missions this can be considered to be a tank sim due to the level of realism! Also looking forward to some proper multi crewing!

I'm finding a big problem with the ranging system. Using the strich in the gunsight, and measuring a head on t34 at exactly 750 meters, I had to dial in almost 2000 meters before my round landed on the target. There's something very wrong with the ranging system and dialing in range in the gunsight.

There is an acknowledged issue with range being really wrong on 1 tank and a little off on another, the rest should be spot on. I think they said the first patch messed them up. The devs said they are on it and it will be fixed. I can dig up a link if you want. I am enjoying it.

hi guys

just installed IF 44 and i have to say im fond of it. BUT it has problems. im patched up to No.3. but the game has a frail feel to it. my system is plenty - more than plenty, but theres something about the game that feels as though it might collapse at anytime.
the controls are difficult to to learn, as though im in the dark with a torch trying to find what/where and how?
but but, i like it. i like the theater it is set in, the colours the landscape, the real history about this time. makes a change from everything american. maybe the moddling is a bit weak but i like it!

im at the begining, so im learning. any one with tips and ideas please post them as im keen to know more. i hope they keep patching it - making it stronger.

cheers
