The Liberation 1941-1945 team has released their long awaited first modification for Operation Flashpoint, based on the eastern European World War II front, which features the 1941's Barbarossa Operation, where German forces betrayed and invaded USSR by surprise.
The mod has been totally translated into English and French, a German version will be released in a upcoming patch. If you have trouble installing it because the installer is in Russian, type your OFP installation directory in the fill box (c:\program files\codemasters\operation flashpoint\ for example), and hit the Enter key of your keyboard.
This mod features a lot of outstanding units for both sides and excellent new effects, now the Tanks use the first realistic armor damage system based on penetration values and not on just 'hitpoints' (in Classic OFP, you were able to destroy a T80 with several dozen of handgrenades)! The Tanks has also a special localized damage system, so you can disable tracks or engine and the tank will be immobilized!
The PzIII, PzIV and T-34 tanks have also a course machinegun, where a 4th crew can take place and as a tank commander you will be able to control him as well. As you already know the OFP Engine limitation doesn't allow multiple gunner positions, so they probably had to create an "invisible vehicle" attached to the tank using a getpos/setpos script which is working but not perfect. But if you let the AIIA in it, it's working pretty well in Single Player (except on big slopes), and adds more firepower against infantry.
There are also new scripted mines, that explode only if a vehicle wheel or track has a direct contact with the mine's detonator surface! So in a tank convoy going along a road, the first tank to explose might not be the first tank of the column anymore! They reworked their Grenades as well, that now send shrapnel around.
It's not needed to talk about the units, as you've already seen screenshots showing their perfect visual quality! Do not miss the new fire, smoke and especially the "armor hit" effect which is very impressive! With the new armor script the Tanks fights are becoming more tactical than BIS ones and last much longer! As a soldier, you can now climb on the tanks and half-tracks, which is useful to kill an enemy driver not willing to disembark for example!
Unfortunately, the biggest disapointement with the mod is that it is currently without any missions included, as their missionmaking team was not able to finish their work for the date's release! If missionsmakers are interested to create some good quality ones (with briefing, cutscenes, stringtable, etc), we will post them in the headlines news!
"Devoted to the soldiers of the GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR
Liberation 1941-45 team announces the release of the first version of our modification for the famous game "Operation Flashpoint". The modification covers the events of the Great Patriotic War of Soviet people against Nazi invaders.
Our team devotes this work to the victorious soldiers who made their combat way from Moscow to Berlin, liberated nations of Europe from Nazi enslavement and saved them from extermination. We remember that in June 1941 our country and the Red Army suffered a destructive attack by the Wehrmacht, one of the most powerful armies of the XX century. One cant stand such a trial…
But Soviet Soldier did not waver in 1941! He fought to the bitter end in battles near Moscow, burned in a tank near Kursk, starved but fought in sieged Leningrad, defended Stalingrad, liberated millions people of Europe.
We remember that our people had to pay the price of almost 30 million lifes for the Victory, that it was Soviet Soldier who made the major contribution to the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Everlasting glory to the Heroes!"

lo habéis probado?, por lo que he leído tiene un buen grado de realismo... pero a ver si al final va ser un puro arcade al estilo "si recibe 500 impactos de bala el stug explota"....
