# Where to download it
# What is the AIO version
- AIO stands for All in one this includes all soldiers, tanks, weapons, objects, and maps (terrains).
- High resolution assets
# What are the plans for the future
- We will support and continue to improve the Arma 3 version
- Further polish (less bugs, better performance, improved data structure and naming)
- Add the remaining new A3 technology not yet available.
- We also want to achieve as good compatibility as feasible with other mods most importantly upcoming WW2 mods.
- To achieve this we plan to replace the scripted systems (artillery, towing, mines) with native A3 engine functionality as much as possible.
- Drop the scripted damage system for vehicles, as much as possible, and switching to
- Old's Real Armor Mod system instead (and redo a few the remaining missing scripted functionality)
- Make the all units/weapons/vehicles possible to reskin.
- Offer winter and desert variants of the assets.
- Standalone release of the terrains - maybe even the terrain objects separate as well for terrain designers to make use of.
- Our team is growing and the future sounds good
- Native FULL Iron Front for Arma 3 one way or another
