Mission Repository

# What is the LITE version

• Exactly the same selection of assets and features as in the FULL version
• Free version with lower quality textures and sounds
• SP missions and campaigns are not available
• Do note that it is fully MP compatible to the converted FULL version.
• So you can play together with your friends or other players that have the FULL version.

# What is different to previous releases

• Reduced to a single mod folder for simple install and use.
• Available on Steam workshop for simple install and automated updating.
• Bumped textures from 128x128 to decent looking 512x512 resolution (2048x2048 in FULL version).
• Native TFAR support for radios available.

This version contains still some issues we are aware of or some we are not aware of.
However we want to provide people finally with an easy-to-use, hassle free, up-to-date
and decent quality LITE version to be able to enjoy WW2 in Arma 3.

In addition we mainly more feedback on the scripted features - especially in MP environment.

Known issues:

• Visual artifacts with backpacks.
• Bugged reload animations with pistols.
• Sound volume off and missing altogether for some vehicles and infantry weapons.
• A few texture issues with infantry.
• P47 plane stuck to the ground.
• US vehicles not yet supporting PhysX and missing engine sounds therefore as well.
• Effects to be improved (ie tank firing FX).
• PhysX for tanks to be improved.
• Shadows of various assets to be improved.

# 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
