Invasion 1944 v2.62 - Preview news

http://www.invasion-1944.com/


www.invasion-1944 have a preview of the upcoming new release to the excellent World War II mod I44 and my personal Arma 2 favorite mod...


The work on the panzer optics and the new HUD system is what really does make all the difference to I44 as a tanking simulation. As you can see i44 has correctly moving and ranging optics. A huge improvement over the originals in I44. The new HUD system (@52 seconds in the top movie) gives you as a crew member so much more feedback when multi-crewing a vehicle.



The night illumination is also very good and replicates the lighting of the period very well.


The Hetzer optic being one of my favorite additions to I44, it feels and behaves so very well and an absolute pleasure to use.


There is also a new Panther model in the upcoming 2.62 patch. The Ausf G with various new skins and probably the best Panther I have ever seen in a game. There are also new tank rider animations, all of which add to our tanking pleasure :)

More information is available here http://www.invasion-1944.com/ and they have an excellent forum there as well.

If you're wondering whether Steel Fury: Kharkov 1942 still holds up in 2023, the answer is a resounding yes.

Panzer Elite: The Enduring Legacy of a Classic Tank Simulator

Image
Screenshot from Panzer Elite, a classic tank simulation game. If you had told me in 1998 that I'd still be playing Panzer Elite in 2024, I might have looked at you like you'd grown a second head. Yet here I am, deeply entrenched in the captivating world of one of the most enduring tank simulators ever created. What makes this game from the last millennium still worth my time?

A Reflection on ZeeWolf's Mod and Its Future

Image
I've been contemplating a matter close to my heart as an enthusiast of T34 vs Tiger, and I wish to share these thoughts with you all, seeking your insights and guidance. As many of you know, ZeeWolf's mod, a creation that can only be described as his magnum opus, stands as a testament to his skill, passion, and dedication to T34 vs Tiger. This piece of work has significantly enriched the T34 vs Tiger gaming experience, yet, it currently remains accessible to only a very few of us. ZeeWolf, unfortunately, has not been active or seen in any tank sim community for the past four years. His absence raises a poignant question about the future of his exceptional work. It's a creation too remarkable from a single developer to reside unnoticed on a handful of our hard drives. The idea that it could be shared and appreciated by anyone with a love or interest in T34 vs Tiger is one I find compelling. However, I'm torn by the ethical considerations of releasing ZeeWo...
