MOD: Realism Mod 0.1b by Lumme and Vähäkylä

[Erwin]

Realism Mod by Kalle-Erik Vähäkylä, Markus Lumme and Mari Lepola.

Current Version: 0.3b

Here it is, folks. A mod that modifies all the ranges, speeds, accuracies and weapons.

0.3b Changelog:

Some examples, not all:

-Weapon speeds modified once again, now a bit slower.
-Cannons are A LOT more accurate, now tanks don't miss anymore so often.
-Cannons keep their penetration value for longer distances, so you can still knock out tanks at 700 meters. (Only for single player for now, update will follow soon)
-Lots of small modifications to inventories, riflemen have more ammunition, US Machinegunners have the BAR, not the Bren,
german officers have mp40-smg's and many other similar. (Found bug: Only the german officer has an smg, not other nation's officers"
-Many of the penetration values have been changed to represent more realistic values.
-Some small vision tweaks, however, there are still lots to do.


0.1b
Some changes, not all:

-M1 Garand and M1 Carbine now fire semiautomatic, quite fast and both kill with few shots.
-M1 Thompson has only 20 bullets in a mag, like most of them had.
-All the bolt-action rifles fire lot more faster now.
-Example: Range for the K98k German rifle is now about 1 kilometer, not 70 meters.
-All the other ranges are also modified.
-Stg 44 is a lot more better now, like a real rifle.
-Weapons kill faster
-Speed of the bullets are modified. Now it does not take a forever to reach the target. A sniper round goes instantly to 200 meters. From 700 meters there is a minor slowdown, like in the real life.
-Mg42 now really fires about 1245 bullets per minute, just like the real thing. Not some lazy 500 rounds per minute.
-DSHK is a beast now. Accurate, deadly and loud. It really is a beast.
-Many of the fire rates have been modified. Thompson has a 800-1000rpm, while the Grease Gun m3 has only 300-400rpm.


Many, many other changes.

Ask and I will answer. Help and support is accepted. I also take some suggestions for future.
I made it with my friend Markus Lumme and my fiancee Mari Lepola, so half of the thanks go to him and her.

Please remember that this really is a beta, and lots of work still exists.

Sounds cool. So are all ranges improved on all weapons? And is the line of sight also improved??

Ohh nice. I have bearly seen the MG42 in MoW yet. Seams like all germans only use Mg34 for some reason...

[Erwin]

For some units, line of sight has been improved, but not for the most. It is difficult still for me, but be patient.

Fast work Erwin...

are there any penalties applied for upping the fire rate?

MG42 for example would destroy its barrel if fired in too long bursts.
bolt action rifles perhaps a little more sway if trying to fire to rapidly ...good for suppression but lose accuracy

perhaps random jamming for some smgs ie Stg44 if fired on full

[Erwin]

I started modding two days ago. Before that i did not have any experience. So be patient. For now, i dont have idea how to edit them. However, when firing full auto by infantry, the mg42 cant hit anything. I made it so, so you need to control fire.

Well done....Ill shall give it a try in a bit.
Im sure you will get lots more help and suggestions once all the Faces of War modders/community shift their attention to Men of War

Ok, for the install, do you just dump everything into the Mods folder? Or do I have to add stuff to the resource folder as well?

[firefox83]

nevermind, I figured it out

great mod, works good so far.

[Mark J]

excellent work Erwin, and sage advice from Crazybear Hopefully you will get this great game too CrazyB, more expert modders the better

Will download and try the mod out, thanks Erwin. The tank fire inaccuracy and lack of penetration was one of the things slightly bothering me with the game so far.
