Same question as Rowdied have you considered doing a compat for northern fronts since there's a lack of spearhead compatibility mods for the WW2 mods like CSA38, Nothern Fronts, and East Asia War.

Have you considered doing this for Northern Fronts too?

@Grand Professor Corvus

Hi,
No I do not intend to make a overhaul for IFA3 Liberation. IFA3 Liberation itself is balanced against base IFA3 from what I know with it's own scripting system for damage. Northern Fronts has a good selection of tanks for early and mid war that surpasses IFA3 Liberation.

@Saltwater Cowboy
I never added the code for the Sd.Kfz 7 to be able to tow the SPE towables... next time I get more time on this project I will add that to the update. Thanks for pointing this out

Do you plan on making an SPE Overhaul for IFA3 Liberation since it significantly expands the soviet and german armor roster?

FYI I still cant seem to get the prompt to hook up to towable guns with the Sd.Kfz 7

would be nice if the IFA3 team did this so you dont need to add another mod to the mix...

@Stelle
Hi, I started on some modifications to the WW2 Tanks mod awhile back specifically targeting the Panzer II to use a modified SPE Flak gun and some new sounds for that. I started on the M26 Pershing but got burnt out on the project.

I want to finish some other projects before coming back to this, I also have a Wirbelwind update to push out to use SPE guns.

Any chance you could add compatibility for the WW2 Tanks mod? Specifically the M26 Pershing?

Hello all,
Today I've released an update to update the Sd.Kfz 251 lack of towing, Tiger II and Tiger I vehicle UIs, and applied the SPE vehicle ammo counter to the Gunners of various vehicles. See the Changelog discussion!

@princefullmoon
I use ACE, SPE & IFA3 with no problems. Just make sure to disable Advance Vehicle Damage.

Gotcha, sounds good, thanks for the info and reply good sir! Merry Christmas :D

@PrinceFullmoon
Hi,

There's no way to increase the frontal armor of the IFA3 Tiger II without me having access to the un binarized model (so no). I think the M10 and Sherman 76 from SPE have similarly name but different performing main cannons. I think I left the Tiger II compass as the IFA3 one because it would break or not work with the SPE one.

I might just be getting fucked by some weird arma shenanigans, but figured I'd leave the comment juuuuust in case haha

Hello, is there any way to increase the frontal armor of the Tiger II? It may be because I'm using ACE, but the Sherman 76s feel really strong against it for some reason, while the M10 despite having pretty much the same gun, feels like how I'd expect against the front.

Also, the Tiger II compass is a little borked, which I don't mind just figured I'd let you know :)

Adding compatibility with Northern Fronts would be awesome too.

Thats a shame that it breaks they have some nice models for the kubelwagens, and Sd.Kfz 251

@Saltwater Cowboy
I'll add that function in the next update then.

I'm not going to add compat for FOW. FOW breaks with SPE because of how FOW does the AT guns.

I have a small roadmap of what I plan to do in the readme of the Github in the description.

So just tested and yea the 251/1 does not get the option when backing up to any of the guns.

If that’s the case it isn’t workin for me lol great mod though would love to see another for the fow mod

@Saltwater Cowboy
Hi I think I applied the SPE towing script onto the IFA3 251/1 so you could tow the SPE Pak and Howitzer

Can you tow static weapons with IFA3 vehicles?

that error doesn't stop missions from loading in SP or MP or even on a dedicated server but it would be nice to have it gone

@dead.avalon
Hi, I've been made aware previously about that error. I just haven't had time to take a look at solving the error but I know where it stems from.

(no empty bin\config.bin Cfg weapons/close scope ) there was no error before the update

Thanks for getting it updated so quickly

Hey Jpspider, no worries. It just makes stalking them that much harder now. We got cornered by 3 tonight and lost 5 tanks and 1 Nashorn before we could take them out.

@Rowdied
I tried changing the reload time of the SPE M4 Howitzer variant I made to no luck. Not sure how to modify it properly. Also I couldn't get custom magazine wells working to streamline making new ammo.

Awesome! Just tested no more double shots but it seems the reload time on the JS2 is half what it used to be in IFA3, 8 seconds now when it should be closer to 12-15 seconds.
Did you change the time or is SPE over riding the default time?
Great work again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@maddog
Hello I just modified the JS-2 in this most recent update v1.0.3

@Armoured_Contempt
I added the requested .bikey

Love the mod, huge thank you for doing this work.
Do you think you could add in the JS-2 in the next update?

Awesome! Glad to hear it

@Armoured_Contempt
Hi, I've added a Keys folder that will come with the next update along with other minor changes.

Yo! Love the mod, testing it now with aims to use on our server, but ours is whitelisted and the mod isn't currently fully signed (doesn't have a .bikey in a keys folder). Any chance that could be fixed at some point?

@ChicagoNinja7779
Hi originally I considered it but thought "eh people will just use the SPE Tiger so why bother with the IFA one".

I'll apply the changes to the IFA Tiger E next time I get time to work on this and some of the other ideas I had on the github.

Hey Jpsider, could you equip the IFA3 Tiger 1 E with the SPE Tiger 1 H sounds and gun along with the SPE MG34?
Just wondering if you could because I actually like using the IFA3 Tiger 1 E instead of the SPE one and love the mod btw.

@Mike
I don't think so. I think those pictures for interior are low quality.

One question: could you insert the interior views of the German tanks in "IFA 3 Real Panzer" for the German tanks in "Spearhead 44" as well?

@Marinus
WWII armoured cars probably not or in the very far future
WWII tanks probably not or in the very far future

If I were to work on them, similar to NF, I would try to make them their own mods to have a modular set of mods or optional additions rather than forcing people to download everything in one AIO.

@[SMF]xFreakylow
The affected IFA3 tanks with renamed or identical SPE tank weapons. So the tanks will have the SPE explosions.

are you planning to make the few vehicles from these mods as well, WW2 Armored Cars [IFA3] / WW2 Tanks [IFA3]

hey do you Overhaul all tanks and vehicles with the spearhead sounds i mean the gun and explosions sounds for the guns, the engine sounds etc? in ifa3 these sounds are not so good vanilla

love u dawg, thnx

@Archervong
I don't have a compat for that.

how about ifa3 liberation? do you have compat?

@The Nobbles - God of Cheese
I tinkered with NF a bit and it's less than satisfactory. I'd need to rework all the SPE German guns to get them to be able to penetrate the NF tanks because of how NF modeled their vehicles.

WWII armoured cars probably not or in the very far future
WWII tanks probably not or in the very far future

@IceBlue
I'm not interested in CSA38 at the moment so in the very far future as it's own mod maybe

can you please align northern front and csa with SPE?

So happy about finally being able to have battles between mod and DLC!

Are there any plans to touch NF or the WWII armoured cars and WWII tanks mods?

Oh man thank you - this was sorely needed!

@Dunklik
Yes

@Brian Hates Games
simc...

Does that mean tanks from IFA shoot at SPE tanks now ?

hi
