Overthrow WW2

Официальная страница на русском.

The campaign is based on a deeply reworked Overthrow campaign code, with optimization for cooperative gameplay and dedicated servers (full support of Spearhead 1944 DLC and TFAR).

Mod translations: Russian, English, Spanish.

Attention: the campaign is NOT historical, it is an alternative history.

Recommended player age - 30+

Please note - this is NOT a mission where only shooting skills are important - this is a full-fledged strategic PvE mode, which requires using your strengths and the enemy's weaknesses, and this requires a thoughtful approach. A head-on fight with the superior forces at the beginning of the game will only result in the loss of available vehicles and equipment - but the enemy's resources are also limited, so the campaign will cover almost the entire spectrum of combat, from sabotage sorties (one of the most advanced algorithms for determining visibility/hearing is available) to commanding tank units in High Command mode.

Estimated playthrough time is over a week for beginners.

Installation:

For Steam users, and if mods on Steam still available:

- open the mod page and follow instructions

For others:

1. Unpack the essential mods set, add it as local mods, and activate all in A3 launcher. Save it as a preset.

2. Download and activate Second Assault mod by JMax.

3. If you played any other versions of the Overthrow mod, delete the vars profile settings file (look in the FAQ), otherwise you will catch a bunch of bugs with scripts, the variables for which are stored there. Don't ignore this step, otherwise it can ruin your gameplay.

4. English and Spanish-speaking users go to Discord and read the FAQ (at least first entries).

5. Start the game, create a local server, select Altis - Overthrow WW2 and play. If the mission is not in the list, check if the mission filtering is disabled (top right).

6. Optionally - explore the recommended mods set, which can greatly diversify and/or improve the game (some will require compatibility files from the Optional mod folder).

NB: What it is NOT recommended to install with this mods set:

- Any ACE modifications other than those that are in dependencies (but theoretically, those that add something to the functionality of ace are possible - except for those that modify endurance)

- Any AI mods will most likely break scripts/missions to hell

- Any scripts that change camouflage system

- Any scripts that change view distance

- Most of looting scripts

- Any anti-bouncing systems for planes

- Lighting mods - mod has a non-standard system

- Any towing scripts for guns

- Scripts for jamming/weapon failures (embedded)

- Any scripts that change the medical system

- In general, any "combines" (otherwise someone has already tried to install Achilles, and reported about bugs).

- Mods for Zeus - it is embedded. Otherwise, you can also break the scripts.

What is supported:

- Almost any sound mods

- Almost any graphic, if night lighting is not affected (Blastcore and forks are not recommended, as it brings many unwanted side effects)

NB! Despite the status of the "campaign", it is still a mod - with a huge number of mechanics, to the point that the versions of IFA3 and ACE for it - are specially modified separate branches of the original mods. For more than four years, everything used in the mod has been improved, refined and balanced just for it. So be careful with running other missions when the mods from the dependencies are activated - you can get an improvement in some aspects, as well as very unpleasant side effects.
