Battlefield 1918

This mod focuses on making all the factions as authentic as possible while balancing proper class differentiation. the late war portion of WW1 was the theme used for the faction overhauls on base maps. While DLC maps like Achi Baba, will keep its early war feel. Ultimately, this mod aims to make Battlefield 1, that much more authentic while breathing new life into the game.

Many texture edits were used from the Battlefield 1 Character Rework mod, which was made by "PotatoChip_28", "HauptmannHK", "Trek" and "Madicode". Here is their mod.

Some model and texture edits were from Utasha/Marlo who has made various mods.

Most model and texture edits were also created by "HarlowLovesGaming/Jay Fuzz", who created Battlefield 1914, which you can find their mod here. Also, he made 1916 - Enhanced Multiplayer as well, which you can find here.

Inspiration and the project file for the older versions of this mod was gained by "Nutthutt", who also created their own mod.

All overhauls in this mod are within the engine limits so do not fear being banned as no gameplay advantaged is gained.
