WW1 Mod

WW1 Mod
by gedet

About : WW1 Mod takes place during March 21, 1918 to July 18, 1918, also known as the Spring Offensive. During this final phase of the war, mobile warfare resumed, The war on the Western Front was not limited to trenches, they were still used, but the war again, became much more mobile than it was from November 1914 to March 1918.

I'm also considering doing a August 1914 mod still was very mobile warfare.

Stuff

The K98 fires faster than the SMLE, but only holds half the bullets.
5 for the K98 and 10 for the SMLE
The MP18 is one of the first submachine guns. It fires relatively fast, and holds 32 bullets. However is it not accurate. You don't want to run across a soldier holding one still.

Very interesting indeed! Well done, Pasik posted somewhere on how to make custom maps. Doesn't seem hard; just time consuming. I am currently in the process of learning C++ (Will take some time lol) so good luck!

this can be the perfect WWI game, considering how trench-warfare based RWR is. I wish you good luck, gentlemen.

Good luck on this mod! Just few suggestions: Making Kar98 main german weapon is not correct. German standard issue weapon was Mauser Gewehr 98. Carbines were used mostly just in rear forces, artillery, pioneers and such. It would be cool to see Vickers MG as opposite to Maxim MG 08 too! Also, you could do pistols, all officers had them as main weapon. Their meele were knives in 1918 (they used sabres in beginning of war). Anyway good luck with this mod, i look forward to play it, and if you want some help as of historical research, just ask.

I"d say just post your ideas and knowledge now so when he wants it and you're not on, he has that post.

Allright well...i forgot LMGs. Germans had MG08/15, Brits Lewis. They were quite heavy still though (compared to WWII or modern LMGs). This is good resource for WWI http://www.landships.freeservers.com/ More to come later.. Also well.... any progress? It would be good if in future it would be possible in RwR to have more sides (nations)... and of course artillery, tanks, armoured cars and biplanes

Off-area artillery/mortars have been discussed and I'd expect I can get it implemented quite soonish even. Jeeps, tanks and the sort are on the list as well, but will take quite some time to get right, AI needs to learn driving, physics need to be great and all that. Controllable airplanes need to be left out at this point, it sounds like too much work for the game to ever become properly finished. Of course, things can change if the final game or pre-purchase+beta-access sells enough or the game gets funding or enough donations so I can work on it full-time, then only the sky is the limit.

All right, well maybe some flyovers could be possible at least (to add atmosphere and maybe bomb some target)?
