| RealFaust a submod for RealRed |
| This is a submod for RealRed. It is an attempt to correct what I believe to be some historical inaccuracies that are inherent in not only RealRed but the standard game as well. There are probably more but these are the ones that I have attempted to correct. What was done: 1) The rarity settings of any infantry team that has a panzerfaust30 will not be available prior to the autumn of 1943. 2) The rarity settings of any infantry team that has a panzerfaust60 will not be available prior to the summer of 1944. 3) The rarity settings of any infantry team that has a panzerfaust100 will not be available prior to the winter of 1945. 4) The rarity settings of any infantry team that has a panzerschreck will not be available prior to the autumn of 1943. 5) The range and penetration of the panzerschreck and the various panzerfaust models have been adjusted. 6) Lendlease vehicles used by the Soviets no longer have cannister shot. 7) The Soviet bazooka teams have been replaced with ATR Squads. 8) The accuracy and effectiveness of the Soviet 122mm M30-S L/22.7 HEAT round has been reduced. 9) The German Panther(G) will not be available prior to the spring of 1944. 10) The German JagdPanther will not be available prior to the winter of 1944. 11) The Soviet KV-85 will not be available until the autumn of 1943. 12) The Soviet IS-1 will not be available until the autumn of 1943. 13) The Soviet KV-8S now uses the KV-1S graphics and armor values. 14) OT-133 removed hull bow machinegun and added turret rear machinegun. 15) OT-34 bow flamethrower fires in front only. 16) 8cm PAW 600 has been edited to increase its range and decrease its HEAT effectiveness. 17) M17MGMC now carries a quad .50 cal AAMG instead of a dual .50 cal and 37mm. 18) SU-57 now carries 6 pounder instaed of ZIS-2 57mm. The 6 pounder is more similar to the US 57mm. 19) Various rarity factors in the GETeams and RUTeams to more accurately reflect the historical availability. 20) The ammo loads of the main guns of several vehicles have been adjusted for historical accuracy.

I will not and can not be held responsible for any damage this application may cause. (That includes sleep deprivation, broken marriage, financial losses and any thing else I can be sued for.) Possible issues: It is not known if the existing operations and battles included with RealRed will perform correctly when RealFaust is installed. This may be caused by the extensive editing that was done to the rarity settings of the units. Use at your own risk. Keith W. Postuchow [email protected] |
