There are a few WW2 mods for Arma 3 but none of them are really ready yet:. Iron Front (IF) - a community attempt to shoe-horn this stand-alone game for Arma 2 into A3. Very high quality but frustrated by complex install procedure. Hell in the Pacific - a mod that brings the Pacific theatre into A3 (reboot of A2 mod). Very promising. War Chronicles WW2 - the newest of the lot and the simplest but rather basic so far.
31st Normandy Mod - the oldest of the lot but very little to show so far other than some tantalising screeners. CSA38-45 - another A2 mod that's made the jump to A3 except that this one focuses on the Czechoslovak army in 1938-1945. Perhaps the most promising apart from HiP. Invasion 44 - the best but sadly Arma 2 only. It is possible to load it into A3 but it remains a buggy mess:Personally I would pay top dollar (full price) for a A3-powered WW2 game and I suspect many others would too. It could bring the realism, grit and scope absent from so many earlier games.
IMHO the last good WW2 FPS was H&D2. So I guess WW2 game based on A3 could be the spiritual H&D3? Good news is that some of the H&D team are still around.
The bad news is that they're now busy on Kingdom Come: Deliverance (which looks equally authentic btw). Until these mods are released, you could try the Sniper Elite series.
Yes it's a corridor shooter and rather gratuitous but it seems to be the best out there right now (SE4 looks promising). A huge problem with Iron Front though was that modding was restricted for it, which is pretty much a death knell for any arma style game.
It's huge turnoff for communities to not be able to add stuff like ACRE.Added to that, Iron Front had to compete with free mods for arma 2 like I44. While the quality of the maps, units and vehicles in Iron Front was better than I44, I44 had more stuff, and especially more stuff that would appeal to western communities, like British and American units.
World War 1 Arma 3 Mods
Iron Front did add some American stuff, but only in a limited way in dlc.In my community, some of us played around with Iron Front, but it never really took off. But if you wanted to do larg scale ww2 stuff, everybody could easily get I44, and you could add mods like ACRE or smaller content mods like the CSA38 mod to to add to the experience, so that's what everyone gravitated towards.Hypothetically speaking, if Arma 4 was a WW2 game, that came with all the usual mod support etc, I think the community would embrace it, because it'd be rather different that a little known, restricted off shoot of arma that Iron Front was.
I think so, which really didn't help with the buggy release and lead to more people being put off the game.I had high hopes for Iron Front when it was announced people were porting the content to arma 3, because the units, vehicles and maps were of a very good quality. Even if you had to own the original game to get the best out of it, just having that stuff in arma would breathe new life into it. Unfortunately its horribly broken and doesn't seem to show any signs of being fixed.In general the state of ww2 mods for arma 3 is kinda depressing. For the first couple of years after release there basically seemed to be no progress, but now finally at least there seems to be a bunch of mods in development. In addition to the ones you mentioned above, there's also Westwall,and even, on a slightly related note, a WW1 mod, Blood Trench.Unfortunately progress with all this stuff seems very slow, and while I understand that high quality content takes a lot of time and effort to make, many of these mods seems to struggle with even releasing a basic set of units and weapons. I do wonder if any of these mods will be finished by the time Arma 4 is released, what ever form that game may take.A couple of years into the life of Arma 2, and I44 already had a huge release with a bunch of different uniforms, about 60 vehicles, 30 weapons, stuff like it's own ballistics, wounding system, armour penetration, even bayonets.
I mean at times it could be buggy as hell, spam out rpt errors like no tomorrow, and trying to get it work at high player counts took a great deal of effort. But with enough work you could so some amazing stuff, my best memories of playing Arma are doing these big company scale missions in I44.I don't think we'll see anything like that with any WW2 mod for arma 3, because all of them seem to require so much more development at this stage to even get to a basic release. Are you referring to IF? If so, what makes you say 'nobody played it'?
Do you have some sales figures? Personally I own IF but from what I remember it was plagued by buggy release (though it was patched), lack of campaign and unfortunate release date (many compared it unfavourably to the community-produced I44 & HiP). Many saw it as a mediocre release that could have been SO much better:In its defence, the quality was awesome, the problem was that its scope was pretty limited and it also focused on a relatively unpopular theatre of conflict (Eastern Front). What should have been a USP prolly reduced its attraction to many western gamers (no American, British nor Commonwealth troops). This was somewhat addressed through a later US-centric DLC.

I did plently of research for projects involving WW1 and the most common way to die was when going over the top to treck across no-mans land. The worst fact is the artillery used by the enemy was quite good at becoming sharpnal so if you managed to avoid the machine-guns you'd most likely take sharpnal in the leg and become immobile.
