Join the Invasion!
After years of inaction, whispered rumors, and a growing silence from the East, the United States rallies to arms. The invasion of Europe has begun! Invasion 1944 v2.61, or i44 as we call it, is a total modification for Arma 2: Combined Operations and brings the European frontlines of World War 2 to this already impressive military simulator. Developed by the Invasion 1944 Team, i44 is the culmination of years of experience, and the very best addons the Arma community has to offer all rolled into a stunningly playable package.
Players take on the roles of US soldiers such as the 1st & 29th Infantry Division, the 5th Ranger Battalion, the 82nd & 101st Parachute Infantry Regiment, as well as units from the British Infantry Airborne Division and British Commandos, and of course, many German units. Fifteen fully modeled WW2 era planes darken the skies in tense aerial combat including the Hawker Typhoon and Hawker Hurricane, the Spitfire, Mustang, Thunderbolt, and many more. The B-17 Flying Fortress has fully working gunner positions - I have yet to witness a landing as the ball gunner, and I hope the landing gear works when I do! With full head tracking and TrackIR support, dog fighting over active battlefields is like a dream come true for fighter plane enthusiasts.

The AI units on both sides behave with a highly upgraded and reworked system, making for "alive" battlegrounds with friendly AI you can count on, and enemy AI you can truly fear! Not just one-shot headshot bots, either - the ballistics of Arma 2 have received new coding for i44, too. Over 30 period weapons fire accurately with correct recoil, reload animations, proper bullet drop and lethality ranges. Combined with the new in-game user interfaces for wounding, tactical movement animations, weapons resting for accuracy, bayonets, hand signals, improved weapons and character selection, and spawn point dialog boxes, and you have yourself what feels like an entirely new game!
If you have ever put down Arma 2 because it seemed a bit too in-depth, or even complicated and harder to play - Invasion 1944 is a game modification you have got to try. Everything works the way you would imagine it should - that is the true beauty of this game mod. The tank turrets turn at appropriate speeds, the gunner has full ranging adjustments and ammunition variants, and all positions in the tanks are fully usable, down to the loader. We're talking over 50 World War 2 vehicles playable in over 30 pre-made multiplayer missions by the Invasion 1944 Team, and even more content made by the community!
VETERANS-GAMING is proud to announce our new Invasion 1944 public server! Open to everyone, we plan to host a variety of missions including member made missions such as a winter POW rescue mission behind enemy lines, and a B-17 bombing and escort mission over the skies of Europe!
