The Big Three - WWII Fixes Mod

Description
Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen!
With Spearhead being released in July, many complained that it did not have much content so I took it upon myself to balance the very best of the WWII mods into a single gameplay experience based around IFA to give everyone something cool while we wait patiently for the SPE team to make content.

Models and sounds that are somewhat lackluster have been replaced.
Vehicles that have models that have gone unused for years now have life
Ballistic damage qualities have been changed to better balance out infantry combat.
Weapons are used more realistically by AI units with proper firing rates.
Redundancies present across all mods have been hidden or have been reorganized into single categories for ease of use and simple mission file making.
Old Units now have edited or completely rewritten weapons with new sounds.
Some Ace medical items have been reskinned to their WWII era counter parts.
Custom Explosives created.

WWII Arma gameplay is plagued by 4-5 different development POVs and each focuses on different content with a different gameplay balance for each one, this creates a problem several of these mods are used together (eg. FOW M4A2 being unkillable by the IFA Tiger II) This mod aims to create a unified balance and gameplay so we can all experience this era as easy as possible and with the most consistent gameplay values and rules. All new units, vehicles and static weapons can be found simply in the clearly named.

This mod is by no means finished, missing are several aircraft and the majority of the pacific content.

This mod's main goal is to create the ultimate WWII experience building off of the hard work of the best WWII mods and fix some of the long reported bugs and issues they all have. Check the discussions tab for the full list of changes!

I have yet to update this mod and at this time, yes there is a dependency

Hi, are you able to remove the JSRS soundmod dependency, so we can use different sound mods?
or do you have configs depending on JSRS?
also note there is a new version of JSRS out - JSRS 2025

Any idea why T-34 from this mod does not have DT machinegun ammo?

Hello it's a great mod and I can't thank you enough for merging those mods all together, however only thing that bothers me is JSRS. Because JSRS is an outdated and problematic mod. It has known for random crashes on players specifically on Vehicles. If any chance AMZ instead of JSRS update would be happen it'd be wonderful. Or a version without JSRS at all. Other than that I truly enjoy using this mod.

I appreciate both your kind words, however in regards to sounds I created the sounds for most of the small arms combined with sounds from JSRS. If you want different sounds or specifically JSRS feel free to make a compat.

Agree on everything the guy below me said, thanks for this - its probably quite boring work but makes a big difference. If you're looking for feedback, is there a way to rather keep using JSRS sounds for the weapons added by this mod? It's a bit odd that its a dependency, but because the mod weapons I guess are new, the JSRS IFA/FWA patches and stuff don't affect them. I'm finding it quite hard to play with the current sounds to be honest.

Hey man, just wanted to swing by and drop a big thanks for keeping this mod updated and running. Saw that there was a big break and I feared that the mod might've fallen to the wayside, but glad you're still keeping it up and running!

Some homogenization amongst all the WW2 mods is sorely needed, and thanks for brining it. With a lot of the dev work ceasing across the board on for all WW2 mods, a mod that gets them all under the same roof and makes them place nicely together is fucking rad.
