2024 I can say that it works great with Vindicta, as a polish person thank you for making 1944 RP possible with it, and not deleting this mod ;)

I see, thanks for the reply.

You can try working around that problem by using an ACE version without medical features like this one https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2158809703 There is also a ACE Armor Adjuster mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2849354160 maybe this mod can also help, but I can't be certain if it helps you would have to check it for yourself.

Hi, Like I mentioned a couple of times before, this mod is Discontinued and I won't be working on it anymore. As for the problem with immortal enemies, it's an old ACE Medical thing, when I first created those factions GEIST and FOW uniforms worked fine with older ACE and there weren't any problems with AI soaking bullets like sponges. At some point ACE updated and broke something with those uniforms and helmets, so at this point I would have to rework the whole mod to only use IFA, most units use some sort of uniforms, vest, backpack or headgear from GEIST and FOW, remaking them is not viable to me because it would take too much time to do so.

Don't use GEIST
Rowdy 8 Mar, 2023 @ 10:21pm 
Only happens with the Soviets or NKVD though
Rowdy 8 Mar, 2023 @ 9:53pm 
Shooting enemies in the head and it does nothing.
Rowdy 8 Mar, 2023 @ 9:40pm 
Can you update this as people have requested.
maleksi 6 Dec, 2022 @ 8:09am 
i cannot kill the enemy even with shooting at their head....
MarcelineMaeEye 13 Aug, 2022 @ 9:56pm 
Hey can you guys add aircraft since air assets have been allowed by base vindicta?
Aliwer 8 Jul, 2022 @ 8:47am 
I am having this one problem where I can damage and kill the enemy but I cannot take damage from them. Did anyone have a similar problem and fixed it?
Brentwood 28 Jun, 2022 @ 7:22am 
@MatrikSky Thanks for the quick response and fix, much appreciated!
MatrikSky  [author] 28 Jun, 2022 @ 6:48am 
Hi, thanks for letting me know about (IFA3 FOW Compat). I fixed it and now it should work without any problems. As for the IFA3, this mod doesn't require the old version, I fixed it back when new IFA3 was released.
Brentwood 27 Jun, 2022 @ 8:24pm 
Hey! Trying to use this mod but I'm unsure if I'll be able to due to one of the dependencies (IFA3 FOW Compat. patch FIX). The IFA3 it requires is the old version (now unavailable), any fix for this?
󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡Marc🦈 16 Jan, 2022 @ 5:48am 
Awesome.
󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡󠀡Marc🦈 15 Jan, 2022 @ 10:44pm 
Thanks for removing the FOW Compat patch requirement but... the IFA3 Ace Compat patch is still preventing from playing even with Ace PiR. Really hoping that you remove it as well so we can be able to select the WW2 factions in Vindicta. :steamthumbsup::jake:

Maybe link the FoW Ace Compat link it in the description instead as "required if using ace with medical" for those using ace medical.

IFA3 is coming out soon with their new big update. If you have the time and anything changes with factions, this could use another update. Thanks.

Can you remove the "Iron Front ArmA 3 : ACE 3 Compatibility patch" requirement?

I use PiR Ace (no Ace medical) and have no issues using the other faction mods for Vindicta.
But I am unable to use these WW2 factions in the Vindicta selection screen because of missing "IFA3 Ace3 compatibility patch" and "IFA3 FOW Compat Patch".

I'm using the seemingly more updated version of the FOW compact patch and maybe you could update the requirement to use it instead.
"Iron Front ArmA 3 Faces of War Compatibility patch FIX" - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2179152857

-- while also removing the requirement for the Ace3 compatibility patch. That might fix the problem for us who don't use Ace medical. :steamthumbsup::jake:
General Mayhem 10 Jan, 2022 @ 10:16pm 
Hi mate, just reaching out to let you know there is a new IFA3 Official page, which can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2648308937

The old page listed in your dependencies will be removed at the end of the month, so we are contacting creators to help mitigate issues or confusion later on.
Aramid 12 Dec, 2021 @ 5:14pm 
Is it possible to use ace without medical component with this mod ? It seems to not accept any other ACE mods.
lordkay32 10 Apr, 2021 @ 1:19am 
Hi, any chance of removing FOW from the dependencies? The voices are all wrong and its completely immersion breaking to hear Germans, Soviets etc with America voices. See this {LINK REMOVED}
Revy106 3 Apr, 2021 @ 9:04pm 
Do planes work for this WW2 fork?
Tanto the Indian 5 Mar, 2021 @ 6:40pm 
nice mod
Chad 28 Dec, 2020 @ 2:55pm 
Soviet Police I think is the NKWD
The Negever 26 Dec, 2020 @ 10:08am 
hey great mod but how do i get the soviet mp or police?
Jerry 13 Nov, 2020 @ 2:41am 
yes I understand. Thanks for making this mod anyways!
Siyah Qalam 12 Nov, 2020 @ 5:39pm 
Sure thing. Good luck with life and thanks for the fun mod, I hope we see you again soon.
MatrikSky  [author] 12 Nov, 2020 @ 4:29pm 
Some of you guys probably already noticed but this mod is on a hold. I will probably get back to it around Late December but it's not guaranteed. Again thanks for subscribing. As for the questions @Wolf Sorry but Italy won't be added to the mod, reason? Zero models or units to use for such faction. @Padre Yes I have thought about using Eastern Collaborators but at this stage I don't want to add more required mods to the list. @Vulpecula Thanks for the kind word bud it sure gives me courage. @Jerry I do want to update Staszow and bring other ww2 maps to the game mode. Unfortunately I don't have much spare time to work on the map markups. If the other maps somehow don't work you should report it to Sparker on the main Vindicta discord.
Jerry 12 Nov, 2020 @ 1:43am 
Update please Staszow and other maps dont work now that vindicta alpha has been updated
Vulpecula 6 Nov, 2020 @ 12:58pm 
Great work! I am eagerly waiting for your IFA3 only mod.
Siyah Qalam 15 Oct, 2020 @ 8:43am 
Have you thought about adding this faction for police? Just a guess, but these people would make perfect police for an Eastern Front Vindicta campaign on Staszow:

Grey Wolf 24 Sep, 2020 @ 3:06pm 
italy???
MatrikSky  [author] 6 Sep, 2020 @ 5:13am 
@Vassallo_Di_Barbero It's Vindicta no such features exist in it... Just read what Vindicta is about and don't ask stupid questions. :steamfacepalm:
Combine 2 Sep, 2020 @ 2:57am 
in which factions can you play with inside the game?
Can I be in the german/soviet army or do I have to be a civilian?
MatrikSky  [author] 27 Aug, 2020 @ 5:46am 
@maverick I will release the update today or tomorrow depend on how the work goes :P
Ozjash 27 Aug, 2020 @ 5:19am 
@maverick Cool, are you on the devs discord? It would be nice if we explained how it's done, or at least showed the path to this file.
It is sick when on the back of my truck there are 3 rebels in costumes of eastern priests with a panzershreck on their back xD
derek 26 Aug, 2020 @ 5:58pm 
Also @MatrikSky what is the timeline looking on the Afrika Korps MP faction? I plan on wiping my server and using that as soon as it drops
derek 26 Aug, 2020 @ 5:57pm 
@Komosa if you want to edit the .sqf files you can change the civilians to where there are no civilians of certain types though
MatrikSky  [author] 26 Aug, 2020 @ 1:30pm 
@Komosa Unfortunately you can't change them. The uniforms are randomly generated from Civilian faction uniforms.
Ozjash 25 Aug, 2020 @ 6:02pm 
Is it possible to change the uniforms of recruited insurgents? I play in Staszów, and when I see a freshly baked recruit in a suit or a snow-white medical coat, I am very confused xD
MatrikSky  [author] 24 Aug, 2020 @ 4:33pm 
@maverick Unfortunately the US Army release will be delayed because I decided to split the faction in two. Also, I will be removing the SAB SW from the dependencies and replace it with mod that will add more equipment for the US Army and the Military Police. The next update will be huge and might unfortunately brake some saves, so for those who still want to play their current campaign I suggest making a local copy of the current mod version 1.7. Sorry for inconvenience. Cheers lads :cozycrashfish:
MatrikSky  [author] 24 Aug, 2020 @ 2:37pm 
@maverick I use every vehicle from the IFA and some vehicles from FOW and GEIST. You can find all the vehicles that I'm using in the Eden editor, if you want exact classname list send me a private message on the Discord. You can find me on the official Vindicta Discord https://discord.com/invite/CPkgHuN .
derek 24 Aug, 2020 @ 2:21pm 
Awesome! Would it be possible to know what vehicles are allowed to spawn in for the IFA factions though? I assume you specify the types and Vindicta spawns them in.
MatrikSky  [author] 24 Aug, 2020 @ 1:57pm 
@maverick The Vehicle usage is set in Vindicta code I can't change it in this addon. Some vehicles should start appearing after certain enemy aggression level (don't know specific level because it's dynamic), if the're not appearing at high aggression level it is a bug and you should report it to the devs on their Discord. About the US Army and MP the update is really close I only need to test the Factions locally and see if they cause any errors. Thanks for the kind words I really hope you'll enjoy the next update, cheers mate :D
derek 23 Aug, 2020 @ 6:37pm 
I have seen exactly 1 tank in maybe 30 hours of play, and no halftracks/APCs
derek 23 Aug, 2020 @ 6:37pm 
Eagerly awaiting the US Army/MP factions! Amazing work, I am loving the WWII factions so far. Is armor/APC usage controlled from this mod's end or from Vindicta's end? I did notice that sending halftracks or armored transports and tanks is extremely uncommon, despite the abundance of AT options.
MatrikSky  [author] 22 Aug, 2020 @ 3:15pm 
@Vel I would love to add Imperial Japanese Army but unfortunately there aren't any IJA vehicles in FOW.
Vel-an-Elf 19 Aug, 2020 @ 7:57pm 
any plans to add Japanese factions
FallenTurtle 9 Aug, 2020 @ 1:20pm 
yea I got it confused with overthrow but thanks for the quick reply!
MatrikSky  [author] 9 Aug, 2020 @ 3:51am 
@Fallenturtle There aren't any shops in this mod. This mod simply adds ww2 factions to Vindicta mod. Maybe you confused my mod with a ww2 mod for Overthrow.
FallenTurtle 9 Aug, 2020 @ 12:19am 
I cant find any of the shops or anything like that, is it supposed to be that way?
