From the stream page

Join the French Interior Forces and the French Liberation Army, which not only used the foreign weapons, grenades and mines at their disposal but also have their own unique weapons like the FM Mle. 1924 M29, Fusil Mle. 208 12G and the Sten Mk.II suppressed and unsuppressed

#

If this DLC keeps populated servers, it may be my replacement to HLL and PS

Nice! for the Axis I’m hoping there’ll be P08, MP 18/MP 28, MP 34/MP 35, MG 15, MG 34, FG 42, M30 Luftwaffe drilling, MKb 42, FG 42, Gewehr 98 and Gewehr 41 in addition to the usual P38, Kar 98k, MP 38/MP 40, MG 42 and StG 44!

#

Also would be cool to have the M1941 Johnson rifle and Browning Auto 5 for the US forces lol

#

You Would need another map. This DLC is focused on Operation Cobra and the capture of Saint Lo

latent raven
#

Especially one featuring British, Canadian and ANZAC forces!

pallid bloom
latent raven
#

Well it shows the British are involved lol

pallid bloom
#

ANZAC was pulled out of Europe by 1944. All you had was air squadrons. It was mainly was in the Pacific theater around the time period of this CDLC. All that was really around was anywhere close was New Zealand in Italy

latent raven
#

British and Canadians then!

pallid bloom
#

If you want the Commonwealth, then you would want a Operation Goodwood expansion with the capture of Caen

latent raven
#

Why are the French included then?

pallid bloom
#

Because the the French Resistance. A lot of French Resistance units got folded into the Free French Army when the Invasion happened

latent raven
#

Right. Will there be Fallschirmjager on the Axis side?

sturdy raptor
#

see the wiki

latent raven
#

no mention of what exactly the axis will have but I’m guessing fallschirmjager, waffen-ss, panzergrenadiers and regular wehrmacht infantry?

sturdy raptor

keep guessing, because that's all the info we have

#

So I wonder what the 5 factions are.
We have the US, Germans, and Free French.
Both the web page and the steam page seem to highlight civilians as it's own thing for it it like "5 factions and civilians"

Maybe the UK in one of the side operations to protect Cobra's flank. Well we will know when we know.

two resistance/partisan factions?

Is the dlc going to be censored, so without certain german symbols, or no? I saw that the german plane on the store page lacked the tail marking so i was curious.

I really looking forward to this CDLC, but I would like more information about static artillery weapons, in the screenshots I saw only the pak-40 75 mm, at the same time the Nashorn is available to us, does this mean that we will see the pak-43 88 mm? I would also like to see 15 cm sFH 18 on the side of the Wehrmacht

all the information available at the time is present on the Steam page

Fow is cool, but it's nothing amazing

#

As I said, cool but nothing amazing

#

The weapons and vehicle quality isn't on par with something professional devs have worked in for 5 yara

#

Years

latent raven
#

True, there’s mods like RHS and RACS anyway

versed grove
#

Not ww2?

latent raven
#

Yep

versed grove
#

Racs is amazing, rhs has good equipment but I find the vests and uniforms all look very clean and fresh, not like what soldiers will actually carry in the field

latent raven
#

there’s CSA ‘38 and 1937 East Asian War mods though

versed grove
#

Personally I prefer vests when they look more cluttered and heavy, it feels more soldierlike

latent raven
#

ohh and Northern Fronts too

versed grove
latent raven
versed grove
#

Yeah or the devs have worked in on it

#

Nf is high quality

#

And we gave the prairie fire team working on it as well, people like Bob Murphy and whiplash

latent raven
#

personally I’m more interested with battles and campaigns involving Japan, Italy and the other minor Axis forces when it comes to WWII

versed grove
#

Well that's a niche thing, maybe Japan less so but still niche

#

There are more people invested in the typical US vs Germany Western front, it makes it more worthwhile

latent raven
#

I mean, Italy was quite active in several fronts but yes, I’d say Western front is just too oversaturated

versed grove
#

Italy were active but the Germans has more influence, eg their weapons and equipment was used in more places then the Italian equiptment

#

Making it more versatile

#

I would also like to see Italy but it would be more niche and less appealing to people

latent raven
#

True but when it comes to Germans as the enemy, I’d prefer Eastern Front and North Africa/Mediterranean

versed grove
#

I would also like eastern front, but as whichever faction possible

#

The Russian has some pretty shit stuff which I personally don't like playing with

latent raven
#

North Africa and the Mediterranean are much more interesting for me when it comes to Allied campaigns

versed grove
#

For you

#

Not for everyone or even most people

vapid wren
#

Even though I can't say I don't hate Western Front (because I worked on HOW barely 😁) I've found out Pacific Front is not really saturated in any games or maybe movies, especially from Japanese' perspective. Same goes for modern/contemporary Japan (offtopic but) I'd really like to see one

latent raven
#

Yes but Western Front is just too overdone so not sure how people don’t get bored of it.

versed grove
#

Good equipment

#

Its well balanced in video games with modern players playstyle and mindset so it stays replayable

latent raven
#

Same old equipment

versed grove
#

It if was a bloody wipe out or a bloody victory at most, people wouldn't want to play country's like Japan because it would be reparative

#

Repetitive

versed grove
vapid wren
#

One thing why I want Japaneses in war games is how they would depict us/our grandfathers

versed grove
#

Probably in a pretty stereotypical way

latent raven
vapid wren
#

World at War and Rising Storm (1) did really a great depict

#

I know yeah, (Tennō Heika) Banzai maybe accurate but boring in the same time

latent raven
#

People are probably going to want more than just the same old US and German stuff at some point

versed grove
#

At some point yes, but this amazing for a brand new cdlc,especially for such a new game

#

It will do

latent raven
#

Sure since some of the WWII firearms can be used for Cold War era

versed grove
versed grove
latent raven
#

Then maybe it can spice things up by adding female resistance members?

versed grove
#

How would that make any difference

#

They shoot they die regardless of gender

latent raven
#

Well, it gives female users the option to play as a female character if they so wish to do so.

#

And more variety for role-playing.

versed grove
#

I suppose

#

Doesn't affect the variety of equipment which is what we were talking about

latent raven
#

whatever

vagrant nymph
# latent raven Well it shows the British are involved lol

Only shows Monty as Monty was in overall command of Allied ground forces during D-day, the Brits and Canadians were still Tied up with the battle for Caen (they had captured the city by this point but hadnt made any significant breakthroughs in that sector but in turn were tying down a lot of German units, so when The yanks launched operation Cobra it led to an overall allied break out from Normandy).

latent raven

USA! USA! USA!

versed grove

Also most wemon involved in the movement would have been intelligence or non combatant

#

Especially Americans yeah

#

And a lot of people from western Europe

versed grove
#

Maybe that's part of the reason SOGPF is liked so much, because it feels .. more relatable in a sense?

#

Like it's closer

#

To the average Americans background

jolly ridge
#

SOGPF also adds at least in my opinion more in depth content then the other DLCs

Also it was the first new DLC after contact which released almost two years earlier

I just hope this receives updates like sog where we get more factions and equipment

#

The absolute ideal would be that the CDLC teams cooperated to prevent duplication of efforts and shared - if not asssets then expertise. So that, because there will naturally be a huge overlap of WW2 and Cold War assets, each team can ensure that novel additions are made, growing the overall content library. Having said that, of course each CDLC has to be self-contained and can't require that the others be purchased to feel complete. I only mean that, for example, it would be prudent for this release and future Spearhead releases to have say, Chafees, M29 Weasels and other French Equipment so that, yes they all fill out the Normandy campaign, but with assets already in SOG, come a long way to greatly filling out the French War in Indochina and the adivsory period ARVN of Vietnam.

I have no idea how feasable this is or what the relationship between different CDLC teams is, it would just be a shame to see the same vehicles or weapons modelled 4 times in ways that aren't compatable and require either the Weapon Balance Mod or an ACE Compat to work interchangably.

lavish forum
#

lots of words

uneven zinc
winged willow
#

Take your hopes and kick them away

#

Cause it won't happen

#

CDLCs can't have dependencies on other DLCs. And it's not like they can backtrack themselves now after announcement and be like "oh, no more Spearhead, we're giving all our stuff to SOG for integration"

#

And I'm sure noone would be interested in that

#

Each team has their own art styles, vision and direction

Pretty much all we can hope is that the assets are on par with SOG's quality standard

trail latch
# wanton carbon Tbh i dont see why it should be censored, those symbols are allowed to be in gam...

This information isn’t right.
Since 2k18 those symbols aren’t right away forbidden for new games. This means that usually you won’t get any problems if you publish new games that aren’t celebrating the Nazi symbols.
However games that are older usually can ask now to publish the original version. The problem with ArmA and CDLCs in that case can be that Spearhead in this case isn’t the original content but neither a new game on its own making it a very weird exception.
I think there wouldn’t be problems uploading it with the logos but it’s not right away allowed

stable imp

I think is mostly china,isreal, belarus that ban it

wanton carbon

the problem with having symbols from Germany in games is that today people are snowflakes and will complain about it until its removed or "cancelled"

yeah i understand that they use pz 3,4 and 6 because they were the most used but i can also get them through dlcs

sadly it was quite a big target

also i would love to see the casemate tds. like stug 3, jagdpanzer 4, jagdpanther

#

those that were actually in use

urban kettle
# stable imp sadly it was quite a big target

true however the armour was insane, the tiger 2 featured at THE tank museum was shot at twice by a Sherman firefly, it sustained minimal damage, best bet was to outrun them and their engine breaks!

stable imp
#

that is true

trail latch
#

late war germany had big problems with resources. they often used other armor than was actually planned because of shortages

urban kettle
stable imp
#

the Germans sort of overcomplicated things with their vehicles

urban kettle

stable imp
#

watching the tank chats on the King Tiger and it seems the engine wasn't broken, infact the thing was perfectly fine after the 2 hits

i hope that this cdlc includes more tank versions, i would like a sherman dozer or crab a DD version is a must as well!

stable imp
#

the Sherman Calliope is coming

trail latch
#

calliope looks so weird

#

but yeah i hope for some of the lesser used tanks which we dont find in mods

#

and i really hope for interior

stable imp
#

because this CDLC is set on Operation Cobra and Normandy we're restircted to what vehicles were used in Normandy at the time

#

so I'd say the King Tiger would be the very most Germany would get in the CDLC

trail latch
#

not sure

#

despite the Tiger II is well known it didnt make up a big part of the Wehrmacht.
Dont get me wrong, i would love to see it

urban kettle
#

i will just be happy that the assets have higher fidelity, IFA3 looks really aged

stable imp
#

about 144 to 156 Tigers were in normandy

trail latch
#

but somehow i fear we wont see tank defenses

trail latch
stable imp
#

both

#

some Tiger 2s in Normandy had the Porche turret while some had the Hentchel

trail latch
#

henschel turret was way cooler

urban kettle
urban kettle
stable imp
#

Porche Turret had a trapshot effect at the front of the turret so allied guns that couldn't penetrate would bounce into the light armor roof of the vehicle

#

plus the commanders hatch was difficult to make thanks to how awkward the turret was designed

trail latch
#

just from looking at the numbers it would make sense to get Panzer II - VI

stable imp
#

yeah the 3 and 4s were the most common tank of the German military at the time

trail latch
#

especially the 4

stable imp
#

we're getting I think 3 or 4 varients of the Panzer 4 in the CDLC

trail latch
#

both were also the ones which were reused for tank defenses

stable imp
#

so was the panther

#

would love to see the Panzerturm or Pantherturm bunker as an asset in the game

#

even the french had a few

trail latch
#

would like to see stugs or jagdpanzer IV

stable imp

I'm glad the Nashorn is coming

Spearhead's focus is directly on the units that participated during the operation afaik

stoic badge
#

Well I can’t find any evidence of Nashorns operated in op cobra. Schwere Panzerjäger Abteilung 654 was the only unit of its type in the area at that time and they previously fielded Nashorns but had transitioned to Jagdpanthers prior to arriving at the front on the 29th June. So any unit or equipment is feasible 🤷‍♂️

jolly ridge
#

I tried looking it up, and I find it funny that records of Nashorns in the western front is almost non existent.

It's always mentioned that some were sent to the western front but doesn't say when. With the only solid thing being that some were used during the Ardennes.

Though I did read somewhere that apparently the panzer lehr division arrived in France with 4 of em, but I can't find more then that.

It’s certainly an interesting choice of vehicle to add, particularly in light of the terrain setting of the cdlc. Not exactly suited to fighting in hedgerows. I’m interested to hear the reasoning for the choice once the devs can talk about those things

at the end of the day, by buying a CDLC you are supporting community members, that are just like everyone else here, but who have worked on community content and for the community for years out of passion. CDLCs are an opportunity to allow them to grow further as developers, and to recognise and acknowledge their journey merely out of love and passion for the game we all play here; and that's a journey that anyone here could embark on themselves any day, and I think that, is awesome.

As a developer, I understand that a product can be free only in the early stages. Its not hard to create something amazing
But to maintain it, it takes a lot of time to improve. You won't get far on love for the game
The author of the mod will simply abandon it at some stage if he does not receive benefits from it and leaves to do what makes money
Everyone wants to eat, buy something for themselves and so on.

And here's where it gets interesting now this DLC IS coming;
S & S/US GEAR mod + SH:1944 + SOG:PF = a lot of badass and High Quality Korean War Ops in the future. Only sad part is the only good maps for them are Norwegian maps from Northern Fronts mod.

Still, the real question is which DLC guns will make the cut... I guess I'll need to test which is better... the M1 from SOG vs '44 here.

(Wait, Ghost, which M1? Rifle, Carbine, SMG, The Helmet?!)

how am I trolling anyone here? you keep dancing around the question what is the difference between paid mods and a cdlc. its solely a marketing buzzword in my eyes. and that is totally debatable on quality there are many mods which have better quality than the cdlc content, for example the polygon count for the CSLA is very low, the steering wheel is made up of something like a 24 sided circle, in SOG the Maljuta is saclos and does not simulate a correct flight profile not to mention how in real life the early control units for portable use was MCLOS aka guided in by a joystick, pooks atgm mod is more accurate and i think RHS as well.

# blissful mirage He already said SOG sucked. Like, we get it dude, you dislike things.

The funny thing is that the things he dislikes are perhaps the things that other Arma 3 fans like the most... like SOG for example which is almost universally regarded as a masterpiece. Even if you don't like the time period at least be able to respect the labor of love the devs have putted into said projects.

And regarding Spearhead specifically, not only the dev team deserves at least the benefit of the doubt regarding their work but I also can't complement enough that they are brining many many features that we wished for so long to be a part of vanilla Arma like coop campaigns (multiplayer), the custom revive system and specially the hip fire system and wall avoidance!!!! It is the CDLCs which are bringing Arma 3 into the modern era regarding modern features.

Gameplay is really good, the map is very intense and creates a lot of claustrophobia. It's not quite as bad as Vietnam in terms of spotting, but I like what the devs have done from a terrain design POV. Every pocket of fied/hedgerow is your fighting area, and with some reduced view distance, the peformence is really good considering the map is huge and full of folage.

Hey guys, Ive got a quick question (and hope this is the right spot to ask lol) regarding the hedge rows with the "dirt wall" underneath that are all over the map: do AI units walk over/ through these hedges or will they try to walk around them? I know Arma AI can be a bit weird with these things

if there are no holes, AI wil go around

add the warlords mission name to your mission rotation, WL_16_SPE_Warlords_SPE_Normandy.SPE_Normandy

it's mainly a problem with spotting, aircraft suck at spotting infantry

better off using the CAS module if you want planes to strafe infantry, they will eventually but they're not very good at it

Small tip, make sure your server viewdistance is set to something sensible (like 800m or less) to have decent frames. Obv depends on rig, but I have a 4080 / high spec and was struggle with about 20/30. Then realised the server view distance was set to 1500m 😮

Is there not a mod with an Overlord beach? I am sure someone will do something with that, and pretty sure people will combine Spearhead 1944 with IFA3 and FOW

not sure what do you want to compare, assets seem to be on par, map would Post Scriptum-ish because the landscape isn't as complicated and detailed as HLL maps. with gamemodes IDK, definitely not worse I guess

# versed grove Immersion, historical accuracy, realism.

Immersion mileage may vary, I find Arma milsim servers more immersive than anything in Squad or HLL, even though both those look a lot better, because Arma's assets, mission building and mod sets are just miles ahead. Some just want the pretty graphics for immersion, so depends on how you define that term

#

For historical accuracy and realism HLL is trash, so Spearhead would need like bare minimum to beat it, which I'm sure it will when Mike Force-level servers get running. Might be a minute for that though

Gold standard for CDLC multiplayer capabilities in Arma - I'm sure Spearhead will get there but like I said, it might take a minute for the community to build them to that level with consistent server levels. I don't remember how long it took Mike Force servers to really get rolling
