Ashamed such great models and maps but no players, they should make it free so it gets used at least and those who paid for it can enjoy it

I have no idea if there are any MP players using the game as an Arma mod, but at least that should give you something to look into.

For those of us who like tinkering in the mission editor for SP purposes...Iron Front remains as good as it has ever been.

I was going to purchase the game when it was first released but it received negative reviews
Also the fact they used hit points for there armour modelling was a big no no for me.
With so many other aspects looking great how the hell did they screw up with the finished version.
I really thought the game would be huge..

Hit points is ARMA series bane for vehicles. And anything that uses the engine gets that handicap. =(

Incorrect. Iron Front does NOT use ArmA2's stock hit point system. It uses a penetration model based on contemporary Soviet research. You can fire 20+ rounds from a T-34/76 at the front of a Tiger 2 and do absolutely nothing to it, but set in on fire from the rear in a single shot. The model uses location-specific armour ratings, none of which are changed with successive hits. Rounds ricochet, vehicle fuel loads and ammo loads affect penetration results, the Tiger 2's lower quality armour welding is apparently accounted for...it all works pretty well.

As for ArmA2's armour, stick this in your scenarios and enjoy the results:

I think you need to put some more hyperbole in your thread title.
