I try to give you a short but brief description of the "Real Warfare Modification" for Sudden Strike 2, to get your interest for this fabulous Mod.
The latest Version "RWM 6.8" was made by Barbarossa and Zeitgeist.
The aim is to build a way more realistic gaming experience than in the normal Sudden Strike environment and the Mod got quite a few years of steady advancement and enhancement.
Basically there are a lot of changes, ranging from totally new models, objects, sounds and therefore gameplay experience.
When you play it, you'll see that a lot of work and fine tuning was put into it, to get the most out of it.
The damage model, (if you hit an enemy tank by the front, side or back) the range tanks and paks can fire,the different movement speed of units (russian tanks are faster than germans) and of course that for example a normal Sherman or T34 cant damage a Tiger tank when hitting them in front, make this Mod very interesting to play. This is one point, that will force the player to use strategies, other than just rush into the enemy lines. In this coherence the player is as well forced to use infantry when attacking. That is another thing i personally really like about this Mod. The infantry is not just "cannon fodder" but really important if you want to succes in battle. Officers that provide sight are very important to peak out enemy positions and movement. MG-Troops provide defens from enemy infantry attacking your Paks and can of course used very good in attacking as well. Bazooka infantry can get really dangerous for enemy tanks, if they are not guarded by infantry themselves. All in all there is a vast majority of different infantry types (ranging from german Volkssturm to Waffen-SS for example), tanks, planes and Paks, making the game more complex and powerfull and therefore providing a lot of tactics one can use.
So it is not guaranteed that like in most other games the player with the "most units" can win a battle. Ive seen it a lot of times that the Team that looked like loosing, still could turn the luck and win, making the gameplay very exciting and unpredictable.
And above that it really looks totally nice, as a lot of work was put into creating very nice units, explosions, mg-tracers etc.. There are as well new schemes for maps, new objects and obstacles included, that give you a lot of eye candy to see.
On top pf it RWM is rounded up with really nice and realistic sounds of MG-fire,Artillery, grenade launchers and Tiger Tanks and Stalins, roaring when driving into battle.
I personally play RWM for some years now and can tell you that it never got boring, because theres still not another game that gives the credibility, tactical options and exciting moments RWM gave to me.
All in all i would really encourage you to give RWM a try and to assure yourself of the great fun factor playing it.
We would really appreciate new players joining the "RWM-Movement"
and play with us on the realistic created battlefields of WWII. In the End were all Sudden Strike fans, so lets unite. "If you like Sudden Strike, regardless which part of the series, you will see what’s really possible with RWM installed on top of Sudden Strike 2! I’m speaking of one of the most exciting and haunting game-experiences ever of my 17year gaming career. Adrenaline, satisfaction, panic, revenge, deceitfulness, surprise and enjoyment will no longer be unknown – if you give the game a chance."
