Raid on Makin Atoll - Aug. 17th, 1942 | World at War Pt. 1 | (Realism Mod)

Описание: August 17th, 1942 - Nine months after the Attack on Pearl Harbor brings the US into World War II, the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion launches a surprise assault on Makin Atoll in the Gilbert Islands. Their objective - destroy the Imperial Japanese installations there, gather intelligence on the islands, and divert Japanese attention and reinforcements from the ongoing Guadalcanal campaign.

Finally back in the playthrough business after two long years! I've been wanting to do a playthrough of World at War for some time now. For immersion and authenticity's sake, I'll be doing this playthrough with limited music, with the HUD shut off (aside from in Vendetta as the game considers the scope overlay part of the HUD), and above all, using FeReise's incredible series of realism mods, which replaces or retextures most of the game's uniforms, weapons, and vehicles to be much more accurate and authentic to the battles being depicted. Particularly on this mission, among other changes, Imperial Japanese Navy uniforms have been added to reflect the IJN forces garrisoning Makin Atoll, and the US Marine Raiders have been given period accurate black uniforms, as well as authentic early war yellow-painted Mk 2 pineapple grenades. Like many, I discovered this fantastic series of mods through TheFrosty1's video about it, which does a great job explaining all of the various changes and improvements. I'll link that below, as well as the mods themselves. Finally, I'm using a very old sound mod called the KP Sound Mod, which replaces many of the base game's sound effects with much better effects from various movies, TV shows, and games. For reasons explained below, I will sadly not be providing a link to this mod.

I unfortunately cannot link the KP, or Knokploeg Sound Mod, as I personally cannot find a reputable link to it anymore. It's a very old, relatively obscure mod as far as I can tell. I downloaded it a long time ago. It's a shame as it's an excellent mod that does a lot to fix and improve the (imo) very weak and unrealistic sound effects of the base game. If anyone really wants it, I guess you'll just have to search for it on your own and see if its still out there. As with any file, be very wary of where you're downloading it from if you do manage to find it.
