Iron Front for ARMA III?

[IronX]

I've never played Iron Front, but it looks interesting. Has anyone played this with ARMA III?

I'm assuming it's a mod, but do you also need to own the original Iron Front game as well as ARMA III? It's confusing...

Weird.. used to play co-oop with SDR and some others on SimHQ for the original Iron Front, it was a lot of fun!

Well if it's ARMA 3 then it will be smoother.  I haven't tried.
Old Iron Front was clunky as hell.

Based on this post, you have two choices.

Thanks! Looks like you do need both games and when patched the Iron Front game is converted into a mod for Arma 3.

[Skoop]

The lite is the free mod version with ugly textures.  If you own IF, you get the better texture version to the mod, there's a conversion tool that does this.

From what I here the IF fans that still play it weekly prefer the vanilla because the armor physics and hit/ damage system is superior in vanilla.

Cool. I might just try and give the lite version a go.

Here's an updated full-game installation guide for anyone interested:
