The king of military sims finally goes to WW2 with Arma 3's Spearhead 1944

Just when I figured I was done with Arma 3, resigning myself to stepping away from the military simulation genre for a while to wait for the inevitable Arma 4, they find a way to drag me back in. That way is, of course, turning over the guttural Curtiss-Wright R-975 Whirlwind radial engine of a M4A1 Sherman tank to go blow up Nazis.

How can I resist this pitch? "Spearhead 1944 places you in the boots of the soldiers fighting to break out from a tenuous foothold in the hellish maze of the bocage to liberate occupied Normandy" and then also "Explore 150 km² of unique terrain, based on real locations and topography of North-West France." There have been WW2 mods in Arma 3 for years, but nothing like this.
