I am just curious as to why the total realism mod is called such as I find it very unrealistic. In terms of the newly created trsm campaign why on earth does the 10th SS appear at the merville batteries to counter-attack on the 7th when it historically didnt arrive along with the 9th until around the time of Epsom. Similarly why does the 5th guards Armoured Brigade appear on the beaches so early when it arrived late June? Even more baffling is that in spite of these units arriving so early, the 51st Highland Division arrives several days late even thought it started disembarking on June 7th. Similar thing for the 2nd Panzer Division. For some reason Ost units have MG34's yet the actual German coastal units only have French MG's. Why give your Ost Mg 34's and not your actual German troops? Then we have Shermans that are in the Airborne BG's on the first day of the campaign. I assume a hamilcar can carry them or maybe they were para dropped in. Why is there a para section comprised entirely of SMG's, have they turned into the russians all of a sudden? Shermans also seem impenetrable unless you hit them side on, even if its a 7.62 captured russian gun firing at them. The list could go on and on. I can understand modding a game to your preferences, but why call it a total realism mod when it is anything but?

Maybe coz Ost units were formed, equipped and fought on EF until mid 1943 and then were transferred to France? And maybe becoz 716.ID was raised in 1941 as static?

in TRSM Paras get some armored support from 8th of June - tell us what is unrealistic here?
