To achieve maximum compatibility with already created OFP missions the classnames used are exactly the same as in OFP. Bonus content however will use the CWR2_ tag.

That means when using the CWR Mod the default ArmA units will be replaced by CWR ones. It also means that your OFP missions will work with little to no changes.

In theory you can do this, however since we're using the Xbox missions too there are errors because of no more existing sounds which are not played then.
