Purple Heart Lane 64

Yes, it block bullets (tested in singleplay), or at least they leave visible marks on the box. At least fired from outside. However, crawl in it and fire a riflenade, and the nade bursts at the outer side of the box, but since the box is "between" you and the nade, it will not hurt you. Didn't have the patience to wait for bot attack and test further.

It is not a bug but it is intended by the maker of them. They have no collisions because otherwise players would start complaining they get stuck to every little object scattered around. It is just bad placement by the mapper.

[Natty]

Yes, it was not intended to have many of them stacked like that. The collision was removed after the map was made, so... both bad placement but also bad planning/communication.
seems like a critical bug though if it is inside the CZ and you can spam nades from inside, still protected... 

[:| Hi]

SINCE THERE IS NO PHL 32 THREAD...


Was playing WOLF and grabbed a shotgun, my god the ambience is amazing. Props to the devs, shotguns also sound amazing too.  Had great fun turning a corner in Vernah from WaW and having a shotung duel, with semi-synchronized blasts until we killed each other at the same time. Awesome map.

This route should be blocked.

NON I think not!

One squad can acomplish what 32 players cant on that map

And one stationary Axis soldier with a Smine can ruin the entire squad

Exactly. If the devs wanted to totally block that off, they would have

[ajappat]

I agree with tosh. If dev's wanted to make path there, why make it so that you go out of bounds half the route? Intended or not, it sucks.

There is just one thing that bothers me, along with other maps

The americans are the attackers
The germans are the defenders

The germans get=A flak 88 with 2 mortars. Then a nebelwerfer with 2 mortars. And on the end of the map they still get a mortar pick up kit

The americans get just one mortar... When in reality, the 502'nd had 75mm Pack howitzers and M3 105mm airborne howitzers.

And we all know how seriously difficult it is to assault the defenses on this map when both teams are proper equipped with skilled players. I experienced this many times on Hslan

What i suggest=
-Add in the future a 75 or 105mm airborne howitzer in Ami mainbase
-Give it a range just sufficient to reach That one flag with the nebelwerfer
-Americans capture Point No 4(flak 88 position) and the 2 mortars near the flag gets locked
-Allow a second 75 or 105 to spawn near No 4 bridge with range for the rest of flags

I know its very difficult to see something properly suggested for the allies, but its just stupid to give the germans more artillery when IRL they lacked proper artillery. Villers-bocage is another example. The germans get a LEFH18, Stuka zu fuss, Wespe and 3 mortar kits. While the allies get 2 stationary mortars in mainbase with limited range.

Americans already win way more than germans on the map, cant give them more advantages

My suggestion actually gives the germans a better fighting chance later on. As then the ami's only have one artillery piece, instead of the 2 captured nebelwerfers and US mortar.

They can also use the german mortars. Whatis your obsession with equipment anyway? On a map liek this where there is a clear progression it makes zero difference.

Its the US airborne. they used airborne equipment?
FH2 was all about historical accuracy right??
The airborne howitzers can also be used on Bastogne and where actually used by regular army units aswel

[McCloskey]

Can we change Engineers' and NCOs' kits to the ones with M1A1 Carbines, please. I can understand why there aren't correct playermodels, but why after 4 releases there are still M1 Carbines on a paratrooper map... The same goes for Bastogne as well, of course.

I agree with tosh. If dev's wanted to make path there, why make it so that you go out of bounds half the route? Intended or not, it sucks.

if that route is intended my suggestion would be to remove the out of bounds so newer players know that people could come from there.
