but what about all those kubel rush to rear lines? this is sometimes very annoying. Personally i don't see it looked good when you see a bunch of kubels running at top speed towards enemy lines and rush to the rear flags and cap the hell out there.

You're right, maybe make the southern and norhternmost flags sort of pushy? That you can only cap them if you have both ridges? Something like that?

The lack of churchills bother me on this map  ;D


Around 5 Churchills saw action during El alamein, but they all saw action like hell.

This "King force" got shelled Heavily by German AT guns, and all but one, made it back with little damage. One tank was even hit 80times

You want to make the Churchill with 6 pounder so it can be used on 1 map? Just 1 map? I'd rather see the Churchill IV with 75mm gun in Normandy. Or the AVRE.

But if Italy is being produced I am sure we will see the 6 pounder version.

Sorry THeTA0123 but Churchill will not become part of El Alamein because you said the main reason. Only 5 of them saw action during that massive battle. It is not high enough number to qualify.

But all 5 saw heavy combat. Tigers where very rare on Africa, and yet they always make an appearnce on FH2

Beside, the 6 pounder was still used on the Churchill
Their was an mix of around 50/50 in the late war of 6pounder Churchills and 75MM churchills

But which attracts more people? The well known beast of War, the Tiger or the not-so-well-known british turtle?

You would be surprised  how much people want to see the churchill  ;D


Well, if we ever see a NA patch in the very   very

very Late future, i sure hope someone is willing to design and include it.


If  >:(

I dont hope NA gets forgotten after Normandy

Trust me, after Normandie, FH  will be more popular than pancakes.  There will be 4 servers full constantly. I mean, look at all the cod2 players.

Taken from FH2 update just now

Quote
The Churchill Mk I's poor performance during the Dieppe Raid almost caused it to be scrapped in favour of the Cromwell, but the great performance of the improved Mk III during the second battle of El Alamein showed the British command that the Churchill could be a great asset to the army. And indeed it proved itself again in Tunisia (even taking out a Tiger Tank) and again in Italy.

Just because "Only" 5 of them participated on this map, doesnt mean they shouldnt be included

The version showcased in the latest update isn't even the correct version for Africa, which would mean more work and the delay of Normandy as the team tweaks the current model and makes a new desert texture for it.

And no one wants Normandy to be delayed, right?

You also read "great performance of the improved Mk III".

We dont have Mk III, we have Mk IV. Maybe when and if such version of the vehicle is used in other fronts too, not only on El Alamein.

I would much rather see the Mark 3 in Mareth Line instead of El Alamein.

If 5 (five) tanks at a given time period is enough to start demanding the model to be included in-game...

Well, there were two Maus superheavies built and one of them took part in combat, I want one! And Neubaufahrzeugs for early war scenarios, too! Or how about the Finnish home-made assault gun, BT-42, which married WW1-era QF 4,5" howizer on top of a BT-7, there were at least 18 conversions made? And now that we're on the Finnish front, how about including KV-1 prototype, T-100 and SMK in a Winter War map?

This is a bottomless swamp. One that FH2 can not afford to sink to.

T-100 and SMK in a Summa map as self-defending immobile objectives... heheh...

Actually Kelmola, BT-42 was in FH. :)

Mate please, i'm used alot :)  Thing is. If one tiger tank appears in a battle, it MUST be included!Period!
If 5 tanks, wich contributed alot, wich saw massive battle, needs to be added(Even one is enough), everyone is like=WOWOWOW!

The British get their asses kicked alot on El alamein, they surely could use a Churchill

I think the point is, the Tigers in Tunisia made a massive impact on the allies who were facing them.  The 5 churchills at El Alamein probably made most of their impact on their own side.  The Germans had allready met the resilient Matildas and Valentines and seen the churchills fail at Dieppe.

Anyway, the map itself is near bursting point.  I think I'm right is saying that there is a limit to the number of textures that can be on a map, and including a MkIII on the map would mean removing another vehicle type.  I do not think that this map needs churchills.

Maybe the hurricane could be upgraded to a Hurribomber like the one on Alam Halfa.
