From my point of view, Im not too happy with some of it. I dont attack you Ts, you are from my point best mapper FH2 has because I cant believe how natural and real Dukla and Ogledow are. Just WOW. So this is my point and my opinion and want to say it.
It is good that inf finally got some cover over upper map and other part. Just for me now map losed little part of it that was so special. IMO too much hedgrowes that remind me on Normandy so much I cant describe. Before this there was AFAIK no any hedgrowes which created atmosphere of Eastern Europe so great. I was mostly how there are now hedgrowes directly at end of forest at north of map which clearly doesnt fit at all to it. Maybe more other bushes or stones or diches instead. But OK about them.
That centre part of map was open and clear and it was awsome for tank battles. I had actually many tank battles with my panther hitting all away up to top of hill. That was magnificent. Now new flag and huge amount of overgrowth at river will stop that at western part of map and what I think was point of map- tanks need to clear way for inf. Now ofcourse in public server that doesnt work, but I think that more bushes and overgrowth and better walkable river or some more forest near river could do the thing. Now IMO it is little akward and normandiest .
More points for inf to cross river is great and will be key update for map that it needed. But I think that only more tank crossing that map needed is IMO that one that leads from Valley trough forest to west of Farm. That new one that leads from Valley to New Flag is not need and will ruin german main contraattack route that was safe on western part from river.And Im not really fund of that new flag which is huge,I wish it is smaller.
Now,before you attack me,I cant really judge much before release and trying it,but this is what I see from video. I hope Ts will see my point.
