What do you wanna see in the upcoming eastfront?

[THeTA0123]

With the approval of Flippy, i will now (re)start a Eastfront discussion thread. The last one went very well untill we had a Bolshevik propaganda VS Nazi Warcrime troll flame discussion, and i locked it up.

This is about what YOU wanna see in the eastfront. With this thread, we might be able to inspire the devs. As we all know, the FH1 eastfront only had a portion of what the actual Eastfront had.
So when it comes to weapons, vehicles, Guns, maps.. Propose and suggest it right here!

Gonna restate the rules=

-This thread will be a gathering of what the public wants to see in the upcoming eastfront
-Anything related to the eastfront may be suggested
-Discussion of things other people suggest is also allowed
-NO Goddam flamewars/trolling of sensitive topics=Holocaust, communism, Facism, Nazi war crimes, Soviet raping.. This is what DESTROYED the last thread
-Keep it civil and a bit organized

This is what i HOPE to see in the eastfront=
-Soviet AAA artillery. These are=25mm 72-k, 37mm 61-k and
85mm 52-k
These 3 guns where the most common AA guns. And the 37mm was one of the finest. With a confirmed killing of 10.000 Axis aircraft
- Soviet tanks in year models. For example, the KV model 1940(KV-1a) had 75mm of armor. The KV model 1941 had 75+20mm, and the KV model 1942 has 110 Frontal armor
- More axis aircraft. From the Ju 88 to the He 111 to new models of stukas and so on.
- More diffrent types of artillery. Both lighter then the current 105mm calibers and heavier
- M1895 Nagant revolver with a reload time of 45 seconds MINIMUM!!!!!
- Heavy AT guns like the German Pak 43. Foreign Pak guns like Pak 97
- Nations like Italy and Finland ofcourse
- More developers for the FH2 team

I would like to see Stuka with 37 mm AT guns, that is so damn awesome. I would also like to see German Jagdpanzer Elefant and really heavy Soviet artillery.

The Ju 87 G-2 was my favourite plane in FH0.7 ^^

I want to see some good map suggestions from the community. Our maps are becoming increasingly generic and I don't like it. Our mappers need some good ideas. We only have one very basic Eastern Front map, and I don't think it's being worked on at the moment, so this is your chance to shine.

Now, I want to stress the word "good". Because I know you guys and when I say I want map suggestions I will get ten posts saying "Do Stalingrad lol" and that's not going to help anyone. I want extensive information on a specific location. So don't suggest a Kursk map. Kursk was a huge battle fought over a huge area. Our maps are all between 1km² and 4km² (though 16km² is a theoretical possibility). Find out where the most interesting part of the battle took place and suggest that. Post pictures of the battle field, what the houses and villages there look like. Post what vehicles were used and which units fought there. Draw up a suggestion for the map layout in photoshop or paint.

Also keep in mind our limitations. Our devs work hard, but they too have limits. City maps like Stalingrad or Leningrad require a huge amount of effort. I'm sure we can make three countryside maps for every city map that is made. We will also want to re-use as much material as possible. That means we would like the battles to take place around 1944, so we can simply use the German vehicles we have, instead of having to make new ones.

Lightning, how about you ask Flippy for Continuation war map ideas?

[Fenring]

Yes as lightning said please give us some suggestions for 1944 eastern front battles, right now almost everything is a possibility.

As darktimes suggested, some huge feeling levels as we had in FH North Africa campaign. Those always amaze me with the quality of the skymap and just general feeling of being lost in the landscape. Of course there's room for other level types as well. I'll try and do some research and possibly pick out an appropriate battle/area and get back to you.
