This is a side note about Kasserine Pass. The map is working just fine in 2.54, but after some real gameplay, I noticed the map isn't on par with the quality standards of your mappack. Here is some personal impressions and feelings:
1. This is a very crude, unfinished map on layout, terrain and statics. Looks like you are on Mars or something.
2. Playing as infantry is very frustrating: there are virtually no cover, even close to the flags, so you turned to be easy meat for the tanks, time and time again.
3. Playing as tankist or vehicle crew is frustating as well: there is a veeery active aerial support, so you got blown by bombs after a few moments inside a vehicle. Many times you don't even have the chance to get to the frontline.
4. The artillery is quite misplaced; at least 50% of the AT guns are located in useless positions. There are almost no AA available, except for some German 88's; with so much air power, this lack of AA guns, mainly light calibers, affects both teams, the worse for the Americans, that doesn't have anything, except for a isolated and remote Bofors.
5. There are no ammo boxes available for infantry, and no ammo kits or ammo trucks for the vehicles. After you spent everything, you must run like hell in search of a remote truck or APC, or dump your Sherman or Tiger somewhere, if you have enough luck to survive 'till then.
6. The flags are very far away from each other, you simply don't have a chance to go from Hachem to Djebbas; the three frontline positions can't support each other, so remote and isolated they are.
7. The assets respawn is just overwhelming. Tigers, Stukas and P-40's keep coming to the point you don't give a damn anymore. So I got raped by the bots all the time.
8. The game on both layers progress very slowly and increasingly boring, as the bleeding depends of a team capturing ALL flags; the Germans must cap all three frontline flags (that's totally unreal) plus the Allied Main to start the bleeding. This way, a gameplay can last for hours, without a decisive blow to any side.
That's just a thought about the gameplay in this map. I know that changing all of that is really time-consuming, and probably beyond your interest, as it should involve overhauling the landscape etc. So, if you decide to give it a go, or just leave it alone, let me know! If you choose to not touch it, I'll probably be uninstalling the old map once and for all.
Thanks bro!
