Bardia 64

[Cory the Otter]

Lainer is a sucker for the big BW.

I love Bardia's gameplay, but I do agree it looks a bit BF2ish. Maybe lightening the sand a bit and adding more realistic objects here and there (statics, not new guns, I know it's unreasonable to expect whole new Italian guns for one map where placeholders will do) would sort it out. In terms of gameplay it's still one of my top maps in FH2, right up there with Fall of Tobruk.

[Flippy Warbear]

Gameplay has been rock solid since day 1. But the map is horribly ugly.

[Slayer]

I agree it is ugly, but I still think Mersa Matruh is uglier. Plus its gameplay isn´t nearly as good as Bardia´s.

I like this map even more because of the Nations Cup. I think one of the reasons people hate Bardia, is that it is always the map which appears after a servercrash on hslan, so people associate Bardia with something negative: the servercrash.

[Ts4EVER]

Yes, Mersa Matruh is a bit on the simple side, on the other hand it has a huge view distance and the gameplay is nice with a good mix of tank and infantry warfare. Also it looks like the real place (Lobo showed some pics when the map was shown in the news update, it's almost 1:1)

Bardia is a great map   Except its a little "ugly" as people say, its close to perfect  Nothing should be changed, except the italian tanks are quite sucky, but if thats how they were in real, thats how it should be in the game too 

[Meadow]

Had an amazing game on this two days ago that confirmed for me that the gameplay is fine - started the round as the Aussies and as an SL jumped in an A13. Drove up to the top Italian flag (Wadi something) and ordered my squad that was riding and running with me to jump off and attack while I fired smoke bombs from the turret. Dodging the fire from the tank over at the harbour on the other side of the bridge and the AT gun on the bunker, plus an AT rifle nearby was really intense and my boys soon got the flag under control. Was a really great experience, one of the best I've had in FH2.

Next to mareth line, it is still my favorite map

[Sturmbocke]

This is one of my favorite maps, but there is one thing I think should be considered again.



This PAK 35 here, I think it should be usable for axis side only. If Wadi outpost is the only flag italians have, allies can shoot with that PAK HE rounds straight into Wadi bunker (axis spawnpoint) and it turns to a one bloody massacre.

[Torenico]

This map needs an M11/39, but we have no M11/39

Seems that all the Axis vehicles are placeholders, according to Wiki, in Bardia the italians had the tank nobody wants to use, Fiat L3 Tankette and M11/39.

None of them where capable of even disabling a Matilda. The M13/40 is just a beast in the map, capable of destroying a Crusader whit ONE shot. Its perfect for ambush, just shoot in the sides. Be carefull, when facing another M13/40, shoot and reverse!

[THeTA0123]

I always drive the Cruiser MKIV, and so far, only once was i killed by an M13/40........

The cruiser MKIV outperforms the M13.It is faster, and can survive a frontal hit.It also have a far better visibilty around the commanders cupola.And Those smoke launchers can be such a handy tool

[Torenico]

Yeah but the M13/40 can destroy the Cruiser whit one shot on its Tracks, front side.

[THeTA0123]

Yeah but the M13/40 can destroy the Cruiser whit one shot on its Tracks, front side.

nah, cruiser MKIV survives a frontal shot.Trust me.


but then again, M13/40 has HE shells,  and i love HE shells 

[Torenico]

Well i managed to destroy it whit one shot, front.


And it takes one shot, also, on the Tracks, thats why this map is awesome for ambush.

M13/40 is a beast

[Smiles]

Well i likem the map though english always win but near the flak 88 and city hospital there is this rock formation with a gap between 2 rocks where you cant pass through.
