Nice update, and with all this Panzergrau goodness it looks like 1940 campaign in the West could actually be a realistic wish for "next front" after Western Front 1944-45 is exhausted - still needs a 37 mm armed Pz3 variant though ;)

So it's four maps for 2.25... Cobra, Anctoville, Villers-Bocage and Mt. Olympus?

Kelmola, I like you hope that 1940 is the next front (or is developed in parallel by a couple of mappers) but we've been led to understand that all the Panzergrau reskins are for Mount Olympus alone at the moment... though we've been lied to before ;) And yes, we need a 37mm PzIII. We did back in 0.7 too.

Very pleased to see that 2.25 is here so soon! Unfortunately I have a university exam next Monday so will probably have to force myself not to play until after that... But hey. Can't wait to see what the next few days of updates brings... I hope for a couple more maps.

Post by: VonMudra on 04-01-2010, 01:01:16
Yeah, right now, they're for the Mt Olympus map.  Though really, the Pz3J with the 50mm would only be useful as a placeholder for anything earlier, and even Yugoslavia/Greece should have the 37mm Pz3 types.

Why the hell did the Germans use a predominantly gray/black colourscheme on their tanks when fighting in Greece, a country not known for its dark-gray grass and trees?

(I know, it's because of shadows or something... it still didn't work. Live and learn, Guderian)

Ding ding ding.

We have a winner.

The answer comes whenever I can be bothered to find it out again (I asked this very question but forgot the answer).

Edit: Apparently the British rushed their equipment to Greece straight from Africa, so not much time to get the paintbrush out.

Actually the field grau paint was for everything, down to gas mask canisters, mess kits, helmets...it was just the generic military paint, just like the americans OD'ed everything.  It was never meant to be some kind of camouflage, although you are correct that it does work well in shadows.  When they switched to the ordnance tan in 1943, it wasn't just for the tanks, but schrecks, fausts, gas mask canisters, and mess kits as well.  Only thing that didn't change were the helms, which stayed with feld grau, or switched to factory applied camo paints.

Pure awesome update guys! I won't be back to my gaming PC until Sunday unfortunately but I can't wait to see some new media in the coming days.

Oh and speaking of media, I was under the impression from this thread (http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=3595.0) that the next update would expose us to the amazing new sounds in FH 2.25 ... not that I'm complaining or anything.

Awesome news! I will be busy this coming Friday and Saturday nights but will be playing this straight through Sunday and beyond!

The new map looks nice(from what I can tell without the overall map view of it yet).

Quick question: Is this supposed to be the last update with Normandy maps and are the devs going to another front after this or will there be more normandy?

I LOVE so many of the maps I've played so far in 2.2 and these four 2.25 maps look nice from what I've seen but we're still missing some of the iconic beach landing maps (ie. omaha, gold). Are those in the works or does this release pretty much wrap up normandy?

There will be beach maps! It would not be a proper FH2, nor a proper WWII Game/Mod without some beach maps. While I don't do much mapping anymore.. I have been known to create one, once in awhile..

Therefore, come hell or high water.. They'll be beaches if the coder of the mod has to become a mapper and create one.  ;D

The devs develop the stuff as they decide which map is next and it would seem, there is no loss in Panzergrau as it will have use later...

They built a whole american Thunderbolt and P51 for a single map, didn't they? And the fench guns for a PDH only

Yeah, apparently the devs don't care how bad it looks to have Poland campaign crosses on their 251 in Africa and the Balkans. I pointed it out many times back in 2.0 and was greeted only with rudeness.

And then in general the neew sounds are basicly awsome even when your not up close to the fighting it now sounds like a war is going one around you.

Love the update... Again, the devs take it one up with the rain effect. And the map does capture a COD2 sense... ambush!!

First time a PZIIIis shown in FH2 - And what a beauty - my favorite tank's got a new sweater

Can't wait to DL 2.25 and see what the devs have got in store... This is going to be a joyous week with the updates just popping up one to the next

thanks for the feedback on SP.. Hope to see... Want to hope - sure hope it's good

Good to know Afrika is not forgotten. I hope when Normandy starts to feel old we can see Afrika more often. I personally would like to play them more often because my ping is much more constant in them than in Normandy maps (cursed wlan...).

Those frame drops can have several issues.

But if the one guy lags and the other not - compare your game settings, quality, effects and sound when you have compareable hardware.

Usually, we test maps a lot and if the testers are giving feedback about lags than we look for it.

But, like always, will be locked via a password.  The password will be released on Friday.  Downloading the passworded torrent just means all you have to do on Friday is put in the password, extract and install.  Anyone who does not have the torrent will have to download, extract and install on Friday.  So the people with a slower internet (or people who want to play ASAP) are encouraged to download the torrent so they don't have wait for the download on Friday while other people are already playing.

1 cromwell
1 sherman
1 firefly (or 2 ?)
+ a few transports


germans get
1panzer IV
1 tiger
1 panther ( i think)
+ a few transports

however these tanks spawn with delay at te beginning neither side has any tanks.

2 Fireflys and 1 normal Sherman kinda odd and Tiger is always nice.

i THINK the first sherman spawns after a delay and when the british have pushed into the city german and british tank reinforcements spawn.
thats what would make most sense, i guess.

Correct me if i am wrong but are those new fire effects?

Anyway. I can't say till i've played this map, but it looks like it'd be good as a infantry only map or allies have 1-5 shermans and the germans have no armor or just a single tiger.

Post by: Ts4EVER on 05-01-2010, 19:01:17
I haven't played it, but from the minimap I'd compare it to FoT in that there are few tanks with mostly infantry action. I hope the addition of tanks also prevents the kind of infantry rape gameplay you find on Tunis, another map that has kind of a "hose-like" design like this one.

God I hope so. The best infantry experience I've ever had in 2.2 was on Lebisey's 16 player mode, with push mode on. It was an epic fight for every flag. I hope Anctoville brings this kind of gameplay to more server rotations - though I still wish some more servers would add the 16 player versions of some maps like Lebisey to their normal rotations. They really play fine with 64 players.

Same here .... Lebisey has yielded the best infantry game play thus far in my opinion, even though it's not a strict infantry map. I think it's because it's fairly wide open but still urban. Maps like Tunis are too congested for good infantry gameplay.

I totally agree I have had amazing fights on the smaller maps. I remember on Side Rezegh 16 of 32 I had the best infantry experience ever. Attacking across an open field towards the huge command block, smoke, it was just epic.

Anctoville doesn have 16 mode in 2.25, will add it for 2.3 perhaps. and this map is not CQC only, you have huge open fields also, it is a big village, more like a small town with complete surroundings, so not like Tunis.
It is designed extremely well by Otolikos  :)

to back that up  3/4 of the fighting in normandy was done my british and commonwealth forces well most of the battles any way (the devs stated that as well) So bring it up with them the source  of that and it feels nice to have a ww2 mod which represents other partys not just Bloody America

I know, that they were not alone, but I like the American equipment much more.
The BAR and the Carbine. A map like Totalize for American with high view distance, nice weather and all kind of vehicles would be fun.

Seriously is THIS whining? am i whining at all? I made a bloody joke and some of you testers are always replieng with STFU with whining.Seriously stop it. Just because things went well in an organized testing match doesnt mean it will go that way in the public.

The real power of garand has to be the bullet, its so fast you cant miss moving targets and it reloads really fast. I love garand because its so easy to hit with it, not sure if it is the bullet but it feels like it would be faster.
