Lovely map, I gasped when I first played it last night. Stole a pink citrogen and drove till I died then walked around the allied main for 10 minutes just exploring
I played 4 times on PeB and each time the british was didn't abble to capture the first flag... or when captured it was almost impossible for them to defend it. Even when you are a german, it's boring because the british can just run in germans MG, and it make that most of the game you can't see a quarter of the map. If making some little changes to make it easyer for british will be appreciatedthis^
No.Unlike other maps like totalize, this map wont really balance itself out after a while. It is not the tactics, but to much german equipment and to few allied one
Let's not start messing around with maps mere days after the release.
Played it twelve times now and won twice with allies ;D
Guess we will see what it brings. But giving the germans double the equipment is stupid imo.
Which server? Was it full?
Thanks for the suggestions, even though it's a bit early to start changing the map. It's good to have some ideas ready.Lets await a good month first ;D
Imo it's not as easy as comparing the number of vehicles. Of all the vehicles the Sherman and PZ3 are the most straightforward. The other vehicles (like the Bren carriers and Marder) require a bit more creativity. I expect that, once the players have adapted, this will help the British. But there is always room for improvement.
Adding an M3 halftrack might make things far easier for the brits.M5
oh ye m5Adding an M3 halftrack might make things far easier for the brits.M5
*runs way*
Anyway. A half-track wouldn't hurt, yes.
That's true, was just pondering some of the historical aspects that don't feature in the map.Many historical facts are left out on many maps, especialy on the allied team ::)
Barring the view distance though, there looks to be enough space to take-off (with very little modification), but to land for rearming would very difficult without modifying the terrain/static layout, which would be a right pita.

What the map needs imo.
Removal of all armoured vehicles.
Captured K98k and MP40 selectable classes for Brits + 1 or 2 pick-up MG34's.
One or two Typhoons for Brits.
Smoke bombardment for Brit commander.
how do you fire the smoke artillery then?What the map needs imo.

Actually...
- Almost all armoured vehicles are mentioned in the data used for this map. Not in the way they are used in-game but Imo that’s acceptable.
- The British have a mg42 at one of their bases as a reference to the captured equipment. Maybe some pickup kits could be added.
- This map is too small for planes.
- If I’m not mistaken the British commander has smoke artillery (combined with the regular).
how do you fire the smoke artillery then?
Just came off 762 server where brits lost 7 - 0. Didn't seem all that imbalanced and I had loads of fun with a decent squad.but thats one round.
For the devs:Saying that better players join the losing side is wrong. Many people join the german team because they know they can killwhore.
Last night I played a game of 10vs10 and the experience was different but still enjoyeable, so cheers there!
I'm especially like: attacking the widerstandsnest 56, such an epic feeling! And I like the many mg placements (handy for both sides) and the ability to see through certain "holes" in the streets and then being able to pick off your enemy from a distance.
But ofcourse, as things are now and the Germans play their cards right, the allieds lose. Luckily you also see the better players joining the allied side for the challenge of it. That balances things out.
Things I would like to see: extra halftrack for the allied at start, maybe even 2, or a spawnable halftrack.
And damnit, I want a destroyable casino-building with mg42's on top and a pak38 in the basement. I watched the longests day 27 times and I don't care for historical accuracy in this case! ;D
Britisch need to assault and have a hard time doing it. Especially on HSLAN where the Axis side is usually a little more organized(late afternoon). If a Axis has a pnz III with a good sl its almost impossible to take church, hold it and go for outskirtst since the pnzIII, if any good, will hold east uphill, wait till german reinforcements get from the south to outskirts and just roll in and decimate infantry round the church.
That said, if squads on british side would spread out and coordinate to take church and outskirts arout the same time, push immediatley to the MG heaven where the Sherman will hold at outskirts, brits will have an easier time.
Imo its one way or another, if one team fails, they usually fail bigtime, there is no in between. Either one team get wiped, or the other ^^.
why when use all MG42 in this map can't release (E)? it's like stuck. :-\What MG and where? I can't remember getting stuck on any MGs ???

Panzer IV D (will we ever have it?).
Well there is a panzergrau one on Mt. Olympus... afaik Panzergrau can be used in Normandy as well.In 1940 :P
"bw_pickupMortar.con" and "bw_pickupVickers303.con" does not exists.Thanks for reporting the bug. You are right, those kits don't seem to exist.
~~ ~~
"BA_PickUpMortar.con" and "BA_PickUpVickers303.con" exists.

plz check "objects_server.zip\Kits\Spawnable".
I have to say the Brits bleed FAR FAR to slow, just today the Germans held all flags for the entoere round, this was only interrupted for like 5 minutes (probably less), because the whole Brit team consisted of camping idiots and the sherman driver was one of the worst I have ever seen.
The Germans won the round of course, but only with about 170 or even less tickets more than the Brits.
