A small historical element missing on the Invasion of Crete map...

[LuckyOne]

Map needs the crippled cruiser HMS York in Suda bay...

Note that we don't need the actual model, but it would be nice to see a ship there, just for those who are happy to see such small historic references in FH2 maps.

her AA guns kept operating despite being disabled.

It was there in FH1 Crete


So i wonder why they didnt include it in FH2 version. they certainly know about it.
Maybe they could use the destroyer from Port-en-Bessin, mash it up a bit and put it in?

Problem is that there are not good enough (in terms of quality) ship models in FH2 to let players go aboard and making new ones is a LOT of works. All ships are FH1 ports afaik and are "substandart", they're only good for a nice looking statics in the map background.

[LuckyOne]

^ Nobody's saying we have to let players go aboard (well except Theta ). We just need it to be there... Heck why do we have that sunken tanker in FoT?

It's not in the map background...

This topic just reminded me of the Matilda I in FH1 Crete. :'D

Hilarious little thing... and about as deadly as a shoehorn.

and about as deadly as a shoehorn.

Until the Axis capped Suda Bay while she was out and about and spawn a couple Panzers .

In fact, I'm sure I've seen a Matilda on Crete in FH2.. maybe I'm misremembering or it was SP or SSM or something.

[Raziel]

There is only a Matilda II and a Vickers Light tanks MkVI on Crete. Back on topic I like the idea of a static destroyer in suda bay. (Maybe with usable aa)

Would be a nice way to force low-flying Junkerses to take a little longer detour to the east.

The devs keep updating maps as contents become available. I'm sure they are aware of this and once content for it becomes available, they will probably consider it.

Never forget, the devs have researchers too, so they are not oblivious to such things... Besides, you DID see the ship in FH2 Crete, no?

[LuckyOne]

Yes, but it's just a tiny fishing ship atm... and it's not even in the right place... Someting more representative would work better...

[djinn]

but it requires hours/ days of modeling for that ONE static, which will have very little tactical use.

Like I said, if/ when the devs get to using ships, an apprioporate model may be available.

Look at some of the new vehicles that were made to replace others in older maps.
When the need comes for such a vehicle, the devs will probably be more than willing to add a static of it to the map.

I would prefer seeing a proper war ship, rather than a Fh1 port again.

Maybe someone already answered that question (but even with search i couldn't find): Why is map Mount Olympus placed in the West front theatre in website of FH2 (http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/fh2_maps.php?scenario=1), but Invasion of Crete is in North Africa theatre. Shouldn't be both in one theatre - probably Balkan one or something like this?
