Operation Goodwood 64

[Eat Uranium]

Err, thats 6 normal shermans (the M4A4s spawn twice).  Usually, the armour battles will be 6 shermans, 2 cromwells, 2 fireflys vs. 1 marder, 1 stug, 1 pzIV, 2 pzV and 1 KT.  Which I make to be 10 vs. 6.

but you forget the Pak guns, the 5 panzer fausts, compared to only 3 Piat's.

Churchills participated in the battle. How bout replacing an old sherman with one armed with a 6PDR 

Instead on the forward outpost, in the mainbase

[Eat Uranium]

FYI, on a full 64 player server, its 5 PIATs vs. 7 Panzerfausts (+ a couple of pickup shrecks).  Would be quite cool to have a churchill* though.

*ROQF 75mm though

Ofcourse XD     Some performed very well on Goodwood.


and some got bommed by the allied airforce..............


Imo that should be added to FH2. Once a certain flag is captured, an allied plane comes over you and teamkills you

I change this in SP, but I was always curious why the darker, less-camouflaging skin for the panther was used on this map compared to the more camophlaging paler skin as seen in Totalize? Is it based on historical accuracy.

I found Panthers more intimidating in SP once I changed this since they could sneak up on you and you might not ID them properly from great range and try to tackle them like they were PZIVs or in contrast the Tiger II... more fun I think

Ya this map need a churchill really bad, it would help balance the KT in a good way

I think also the germans should recieve the KT faster. Atm the germans get it if almost all flags are captured.


They should script it to make the KT appear when Cagny is captured. But also when cagny is back into german hands, the KT should not spawn anymore.

The 31st Tank bridgade was equipped with churchills during goodwood



Their where other Churchill brigade"s aswel wich participated. Because the range of engagement was long range on goodwood, they where able to survive the onslaught of the 88MM guns deployed (78 of them!!)


When cagny is captured, one or 2 churchills should appear imo. Counterattacking Cagny is very difficult to do.

Ah yes regarding that 31th tank brigade, they where camoflaged so well, that one aware Allied spotter thought they where german tanks, and they sended in bombers to bomb them! No casualties, but they was alot of rage in the 31th tank brigade because i read, that later on in the war, they where bombed by friendly planes 3 times!

Ye goodwood should defiantly have churchill tanks. FH1 goodwood had one, and it was epic

I don't think you can code something to not spawn anymore, unless the flag it is bound to is taken, of course. Example: at Mareth the Tiger keeps spawning until Gabes is taken. So then you would have to bind the KT to Cagny, but you can only bind it to one flag, I think.

[Eat Uranium]

As it stands, the Tiger II is set to spawn if 5 minutes have passed with both Gabes and both initial flags are british.  If one is recapped, then the kitty should stop spawning until those conditions have been met again.

Personally I would not mind if the KT would spawn right from the start  I'm always terribly bored as allied in the beginning...nothing to do, nothing to be scared of

A Marder is just a huge, attention-drawing, noisy, wobbly pak40 that is easy to hit, hard to miss and makes me giggle everytime I see it (Almost as much as the Marder III  ). Now, if you would have said stug....

The only times I've ever been killed by a Marder is : 1) walking around in camped villages (HE shizzle) 2) driving trucks or halftracks

Hm now that is a bit to much, but the Kingtiger should spawn a bit faster.

But defiantly some churchill's aswel. We have the tanks now, so dont come with the "the mappers did not requested this vehicle" Excuse!!!

[Knoffhoff]

Could I see some references that clearly states that Churchill tanks were used in a significant role during operation Goodwood? I never heard about it.

Gladly   i will look upon it tonight because i remeber a site of a book where they mentioned one of the brigade's of churchill wich went into combat.
