Level Design Black July

Another tank map I played for the first time 2 days ago. One difference I noticed is there are 3 spawns with tanks so if you end up on foot you don't have as far to go like on orel. How do you guys like this map or have you played it yet? It's big but I don't think as large as orel.

Funniest RO moment as yet on RC33 of this map. I'm in an SU-76, driving towards the right flank cap point. I see a smoking T-34 near the cap and the crewman bails out. He looks like he has no intention of suiciding and wants to run the whole 2 km back to spawn.

I think, "A-ha! time to be a good Samaritan, I'll pick him up" So I slow down and call out on VOIP, "Hop in! I'll take you back to spawn." He (62AS.2cl.Le_Duc) hops in and we turn round and drive all the way back to the Prokhorovka line. Not saying much as he is French and I speak no French.

We get back there and I let him out with a cheery, "NP m8, cya - gl" He thanked me and got out. I started up the engine feeling very proud of my act of selfless charity and drove off.....

...right over him!!!! - I didn't notice what side he had got out!!!

I could not speak or type for about a minute after, tears of laughter were rolling down my cheeks. To be fair to him, he saw the funny side too.

I'm glad to see my level has gone over so well.

I'm going to hold off releasing a new version for afew days until I have all the kinks out of the balance, since the axis seem to have a hard time on this level.

Great Map

Great Map

Played it last night. Great map. Like another said, it is not too small like Arad and not too big either. I like this map and also Orel. It would be great when we can get to 64 players so we can bring enough infantry in the game as well.

Axis having a hard time? I've only played it half a dozen times but the axis won all but once. I guess it depends how full the server is- the Russian win was about 12 on 12.

you can sneak a peak at the new look in the new flying clowncar video

(don't worry, it isn't featured on the map)

speaking of which, from what I've learned from making this flying clowncar I might transfer into a bit more realistic halftrack. depends if I have time.

Good to know!

I like your map alot, on par with Arad as far as my favourites go (Orel way too big for my liking) but there is something lacking. Cant quite put my finger on it. Perhaps it needs more landmarks cos there have been countless times Ive turned up at axis spawn (unintentionally) and stumbling upon 4-5 stugs n panzers slowly rumbling off.

Ended up taking a few cheap shots before being destroyed

maybe mine-volumes with the message "You are in danger of becoming a sp**n-c**ping git - please leave the area - you have 15 seconds to comply" and then blow you up anyway no matter what you do would serve to increase players' spatial awareness
