Map idea

[Plaid13]

Not sure if anyone else would like this or not. But i would like to see a map with one tank on only one side dosnt matter what side even. the rest of the map would be infantry and the tank is there just to support infantry but... the catch is theres no anti tank weapons on the map. But the map should have alot of cover to hide from the tank maybe a city map of some sort with lots of buildies and stuff so the tank cant get clear fire for huge areas.

Im sure there were at least a few bad battles where one side or the other was totaly helpless against a tank i would really like to see this problem in the game. As it is the maps where tanks are there to support infantry like hedgehog theres all sorts of ways to destroy the tanks. panzerfausts all over a couple sappers and another tank. its almost more dangerous in the tank then it is running on foot since your basicly a big rolling target for anyone thats taken two seconds to grab a panzerfaust.
If thats too extreame for everyone maybe having only one panzerfaust or one satchel charge somewhere out of the way on the map not by the spawn or a objective. and not one that regens right away so people stand by it and load up on them. it should be very very hard to destroy the tank.
Maybe a Tiger tank and only one russian anti tank rifle to destroy it. would even work I just really want a map where the tank is a bigger threat to the infantry then the infantry is to the tank.

tiger tank and a single ptrd!?

doesn't seem so.

I'd prefer Germans having PZ IV F1 and Russians KV1-S.

But someone should really apply the static AT-Guns.

 

[Plaid13]

i think your missing the point of the map. in the real war it happened fairly often where one side had a tank or two and the other side had absolutely nothing to deal with it. It would force people to stay under cover on the other side. make them stay down and crawl.

Maybe if the defending side had artiliery and the attacking side had the tank. so only the artiliery could kill the tank.

 

[Oi!Oi!Oi!]

I wish all the maps that have tanks and infantry had less AT opportunities for the foot soldiers.

 

[Plaid13]

Yeah tanks are nowhere near the threat they should be on the combined arms maps because almost everyone has a satchel charge or a panzerfaust.

Get infantry support,a lone tank is basically one big rolling target...

 

[Plaid13]

the tanks being a big rolling target is the problem. almost everyone on infantry maps that have a tank or two can get a panzerfaust and theres always a couple people with satchels.

 

[kapulA]

GET INFANTRY SUPPORT,DONT GO ALONE!
You'd be amazed how well it works to have 3-4 guys around your tanks.

 

[Plaid13]

your missing the whole point. for the most part in WW2 infantry wasnt a big threat to tanks. was rare that they would have anything that could take out a tank. where in the game at least half the people running around on the combined arms maps have ways to kill tanks.

 

[kapulA]

Well,otherwise it would be biased,dont complain cause people CAN destroy you,dont LET them destroy you...

You guys do know that, at the very end of the war, a teenager with a panzerfaust was the single greatest threat to a tank, right? The Soviets never looked in to anti-tank arms very much, only because their own tanks were all the anti-tank firepower they needed.

The Germans, on the other hand, produced 1.3 million Panzerfausts in December 1944 alone.

 

[Feldwebel Crin]

Does anyone remember the CoD:UO map Kharkov? Yeah......

 

[Plaid13]

sure there were anti tank weapons but... everyone didnt have them. there might be one maybe two guys that would have a anti tank weapon and they would only get one or two shots with that at the most. not a unlimited supply. they wouldnt come across stock piles of ammo laying around on the front line. a tank comming at you should be a huge threat not the minor nusance it is on most combined arms maps. every other infantry the tank comes across shouldnt have anti tank weapons hiding in his pocket.

And yes it would be biased on one side because they have the tank.... thats the whole idea. the team without the tank would have to stay behind cover from the tank and sneak around insted of taking out the tank like it was nothing and running out in the open after its gone.

 

[Feldwebel Crin]

If you have narrow streets with multi-story reinforced buildings thos tanks aren'y much of a problem, even in real life. Sure, they prevent the other side from moving well, but if the tank is restricted to streets then the other side just has avoid it.

There was some american held hill in Normandy and one american battalion or something was dug in on it. Basicaly the germans tried day after day to assault it with panzers but attacks where constantly haulted by artilerly directed by the only working radio. This radio had 3 batteries and the commander realising this radio was his only hope heated these on rocks to keep them working and dared only insert the batteries when an attack came to reduce drainage from the inputs.

You could try a russian version of that map, but overall sounds a tad dull.

 

[kapulA]

War wasn't fair,but this is a game and it should be atleast mildly fair...
Im leaving this convo as it pointless...

 

[SOAD]

i would like to see this map, i like the idea of cowering from a tank and not being able to kill it, but having to sneak about. It would be fun!

 

[Plaid13]

Well at least some people realise a tank should be a real threat and not just a minor nusance. whatever was done it would need to be made so the tank itself cant get into the objectives to instantly win the battle.
