Early War combined arms level

[Roman Elite]

My dream map:

A map similar to Bondarevo. But slightly larger like Arad with lots of expansive wheat fields and fields for good early war tanking. Except the difference here is the tank load out could be like this:

Allies:
(4x) BT-7 (in some future patch hopefully)
(1x) KV-1S
(2X) BA-64 (yes I know clown cars-but! no satchels for infantry here)
(1x) Universal Carrier

Axis
(4x) Panzer III
(1x) Pazer IV F1
(3x) Sdfkz 251 (the apc)
Also for axis I would like to see anti-tank rifles (Pzb38s?) to combat the Soviet tanks as the Soviet team would be using PTRDs.
I think this is a cool formula for a combined arms map.

Sounds interesting, I'd like to see some more early war maps too, heck, I'd like to see more maps period, but thats just me loving the game.

I would suggest you have someone move this thread into the mapping/level editing section of the forums, it might be more useful there, you might even give a mapper a good idea for his next map.

Maybe a few P38(T)s to.

 

[Letum]

How about:

Allies:
(1x) Universal Carrier
(2x) AT rifles
Axis
(1x) Panzer III


With some good map balancing that would be a refreshing change to the maps where every tank is matched by it's exact counterpart.

Been on about this for a while. Would love to see it.

there is a custom map out there called Berezina beta 4 which is a early war combine arms map. The Germans get Panzer IV F1 I believe while the russians have KV-1 and BT-7 (the BT-7 is a custom and there still working on the tank models and skins so it currently looks like a T-60 but is modelled to act like a BT-7, I believe the model of the BT-7 will come in the final version). But basically this map is what your looking for, atleast for now.

I think if someone would do that the PanzerIII-HE version should be used. So that you only have AP and HE grenades instead of APCR grenades.

They didn't have clown cars in 1941.

They didn't have clown cars in 1941.

Soviets had BA-10/11s.They come equipped with a 45mm gun turret(making it capable of holding it's own against Panzer IIs and 38s),coax machine gun and another machine gun mount to the right of the driver.

One interesting fact about this vehicle is that the tracks you see mounted on the side of it are for converting the vehicle into a half track for improved traction in mud and snow.

How about some T-26's or BT-7's vs Romanian R-35's with infantry on either side equipped with AT grenades/mines?

Berezina's your best bet right now. Until more models of early-war equipment are made, it's as good as it gets when it comes to combined arms and early-war engagements. It really is a lot of fun. Probably my favorite map.

 

[Roman Elite]

Yes Berinzina is truly a great but the map I'm thinking of is that both sides are attacking like Arad-only early war. It's always a lot of fun to have armor and infantry working together to win the day.
I was seriously considering the possibilties of T-26s but it seems to be asking for too much at this point. Early war needs more emphasis in RO and I think it has great potential for maps. CC mod

Letum you make a good point but for now I prefer seeing balanced maps. Mabye in time....

If any mapper wants to use these ideas, by all means- feel free lol!!!
