Now this one sounds promising. Should be interesting to see if the russians can use the superior speed and numbers to flank/outmanouver the german force.

 

[Zhukov]

any screenies?

 

[Sichartshofen]

Coming soon.

I hope you realize the biasdness of it all...
And youre actually promoting solo-tanking for the Russians...

 

[Zhukov]

good good.
I hope you will do a Danzig realism map with plenty of cover for the German side not how it is now with its unrealistic 20 ways to get behind the defenders.

And youre actually promoting solo-tanking for the Russians...

Im pretty sure this was because several people on this forum demanded more Russian tanks.

I hope you realize the biasdness of it all...

How? In what way?
If you were talking about the German fortificatons thats expected they are on the defensive and naturally had good fortifcations no army in the world wouldn't have any.

 

[kapulA]

Yeah...
But 8 2 man crewed tanks are the maximal number if no-one chooses infantry...By doing this you actually encourage all the newbies and solo tankers to rush off and get killed...

 

[kapulA]

In what way?
More panzerfausts for the Germans,removing cover on the South Bank...
But thats all I can say from reading this...
A play-test is in order,so disregard all these comments as they are only first impressions from the readme,when I see how it plays on a full server Ill give some actual constructive critiscism.

They did invent them and it was the only German weapon which there was always a surplus of even in Berlin.

yes.

 

[kapulA]

Ofcourse it was in surplus,but saying that the Russian team should get like 64 men opossed to the Axis as they had a huge superiority in manpower...
You see,by making one thing realistic and leaving others the way they are you seriously damage balance.

Ofcourse,dont take this as a flame,just a discussion.

 

[Sichartshofen]

64 players will lag the hell out of the game. As for solo tanking, the russian tanks will all be funneled into the objectives. Noobs will have nowhere to run off to, except into minefields.

Screenies:

South bank defenses

Ammo bunker entrance

South bank fortifications

Penninusla defenses

I haven't played this version, but have you changed that text about Nordland (that the tanks were helped by Scandinavian volunteers from Nordland)? Nordland was changed in a division in '43 and was transferred to Leningrad/Narva. The regiment that helped the tanks was Westland (with Dutch and Flemish volunteers).

Next to that the map looks promising, I hope that this one will replace the normal one.

Played 3 rounds last night on RTR against a horribly inept Russian team.

To my surprise the German tanks actually pushed into the north bank and captured it. Like always most of the Russians were sitting across from the penninsula shooting at the infantry in the trenches. Until Panthers rolled up and blew them away or Panzerfausts found their way across the frozen river. Too soon to say before I change any of the layout. There's some terrain near 2 trenches that needs to be flattened. There's a small hole in the new bunker entrance that needs to be filled.
