To answer:
Yeah, I noticed this as well. I didnt find a problem with the long LOS at all. Now it makes it even more difficult for the Russians as you have to wait till the Germans get even closer. Forgot to mention I love the map and the BT-7. I've had a blast in that tank.
+ I don't see that it causes too many problems, really, and the FPS gain certainly makes up for it. The most obvious area you notice this is when the Germans crest the 1st Line ridge attacking the 2nd Line. I changed it back to 18,000 units though so we will see what happens next.
-Why does the German Engineer have a rifle? Pioneers were always equipped with the MP-40 during this period. Their close up assault work required it!
+ I will insert a choice, if possible.
-Why do the Germans get protection at the first line? I tried to flank left with the BT-7, around the clump of woods near the 1st. line and got killed by spawn protection. It's not anywhere near German spawn.
+ They get the protection to stop exactly what you did. You flanked to a position that would allow you to fire into their spawn. On a big map, I tried to cover all areas like this to stop the raping.
-Is it me, or is the mini-map off just a bit? I had a hell of a time finding the radio for artillery. I was standing on the symbol on my mini-map, but the radio was quite a distance from where it was indicating.
+ Yes. I have spent countless time trying to get it right. The map is off a bit but people will learn where things are after playing a couple rounds. This is not a high-priority fix for me as I have tried every idea to fix it.
-While defending the 2nd line, do the Russians run out of tanks at that position after awhile? I kept spawning near the Village CP and there were never any tanks! I don't mind if the tanks are limited in number, but it makes you pretty worthless spawning that far away on foot and carrying a pistol. If you run out of tanks defending 2nd line, can we spawn at West Bank with a tank? There has to be some kind of fix for this. Perhaps a warning of some kind that tanks for the 2nd. line are exhausted?
+ They do run out. The count is 6 or 8, depending on where you are. It is not possible to move the spawns after the tanks are used up. The one thing I need to check is that the tank and tanker respawns are the same amount of time, that may be off. Otherwise you need to be more careful with the tanks you have and you need to alert your team that it is time to pull back. Otherwise your only choice is to run to the front and scrounge up a weapon off a dead guy.
-Some of the trees block tank shots, it's espeically annoying when it's a defoliated tree and you try to shoot between the branches. You can see each other, but not shoot each other. Is this because of the type of model/mesh used?
+ That's a model thing. If I turn them 'off' your shells will go through the trunks and offer no cover at all.
How about a protection area in front of the bunkers that says, "Return to your position or the Commisar will execute you for cowardice!"
+ My answer to that currently is to change my in-game name to: "I_TK_RiverCrossers". Have to watch those low-threashold TK servers though.I will admit to having shot comrades in the back though when they continually run over the river and die...at that point one more death from ME is a point made.

The BT7 is a pisser! it's a tin can, but yesterday I was holding the left flank of the "2nd Line" for almost 20 minutes w/out passing to the next world. I was bummed though, when I discovered that it takes TWO shots from the BT7 to kill a half track!!
+ I love that little tin can. You can do some serious damage early in the fight with it if you are smart and keep moving. I have a screenshot where I took out two PzIIIs with one shot each... I was near the AT guns and they parked themselves front-on at the road gap near the center tank pit on the 2nd line. Neither knew what hit them.
Germans won some, and the Russians won some. I must say, a russian team playing with organization and team work, congealing a defense around the "2nd Line" and winning, is a thing of beauty!
+ Yep. I played back to back round the other day where the Russians won both times. It CAN be done.
