I took many interesting photos and, most importantly, descriptions of them from here. (Warning, there are some dead bodies)
And I took the color photos from allied video footage of German prisoners of war in the Ruhr pocket. The only color images of this area from those years that I could find.
And from several other sites where I was looking for information on this operation.
Comet tank near Wesel. Ruhr operation - 1945.
I really think every nation should have at least 1 full urban map. Germany and ussr have stalingrad and berlin while japan could get manila. Ruhr would be perfect for usa since they can just copy paste berlin houses and add couple landmarks
Oh, that would be super cool. Although, in my opinion, Pacific front lacks a map with a real jungle.
And not with these monstrously disgusting flat islands that are shot across the entire map, between which you have to wade while they shoot at you from the other end of the map.
I made this Manila map a while ago to see what the city would look like in enlisted. It was made before burma update so it doesn’t have the new buildings. For the jungle map i think increasing the amount of trees and bushes in guadalcanal could work. They will just have to prevent AI from shooting through bushes
ngl, thats an incredible looking map considering what you had to work with.
I just wish the rendinst limits weren’t so damn strict and enlisted servers could handle more weight. I had to cut lots of buildings to make it work.
Yes, I played this map. Unfortunately, I couldn’t fully appreciate it because I encountered it in defense, and there were only bots.
I think I saw you come in when I testing my mod.
The same problem exists with terraforming. Navmeshes for heavily terraformed maps are indecently heavy.
I have 110 problems with the editor and 95 of them are related to navmesh. It is the bane of my existence. I can’t even count how many of my maps stopped working because the navmesh made the file size too big
I can’t remember that. What kind of map were you testing?
Nothing too special. It’s simply a fortified area map with a custom profile and some minor tweaks - new ravines, bunkers, houses, vehicles, and weapons have been placed across the map.
Now i remember that map! The profiles were really fun especially kp 31 squad
I decided to replace it with kiraly in the final version. In the future, I plan to replace weapons in several more squads.
Excellent point.
Ruhr for USA-UK - agreed.
Manila - agreed but also suggest Singapore for low BR and British-Commonwealth map.
@c4qph2 Yes, I have suggested New Guinea many times for a proper jungle eg the Kokoda Track.
The first time the Japanese were beat on land (by my countrymen Australians)
@iso_seppo123 Very impressed with custom Manila map, really well done!
Considering how slow and lazy the devs are with new maps they should open queues up to custom maps at same time as standard maps (but must be realistic to WWII)
Yes, it would be really cool to see all these maps. However, the picture is a bit clouded by the fact that the developers can’t make a map ONLY for the Commonwealth or ONLY for Australia. Unless all the Americans get British and Australian alter egos just for those maps.
Hmm, in theory, the Soviets could get Korean and Vietnamese alter egos for the Korean and Indochina wars, and the Americans could get French alter egos.
Yes, more late-war theatre for US/UK vs Germany especially we haven’t had any large urban warfare featuring them similar to Battle of Berlin.
Fair point, noting too that Manila was a U.S only battle.
I made a post about this suggesting auto uniform swap for UK-USA similar to Italy on most Eastern Front maps.
New Guinea standard British uniforms would be fine. (though 1st Agas uniforms should be freely available for all soldiers anyway)
