I'll try to be there also. I've been away from the game for a quite a while and could use some tips.

This was the most disgusting example of a tank night I've ever seen. There had to be almost 15 or more people, with everyone shooting at each other! I mean REALLY!!!! What has this game come to!!???????
HEHEHEHE! This was one of the best so far Jaeger! Thanks for all your hard work and volunteered time. You are appreciated!
-
That was a hoot! Thanks for setting it up.
:salute

tonight was one of the most awesome tank nights we've had. thanks to everyone for coming in. ill try to get some screen shots up as soon as possible.

that was a blast. had a great time.was gonna log off 20 times but couldn't do it. I was addicted.
just a notice not a complaint: on our side there is one spawn where you are near the water and you are stuck when you spawn in. but it was great terrain great company and great fast battling

Fantastic night! At one point I saw at least 15 people on and more than that participated as some had to leave and others came in. Terrain is great and the central bridge acts as a choke point that concentrates the action so you always knew where the fight was. Great job on the terrain. Only minor drawback was the Axis spawn was in an open area which naturally lead to a bit of spawn camping because of the close distance between spawns. Perhaps draw those two spawns back just a bit.

I normally give tank night about an hour but I couldn't leave either. It was great fun!
Well done everyone!
:cheers:

Dam sorry I missed it I have not gone out with the lovely wife ack for months since my new schedule, plus a lot of medical and personal issues. I will be taking the realms back this month for tank wars and I am thankful for a great AVA Co as jager covering for me

I have to apologize to everyone, I should've called it the bridge at Remagen. base 7 and 14 were the battle area, with the bridge between being the choke point. at times both side tried to cross the bridge. The fights were intense. The ridgeline allowed for tanks to line up and fire at targets on the other side of the river. With equal numbers on both sides, and the tanks relatively evenly matched, no one seemed to have an advantage.
there was lots of smoke being put out, and it literally went straight across the bridge. you would then run across the bridge and the smoke was so thick, you would pass a bad guy, and only see him for a second. it was amazingly realistic. coming out of the smoke on the other side, of course they were waiting for you. to be involved in such an exciting battle was the best part. everyone seemed to have a great time. if you missed it, you missed one of the wildest tank fights I've ever had the pleasure of being part of.
I will try to fix a few issues of the issues that people reported to me with the terrain. some of it might be out of my realm. I will also try to add some more trees to the axis side so there's a little more ground cover when they spawn.
all in all, it was a very successful and exciting night. I want to thank each and every one that participated and helped make it at
fun night. hopefully we'll see you all next week.
my plan for next week is to use bases V5 and V12 with 2 bridges instead of one.
ill try to post some screen shots in here when I have some time.
thank you all!

Got to add my two cents, it was awesome. :banana:
I had to leave early, didn't want to, played until I got yelled at by the wife. can't wait for the next one. this was my first time and I must say woohoo! :x
see you next time...
thanks!

Great fun last night Gary! Thanks for saving me a parking spot! :rofl

Need to add such a spawn to MA maps, hard to camp, and keep it far enough away from Airfields.

My suggestions/comments:
It was a BLAST with all the participants!
If 6-8 players or less, one bridge. If more, than 2 bridges.
Back up spawns 1-2K so that there is a reward for killing the other guy (i.e time to get on bridge and possibly get across). Last week, you kill them, they are back shooting at you before you can even start your engine. That is why really no one crossed until crowd thinned down.
The "mud" on the riverbank that acts like water I found inconsistent. There were times I was very close to the water and was on solid ground. Other times I was on a slope no where near the water (at least 150 ft away from water) and was stuck in it.
Good job on keeping the tank mix even. Panzer vs Shermans is good. Next step up would probably be T-34/85's vs Panthers.
The fog seemed to impact people differently. I had times where the EME tank that was shooting at me was completely in white (cannot see anything but white) but the other can clearly see me and all his shots were aimed perfectly.
