More historical maps wanted
« on: July 29, 2013, 06:52:50 AM »
For FSO:s and historical scenarios. For example the Kursk salient which saw arguably the heaviest buildup and fighting of the entire war, a area covering Oboyan in the North, Kursk of course, Belgorod in the South. Also, there were no less than 4 epic battles in the Charkov area, something worth looking into. JG54 was remarkably stationary in the east throughout most of the war at Novgorod, operational over Leningrad, Velikiye Luki and reaching east into Soviet airspace.

Just to name a few. I find the game overall lacking terribly in covering the air battles of the ostfront. It should be known also that Kerch saw some heavy fighting too, as well as Simferopol and Sevastopol in Manstein's efforts to secure the peninsula. A map cover Kiev, Cherkassy, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhya (don't make me pronounce those names correctly) would also open up for vast historical scenarios in both ground and air action, and what about Stalingrad (Volgograd today)?!?

Have you considered making a map?  I highly suggest you pick the area of the Ost Front you want and start hammering away on the keyboard and pointing and clicking on that mouse like Mozart to a piano.  You'll have it done in no time.   :aok

I will say though that there are some awesome maps available in the SEA's that  wish HTC (or whomever) would remove the historically places bases and instead lay out three pieces of the pie to be used in the MA.  We'd get a lot more browns and tans instead of just green.

While player-made maps are always a welcome addition for various uses, any terrain to be used in a Special Event will be created by the Terrain Team. They are a dedicated group of terrain makers who use many tools to make the maps as accurate to the theater as possible, while still making them useable for Events.
