New Map- German Secret Base
 

Hey All, I was thinking, why not make a map that incorperated both the V2 rocket model that has already been made ( http://forgottenhope.bf1942files.com/vehicles/V_bombs.jpg )and the HE 162 jet fighter plane ( http://forgottenhope.bf1942files.com/vehicles/german/he162.jpg ) model. We could make the map a secret German base, that has a large underground central tunnel on the hill next to the side of a mountain. The large tunnel would be a plane hanger for the HE162's, but there also would be a few large rooms on each side. Some of these rooms would have caches of Germans guns, and the other rooms would have V2 lanching pads. The V2's would come out of the sides of the hills, and you could open a metal door on the top side of the hill to expose the missles for launching. The Hill itself would be protected from advancing infantry by two large cement structures with gun emplacements and two sandbag protected machine guns. The Hill would also be protected from allied aircraft and tanks due to its two flak 88 guns on top of the cement structures.

Now, the Allies would start off comming out of a forest, and they would have set up camp with a few tents. They would be equipt with 4 shermans, a large sherman, a priest and 2 troop transporters.It would be their task to destroy the flak 88's and the German machine guns, then capture the base before the krauts launch their V2's and destroy stuff.

This is a rough idea but I think if the FH team looked into it we could make a really fun and popular map :smokin:

Sounds a lot like that map outta rtcw with caves etc. This idea is ok compared to other ideas i've heard lately but heres a few problems

1) this is a realism mod so no fake battles plz

2)those models shown are very old and probably getting re done

3)Theres still real maps missing such as all french and italian maps! not to mention other important battles

4)if you want "what if" scenario maps theres Alpenfestung

5)This map would require time, lots of it.Fh team will spend that time on stuff 100000000 times better.

Go play RTCW. Seriously.

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

Yeah Al Capone I realize the FH team is really busy right about now. However the map isn't too unrealistic, there were German V2 bases in France in 1944 that were captured by allied forces. The bases were in hills and they were equipt with some airplanes that defended them, not to mention AA and machine gun emplacements.The map was just a thought :) . I hope we could have some maps with V1/V2 in the future though :smokin: And Meadow was that comment nessasary?

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

Sounds like a good idea for a map, but i agree with AL...

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

don't get me wrong it's an ok idea but maybe not just now.Also there was a map for fh 0.5 called Giza that had awesome v1 rockets on it.Wonder what happened to that since it's not been converted to 0.61

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

It was necessary, because RCTW has exactly what you're looking for! I was suggesting a game that has the kind of game style you want, why is that so wrong?

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

How the hell do you know what I want? Thats kinda creepy there Meadow :uhoh: ! I like realism alot, I just thought perhapes a cool map that was slightly realistic (there were underground V2 factories with bunkers, AA and planes protecting them) would be a change from the usual major battles.

Raid on Pennemunde? Unarmed German rocket scientests get bombed by Brittish planes? That at least happened.

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

reminds me of the half life mod where you kill scientists.

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

Unarmed yes, innocent...?

Who is responsible for the lives lost?
The man who built the bomb?
The man who ordered the drop of the bomb?
The man who dropped the bomb?

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

Each and every one of them is responsible.The only one who has any kind of innocence is the one who dropped it.He could argue he was simply following orders but the people who made and ordered the bomb are responsible.There was 2 peenemunde maps already, an air attack with brits and a ground attack with russians but they got scrapped.... :uhm:

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

Lets not get into responsibilities now people...hehe

:lurk:

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

One problem with your map Idea, and others that are similar, is that you don't seem to understand how the V1 and V2 worked.

These were not guided missles, nor were they designed to take out specific targets, they were vengance(SP?) weapons, fired over the English Channel into England hoping to hit somewhere where they will do the most damage, making them fireable would be pointless, as their range would be beyond the map.

The best way to use them would be an attack on the launch facilities (like you suggested) but not have them launchable.

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

V1, V2, Maus, can' t you be creative? all the same ideas, let' s get some new ideas: a map where the allied are all dressed as the KISS and they have to find the UFO crashed in Roswell.

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

Well, we could have a map where we fire V3 rockets out of a big Birtha cannon from France to England, but I dont think the maps are big enough. The channel isnt the big though :)

Re: New Map- German Secret Base
 

If you made it an objective map where the allies were trying to destroy the V1 launch pads and the Germans fighters were defending you could add in a cool effect where the Allies also have to shoot down all the V1's or say they lose 25 casualties for every V1 that makes it off the map.

Neat Idea Myrddrall :) ! But is it programmable?
