Lancaster ? What do you think about the FW190's in that map ? ;)

Re: THE... World War Map Timeline..
 

You ported Fish River to Fh?? Ehh it was nice when it was like the first custom map for bf1942 but now...

"..might want to mark those as better..."

I meant better, as in more easy to tell. The italics are ok but most people aren't go to read through the whole intro, also that text is not real clear in its meaning. There's a difference between a map that could be similair to a real life event but not quite, and one similair but thats intended as fictional, such as alpen.. In the end its the posters decscion and most people know anyway what maps are fictional so its not a big deal.

Anyway which of these fan maps work with .65 and are good enough to bother downloading?

Re: THE... World War Map Timeline..
 

Ummm... do you think Supercharge should be before El Alamein, because on the loading screen for Supercharge there is a sign pointing to El Alamein :)

Re: THE... World War Map Timeline..
 

Bombing the Reich is 1943 (because it says it). Of course the Lancaster, FW190 and the Bf109G are only dead give aways but then again the Spitfire and Hurricane are 1939/40 aircraft.

DICE maps are generic, any resemblance to actual battles is pure coincidence and luck.

Re: THE... World War Map Timeline..
 

Bombing the Reich involves crossing a large channel and bombing a naval industry.. Wilhemhaven & Kiel were among the 2 closest such naval towns IN germany.. And according to RAF records was attacked then, the only other time Kiel was hit was by the RAF was April 9th 1941, April 10, 1945 and May 2nd 1945 the US bombed Kiel during 1943. While Wilhelmshaven was bombed along with Kiel on July 5th 1940, with no other raids by the RAF against Wilhelmshaven. The US handled all other bombings of the town in 1943. The Lancaster was introduced late 1942, but for this to be a British bombing the Germans map.. it would favor more being one of those two towns in comparison especially taking into account its at night.the US also handled the bombings of Bremerhaven the other closest naval town.

I do not know which of the Custom maps listed play with FH, a few do show up in the map list when FH is activated. But I do not know which are ported.

Next to the better of the group maps are the recommendations.. Peleliu, Ruhr Valley, Corsica, Korsun, Tarawa, Alama, Night of Nights, St Sauver, Liberation of Nuenen & Harlingen, are the favorites.

Operation Supercharge was Montgomery's offensive in the second battle of El Alamein I believe.

Re: THE... World War Map Timeline..
 

yes.. Supercharge was Monty's breakout at El Alamein..

Re: THE... World War Map Timeline..
 

I think we should make it perfectly clear; the Map selection states Bombing the Reich-1943, the splashscreen states 1943, the aircraft seem to be from 1943 and not 1940. The question is whether the map is supposed to be a generic representation of the British Bombing raids over the third reich or a representation of a specific raid, I consider it the former.

It could be made to represent that specific raid if the correct aircraft were included and the skymap changed to day/dusk, infact it could be all three of them with only a few changes. Take some time and figure out what the basic design could be used for.

The BoB map pretty much covers what the Germans did to the British, except the bombing of civilians. BtR comes with so much more potential; commando raids with naval and air support, American day bombing, Mosquito Night Airstrikes even Naval engagements of Destroyer size of course with air support. I can see myself flying the Dak on Para missions.

hmm.. breaktrough was 27th of July 1944 you say.. interesting..
so panzerfaust 30 would be the standard issue german AT weapon, not the 100 :)
