Sure, there will be a place for you. I don't think there's a 'team' anymore cause it's open beta now.

Changes to the bridges:

After

Good idea with those bridges. And Dennis has also great idea for sector layout, as for the town didn't saw fighting at all ( well, maybe little KV-2).

Also I like idea of 4 VPs. That was my first idea in the past.

Looks better, probably be a little less effective sitting in negative cover defending that VP, although I have to admit my defence there was pretty resilient given the beating you gave me with that goddamn Howitzer :P

... GoW annihilated everything you had there, Burro  :-\

That was not only mine, both Cranial and Killar had also one pounding the shit out of your bunkers  ;)

plus that.

Burro are you in for testing this evening, let's say at 10:00 forum time? Until then the sector layout should be done too.

I note:
Dennis
Me
?
?
?
?

I'm out today, so don't count me  :(

I'll be free then so I don't see why not.

Looks way better now with that new bridge.

Will Dennis sector layout be used?

Im in for testing  8)

Currently I have to versions, one is the result of yersterdays testing and the other one the experimental with Dennis' sector layout and the changes to the bridges. Plus we will need a new loading screen now because the hill has changed a lot.

Killar, Dennis, Burro, me, ?, ?.

Leave the loading screen. It's awesome!

I think evilspike will be in too. Lets test the Dennis version. Im looking forward to these changes (im eager how this will influence the strategy and fighting)

EDIT: some Ostheer units on the loading screen would be nice  ::)

That was a compstomp match in which I fortified the hill. Pretty lame. I think with today's testing, we can get even more awesome shots of that hill. ;)

Me either.

With Ostheer, huh?  ::)

which program do u use for screenshots?

I just press the Print (Druck) key ingame, for loading screens I use the console command "Misc_SuperScreenshot", for other games I use Fraps.

I'm up for testing today. Is there a new version already?

10:00 forum time = 3PM eastern time yes?

I can test it, but right now i have to try again kalach, maybe it will work. Dennis - yes, EF.

Try redownloading it and trying again? I think 10:00 forum time is 04:00 here. That's ok, I'll stay up.

New version will be uploaded until 8:00 forum time.

OK kalach working for me. I can test next version.

So it's Dennis, Burro, Cranial, Killar, Dzierzan and me for this evening. nice.

Teams? :P

Dunno about you guys but I'm feeling PE.

I would like to see Burro v.s. Dennis. I think that would be a good show. :D

yes if there is still a free slot im up for the next round^^

btw yes another loading screen would be better i think maxi and dennis knows why :D

btw some ostheer units in the background would be nice, maybe burro can handle this? :D

How subtle ape... Yes I know why :P

Yeah, we will leave the loading screen up to Burro, nevertheless I will take some shots if Mr. Diablo isn't in the mood for that.

Teams:
Dennis
Cranial
Maxi
    -
Burro
Killar
Dzierzan

Is that ok?

Seems swell.

i will change places with ape so he can play 2. round

Sounds good guys. This is in 2 hours right?

Correct. I'm currently finishing the minimap.

Palpatine - Good

:P

All of you testers will receive a PM with the dl link in some minutes.

Sum-up of both games:

- Sector layout has become a lot better
- Walls of the Castle need shot blockers
- Trees around the Eastern hill have to be moved to improve the pathfinding for PE

Anything to add?

yes, I saw this in one skirmish against AI. Not all frozen lakes have negative cover, and tanks behave strange on main road in Kalach ( near town main square) - they drive around like if there was invisible obstacle on the road.

Were they your tanks, or the A.I.s?

Mine, precisely Tiger I.

This about sums up our engagements...

HAHA! That's hilarious! ;D Who was who, though? :P

Dennis was playing Brits :P

Thought as such. I think Dennis needs a nerf. :P ;D

lol. fireflies have a insane range

and the range increased if you use command tank^^
what was it? vet 1 or 2?

Vet 1

You have to give credit to the 105 escorted by the 4 M10s. That obliterated a lot of Evilspike's AT-HTs and HT's with shrecks, the M10s would destroy and the 105 would kill inf.

After you killed the 105 of that engagement I focused more on arty and was starting to just spam M10s to harass the bases while the other two repaired and capped.

It was a pretty nice game but the axis team was confused as hell at the end due to the consistent rain of arty from all 3 teams (I believe, idk if dennis launched any)

Hey, Iosef was awesome too alongside those two tank hunter squads (one of the squads killed 3 Panthers!!!) :P
When this map is going public I'm waiting for more stalemates like that on Kalach :D

Of course, and you can't forget dennis' fireflies.

Though the axis team put up a pretty good fight, we saw panthers coming onto the field and we weren't entirely prepared.

I had a massive score at the end of that game. The first one I won in score also :P

I really like the new layout (not that I'm biased :D) because the combat really focused around the VPs. In the first game there was quite a few attempts by cranial and myself to ninja the townhouses VP but Burro had some nasty defenses. The battles we had near the river crossing were epic.

I had a pathing bug when I was Brit several times just NW of the castle near a tree. My stuart and priest got stuck there for ages.

Pity, that there was not me... :-\.

Lol, Make total destroy - wanton destruction of public property  ;D

looks like the map occured to be total tank battle, right?

Maybe when everyone will block all possible entrances and build mass tanks ;D.
