Normandy Map Discussion

If we get tanks we control, I am stating it now, someone set up a massive tank battle MP server and I am there, I'll try and make Wags join too ;)

CA 1944? :megalol:

CA = combined arms...

I'm pretty sure the WWII ground units will be available to control by player.. I don't see any reason to not be.

We have WWII units and we have CA system, so... why not? ))

Exactly, I don't see any reason why WW2 ground units should be any different than the current units regarding CA.

Yeah, I really expect all, or almost all of them to be usable in CA.

Any chance we could have a forward looking cockpit shot from the spitfire, pretty please? :music_whistling:

Why, is there a bar in the way?? :P :D :D

Lol:thumbup:

Haha :D actually with my RIFT the bar is no longer an issue

Note most CA units have custom "cockpits", this took significant work, well after CA was released. Don't expect 1st person perspective units, if any, to be polished.

They do? Was that always the case? Haven't touched CA in a while to be honest, because I'm waiting for some major changes, but I can't remember having cockpits. It was just a clear camera attached to the tank turret with some HUD symbology (speed, ammo, crosshair, ...).

Edit: Now when I thought about it, I think the HMMWV did indeed had a cockpit.

wait, they do? I only know those HUD thingies. I've never seen a "cockpit" for any CA unit. As far as I can tell there is a "eye point" for different positions and that's it.

EDIT:

LOL, didn't read QuiGon's post, which is identical to mine. :D

They units do have different symbology on the HUD, and some SAM units already have a radar panel.

Yeah I know, I just figured that's what he meant.

I imagine most WWII ground units would be fine with standard HUDs with a simple gun sight though.

...I admit a "Linealvisier 21" or a "Schwebekreisvisier 30/38" for a FlaK would be awesome, but not really necessary.

Apologies, yeah I admit that wasn't clear - admittedly they're called "cockpits" in the Files that define the customizations between the vehicles. A basic file framework if you will. Each Vehicle has its own framework in this manner, allowing to be built further upon, unique for each vehicle..

Looks like placable grass air fields are already included in the mission editor: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=170187

Included, but not functional yet.

Just to prevent confusion or bug reports :D

Included, but not functional yet.

I knew it is better to say "included" than "usable" :D

Thanks for confirming though :thumbup:

Right, they were implemented to the editor. But you can't see it in the game yet.

Good news! a sure sign things are moving in the right direction.

I'm extremely stoked for this map, it's gonna be awesome to climb in the Spitfire or Bf109 and go for a spin on this map.

Keep up the great work Racoon :thumbup:

........happy days ahead:pilotfly:

Racoon,

Would you be able to tell us what date the Normandy map is being built around? Just wondering which of the ALGs might be included and at what point of the invasion it has been constructed around. I don't recall seeing that information anywhere yet. This would help us plan ahead and give us an idea of what to expect. Missions take some time to create so it would be nice to start forming some ideas and let the creativity start flowing. :) I understand if it has not all been decided yet.

Also, have trains in Normandy been confirmed?

Wasnt it 1944?

(Since it was titled and marketed 1944 by the original studio before E.D. took over)

Sorry Skate, I should have been more specific. When in June 1944? The landscape changed dramatically.
