[WIP] (2-4) Bystraya Voda

• Changed the south area. The map border is now a frozen lake.
  
• The area around the south cut-off for eastern player has been changed, with the intention of making it more defendable.
  
• New screenshots here and on steam workshop.
  

• Added some foliage along the river.
  
• New loading screen.
  
• New screenshots here and on steam workshop.
  

• Details, splines, splats, eye-candy!
  
• All dirt roads now give negative cover!
  
• The Church has been moved back and now has a small graveyard!
  
• Other small changes, tweaked sector layout, etc.
  

• Moved the VPs around.
  
• Reworked some sectors.
  
• Some eye-candy.
  
• New atmosphere settings.
  

• Removed some shot and sight blockers, made some hedges shorter.
  
• Moved some strat points so they do not block vehicle pathing. The capture areas are still the same.
  
• Added some more eye pleasers.
  

• Moved the west VP to hopefully make it more harassable.
  
• Closed the map a bit with more vis-blockers to give more flanking options and make it feel larger.
  
• Removed 2 sectors in the north.
  

• Custom loading screen image.
  
• Added some cover at north VP.
  
• Custom minimaps.
  
• Fixed some impass bugs.
  

• Moved VPs.
  
• Reworked sector layout to get more cutoff possibilities.
  
• The north of the map is reworked.
  
• Added base bunkers.
  
• Strat points moved further away from the bases, to avoid being able to reinforce from base while defending them.
  
• Base exits reworked.
  
• Probably a lot of things I forgot.

The intention is the force the players to fight for the south fuel point in the early game, just like on the old Pointe du Hoc.
Late game will then move the battle to the north for extra munitions and the VP.

The frozen river is a fast but risky way for vehicles to quickly get across the map, like the road on Angoville.

This looks like a nice map. ONe thing you might want to try and tweak is the shape of the snowflakes, from the screenshots they look to be quite square

I played a bit with the width of the river, and you were right. It's so much better 50-100% wider than before.

Nice map! Love the idea of the single fuel to fight for. Can I download it somewhere and test it?

First impressions:

1. Maybe three fuel better then one. Otherwise soviet probably in disadvantage because they need a lot of fuel.

2. VP's seem to be very close to base. That would mean that it is only possible to really capture 2 of the 3 vp's

3. One VP has hedgerow between it and the base the other one doesn't. maybe it is possible now to cover the vp with an mg that is located in the base section?

anyway, looking forward to seeing it live!

You have one too many normal points and are missing one of the fuel points on the map. Map doesn't seem to have any one or two areas that you are supposed to focus on. Vps and resource points seem to be in the advantage of the western player was well.

cover is also a little weird some parts of the map have tons of cover all around and others nothing. A lot of the points ( pretty much everyone) also don't have any cover inside them making them kinda hard to fight over.

Cool looking map over all though reminds me a lot of world in conflict.

I personally believe that points shouldn`t have cover inside of them. Makes it risky to actually cap it ( as it should be from the beginning). You should be in a dilema, loose MP to get the point or get in cover fend off the enemy and then cap.
As for the resource advantage I think he is right. But it may just look like it while in reality the distance to them may be the same for both sides.

Yeah I went crazy with the small bushes, not realizing they gave yellow cover.

The missing fuel point is on purpose, I want to see how it plays out. All current maps have a fuel point for each player.

Yes I need to do something about things feeling closer to the western player
