If you like to gamble on your tanks bouncing shells then armor's better but if you play safe with them and pull them back when they get hurt you're usually better off with health.

Personally, I like to attack with panthers so HP would be best. If you do not have offensive tanks you will end up with stug/Su85 walls that are not offensive. Which leads to stale or stalled out play. And before you ask, Yes, I do smoke crack

Every job position has two options. If you are not paid much you usually do what you are told. If you are paid well, you have the option of growing the position to your vision of what it can be. Management expects you to be professional and driven. It is a chance for you to fatten your resume and prove your worth. Andy has proven he has the skills to get things done. Lets hope he is paid well so he can really branch out.

Congrats Andy! Make us proud!

Excellent work! That was a great read and very informative.

Version 2 is now ready:
REMINDER: This map was adjusted to exhibit my ideas of balancing the map. After some adjustments I went crazy with actually making it play better as well.

This version focused on balancing the right side building so that North/South will reach it at the same time. There were also some eye candy changes such as additional trees, grass, and shrubs. The rail lines above the center VP were removed and a fenced in storage area was added.


1. RIGHT SIDE BALANCE: To get the right side building to be the same distance for North/south took moving the North bases a lot. Three buildings had to be removed and the large fuel containers were moved to decrease pathing distance.


2. RIGHT SIDE BALANCE: I removed some of the green cover around the fuel and added green cover to the south side. The south side probably needs more cover to mirror the walls around the fuel. Many times when the south gets pushed out by the north team, they have no cover to fight back into position. Base rape is usually next. Many games see the south getting the fuel then being pushed out late game and never recovering. I also removed the brick debris piles around the fuel, as they have very strange LOS blocking issues. Maybe they were intentional. I do not like ambiguous LOS, so they are gone.


3. I removed a train section to make two paths out of your base. I also removed some debris around the destroyed building so units could sneak thru easier.


4. RIGHT SIDE BALANCE: Some distance needed to be added to the south base to get the timing to the building balanced. The fence in front of the base was extended and the fuel containers were moved to force a longer path.


5. LEFT SIDE BALANCE: As Sturmpanther noted, the south was still getting to the LEFT side faster. A fence and some debris were added to increase the pathing distance from south to left building. Interesting thing is how the Worldbuilder measuring tool is not very accurate. Also moved/removed objects left of the base to increase light vehicle movement (the clustertrucks).


6. LEFT SIDE BALANCE: Added a crane and more concrete panels to add LOS blocks. Not sure if they should be included, but there are flanks thru the industrial area on Right side, so they were added to reduce domination.


7. The upper dock section had some objects removed to allow for more OKW trucks and USF ambulance positioning options.


8. Since I was changing everything, I modified the left fuel industrial area. The alternate North/south path is now larger and has LOS blockers for better assaults/retreats. There is also a path on BOTH sides of the industrial area to allow for more flanking. Note: only infantry will fit thru the alternate path.


9. Moving the bases left a blank base area so an enclosed field was created.


10. Objects were moved around in the field above the right fuel. Trees were also added throughout the map by the roads, etc.

Here are the changes I made (would like to see):

1. Open the area north of the middle VP. Was already done in latest version with two rail sections. Great job!


2. Swap out center cargo containers for walls or some other destructable to allow for open late game play. Once again, armies regularly mass northeast of the cargo bays and get rekt by arty because everyone know that is the only place they could be.


3. Modified fence (top) to have some cover value. Added cover in road. Added building to mirror the north.


4. Opened field above right fuel to allow for more hiding places for amassed armies. Especially OKW trucks. They were too easy to wipe with mortar/arty. Also added a building since the south side has 3 points that are nearly untouchable. This gives south a fuel/muni advantage. The north points are constantly taken and can not be cached safely. Also opened the entrance to the field to allow northern armies to push the fuel easier.


5. Moved the left side fuel building to be centered and mirrors the right side fuel. Also removed the small building for north, since, it had no windows and just got in the way most of the time. Added sight blockers so building can be approach from north or south without instant suppression. One added benefit is the south base now takes a path left of its base and crosses the bridge to get to the building. Making the area south of the bridge at least feel like a part of the game. It now takes 1:01 for each spawn to get to the building.
