[Map] Steel Thunder (4km) [WIP]

[ShoX]

Design Plan is outdated.
So just switch the TOW Chopper to Tiger an its okay.

But are you sure with x4 MTB vs. x2 MTB? I would remove 1 Wiesel (btw.: Wiesel 2?) TOW and add 1 MTB, also add a Transport Chopper, because no transport chopper is a big handicap...

actually i like this setup - this way you would have one Puma + Wiesel Tow vs 1 MBT + 1 APC
If the Puma would get a good armor (which it should) you can use lots of tactics. Also - it depends on if the Puma gets the Spike missile and therefore AT capabilities
but it would be worth a try.

I didn't know pumas had AT? Interesting...

It will get the Spike-LR missile - although the prototypes so far did not have it on them. It will be mounted on the side of the turret and contain 2 missiles.

some time after the introduction of the Puma the Wiesel 1 TOW will be replaced by a new design carrying the Spike. but this will still take some time and isn't even in the design phase yet

nice color scheme. gives it a different "woodland" feel

ooo, is that farmland terrain texture custom? I didn't see it in the editor, and I was gonna do some farms on my own map, could you tell me its detail texture name?

Great looking map! Very different than the usual ones!

[AfterDune]

Looking quite good . Keep it up!

Very nice! More Pics!

Very nice work Hugh , glad you took up some of my ideas.

[Drav]

Looking great!!

[Zoddom]

I think you have to change the name, because of the already existing map Steel Thunder
"Rolling Thunder" would be nice, thats a map in POE with GER vs UKR and it looks very similar

No..its isnt.

EDIT :I mean it isnt similar.

[HughJass]

thanks for all the comments, and the name of the map is 'Iron Thunder'.

[rangedReCon]

Good freaking job.

Hope not been late to give some feedback.

-Steel Thunder is simple the best map from the old days, and that one is not even compared with it.
ST was all about armored battles, tanks moving and flanking and quick take offs in the wooden area.
Jeeps just give speed to movements in that map and Air calvary is explicit for supporting. And that was 64players
-16players was all about infantry and speed of movements.
-And the map was dark enough to make tactics work with stealth.

I know people will pick me and say that PRM already has enough wood maps, but it has nothing like S.T.

[HughJass]

sorry to tease so much but here is a shot i just really wanted to post

lastly.. thanks for the comments
