Project Normandy - General Discussion

[Arc_Shielder]

Good to see some progress on this matter.

I hope the beach scenario in the pic is Juno. Cos I freaking hate Dog Green and Omaha type maps where u run towards MG fire without any particular cover... :-/ That isn't fun on neither side after awhile...

Hmm, have a feeling that germans will be able to spawn in the beach with no limited kits. So for the most part they will resort to the deployable assets.

Looking at the logs Dune wroted and I quote "teeny tiny beach". So yeah, I guess you have your answer there. Seems like a smart idea, my feeling is that americans will feel more obstructed in trying to climb the cliffs rather than the beach razor wire obstacles and german heavy fire.

If you land on the beaches by yourself, you may as well swim back.
If you land on the beaches with all your teammates, you have a good chance of survival.

I'm not locking the map to any particular area. It's fictional. Has Omaha moments, but Pointe du Hoc as well.

Oh my! This is looking really great, although I think that North Afrika would be better for PR.

Nice vid. As Romagnolo well said, I hope that when 128p is fixed, we will enjoy it in Normandy. If we can make an event for 200p, better even!

[=Romagnolo=]

It's looking amazing !

Imagine 128 players on that. I WANT IT MORE THAN VIETNAM !

[Adriaan]

Looks awesome AD!

Dude my pants, come on bro ...

[Wakain]

lol, I love the band of brothers style

Maybe there could be some kind of ins mode, where the Germans search for weapon caches from the Resistance?

[AfterDune]

Someone else may take care of that when the project is released. I deliver it as is .

Why would you want to do that?

WW2 has even less accurate guns, rubbish planes, slow *** tanks, and slow jeeps.

Next time, read the whole thread first.

[Snazz]

Apart from their historical appeal, the characteristics of WW2 assets provide a different gameplay experience.

PR + FH2 with 128 players = My dream come true

Would be awesome to play with a Hellcat... and with a Stug as well...
Perhaps some day it will happen...

[AfterDune]

There's a bunch of German tanks in BGF, but got no US tanks to counter them. And then there's the part where the vehicles have to be re-coded, to have separated driver/gunner.

Don't worry, there will be enough toys to play with .

Considered the M26 Pershing from BF:Korea?



Pershings were rare in WW2 compared to Shermans, however if Project Normandy isn't meant to be 100% authentic than it's 'close enough'.

[AfterDune]

I have, but since it wasn't used a lot in WW2 and I don't know how to code them, I let that idea go. But if anyone knows how to code them (separate driver/gunner, etc.), I'm more than happy to put tanks in the map - though they will be scarce.

BGF offers a couple of tanks. I'm not at home right now, so can't look at what tanks are actually available (moddb contains renders of unfinished tanks as well), but from the top of my head: Panzer III, Panzer IV, StuG III. They come in various skins as well.
