Settings:
Germany (US Marines/ US Army/ GB Forces placeholder) vs Russia (Chinese Place Holder)
AAS v3

Description:
A fairly new establishment in Belarus, that relied on its water plant for electricity and water, suffers from large water level drops and is quickly abandoned. This area now servers as a major interest and strategic point for both factions, as it is the best way to get across the river, and on to each others territory.

Map is 4x4

Loadout:

tanks/apcs/possibly a heli

Looks interesting, keep it up!

Though, perhaps you should use the british army as placeholder, the L85 comes a bit closer to the G36 than the M4 imo.

The pictures are looking amazing :D good effort.

Just one thing I noticed on the mini map, don't 3a/b seem easier to defend than 2a/b? I'd need to actually have a look around the map but by the looks of things the Ruskies are gonna have a nice easy time picking off any advances. Again, I'm not sure and I'm probably wrong but the map looks a bit lop sided.

Looking very nice though.

Why not?
Like i said, "perhaps" because of the rifles, that could change the gameplay. Which doesnt have to be a bad thing.

looks great. And for the placeholder leave US Army, they fitted the map well in 0.5, and if the Russians not done put Chinese back on.

Having problems with the maps overgrowth, I have no idea how to get so much trees in a map and make it not lag, or not get LOD problems. Irontaxi, HOW DID YOU DOEZ IT?

LOD problems => go to compile and generate overgrowth atlas.
Lag => open fools road in the editor and see how he did it.
italso might be that your undergrowth is too dense or high
