Omaha Beach Suggestion

i apologize if this has already been suggested before, but i would like to suggest an Omaha Beach map.

Its very simple actually, because PR specializes in squad and team work, this map would be an excellent way to work with PR at its best.

2 teams, one being the US and the other, the Insurgents (teams dont even have to be modified for gameplay)

would start off.. the US in the transport boats, each squad leader would assign or take charge of taking the boat he is responsible for onto the beach and make his way up onto the beach with his squad. The oposing team would start off on the beach, build bunkers, MG nests and such things to fend off the attacks.

I'm suggesting basically the map and beach infiltration and team based gameplay. but going the full way and making a small patch to include that map with WWII weapons is optional or at your own liking.

Because this type of gameplay is difficult to run, i suggest behind the enemie's front and Mg's and such are the caches that you must detroy in order to win the insurgency gameplay.

limit the time, and have both teams coordinate their defensive or attack plans.

at my liking, a Omaha beach map, the one the US infiltrated on D-Day for WWII would work best and be immensly fun, but im mostly suggesting the type of gameplay. such a simple quick one team attack the other defend. in a beach infiltration cinerio.

Welcome to the PR forums.

There's already a new PR map like that (map might be in .8 ) ...But I forget the name...It's USMC vs. PLA and it has a huge beach,with all the goodies for a beach assault...

"go map it yourself" tends to be the sentiment tbh. As you can imagine, there are not shortage of good and not so good map ideas, but there aren't enough mappers to make them all.

There is a community beach assault map going called Dragon's Mouth, and an island assault map that one of the DEVs was/is working on. That should provide us with some beach assaulting goodness. :D

Given the boats that we have in PR, and the upcoming deployable 50 cals...this would be a easy map for the defenders.

Gonna needs some serious air power for the attackers to punch a way through.

glad to hear that.. i just hope something of that sort gets added onto PR it makes a great gameplay feature. That's what PR's here for after all.

in omaha. that was the allies biggest problem, they didn't have the airpower. coordination, commands and percision aming was all they had. something which should be incorporated as well.

Can you imagine anyone assaulting a fixed position in modern times without some kind of edge in either armor or airpower? Dragon's Mouth is going to have APCs to do the smashing.

a modern assault would also do the works. as long as coordination is a must in the gameplay not just jumping into an APC and driving up the beach.

APCs ain't tanks, don't worry about them just trying to steamroll over everything, the infantry is going to have to coordinate well with them or combined H-AT and L-AT fire will wipe them out and strand a whole bunch of troopers on the assault ship. :)

It just can't work in modern times - hell, it barely worked back then.

Even then, why would any modern army, with such awesome intelligence capacity, send hundreds or thousands of its soldiers to a worthless death on a beach somewhere? PR maps have to be thought out as they would be fought in reality, not as they might be fought in some Spielberg movie you've seen.

were not sending hundreds or thousands of troops,, PR only supports up to 64 players. lol.

ok.. but that's not the point, its strategic gameplay, and these things have actually happened, not just in a movie, and can still. PR could offer that experience.

wow the US team is gonna get torn up pretty bad then... i mean with the QBZ as accurate as it is in full auto + many other good weapons i doubt the US team will be able to get onto the beach early on in the .8 release. eventually though people will start figuring out ways to do it but yeah...

I just hope the U.S. will get some good vehicle support...Until they capture the beach,and then like all the vehicle support will stop spawning and the US will have less vehicle support...

You know what, now that I think about it, this thread is kind of superflous. Please redirect all speculation on the topic to here: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f66-co ... h-wip.html

I think FH2 would be a better platform for this,

the only amphibious operation that was planned like this was in the 2nd gulf war? But that was only a backup if the ground invasion was unsuccessful?

Fact is that no modern military is going to throw its men at emplaced positions without a multitude of supporting weapon systems, fast jets, fire from naval support vessels, etc
