New Kharkov and Battle of the Bulge

UPDATE 2011Feb17: A small glitch in the placement of one machine gun has been fixed. Thanks to Mitch for reporting it.

Kharkov and Battle of the Bulge have been given the DarkRyda touch. Here's a rundown of the improvements to these two maps (now live on TPU):

Kharkov: added a few more cars in various places; gave both sides artillery at their main bases, instead of just on the hill; added machine guns and AA in strategic locations.

Battle of the Bulge: added planes (Mustang, Ilyushin, BF109 and Stuka); added Katyushas, some at the flags but mostly in empty areas); added more cars; added a heavy tank at the Allied main base; added AA guns to all sandbag rings and a few other strategic locations; added machine guns to defend bridges and strongholds; added new spawning locations for tanks and cars so players don't get stuck walking long distances.

Hey Dark,What about that flame thrower you was talking about?Is it still possible to have one here? Wooow that would be so cool! But I love what you and Mojo did to all the maps. Simply brilliant!

well there is no flame throwers in 1942, but when i come around to doing the battlegroup version of kharkov i could add a flame thrower.

There's a flamethrower tank in BG42 - that's the only one I know of. BF42 has jet packs, though.

well i know of at least 3 different flame throwing units in bg42, i know about the jet pack in secret weapons, but if ur saying there is a jet pack in 1942, i didnt know that, what is it called, where is it hidden in the game, hows it written in the programming, and can it be used in any 1942 maps? if so.... we'll be seeing em on the server. if there really is a 1942 jet pack, iv modded most of the maps in a way so that they can still be added onto if a future idea came up, just in case. if its possible to add jetpack, i can do it

im also gonna fix the kharkov map, been a little busy, planning a road trip, doing work to my property here, and i been looking for some people, and when i find them im gona kill em
but i am gonna fix that kharkov map, dont worry

I was referring to the jetpack in Secret Weapons. I should have been more specific.

Ha, Mitch, you must have already forgotten. Earlier in the comments for this post you said "Love the new Kharkov map but there's just one problem the bridge closest to the blue base on kharkov just after that there is a gun in midair, lol so u might want to remove that".

Dark have a nice vacation say,will it ever be possible to have Junkers JU88A in battle of the bulge? Alamein would be cool too,is there a template for them?

New Kharkov and Battle of the Bulge
Authored by: [TPU]Darkryda on Thursday, February 17 2011 @ 10:01 PM PST

unfortunately, the ju88a is a britain only vehicle, in 1942. again another good idea that may be possible with the BG42
ju88a seems to be the only vehicle in 1942 is confined to just 1 map tho, thank god
but i may also be limited in my skills, maybe there is a way i dont know...??

Mitch, I know about the gun in midair. Ryda fixed it and I pushed it to TPU. I just thought it was funny that you reported the gun in midair in Kharkov, then asked what was wrong with Kharkov.

I thought dark was talking about something else when he said he was going to fix it
