Once again thanks to Ryda and Mojo, we have new versions of these two maps.
Stalingrad is now tankless, like Berlin, so it's an infantry battle.
Here's the complete rundown:
Stalingrad:
- added more MGs some in 2nd and 3rd levels of buildings
- added a few AA guns
- removed all tanks
- added cars and APCs
- added artillery to both sides
- artillery = katyusha/wespe
- all 5 cars/jeeps are in this map
- all 3 APCs are in this map
Salerno:
- replaced one fighter plane on both sides with a medium bomber
- added katyushas
- added kettenkrads
- replaced cars/jeeps with sherman/panzeriv
TPU was down for a few minutes this morning while I upgraded the router firmware.
Everything appears to be working fine (as opposed to the last time I tried this).
Please let me know if you notice anything not working.
Today it's a new version of Iwo Jima, thanks to DarkRyda.
Here's what's new:
- added machine guns to ALL key locations
- added AA guns all over the map, some on top of buildings
- added more cars/jeeps
- added 9 defense guns
- changed Corsair to Mustang on the island
- added a new fighter plane to the island, 1 on the runway and 1 on top of the hill at the airfield
- the new fighter plane is a BF109/Spitfire
- added a tank and a car to the center of the map
- added artillery to both sides of the map
- the new artillery is Katyusha/Wespe
- added PT boats
- added ships to both sides
- axis fleet is now 1 battleship and 4 destroyers
- allied fleet is now 1 carrier, 1 battleship and 3 destroyers
It's wild and it's dangerous and it has a whole new feel. Nice!
There's a new version of Tobruk on TPU. This one is also the work of DarkRyda and TenaciousMojo. It includes the following:
- added planes to Axis side (BF109/Stuka)
- added planes to Allied side (Mustang/B17)
- (note: bots do not fly the planes)
- added AA guns to all sand bag rings and some on top of buildings
- added machineguns in key locations all over the map
- added heavy tank and car to center flag
- added artillery to small abandoned bunker at south of map
- added artillery and a car at the abandoned outpost on the north side of map
- added 3 cars to both main bases
Again thanks to the creative efforts of DarkRyda and TenaciousMojo, new versions of Battle of Britain and Market Garden are now running on TPU.
The new Market Garden includes planes for the Axis, a bomber for the Allies, more AA emplacements, more variety in tanks and planes and a few cars.
The new Battle of Britain has some major tweaks to the ticket countdown for the Allies: destroying the factory doesn't count down as fast and the radar stations respawn (at different rates). Also there's more variety in planes and a few tanks.
Thanks to DarkRyda and TenaciousMojo, TPU has a new version of Husky. It has some new tank spawns and other tank-related changes, an Allied aircraft carrier, and a few more surprises.
Wake has a few more machine gun emplacements, and if the Allies lose all the island spawnpoints, they can still attack from their ships.
Enjoy!
Don't forget to check the polls (right side of the site, scroll down a bit).
Your feedback helps!
By popular demand, the ticket ratio has been bumped up from 225 to 300. As always, feedback welcome. If there are particular maps where this new ratio is just too high, we may consider tweaking those maps rather than going back to a smaller overall ticket ratio.
Thanks to DarkRyda and TenaciousMojo, TPU has new versions of Midway, Wake and Berlin. More MGs, AA batteries, a few new planes, some flag adjustments, PT boats and many more fun changes await. (Warning: "thanks, but no tanks" for Berlin!) As always with TPU, no map downloads required.
Try the new maps and let us know what you think in comments or the related poll.
Next up: a new version of Husky from DarkRyda and TenaciousMojo.
The TPU server will be down for a few minutes while I make a few more changes to the network hardware. It should be back up by 10:30am today.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
UPDATE: TPU is back on-line. Let me know if you notice anything different (ie worse).
