Mission: Sieg oder Tod/Defend the Fatherland (part II)

[Tanker]

Can tank shells penetrate and damage the buildings?

[lockie]

Yes. U may shoot through the windows, it has only 2mm of armor. Also infantry shoot in defenders through the windows. Three ammo_boxes located Inside house, if u shoot any then house will be destroyed.

Can you only shoot through the windows?  I would think a tanks gun would penetrate a buildings wall, no?

Thanks for these missions, they look great!

Undeniable great work I would call it a breakthrough! finally urban warfare is coming to Steel Fury....

I don't want to open all secrets Let's will73 will give answer  8)

Thanks for the photo, though this `dug in` u may easily make in the game editor. Just create an appropriate trench and place inside IS-3. There is no need to make additional model like pantherturm.

THANKS to all for the good words!
There are two buildings left to be implemented in the game and also a new pillbox still waiting for his turn to be adjusted.

You can shoot through walls armor-piercing projectiles, find an equivalent 50mm steel wall

Found interesting picture

And this is a very good picture `battle in town`! Company of heroes 2.


Briefing plus history backimage.


Secret weapon of german soldiers - 8,8 cm Rpz B Gr. One shot - three kills 


The building has a highly armored glass! 

[lockie]

So, now 4 fortified-buildings from 8 are available. There are 4 left.



All buildings are very good equipped (rpg, mg, rifle, mp38) and has 8-9 soldiers.
I tried to play 3 buildings vs 4 T-34/42+infantry platoon. The distance was abt 200 meters. No additional AT guns/pantherturm/fences/infantry.
After ~2 minutes all my infantry were killed, next 5 min. 3 tanks destroyed and two buildings terminated. One building still remain alive and MGunner continued shooting.
 Well, I may say that it's a very hard task to fight in the town. But it's a very unusual and of course it'll require a new skill how to fight in the town conditions  8)
The defenders has a very strong decision to fight to the last cartridge

[frinik]

May be make a mission with a barrage of artillery and or Katyushas rockets. That'd be cool to see what the Katyushas/Nebelwerfers can do in game?

[lockie]

make a mission with a barrage of artillery and or Katyushas rockets.

It's already implemented There will be a massive artillery strike (120mm howitzer) and BM-13. Then soviet tanks with desant will rush in attack. Depends on the difficulty there will be a couple IL-2. German side besides fortified-buiildings (I'm planning 48pcs) also has a couple Nebelwerfers, 5-6 standard and new pillboxes. Plus AT guns, pantherthurms, fencings, barrages, AT trenches.  I think attacking part of the mission will be more interesting then defending.
The main target of attacker is railroad station. There are three ways how to get it:
- go to the left of the town
- go to the right of the town
- go through the town
Because of the terrible losses in infantry, I'm planning to include additional moto-infantry for the soviet side, which will arrive to the battle depending on the conditions, thus to avoid an overloading of the PC with a big quantity of the infantry at the same time.

How about sending further Soviet infantry reinforcement using the delay( timer) feature in the ME.You station them at the edge of the map where they won't add too much load to the mission. Since most of the regular forces will have already been destroyed by the time the reinforcements arrive this should not impact the fps too much....

Timer is not good idea. Trigger is much better. There will be a several conditions when trigger switch on and moto-infatry will come to the appropriate point.
First conditions when sov. tanks will arrive to the town. We can make radio message:
- We need infantry support urgently!
- OK. Moto-infantry sent.

Second conditions, i.e. when tanks arrive to the middle of the town or tanks/infantry has losses 3 times.
And moto-infantry will be located out of the working area of the polygon.
Unfortunately, there is no possibility to make transportation of the guns and give a flame thrower(vognemet) to the infantry

PS
Five buildings are ready! (Building #02 has two sections)

Beautiful houses, but it would be nice to rotate them a bunch of broken bricks (ruined house) through which you can move the tank. After Europe while hard and bombed day and night. Thank you.
