Preview Shots of "The Tractor Factory"
 

Some preview shots that I hope will entice someone to assist me in getting some operational tanks going! What would the Tractor Factory battle be without a few Tigers and T-34s running around the rubble?!

No timeline...just as soon as I can. I'm working two maps at the moment. I'd say a good 70% of the 'building' is done. Objectives and usable tanks are the upcoming challenge! I hope it has something for everyone. Usable mortars, MG-42s, one 20mm AA gun, maybe one or two 88's. AND I really, really hope a handful of tanks. My 'plan' is a TOW map with both sides working to eliminate spawn points.

Lighting and VIS on FAST....

very nice

from Enemy at the Gates right?

ohh!
 

a perfect area 4 snipers, and sniper smgs, (ppl who use an smg as a long range weapon) while still making it fun 4 ppl who prefer short range weapons, looks awesome!

Thanks guys, for the comments! I am ALSO looking for anyone that may have 'industrial' type models they have built. I'd love to add a few more machines and such. I'm running out of ideas!!! AND....don't forget, I NEED some DRIVABLE TANK TUTs as well. Finally got an 88 to work!

i LOVE that pic with the 88 it really looks cool.

Great job!

Yo this looks like a sick level. Did you get it from Enemy at the Gates? I like it because it's PERFECT for sniping...I need to know when this is out.

Oh man, this map is just screaming for snipers to do it justice. biggrin:

looks good. Lemme know when finished project becomes available!

I want it!!! biggrin:

Thanks for the notes! I'm stilling plugging away on detail stuff for the "Machine Shop" and "Generator" buildings. I've completed the "Assembly Hall" and added a few more pics.

Actually, inspiration came from three sources.... "Close Combat 3, Russian Front" that inspired the map layout...which I've tweaked to suit myself and more play styles and Radiant, of course... Second source...my wife...Russian by birth saying..."...all that designing you do, why not something Russian?!" And lastly, my own interest in the subject slightly urged on by EaG. Long way to go, but not as far as yesterday! freak:

more to come.... STILL looking for help on USABLE TANKS! Also thinking about random spawn for 88s/20mm guns for the Allies/Russians. IF I get German Tigers working, that would really play into strategy. AND, by the way, I REALLY hope that this map forces combined arms team play and strategy. There's more than one way to progess across the map but odds are that neither tank nor infantry can survive all the way across with out help from the other....clearing corners etc.[/img]
