NO TANKS??

Change the name! It ain't Ponyri!!

The RO-Ponyri has no tanks!! Incredible! :confused:

Now, I KNOW it ain't Ponyri. Not by any stretch of the imagination. NO Tanks at all. Come on Sich, what are you thinking? The map can handle tanks and added infantry. Expand the map somewhat. Otherwise it looks good and plays well. But... no tanks at Ponyri?? Bad News.
"German casualties at and around Ponyri Station were estimated at 10,700 killed or wounded, and 220 tanks and self-propelled guns and 71 guns/mortars destroyed".

I thought beta 2 was pretty light on armor. But to get rid of tanks is a step in the wrong direction both historical and gameplay.

I got told "that's the way it is" and "if you don't like it, make your own map"!

Hmmm so much for the "Historically Accurate" noise... it ok for them to rape history, but heaven help the new mapper on the scene that makes an error or two history-wise. I hate double standard BS. :frown:


To the point, this map is not Ponyri. It a fantasy creation being called Ponyri.
