wow the bridge looks just like it did the picture eugen did a very good job beautifully crafting it well its amazing =)

Though it's worth noting that (to make the map playable) the bridge and river are in one sides deployment zones. So they won't be a significant feature of that map.

im just happy that eugen paid attention to historical details right on the dot

There's a Pegasus bridge nap confirmed in game. Not sure about carentan

[The Big Red 1]

carentan was just as important as pegasus bridge in terms of strategic value. Note: carentan had to be taken to prevent a wedge from being created from the germans as a major roads ran thru the area i believe?

Any news about carentan?? Will it be in the game?

It probably will at the very least be a campaign map

The map is totally sci-fi.

The first building to the left is Le Café Gondrée, the first public building liberated in France. It's nowhere in the game map.

This other pic shows the place of the gliders landing, again wrong in the game map.

The bridge itself is longer in real life.

The research of this map is terrible, and this is one of the most easy battles in WW2, tons of graphic documents.

If your complaining about building models then you can kindley remap the whole game in a mod, because even arma dosent do that much accuracy.

Is your only reasonable reply to a fact?

The map is poorly researched, some guys were praising the accuracy of the map, it is not right, end of the discussion.

[flashfireball]

Why is it that in a game advertised to be historically accurate, where there are many flaws like cafe not being there and the tiger ii p turret missing its defining "tube," do people get sacked for saying its wrong, and wrong to the degree that anyone with basic knowledge on the subject would spot it? I got sacked on my thread as well. don't just say "do it yourself if you don't like it" or "and you could do better?" because at the level of some of the mistakes, see cafe, i could. There are two things at the bridge you look for the bridge and the cafe. Its like for those less historically inclined Jupiter not having its red spot.

We bought a game as it was advertised WWII the reason some of us bought it was because it was based in a historic time we liked. Historians are the target audience.

don't shout down people for not just giving a free pass because it was made. Programming a game for them is not an accomplishment its their job, and i expect it to be done well. If you hand in a research paper and its wrong, it shouldn't be given a pass for being the required length.

if you make a game in a historic setting, especially if you claim authenticity is your goal, getting the facts strait and the models right should actually be a goal not a coincidence. if you don't call it out people, will say its historical just to turn a quick buck without putting in the work.

ps: if you've read this far thanks, and call of duty WWII might be more historically accurate than this game. Let that and what that means sink in.

I mean, there's a limited number of building models in the game so the cafe isn't there.

I don't know why you expect a platoon level wargame to have pin point modelling of individual buildings.
