Capture Ze Forward Bunker!
Welcome back to another sneak peek. This week we will move deeper into the bunker system of Bergen by Detoeni and also have a look at the northern courtyard.
These are work in progress shots, which means the areas shown are still subject to change.
So today we want to move deeper into the bunker system. For that we will simply provide you with a few images showing some corridors, however due to the nature of a bunker corridor there really is not much need for commentary. One thing to keep in mind about the cortyard later-on, is that there is no blending between dirt and floor tiles in the doorways yet. It will come later and therefore you will see the rough transition in these images.
This week we want to try and include you, the community, a bit more into the development. After all, in the end it will be primarily you who is going to play this modification. To try this, we will be using a relatively simple issue, just to see how it goes.
The bunker system in Bergen has a very great layout,
which would allow a useful, but game-changing feature:
MG nests in the bunker center
In this image you can see the entrance to the MG nest. It is located directly opposite of the generator room.
This is the view from the allied main route coming from the forward bunker.
This is the view from the axis main route coming from the eastern courtyard.
This implementation will contain one operable machine gun nest facing the corridor to the forward bunker and one facing the axis spawn exit courtyard.
This way it can be used by both teams to fortify defenses on the generator by having increased fire support on the main route.
There will be a slight impact on the simplicity of the structural mesh, however effective VIS-blocking will still be assured.
In the above image you can see the command map with the impact these MG nests would have on the map flow. The blue lines are the travel routes for the allied team to the generator and the red lines the axis routes.
The MG nests will be placed on the main route facing both teams and therefore play a crucial role in the control over the bunker center and access to the generator room.
