Why not just have it self destruct after X number of missile launches?

Err, because it'll get taken and camped away in the same way, by same team or another?

A little update:

1. Removed some of most OP vehicles, maybe will kill more of them later;
2. Added Crusha's map icon to ML, looks awesome

It's mainly the inconvenience of having to wait for the vehicle to re-spawn, then drive it somewhere safe...etc, etc...but it was not a very serious suggestion.

Well done for putting in the effort to try something different to improve the map. I look forward to playing it at some point.

[*] Removed some of most OP vehicles, maybe will kill more of them later;

Mani, the main appeal of this map is the op vehicles. If this is no longer a "tank" map then we have to find another one and trust me, they get worse the further down the list we go.

We try and have a little bit for everyone on the roster and that includes op tank maps.

Ok, v0.3 is uploaded

1. Fixed some pathing issues: couple of bad waypoints on hills, pathes to link ammo, bad vehicles path near wrecked cars at base entrances;
2. Replaced Badgers with new ones;

2Cat: I know that this map's idea is "many OP tanks", and I really feel they can be balanced a bit. I want to see total number of vehicles as 70-80% of Nightwolf's version (mostly at cost of unused vehicles), but remaining one's models and positioning are to be changed (and not once).

Ahh ok, sorry Mani, I misunderstood your post

I'll take a look on Wednesday.

v0.35

1. added cull distance limit for roads = 16000 (<16000 makes them appear too late)

Distances are already set for most meshes (inluding windows), so I'll not change them.

Mani is that the latest version in the link on page one?

[Maniac]

Yes it is, I don't cahnge link to prevent confusion, but I store older versions id needed. Alas, I have no time for UT and UE today, so pls score a couple of shield kills for me

I've tested the bridges (bad camera view if under a bridge).
The bug only appears with EONS Crusader, all other vehicles (even Hammerhead) are OK.
Also tried it with Paladin and bridge on Nevermore-ECE with same bug.
The bug occurs because Paladin-like vehicles camera is too high, so it's placed ABOVE bridge and doesn't collide with it from below (i bet it'll collide all right if there is one more mesh higher above the bridge). Also, it works with high bridges OK, too.

The best idea I have is to make the bridges higher or trenches deeper, but it seems to be a poor choice to rebuild the whole map for sake of 1 vehicle.
