Heh, so that corner of Smolensk had (has?) both old Medieval walls and a full-on star fortress with the prequisite massive earthworks? Must’ve been a joy for the urban planners.

Vast majority of period tank action was in Europe? How terrible.

And all kinds of ironmongery drove off the bow ramps of diverse bigger ships in the follow-up waves, but the point is rather there was acute shortage of anything with tracks on the *other* side. IIRC any “hot tank on tank action” happened well inland when the few Allied cans that managed to clear the God Tier traffic jams of the beaches started running into the dribble of German reinforcements.
I also seem to recall that the acute lack of armoured support to help deal with diverse bunkers and strongpoints nevermind now random German armour (on account of aforementioned logjams) was an important part of why the infantry’s thrusts from the beachheads achieved only relatively limited success.

D Day map not historical? Sherman DDs landed at most of the beaches with varying success.

A D Day map isn’t historical, since at the landing, tanks weren’t involved. However, an Arnhem map would be a lot of fun, but the thing is, thats not historical either. Paratroopers took care of most of Arnhem and its bridges…. I would, however, think that a map somewhere around Arnhem, just without the specific Arnhem battlefield, would be awesome. Tanks DID, after all, participate on both the Allied and Axis sides.

Karl event was awesome because it was meant to be and all build around that idea of ridiculousness. Those two mirrors are just lame display of lack of inspiration and I feel very sorry for WG if this is their future vision for balancing maps.

You can create a balanced playground without using a mirror, it just needs a will. But I guess all work will in WG is now focused on “balancing” WTE/etc and making Havok.
