[SIZE="7"][B][U]Operation Marlin v1.0[/U][/B][/SIZE][/CENTER]


Hi Soldiers !

I'd like to introduce you the changes you will find on Operation Marlin in the version 1.0 of Project Reality.
Any comments you have written since the release of this map convinced me to make structural changes.
The main idea of ​​these changes is to expand the battlefield all around the map and allow the infantry to move with more discretion and protection.
So, I've created a new combat zone in the middle-south of the map, named Dam. Between flags and empty areas, I added forests to protect and hide soldiers. Also you will find many modifications inside the main city for hiding or making ambushes. Saint Tropez Resort and UN outpost have being re done with basements under buildings, as French Embassy, for having more fun fights. :-D

Now, enough words and let me show what it looks like ... :roll:

The good news is ... after having waited two years ... that you'll fight with [B]French Forces[/B], or against ... :mrgreen:
Thanks to the French Forces team ([R-DEV]Hauteclocque, [R-CON]Sgt_Doctor, [R-CON]Bao, aXoCHaPo, ...), without them, nothing would have been possible. Thanks to PR Team for having corrected, optimized, debugged and integrated the French Army in Project Reality.

On to Operation Marlin, the French Army fight under the flag of the United Nations. So French soldiers wear the blue helmet and french vehicles have UN camo !

A special thanks to the Canadian Forces, to have fought with honor and courage during these two years in Operation Marlin ;-)
It's time, now, for France to enter the battle ...

Hope you like these changes and enjoy them ! 8-)

    or maybe like suggested before you could copy the map, do a tweaks here and there and change the name? i don't know alot about coding but i think that could solve the problem and it's possible.anyway thank for your hard work!

    Only one thing I don't get about IDF not being on this map. A while back, two years ago, there was a French Forces Teaser that showed Op. Marlin and at the end of the video it showed the IDF on Op. Marlin. What happened to that version?

    Like the white UN vehicles. The only problem was always end of tour when you had to paint the vehicles white again ready for hand over to next roulemont taking over from you.

    I must bring to the attention of the DEVs that the T-72 can not climb anymore. Not even the slightest of slopes. As i understand tanks are not meant to climb super steep slopes i do understand that the T-72 shouldn't be worse than the challengers were on Fools Road.

    I must say that i have been stuck so many times with the T-72 on this map because of the fact that in my opinion it has been screwed up. As of now it can take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes to climb a hill. You really messed up Heavy armor movement for the MEC on this map. I love the map, but the way the T-72 is now it makes it not even worth using on this map.

    With that in mind, the only real good way to use the T-72 is to use it on roads, and in the city. As someone who uses armor and tanks quite often i find that a bit silly because the city is a death trap for almost all armor. And that is even with infantry support. And yes i did notice the new hills. Very very difficult to climb in general.

    So a question to the Devs, Either can you smooth out the Terrain, or fix the T-72. i honestly vote for the fixing of the T-72. Pretty much worthless in this map with the way it is now.
