[Map] Hue City (2km) [Concept/WIP]
I'm looking into creating a Hue City urban map for PR:V
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hu%E1%BA%BF The black line is a rough outline for the map. I will probably truncate the city in the bottom left hand corner of the bock to save map performance. The area on the North side of the river will start as NVA territory, and the South side will be US territory. The grid in the first row 2nd in from the left will be the NVAs main, the citadel. The grid in the second row from the top 1st from the right will be the US main at MACV. This is a reference image for the South side. I will keep anything in the photo but the area outside will be forest. I'm having trouble tracking down good quality aerial photos or maps of the time so if anybody finds some good ones that would be nice. In terms of combat the US will get M113s, maybe a tank but don't think US has a standard non-flamethrower tank, and standard light vehicles, jeeps, logis, ect. The NVA will get logis, and hopeful preplaced SPG emplacements, don't think SPG-9s were common in Vietnam but recoiless rifles sure were. |

Re: [Map] Hue City (2km) [Concept/WIP]
Certainly one of the most iconic battles of the Vietnam war and I would love to see this map
Although for starters, wouldn't call it "Hue City", would call it "The Battle for Hue" or just "Hue" Next a much more detailed map plan would be advisable. Grab a Google Earth image or a complete map of the area and detail flags and mains etc, + attack routes etc. The hardest thing for this map will be finding statics that fit tbh, since this is a historic city and has many unique buildings, along with many of the buildings available in PR look a bit too modern with AC units and solar panels etc all over them but hopefully you can make it work BTW, pretty good (short) documentary on the battle here from 30mins: https://youtu.be/5SjD279yvLU?t=1800 Would possibly be worth portraying different parts of the battle though different layers, as wall as having the Large layer, possibly a couple more, trying to portray the entire thing |

Re: [Map] Hue City (2km) [Concept/WIP]
Ye, was meaning google earth as a rough template but ideally you want to find a decent map
And as AD said, assets are not really the proble and ye, NVA has a PT-76 ingame, dunno if they used it during this battle thou? |

PT-76 would fit here better than it fits in Hill 488 alt now in my opinion. Good and interesting asset and it is barely used.
