INTRODUCTION
This is a suggestion for a naval map, wich would take place in the fjords of Norway outside Bergen city. This would proably be condisered a Semi-Historical map? There have been battles between Norwegian and German warships here, but nothing full-scale and it lasted for a few months afterward, with the first weeks being the most intense.
This could be a nice map for naval battles to take place, featuring both a beautifyl landscape and some terrain that would affect gameplay in a good way.
The Fjords here are not very small, so for larger battleships, cruisers etc should have no problem being used there
OPERATION WESERUBÜNG
Spoiler
center]During the first period of the Second World War, both the warring parties, Germany and the Allies, saw the value of Norway’s geographical position. The country was most important for Germany because of the transport of iron ore from Swedish mines via the ore port in Narvik and along the Norwegian coast to Germany, the German armaments industry was completely dependent on this ore. They were therefore afraid that the Allies would block the supply of this ore, and as a result an occupation of Denmark and Norway became a theme, and Operation Weserübung was planned.[/center]
THE INVASION
Spoiler
The red cirkle in the picture above is the location of Karven Fort. The Yellow line is the route leading to Bergen Harbour, and the route the German vessels travelled
THE MAP
AIRPLANE SPAWN
Spoiler
One very important ting to remember, is that shortly after the message from D/S Manger about the foreign battleships entering the Korsfjord on their way to bergen, the Norwegian Heinkel He 115N wich was in service of the Norwegian Navy’s Airforce at the time, and were stationed at Flatøy, was sent up in the air to attack these vessels. The bombs it dropped at them missed and did unfortunately not deal any damage to the german vessels. This werent exactly an airport, as there were no runway, all the planes stationed at Flatøy were hydroplanes, with planes such as the Heinkel He 115n and the Marinens Flyfabrikk M.F.11 were stationed there. The M.F.11 attempted some attack later on as well. Anyway the big Planes were stored on the dock at Flatøy, and the smaller planes such as the M.F.11 were stored on-land in hangars. When those were to take off they would taxy out into the fjord before taking off. This could be a eventual spawn in-game, i have drawn a yellow cirkle at the area the hangar is located.
Also, later on after the invasion, the German built an airport at Herdla, wich i have also drawed a yellow cirkle around on the picture (upper left). this was not built until later the same year, but could potentially be a location for an air spawn, the other side, the invading forces would have a air-spawn
MAP ZONES AND SPAWNS
-The red dots north on the map could be potential spawn’s for airplanes, sort of the “defending” forces.
-The red dots in the southwest could be potential air spawn for the other team, sort of the “invading” forces
-If there would be multiple layouts, the Black circle with is drawn around the Harbour of Bergen, could be the main zone, and the other yellow ones in addition to the black circle could be for the layouts with 3 zones.
-The areas for the vessels to spawn i am a little unsure of, proably one at “Frekhaug” between the airplane hangar at Flatøy and the North yellow circle . for the other side, south, the spawn could be between “Tyssøyna” and “Liaskjæret”
- Yes
- No
