The problem I have right now is that I can't use my computer right now to look at your map to see what's really needed. And I can't remember exactly how the map looks for the Pusan Perimeter.CzechTexan Wrote:Personally, I'd like to see the Pusan Perimeter upgraded for more realistic ground attack missions but I'm not expecting too much.
Do you have any suggestions as to how this could be accomplished in your opinon. The suggestions are welcomed and will help.
All I'm asking is to give a little more attention to the area with roads, villages/towns, and the Naktong River.
All these things really help with navigation and, like Mechanist said, it would help with navigating the in-flight map.
Populating the villages is not really necessary but it helps if there is a village texture to locate where the village is.
Mission builders can add objects and buildings to the village textures.
The following maps are from the book "The Korean War An Oral History, Pusan to Chosin" by Knox.
This map shows the Pusan Perimeter defense lines. The book gives good descriptions of the Marines' offensive thru Masan and toward Kosong and Sachon and their defense at Obong-Ni. Having all these towns and roads would be really nice on the KTO map. Also notice the airfield near Pohang.
This map shows a zoom-in of the Obong-Ni area. The hills changed hands several times while USAF planes attacked. Of course, there were battles all along the perimeter and not just here. Villages and roads through the valleys would be important for both sides and for USAF.
The breakout and counter-offensive. I assume all these routes followed roads so these villages and roads would be nice to have on the KTO map. Adding all that would be great for USAF ground attack missions, before and after the Pusan defense.
