[Map] Wanda Shan

[Outlawz7]

Throw away your dusty G3s, AK47s and megarailed AR15s and pull out your woodland camo jacket, a QBZ95 or AK74M, some motor oil and brush up on your Mandarin catch phrases for the ladies, because we're headed to a new theater of operations in Inner Manchuria!

For the first time the Bear will go against the Dragon in a bid to control precious natural resources required for world domination in the 21st century. After both sides had beaten off the greedy capitalists on their homefronts, it was time to decide which kid on the block will rule the Asian continent and we all know the ultimate way in which that can be settled.

Wanda Shan is the first map in what will hopefully be a series of maps based around Manchuria, Mongolia and Russian regions that border northeast China, in which PLA will defend their lands against the invading Russian forces and try their luck out over the border as well.

This is my first map that will be included in PR, but it's not the only one that I created. Don't worry, the others are coming along just fine


Back to the map.

• It's a 4km sized map with a view distance of 1km, set near the Russian border in northeast China, in a forested and scarcely populated area that lives off timber production.
  
• AASv3 brings in total 25 different objectives to fight over, with 5 in play each round.
  
• Both sides have their own uncaptureable base but don't let that give you a sense of hope, once the last defense falls, it's over. (the uncaps are there to avoid issues, because the 'main' flags are also random)
  
• There are three available Advance and Secure layers and a Skirmish mode, set around the biggest village on the map.

Finally, both sides brought some goodies in order to capture all those positions.

The Russian side brings you the good old T-90 main battle tank and BTR80 personnel carrier, but the majority of the weight will fall on the MT-LBs, both the PKT(7.62mm) and NSVT(12.7mm) variants as well as the Gopher anti-air and the Shturm anti-tank variant.
The Russian firepower doesn't end here as Mi-28s will rain down thunder in support of their comrades while on alternative layers, the Mi-8 will bring troops and supplies to the front.

The PLA side will dust off the almost forgotten arsenal of Type-98 main battle tanks and Z-10 attack helicopters along with VN3 recon vehicle and WZ551 and WZ551A personnel carriers. The Type-95 anti-air will keep the skies clear and like the Mi-8, the Z-8 will also be around on alternative layers.


And last but not least, I would to thank everyone on the PR team who gave me feedback and suggestions about the map.

Now for the minimap and some screenshots.




(I apologize for the messed up undergrowth on some screenshots, it's an issue with nVidia cards)

This map also caught me by surprise when it was first introduced.

Trust me when I say that this map is absolutely breathtaking! Dare I say, the most atmospheric and immersive map in the mod.
