#1: Utah v2 is announced (once again) Author: Dima,

Playing TRSM for so long with Stalky (and other able CC players), we’ve got pretty bored of those tanks heavy battles on basically same maps again and again so we started to think about something new.
For some time Stalk continuously kept pushing on me (as I lost all the work I did for U2 couple of years ago) and finally he managed persuading me – Utah 2 (by me and Stalk) is planned to be released on June 6th.

Utah 2 will be a major remake of Utah 1.3.

It will sport:
-reworked GC.
-many new maps.
-all the old maps will be checked for coding mistakes, etc.
-all the data will be revised.
-virtually all the infantry teams for both sides will be revised to be more historical.
-infantry teams will be organized as close to their historical training manuals and tactical employment as possible in CC5.
-many new teams.
-most of the team names will be changed to be more historical.
-all the vehicles and guns will be revisited.
- new vehicles and guns added.
-all the FPs will be revised and reorganized.
-new BGs for both sides.
- medium mortars will be grouped in pairs.
-etc.

Thinking of 12cm/4.2inch mortars. Making them as powerful as they were ruins gameplay (IMO), especially against ATGs. So I can see 2 options for them:

1) remove them from mod.
2) making them not able to KO guns - which is unrealistic but will help to balance things a little bit.

Any questions, comments and ideas are welcomed.

Option two is better, but consider limiting them more than they are now. One or two per those battalions. Limiting ammo and making the mortar static are some more ideas...

Can only agree with mooxe about the mortars. Smile

Great news! Utah has always been one of my favorites.

I like Mooxe's suggestion - lesson their effects and ammo.

Wow! What a project, when do you sleep...at work like the rest of us?

How close to actual reality are the existing maps? Would it be possible to "massage" the new mod in that direction? (I must Google-Earth the region).

Let me know if there is some help needed in the art department or whatever.

some are v close some are not.

that was the initial idea, but we only had 2 new "historical" maps for now. So other will be custom made just for enchancing gameplay.

if you could make maps or vehicles - that would be really great!

historical FJ (weapons, team composition) would be good cause I like SAS but the FJ are ridiculous almost every guy has an auto weapon and they are close to invincible Smile

I like the data in TRSM - in Utah I didn't like the 88's data very much but the 88's in TRSM seem good.

they are pretty realistic in current Utah - thinking of minor polishing.

initially TRSM received Utah data - now it will be vice versa Smile

yeah, 88 in current Utah is too powerfull vs infantry IIRC.

Dima,

very cool - I like the comment that Utah v2 will get TRSM data.

My main problems with SAS were the FJ weapons, shrek long range accuracy and power, but I liked the maps. Sounds like Utah v2 will be just what I've been hoping for!

Sorry guys,

it will take more than expected.
First of all i got my first baby so dont have same amount of free time.
Second we decided to take some TLD maps for U2 and although we expected the mistakes, we thought we could fix them rather quick, but it appears that Stalky needs huge amount of time recoding these cool painted maps - looks like all should be recoded from stratch.

Anyway, new BGs and FPs are finished. Weapons and vehicles are finished. Teams and graphics is almost finished.

Will show some pics following days.

Sounds good Dima, hoping you finish this project up. Show some pictures! I'm interested in a re-worked strat map.

Cheers.

btw, 12cm/4.2inch are represented as FO in U2.
Each side has different features for FO Smile

Quick note, moving a 4.2 is a bugger. (think stationary target)

I love Utah mod, and for me as the new maps of Bloody Omaha Mod would be welcome. But please, decrease the power of flaks 36 and 37, and 150mm tank, and leave the most vulnerable ATguns to mortar fire and against infantry Smile
