Important Locations

[mono6020]

Hi There,

any plans of including the important city of bandar bushehr and the nuclear power plant?

i understand that natanz and isfahan is too far north, as is teheran etc.

but the region of bushehr is already present and would only need a few city buildings, the power plant and the airport. maybe also the naval base.

greetings

As far as I understand from Wags (Back to the Mothership letter as well as Alert 5 podcast) the PG terrain is close to release with two things that will happen:

 

- cleaning up the map (I guess bugs/issues);

- addition of two new airfields and two archaeological sites.

 

"(...) we are close to considering the map the complete once Liwa and Ras al Khaimah airfields and the Bam and Persepolis archeological sites are in."

 

While I think we will not get anything else as they will be busy with 3 other maps, I still would very much like such additions! But again, although this area is present currently it falls outside of the highly detailed area of PG terrain module I believe.

it's hard to tell. there is already some ground clutter around the region where bushehr would be, some small villages (choghadak etc.). also the northwest gulf region would likely be a main attack vector for carrier based strikes on shiraz. while the coast region is more or less desert, it does indeed look detailed to me (power lines, some streets, villages, rivers ...)

if you switch to map view in ME you can just barely see the 2 runways of bushehr if you zoom in. that's where the detailed map is cut.

I would not call it detailed if the bay itself isn't even there. Just compare with satellite imagery and you will see that terrain alone would need modelling first.

 

I am sure there was an image showing the PG terrain size and an indication of the area of detail. Centred around UAE, parts of Oman and south Iran close to the Strait of Hormuz, which was original map name.

 

As said addition of the Bandar Bushehr would need terrain modelling first - Wags already said map size is final.

yes i know the parts of terrain are missing. that's the reason i was wondering why one would stop just a few kilometers short of such an important strategic asset. anyways, the PG map is cool as it is. bushehr would just be the cream on the cake
