paulw10 Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 Having flew over the area a few times, I really can't tell where Margate is. There is no pier, sun deck, clock tower or Sea Bathing hospital in evidence. These are Victorian features that are fairly easy to distiguish from the air.
DD_Fenrir Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 There are a great deal of very specific features that are currently and will be missing from this map even on completion; whilst there is some incredible detail in some areas there is simply not the resources to model every town to the level of specificity you are expecting, both in terms of development time or map play-ability - the latter relies on the majority of building/structure assets being generic or common in order to reduce load on RAM, CPU and GPU. It is a compromise between getting a few of the very distinguishable features in to help set the scene without murdering performance. The pier perhaps would be a good one to include but I'm not sure ANY piers are currently modeled anywhere on the UK side of the map - I haven't gone looking for them TBH. The clock tower, sun deck and the Sea Bathing hospital I would suspect are beyond the scope of the developers. The point being if you include these elements at Margate, where do you stop? There are countless towns with very unique landmarks not currently represented. To include them all would be a huge undertaking and ultimately could render the amp unplayable without vast amounts of RAM or Processing Power.

Living fairly close to Margate, I can only say its disappearance would be no great loss.
paulw10 Posted January 24, 2021 Author Posted January 24, 2021 I was born and grew up in Margate. It was a lovely place. The local council seemed to give up on it around the mid-90s. A real shame.

Always thought Broadstairs was the nicest of the towns, but lived in and preferred the surrounding villages in Thanet.
Coxy_99 Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Margate some great nights out there lol I think everyone is wanting little details but oddly enough none have mentioned Canterbury cathedral, Also Sandwich barbican over the river stour is missing, As for trains that i see people asking, East kent light railway was used to ferry ammo and troops to the ports across to France. It was then used for transporting i think coal after the war, Aswell as a passenger line through the villages, Or not to forget south east is racked full of pill boxes in case of invasion Edited March 6, 2021 by Coxy_99 1
