Magic Zach Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) On Normandy, the port en-Bessin is misnamed as "Les Moulins". Port-en-Bessin was a rather critical port to the allies, as it was the main fuel port for the allies (until Antwerp was taken), as a part of a ship-to-shore transfer system, known as TOMBOLA. Quote Following the liberation of the Port-en-Bessin to the West of Arromanches by a combined force of 47 Commando Royal Marines and 4 SAS Brigade the quayside would be used to offload small coastal tankers. By D+9 fuel would be pumped to storage tanks and jerrycan filling equipment at Mt Cauvin, near Etreham, 3km inland from the port. Quote The pipelines from Port-en-Bessin would be joined by two 6″ TOMBOLA pipelines bought ashore at Saint Honorine-des-Pertes, 5km from Port-en-Bassin. Of major note, is that not only is Port-en-Bessin mislabeled on our map, but also mis-modeled as well. Quote ...the TOMBOLA system and Port en Bessin continued to be used to great effect, greatly exceeding expectations.

Callsign112 Posted August 24, 2021 Posted August 24, 2021 There is a lot of this on the Normandy map. I am fine with general map textures, and don't mind repetitive blocks of greenery, but roads/villages/rivers/major structures like the fuel hub discussed here should at least resemble the actual map. I hope Ugra can revisit at least major inaccuracies while they fix/update other areas of the map.
