Stalingrad South - Petroleum Plant v2.0

Description
Created with the use of German Aerial Reconnaissance photos and further backed by historical footage, documentation, and first-hand accounts. From the topography to its flora, meticulous attention to detail is being put into creating a historically accurate, 1:1 scale reproduction of this 1.1km² area located in the south of Stalingrad. As we are attempting to make this map mimic, as accurately as we can, the state of the battlefield as it was in September 1942, this map will be updated as new information becomes available to us.

2.0 Update:
With 2.0 released we have overhauled the topography, corrected errors with the main plant and swapped out the textures with AI up-scaled and colourised aerial photos. Whilst we will continue to make minor adjustments as further research is conducted, we are considering this map finished for the purposes of the overall project and this is the quality you can expect from future maps going forward.

Notes and Important Information:
This map is completely playable in domination but you will notice that the capture points in the Battle Zones game mode are not set up correctly. This has been done intentionally to accommodate Test Mode battles which we use in our own campaigns where we fight with the actual historical forces deployed in this area.

This map is designed for up to 8 players, exceeding this number will likely cause a crash.

Although this map is completely functional in vanilla, we have found that it's topography plays really well with extended range and/or realism mods and so we recommend those in order to enhance your experience.

Whenever a new update comes out, we recommend resubscribing to the map to make sure it works.

we have noticed that AI opponents seem to have some path finding issues with the pipes.

Special thanks to RangerB for helping out with research

Hi, found this from searching for Stalingrad mods. I’m an enthusiast and very glad to see that you have a discord for that purpose — could I get an invite to it?
I have many books on the subject which may be a useful resource.
Also, I am coder, not a map maker, and am wanting to work on a project that focuses on the battle. I’m targeting GoH for that. Can we discuss further?

Version 2.0 has now been released! Make sure to re-subscribe and leave comments :) I have already started on the next map which will be directly north of this one.

I wasn't able to work on maps last year and was focused on other areas of my life. However, I am resuming development of the Stalingrad maps and will hopefully have some new stuff posted. I am excited that the mod from That207Guy was updated recently, it does work great with the map.
