Hill 252.2?

[=IRFC=NakedSquirrel]

I was going to make a mission around hill 252.2 Southwest of Prokhorovka, but when I go into 3d View I can't find any hill at the location.  Am I loading the wrong height map or was hill 252.2 not actually a hill?

EDIT: just looked and its actually on the map anyway:

Yea, that's the spot, but it's basically flat.  These T34 (~3m tall) are placed around 230m, 240m, and 250.2m elevation on the map, but in game there doesn't seem to be much of a hill there, at least not a 12m tall one.  I wasn't sure if it had something to do with how I loaded the height-map.

 

 

 

I'll probably pick a different part of the battle to make.  I just didn't want to confuse players with the task of attacking a hill when there's no hill to attack...

Not really big hill in real life either

Yep, was just about to post this as well ? I dont know if there has been work done on the area in the 70+ years since the battle, but the real life location looks pretty flat now. If you fly around in the free cam mode in the editor there is a slight rise over this whole area, but its over a fairly large area. Not sure I would call it a hill per se, but maybe something got lost in translation between Russian and English.

Look at nearby points on map. Whole area's average height is ~220-230 m.

+/- 20 m for several kilometers are just unnoticeable.

In russian books this point doesn't name "hill" ("холм"). It's named "высота" = "height" or just "point".

As I know in German languge (Deutsch) for such objects they use word "Höhe" (= "height"). But not "Hügel" (= "hill").

Cool. Looks about right then.  They must have labeled it by the elevation because there were no other landmarks.  Thanks.
