'''Advance to the Rhine''' is a ground forces map available in all modes. Being a "generalized recreation" of the city of Cologne, Germany, it was added in [[Update_1.53_"Fire_Storm"|Update 1.53 "Fire Storm"]]. The map is very close quarters, with fighting taking place on the city streets of Cologne. The majority of the map is made up of bombed out buildings, with a large tower statue in the west, and a more open park area in the east of the map.

 +
<!--Describe what focus a team should have when spawning into the map-->
 +
The map with its dense urban environment is unfriendly for tank destroyer players, giving them only two options:
 +
* Camping behind strategic corners for long duration of time
 +
* Attempting to advance along the wide and long streets on the far right side of the map and toward the central statue square
  
 +
Tank destroyers should otherwise always advance in company of medium or heavy tanks, as they can be easily flanked in this map.
 +
 +
The map is a great battlefield for fast, light tanks that can outflank the enemy. Heavy tanks should similarly as tank destroyers beware of being flanked, traveling in groups and using street corners to their advantage.
 +
 +
Airplanes, especially bombers, will have a difficult time in the map against ground targets. The best opportunity for bombers to score hits is when the enemy is capturing a point or when allies designate their location on the mini-map. Flying low to spot enemies is also an option but very dangerous.
 +
 +
The design of the map makes it harder for the team starting in the bottom (south) spawn points.

Overview

Advance to the Rhine is a ground forces map available in all modes. Being a "generalized recreation" of the city of Cologne, Germany, it was added in Update 1.53 "Fire Storm". The map is very close quarters, with fighting taking place on the city streets of Cologne. The majority of the map is made up of bombed out buildings, with a large tower statue in the west, and a more open park area in the east of the map.

The full tank map is 1.05 km x 1.05 km, making it the smallest tank map in the game. The air battle area is 65km x 65km.

Game Description

Teams fight for control over the bridges leading to the other side of the Rhine.

Historical Background

The devastated urban environment of "Advance to the Rhine" is based off the conditions of the city Cologne in Germany.

During World War II, Cologne was the Military Area Command Headquarters for the Military District of Münster. The city was subjected to multiple air raids by Western Allies bombers throughout the war. In March 1945, the city was the target of the U.S. First Army in their path towards the Rhine River. It was here that a famous tank encounter occurred that was captured by Signal Corps member Jim Bates. A Panther tank taking position near the Cologne Cathedral gave the Americans heavy resistance, knocking out a M4A1 (76) lead in a tank platoon. Noting the heavy fire from a high-velocity gun, the crew of a M26 Pershing, commandeered by Sergeant Early, maneuvered around the Panther and in a meet-up with both of their guns pointing at each other, the Pershing fired off the first shot, hitting the Panther straight in the hull side. The Pershing fired two more shots as the Panther crew bailed out of their burning tank, ending with a catastrophic explosion of the Panther's ammunition.

The German garrison in Cologne soon surrendered to the Allies around March 7th. This freed up many American soldiers to exploit a new breakthrough discovered at the German city of Remagen, the still-standing Lundendorff Bridge over the Rhine.

Notable Landmarks

  1. The large tower statue as seen in the map's thumbnail is the landmark in most game modes for a flag point.

Strategy

The map with its dense urban environment is unfriendly for tank destroyer players, giving them only two options:

  • Camping behind strategic corners for long duration of time
  • Attempting to advance along the wide and long streets on the far right side of the map and toward the central statue square

Tank destroyers should otherwise always advance in company of medium or heavy tanks, as they can be easily flanked in this map.

The map is a great battlefield for fast, light tanks that can outflank the enemy. Heavy tanks should similarly as tank destroyers beware of being flanked, traveling in groups and using street corners to their advantage.

Airplanes, especially bombers, will have a difficult time in the map against ground targets. The best opportunity for bombers to score hits is when the enemy is capturing a point or when allies designate their location on the mini-map. Flying low to spot enemies is also an option but very dangerous.

The design of the map makes it harder for the team starting in the bottom (south) spawn points.
