Stunned by the Luftwaffe's humiliating failures to keep the Reich's skies free of Allied bombers, Axis scientists are developing new "radar" devices which could spell death for the Allied forces. The Wurzburg radar electronically detects and pinpoints Allied aircraft even on the darkest of nights! Can the Allies capture the innards of these silent sky sentries, and deliver them to their waiting egghead scientists? Can the Axis repel the Allied technology thieves? Only time...will tell!

Map Description
Würzburg Radar is a dark and stormy map set in Europe. The Allies start in a small house with windows that can be punched out by gunfire or a knife. The house is enclosed by a wall, with two entrances - a direct way that leads near the Axis Forward Bunker, and a long tunnel which leads near the edge of the map. Taking the direct path, through the wooden gates, puts players in a grassy field with lots of undergrowth to hide behind. From here, Allied players can either continue on to assault the Forward Bunker from one of its two entrances, or continue past the entrance on the left to the Side Entrance, which can be dynamited open.
The Forward Bunker is a large, almost empty room with a capturable spawn in the middle. Expect a lot of close-quarters weapons - flamethrowers, grenades, maybe even knives - to be used in this area. The forward bunker is defended by a machine gun nest that guards the left exit. The streetside entrance of the Forward Bunker is unguarded.
The Forward Bunker, and the only road on the map, leads to the Main Entrance, beyond which is the Axis spawn and the radar components. The Axis can spawn in one of two areas - either in the central spawn, which is located inside a building near some crates, or in a smaller barracks to the side. The barracks is often a good place for Axis to spawn as it covers the Allied main route of attack from the main entrance.
The side entrance drops players in on the far side of the Axis encampment, away from the main spawns. It is guarded by a machine gun nest facing the entrance (often Axis-manned) and a Command Post. Near the Command Post is a ladder up to a second floor, where a team door is located. This is a one-way trip for Axis players to go through the Side Entrance area, but it prevents Allied players from reaching it until they've dynamited the Side Entrance.
The two Allied objectives are the twin radars which give the map its name. Attached to the radars are small boxes that can be picked up by Allied players. They must then be sent to the Allied Escape Truck, which can be seen just outside the main entrance. If the Axis are unable to prevent the Allies from loading the parts onto the truck, they will lose; the Allies need not escape with the parts, like in Gold Rush.
Constructables
Bunker Machine Gun: This machine gun is useful for the Axis in guarding the Forward Bunker, but skilled players can swarm the machine gun or catch its operator by surprise easily. This machine gun can be satcheled or dynamited by an Allied Covert Ops or an Engineer once the Forward Bunker is taken for some Engineering/Covert Ops experience. An engineer can then rebuild the machine gun for even more engineering experience.
Watchtower Machine Gun: Potentially deadly, but its very limited fire arc precludes its use for the most part. Its operator is also vulnerable to attacks from the Side Entrance, so this machine gun is often built, but not manned.
Command Post: Often built, but since it is often away from the fighting, it is often left alone. It is a good idea for the Axis to build this command post with a single engineer from the main spawn so that the Axis can take advantage of it before the Side Entrance is destroyed. Once the Side Entrance becomes available for the Allies, it can prove difficult to keep a hold of this Command Post.
Points of Interest
Axis Strategy
Good classes in this map: Engineer, Covert Ops, Soldier
This map is quite hard for the Axis, if they secure the forward bunker, Axis spawn quite far away from the parts. First, get engineers to put mines around the key points - The side entrance exit, behind the main entrance wall and around the radar parts. Covert Ops can easily pick off targets with a K43 from a building or a distance. Soldiers can use Mobile MG42s to camp around the parts or near the entrances, just stall enough in this map. Make sure your engineers set up the Crew Served MG42s on the towers for others to use.
Allied Strategy
Good classes in this map: Engineer, Medic, Covert Ops
Split the team up firstly, one should take the forward bunker with a engineer to take out the main entrance, the other should go and blow up the side entrance and construct the command post. Squad 1 should fight their way to the west radar parts and take those through the main entrance. Squad 2 should go for the east, then go back through the side entrance. Medics are good for support, their high hp, hp regen and Self Adrenaline (Helps for running back without stopping). If you're a covert ops, you can disguise yourself and go through the Axis door and steal the radar parts.
