Great fun with tanks in this map - is it my imagination or do the tanks take more damage/have weaker armour than in MH?

Not imagination. There no MH improvement, so Jeeps shoot weaker, and all vehicles almost no armor and receive 100% damage, except some cases.

Changes to the map are good - make it somewhat different to the original - ambient sounds are good as well, and add to the atmosphere of the 'place'.

The only thing is I think some glitches have been introduced - at least I don't remember them in the previous version (though I could be wrong of course) :

This is in the sky on the extreme right of the shot - it's peripheral and disappears when looked at directly (i think there are others elsewhere but they are difficult to capture, perhaps they are not that important)

Sliding textures - to the right of the Blue base when viewed from behind it - this glitch is more readily noticed and extends to the sand area moving as well sometimes

It is very minor issues. Map consis from one brush. So almost uneditable. I just do something or rebuild with different settings and prey for this build be less bugs from previous.
For example, when stood on red base roof it disappear.

There exists a lot invisible obstacles which stop tank. Sometimes even player collide with it. But in general map in playable state.

Skybox I will fix later. (If you see clouds disappear - this bug).

Not even XC stuff cannot manage these well. I see nodes in map entirely without purpose as they are hard to reach and without incoming connections.

Perhaps 436 stock players can see what kind of navigation is here...

And here it needs a note, this map is only for UT 469b and above, 436 doesn't include a lot of activity.

Such nostalgia, especially because of Website Down
Sometimes the vehicles begin kind of to shiver or flicker. Both from the outside and inside until it respawn.

By the by, there's something off about the doors of the 2 bases. Noticed as I was running for my life, but if you don't run straight out of them you tend to get hung up on the sides.

Yes, there few invisible collisions / bsp bugs on exit from some bases. Not sure if can be fixed - entire map is single semi-solid almost uneditable brush.

If you right-click a vertex in the brush (iirc it turns it into a pivot), you can hold down Alt to move it in a 2D viewport, without changing to Vertex Edit Mode :)

Note: I remember that making a vertex into a pivot can auto-snap it to a grid size. Make sure to disable snapping before right-clicking to select a vertex, then re-enabling it before moving said vertex. Although usually it's better to simply have them already aligned to the grid beforehand :)
