Mamayev - Axis Engineer - Lose points for blowing up objectives

[Buzzles]

As per the title, on Mamayev Kurgan as Axis Engineer I've been finding over the weekend that when I satchel an objective, I get a -5 team points penalty rather than the expected +5 points.

And before anyone asks, no I've definitely not accidently TK'd someone as I retested it on an empty server.

I've not done a repair yet, but this is surely a server side problem as it's to do with scoring right?

Just tried it out and on my end it works as intended.

If you blow up the objective as defender you get -5 points
If you blow up the objective as attacker you get +5 points

This holds true with swapped sides in campaign as well, its considered that blowing up the defensive structures is negative for the defenders hence the negative points.

^ not true. It is and has always been since as long as I can remember that if you blow up an objective as an attacker you get -5 points. I checked it the other day after seeing this. It never made sense to me either, so perhaps your in-house version of Mamayev is different to ours.

I'm trying on my server, take engineer as axis, spawn.

first destructible in A is marked as 'protect' when you are axis, so it gets you -5 points when you destroy it. OK let say it is near axis side.. but when you are inside this destructible bunker, you clearly aim on the axis spawn, so for me it is a mistake, this bunker should belong to allies not axis.

The two others in B, are marked as 'protect' too... so it is the same they belong to you side so if you destroy them, you get -5 points. They are behind the capzone for attackers (axis) so it is clearly not bunkers of axis side but allies side.

and so on.. they are all marked as 'protect' when you are axis, so it gets you -5 points for each destructible you blow.

Just checked it again, for some reason the first time I probably thought the axis were defending. Put it in the system.
