The map is just bad and unrealistic. A open field would never be any sort of stratigic objective in a war. If anything it would be fighting over the mountains and the high points in the middle and the edges. Maybe it would make more sense if they put a village or two in each of the cap zones and they were the reason to take control of it. As it stands now the map is just really cheesy and fake. Just like black day july. You just wont ever hear people in war go hey lets take control of that field and hold up there. it dosnt make sense. a forest a village some mountains anything for some sort of cover or stratigic value but not a open field. The whole concept of the map needs to be rethought. IF they threw a village in each cap zone and moved the spawns to the edges of the map that would be a lot better. Like the germans spawn on the right of the map the russians on the left. That way the whole map would be used and the center of the map throught he mountains and valleys would be a good chokepoint that would be important to fight over and hold just to have access to the other side of the map.
Many of the tank battles on the East front took place on huge plains/steppes that went on for hundreds and hundreds of kilometres. In many places, such as the region surrounding Stalingrad, or the approaches to Moscow were just that, wide open fields. The Russian Steppe. The battles didn't take place to control the field itself, but usually a strategic rail line feeding industrial centres or bringing supplies from industry, or road (which in WW2 Russia tended to be a muddy trail).
Perhaps to make the map more realistic, the mountains in the middle should be taken out so it truly does resemble the steppe, one large flat area. Then place small collective farms around it with "strategic" rail lines passing through it. It would at least give the map a point, an objective that makes sense historically.
