The change in reinforcement levels has made a big difference in this map. I've played earlier versions of this numerous times on 2Manny's server, nearly all from the Russian side, and nearly always lost due to running out of reinforcements. Those few times we won were a real accomplishment.
Played a couple of rounds last night (actually played most of one round from the German side) and noted that the Russians were doing much better on reinforcements. The feeling was not quite so desperate on the Russian side, and on the German side there was much more of a feeling that we had to either A) Kill a lot of Russians or B) Storm the East Bank while it was still heavily defended.
I'm not saying this is necessarily good or bad, just different. It seems like a much more even battle now, but my understanding of the earlier versions was that it wasn't supposed to be even, which raised the bar pretty high for the Russian side. With a good Russian team (or a really bad German one) it could be a lot of fun, but it was often frustrating.
Just some feedback from someone who appreciates this map and has some experience with it.
P.S. Love the new AT guns.
