Best playercount for pubs

[Atomskytten]

I think most of the maps are too large for 32 players - especially maps like the Tractorworks, Berezina and Zhiotomir and which are really so large that a full battalion should be needed to attack and hold all objectives if it weren't for the way objectives are capped.
In short I think that anything below 64 players is too small a number to satisfy me for realism in number of players - right now it is more like two opposing gangs than two opposing armies or even companies...

I played a lot the russian server lately and this is absolutely amazing.
The game becomes very tactical because the frontline appears very quickly and needs organization to be efficient. I salute also the russians with whom i played with(or against), they are good players and talk a lot more than on any other public servers(even clans server).

Most maps I prefer an 8 on 8. Anything bigger and it just seems to turn into a lagfest (which is a lot worse with tanks than infantry) or a nadespam fest.

Depends on the map but in general more is better, the only thing I would have against it is whether my comp can handle it. But pure gamewise, more is better.

I think ideal count is 28-26 on most official maps. With 32 players, some maps get "very crowded" and chaotic. 28-26 ensures both enough players and balanced/tactical fighting.

This depends on the map of course, I'd very like to play a map like Tractor Works with 40-50 players on a larger scale

I 've seen a 44 players server. There 's a lot of fun playing in that server.
Yes.The more, the merrier.
