Who else agrees? I feel that adding the ruins to the cap area for the russians has ruined the gameplay on that map. I would like to see the cap area moved back to the way it was on danzig.
Yeah D is actually very easy to take compared to the old days. On the other hand A and B are a bit harder.Who else agrees? I feel that adding the ruins to the cap area for the russians has ruined the gameplay on that map. I would like to see the cap area moved back to the way it was on danzig.
There was another thread about this earlier, and the result was a resounding 'no'.
I assume the OP is an exclusive Axis player. Try playing Russians and assaulting that point. All the Germans need is a competent machine gunner in the window of the store across the road, since the MG-34 can shoot through walls, whereas it seems the Russian DP-28 can't for some ridiculous bloody reason. That ruin is basically a deathtrap.
Hmmm. Perhaps it is perceived not to fire through walls because its slow firing speed puts fewer rounds in a given space, and so it's less likely to kill when firing blind than an MG-34.I tried it out on Barracks and Fallen Fighters to see how the DP-28 MG behaves.
My impression is that its quite a competent gun, with a controllable rate of fire.
At Barracks, I could kill Germans in the school through the walls, shooting down from the NCO barracks.
Decent volume of rifle and machine gun fire, coupled with a few grenades tossed in the windows, keeps the Russians off the cap zone as it is.
This pretty much sums it up. You have to hide in that little ruin with no real cover and get nades tossed at you all day. The German's have excellent positions in the houses directly facing it and it's usually suicidal if you try going up the middle.
It's fine how it is now because it's a challenge to get. It's not like the Town Hall on that other map where the German's can cap it standing outside of it instead of having to clear the floors out.
I'm willing to bet that other maps are unbalanced in terms of Russian losses too.I would be interested in seeing the win/loss stats for german v russian on apartments. I'm willing to bet that its fairly unbalanced.
