I am usually a German MGer on Basovka on my squads server. What I do is get to the first rocks as fast as I can. Set up and fire a buncha bursts off.If lucky I will get 1-6 russians but the main thing is they drop and try to kill the mger and stop running toward the trench. after a quick reload I charge the trench nading. Then I go assault mode MG and clear the trench with short bursts from the hip. Hopefully your team is in there with you as well by now. Then when trenches clear get to the crates on the left. You have a clear shot down the main path for the ruskies. Usually this will help cap the middle. Then I run forward blind firing at the station from the hip before setting up in a good spot where with single shots and bursts I try to make a nuicence of myself until it is ok to run in the station in Assault mode. It is a team effort though you need good rifles and smgs to back up and they give you ammo to keep up a constant fire. TheSL needs to know how to use his arty and smokes. Never arty the front of the station so many times I have lost due to cant getting into the station cause the squad leader has arty permaspawned on the stations front door.

I usually like to play as leader because i can use the smoke & dont nuke useless areas with artillery.
I try to keep the smoke as close to the trenches as possible & create a screen across the center for a start. Then tell the team to attack the at gun. If no one moves say move out which usually gets them moving. If you've got a g41 or mp40/41, dont bother ironsighting when in the trenches because the russians wont & use the usual tactic of just spraying you with the ppsh. Only iron sight if you've got a good long distance of trench. Try to save artillery until you attack the station, calling it in while you still need to cap the at bunker is a waste of time.

Arty can be useful on the bunker objective IF it's placed BETWEEN the bunker and the station. Likewise, you need to place arty BETWEEN the final Russian spawn and the station. The use of arty on Basovka should be to slow the enemy from getting to the cap zone.
Basovka is a terrible map playing as Germans, and I'd like to point out main reason for phail on teh german side is the troops not moving into the capzone, rather than specific people not doing stuff right
The first cap is always a big meat grinder because most germans are laid back & sit there and try to shoot the russians in the trenches rather than running up there and taking the cap
