Played some more, feels more balanced now. Only small issue I have is that A and B are too easy now. Perhaps a little more difficulty (not too much) on A and B and a little easier D and E would be nicer in my opinion. 
Bridges Of Druzhina - totally epic, but...
- Thread starter IncubusDragon
- Start date
Played a few more round the past days, the map is very good (cant compare it to the final version of Harley's yet).
2 of the rounds I played however were with lockdown enabled which is totally pointless in maps like this.... Seriously server admins??

This is now my favorite map, congratulations to the maker. I love playing both sides, it's fantastic.
I know you guys are gonna kill me, but I still haven't seen the Russians win a single round, even after the update. Even with all those tickets, they still seem to run out all the time.
But perhaps they need some more time to learn the map, I guess...

I've immediately jumped to winning about 50% of the time on attack, so unless teams are skewed when I play, seems to be a lot more even.
That said, I probably need to find better servers - I'm often only guy throwing smoke and/or switching to engineer to clear tank traps... very lazy players most of the time, but what the hell, I'm enjoying it

I noticed the generalized laziness lately too.
There was this match some other day, the map was Red October Factory and we went the whole first round without blowing up a single objective... off course we couldn't make not even to the first cap.
So I changed to engineer and destroyed that door on the left flank and all of a sudden we started to move up and cap the first point, then the next and the next.
Sometimes all it takes is someone to play the role.
Could not agree more. Playing kessel or even racowice without engineer is a lost cause most times. Rather than complain there is no engineer, experienced players should just step up.
Yea I know what you mean. These little pricks start freaking out when their commander/squad leader tries to actually IDK Give them an Order? Then they whine till the cows come home when they keep getting mowed down one by one......I tried to get the herd of newbies moving yesterday but got greeted with "stfu" and the usual beginners banter...when the tank commander asked how to switch to HE shells 15 minutes into the round i knew it was time to change sides and end this sharade quickly.
Still i think people will learn how to play Ro and this map..and all the others.

Perhaps that is why we lose interest in "official" maps so quickly. They tend to be geared more for a generic player set? Granted there are/were some epic official maps in RO1 but I've found most of the RO2 maps (in general) to be less intense). I think most custom mappers try to bring a unique experience and challenge to their maps. Everyone that sticks with the game (or a map) will become "vets" at some point so I don't see the problem with having challenging maps. Evil Hobo's original Kreigstadt map (not the DH version) comes to mind. The last objective took almost complete co-ordination by the Russians to win. But it was so rewarding when accomplished.
But then people seem to enjoy the matchbook size maps and repeating play style of S&D in CoD. So what do I know? Then, too, there are the whining threads of teamstacking (aka biased maps).
I guess my point is similar to Mr. Moe's. Aside from bug fixes and minor tweaks, to date, I have preferred the mapper's final versions.
nymets1104,
Your remark is good. It's work also with respawn on SL.
Everything need experience and art. even respawn on SL, even saper. Panzer too.
I have no consideration for someone who doesn't use well respawn on SL (either as soldiers or either as SL). As i have no consideration for a player who take a saper only to have the weapon. "Not doing is job" is the sure way to see difference betwen good players to bads players.
In another side, a saper killing 2 enemy Tanks who are close in same time absolutely fascinates me ! It's an artist ! (my opinion)
What is fascinates me ? it's the way of playing of players who make impossible possible. (and they change the face of the battle by this facts of this kind!).
You know already it, you can have someone who take saper and failed.
You can have a team who blow the door in Kessel and who failed.
I think even without saper, Rakowice or Stalingradkessel can be winned. It will be difficult. (more difficult). But with few "players-artists", it's possible.

Played yesterday the map as attackers and... well I love the map design and everything. But a couple of halftracks/carriers wouldn't hurt my team didn't even manage to capture D and E because it's pretty much killzone everywhere + when we finally almost got the point capped enemy arty hammered us back to the other side of the river.

D & E are pretty hard, but some guys on the flank can clear out the points, then smoke and cap.
Oh I see
Perhaps we didn't flank enough and sought too much cover from the bridge.

Usually after C the tank just kills the silly beans running around the middle of the map. These are usually newer players taking the fast way.....to death. IF the tank gets into the middle of infantry attacking either D or E smartly letting HIS infantry be around him ....it seems to help. Just have to be careful to NOT run over your guys. And to get close but NOT to close to the obj. Hopefully your infantry will cover you from the running guys with at grenades. When done right the tank comes out with fewer kills BUT the objectives A threw E fall fast.
Also Vehicles like a bren gun carrier would have next to NO effect on this map. Although that t70 seems a natural. replace the one t34 with 1 or 2 of them? Na leave it as is.! Well actually the t70 maybe perfect....
Flashburn,
Except respawn on vehicles...
NOOOO NOOOO NOOOOOO WEEE NEEDD T 34444 !
T 34 + T70 ok
T 34 + T 70 + T 70 ok if you want
T 70 + T 70 NOOO Just : no.

LOL. T70 hater. But seems natural that a questionable 2 person light tank instead of a t34 for a map where the Germans have no armor. I like the older version of this map better...IE from the maker. BUT I have to say that TW DID improve it for the masses. For better or worse.
As for spawn on vehicle? Why it is still a smallish map. Would need to be a bit bigger. Well for TE. It IS a decent sized length wise but not width.

T34 is overkill and inappropriate for attachment to an inf platoon.
It should be an Su76 Assault Gun. Infantry support.
