This is madness... no this is Sparta... NO! THIS IS RO2!

I've had it up to my neck with this BS:

Spartanovka map
I play for axis side, around 60 players on a server... a full blown battle.
I call in one mortar strike and that's it! No more! In the meanwhile reds call in three arty strikes with about 2 mins inbetween (as expected, due to time limit).
We lose round horribly (only manage to hold Gullies).

Next round:
Same procedure, I call in recon + mortars. One strike.
That's it! For the full round duration we get as far as Gullies and Church, and are pretty much stuck there. Noob team does not know how to advance and get slaughtered just at and around Church.
The good commander on the red side keeps calling arty strikes, at very good choices of location, may be 5 in total, no less than 4 for sure. In the meanwhile we get absolutely nothing. Can't call in either arty or mortar strikes, or recon, only force respawn.
The result is a miserable failure.

HOW can a map with so many players be won, if reds have unlimited arty strikes and we get ONE??????

Ps:
This is not limited to Spartanovka. Many other maps have same problem. Completely unbalanced BS.

Yeah, mostly. Depending on team and commander, I've been on red side many times and we managed by the skin of our teeth to hold last point maybe 50% of the time, but hey, it's a one-way map.

Like I said, at that time there were ~60 people, in a "deadlock", with two disadvantages - constant arty on us, single strike on them.
And axis lost both rounds.
