I think the main problem is that you can't run past the tents without getting shot pretty easy. Even getting shot at in spawn. Most people don't bother if they die 5 or 6 times in a row.

i might have missed this because i only read the first post, but do you have a data store log for this?
or do servers just have to guess and make stuff up for webadmin?

I remember that there is a Maxim position on the far right side, but I noticed that nobody (including myself) ever tries to go there, because there's a long sprint of open ground.
I am thinking that putting one or two small trailerpark-ish buildings like the maxim building- in front of the first two guns could make it more of a close quarters action. If the Russian team is good, they could set up a Maxim(?) or a DP in each and provide some inter-lapping fields of fire with the trailer to the rear.
Some russians could jump into the trailer (s?) and hold a weak defense line here, and do a last ditch shootout with the Germans over 100-130 meters.
If they can't hold the area, then they get rolled up.
I inspected the area today, and experimented with destroying the guns myself (in a small game), and the whole park is essentially a defensive wall that's facing the opposite direction. As in, the weak point is directly in front of the germans, while the strong point is the rear arc made by the tents and the house, and the hill to the left of it.':
---
Another observation, but an extension of what I noticed before: The Germans can swing far right, and flank the Russians right on the flank of the Trailer house. The final cap is in front of the ammo dump. The hill holds higher ground that's less than 100 meters away.
I swung far right over here again, and found that the branches were protecting me from counter-fire as the russians were trying to retake the trailer house and the hill. I mean, bullets don't seem to go through either way. I can see how an enterprising German team, after blowing all 3 guns could flank far right, up to the map limit (where warning, you're leaving the combat zone indicator shows up) every time, and completely finish the Russians in one quick 'sickle cut' by clearing the area of russians, and then running down to flood the trailer. Then the game's over.

Okay. I will try to sketch up a better defense for the next beta. These guns should be protected better. I want a meaningful attack and defense for the last objective. I get a lot of comments saying that its hard for both sides. This is good.

That is the whole truth. Any changes to this well balanced map and its epic last battle is likely to introduce unwanted bias. Please, let's not have it occur here. This map is bunches of fun to play as it is.

If you make any change, make the last cap a bit larger in the rear. I've usually played it as a Machine gunner (when playing russian), and I've always felt particularly unsafe moving into the last cap.

This can be done, easily.
Turn the collision off on the tents completely.
Then use a blocking volume that covers just the tent, and not the ropes.
Also, your fires don't flicker the lighting surrounding it. It's easy to do if you are interested, I can esplain it.
Opposite end of the critisism, your map is wounderfully amazing. Very refreshing to have a map that takes you the distance, across a sprawling battlefield.

I could change the collision to blocking volumes. But then you can't go inside the tents and take a nap.

Okay. If we remember the first day of release, K did not exist. I added K to fix that weird bug with the AA. But I never deleted K objective after I found out the REAL reason the AA guns didn't end the game. So here we are with K, an objective I hastily put into the map.
Plans:
-No beta until probably middle to end of October
-Removing the hill where the Germans like to sit and shoot straight into the camp
-Expanding map boundary
-Add a light defense in front of the AA guns so I hope the russians can gain around 1 to 2 more minutes with the guns
-Add light defense at the rear of the camp so Germans will need to kill those guys too to take the K cap
-Increase K cap time
Let me know what everyone thinks. I can just delete K all together but people like playing that objective.

I just entered the 24/7 tat server and it was full. I see that Allies were full so I joined axis. I didn't spawn. I checked the reinforcements and Axis had 0. I said okay that's normal. I check the objective and they were at E and F. Someone said B and C was a big problem for the axis. I was unable to see what happened so hopefully someone can fill me in. They said the axis lost the flanks of B and C to the allies.
My guesses:
Since axis lost the flanks at B and C, as they leave spawn, the allies would shoot at them from their flanks and kill them before they reach the cap zone.

I think that is wrong direction to go because there is high risk of ruining some aspects of the map (how it looks, gameplay etc.) and if I were you, I would just remove objective K.
