That’s the nature of this game mode.
If you make it balanced, it just turns back into Battlefield’s conquest.
Big +1 from me. You did well not to set it up ahistorically, with BR based teams it can work.
Only problems I found are as follows:
While it is desirable to have the kind of instant action we see in this mode, it also means that the features of the map are much more skewed to one team or the other. For example on Maginot snipers have a big advantage, while on Port Novo a good mix of mobility and brawling will give you the initial advantage, etc.
Because contact with the enemy is instant and there is little chance to set up, whoever the initial map layout favours is likely to win.
After that, the snowball effect proceeds even quicker than GRB.
I am not sure if there are ways to keep the strength of this mission type while ameliorating the weaknesses, but in the meantime I’m enjoying it.
It’s not SL spawn only. It’s Silver Lions + Spawn points combined - which is a F joke…

ATTACK THR D POINT!!!
lovrly that this gamemode is here, but why no special vehicle rewards? Anyways why’d u guys pick some of the worst maps u have. Port Novo is dogwater, and Volokolmsk is so bad that ppl had u remove it in the past. Maginot Line is great to see though!

I’m not getting near that with a 10 foot spear unless they remove volokolamsk

If we play a U.S lineup does it earn us point towards the America 250 rewards for Independence Day?
so far this is not enjoyable, each match has just been spawn camp and snipe so far

Yes!
@Stona_WT @Smin1080p_WT Major bug with Port Novo. It is possible to go out of map bounds.
An enemy and I got curious about how far it went and ended up having a duel in the low poly air map area.
Should be closed off asap tbh.

Map choices so bad to show this mode off that I gave up to play mariokarts update…
Haven’t gotten defend once, it seems very obvious that defenders are at advantage.
Id prefer if the match started in the middle and both teams had to PTFO to push the other back. Would stop one team being able to camp and the other forced to lemming themselves in the open

Yes, it works. I just checked in game.

Very cool but really a missed opportunity to also have this be a historical battles event like people have been begging for for years

oh so its still flooded with time travel slop
Porsche Tiger is really strong but I think most of that is people not knowing how to fight it. I have 1.5k games in it.
If someone tries to shoot my unangled front plate, they will do nothing unless they have a very high pen gun. Lots of people try to shoot the front plate.
If someone goes for the cupola, they will immeditately disable my gunner.
If someone goes for the VERY weak 80mm hull corners, it is a free kill.
In the niche scenario of good hard cover to the left side hiding both the cupola and corner, allowing me to angle so much you can’t see the other corner, it is borderline unkilleable unless you can go throuhg the turret face.
I think it is a sidegrade from a Tiger 1 against anyone who knows what they’re doing. It is objectively better against people who don’t.
Anyone who drives it backwards is a no fun tryhard.

Couldn’t disagree more. The previous iteration of this, in World War in 2022, was horribly unbalanced. Historical MM has never once produced reliably competitive game modes in WT. It all ends up with lopsided queue times as people flock to the side they perceive to be stronger.
Using BRs for this mission type was the best thing they could have done. Especially since I imagine if it does become permanent, it will join Conquest, Domination and Battle in AB/RB/SB, so there’s literally no point testing it without BRs tbh.
In any case, BVVD did say there would be something like a historical event later this summer, in his nuclear thunder post, so you’ll get your wish, I would think.

It is not a WW2 event. It is a mission type event. The test is about the Advance mission and how it compares with Conquest/Battle/Domination. This is not the summer historical event they were referencing, but the new mission type test they were also referencing…
Which 3.7 - 5.7 vehicle has access to APFSDS?
Do you also not play GRB?
Also imagine thinking “muh HEAT-FS” will ever be a bigger threat to you than ridiculously unrealistic buffed APHE lol.
The D Point has returned, Praise the Snail!
