In the Seek & Destroy update, amongst the many controversial map updates, Gaijin also included the following:
Advance to the Rhine — brick barricades have been removed from the park area. The size of the bushes has been reduced.
While the reduction of bushes is kind of hard to pin down without side-to-side comparisons, it’s the removal of the barricades that worried me initially. And now that I’ve ran into the map a few times in the last few days, my worries felt quite confirmed. Without these piles of rubble, you can have an absolutely unhindered line of sight down the path to whoever uses it. This sucks defensively since you can no longer go down the path with your back covered by the debris, and offensively you can no longer peek out of the barricades to ambush unsuspecting enemies. Aesthetically, it also makes the park area feel barren and undetailed, which is just unsightly.
