this map needs to be changed, it’s the only stand alone map in my opinion at top tier which is absolutely lop sided. Whoever spawns on south side controls the entire west side of the map. They can drive across and sit hull-down before the other team can even try to cross the road. And other maps where you have to drive and win to control a section like this, this map hands A cap to south side spawn. Drive 10 seconds off the break and you own it. Just sit and wait for them to attempt to cross.
From the moment the game begins it is shut down. As in literally indefensible for the north side spawn.
While I agree with you, to me this is a particularly egregious example. Not where you’re spawn trapped, not where you have to rush from spawn to control a side of the map. you control one side of the map almost literally from spawn simply by turning left when match starts… About 30m left off spawn and they can’t leave if there’s more than 2 of you because there’s no gap in fire for them to move out and hit you. They have to fire on the move to hope to get across you’re just a stationary hull down gun if you decided to run across as well.
If you decide to do that, you can STILL get across and get setup in hull down before they normally even begin to start to try and cross.
In order to lose on that side your team has to be absolute horrendous.
As you’ve said, south side can control the road, basically reserving A for themselves. Furthermore, from A side you can control plenty of routes from spawn to B, basically shutting down half of the map with just 2-3 people.
You can just rush behind A to here and clap their snipers/respawners with ease.
The road sight line is somewhat fine at lower tier where people won’t have darts and LRFs, but higher you go, the worse it becomes as ~1300m of range to those vehicles is nothing.
Yup, it’s just annoying. I’ll just start leaving from now on if I get that north side spawn. I always used to play and grind till the last tank to try and help the team. But I am really starting to understand why people do the things they do.
It’s an absolutely terribly designed map once modern tanks are introduced.
If you’re on south side, sure. Without a doubt it is the worst top tier map because it wasn’t made with these tanks in mind. The distance the shot covers is so fast, lazed to accuracy almost instantly. There’s no chance, it is a bad map for high and top tiers.
This is literally my point lol. It’s a relatively fair fight on b and c. A is absolutely crap, and it allows you to watch their spawn… and routes to b and c.
It’s bad for top tier. No place should be locked out simply by spawning in.
Feels like WT has pretty much stagnated when it comes to everything non-vehicle related.
ARB is still a brainless TDM mode where most non-fighters are 2nd class citizens. Seems like everything revolves around FOTM brokenly OP plane(s).
GRB still has maps that can’t cope with modern vehicles that introduces multiple problems.
Updates are getting more rushed with more copy/paste just to please (and milk) the average consoomer.
It’s literally impossible to lose on the south side if your team has a single braincell. Even this Japanese shitbox can lockout 40% of the map on it’s own.
