Poltawa South Side - Neutral building advantage

I'm not sure if this is a known issue, but I just ran into it for the first time. On Poltawa, the neutral buildings near the middle VP aren't identical, and actually give a noticeable advantage to the "south" (bottom left) player(s) in certain cases.

The difference between the north and south buildings is that the south ones have an upper floor window. When an MG is garrisoned into these buildings, it can setup in that upper floor window and fire across the LOS blocking fences, provided another unit is giving line of sight. The north buildings however, since they lack an upper floor, cannot offer this line of fire.

Essentially, the LOS blocking fences in Poltawa's center only work one way, which probably isn't fair (or intended).

I think Poltawa could use some small fixes. Also the fences near the capping point are different. The high fence on the south point allows to directly throw nade deep into the capping circle, while at the northern point the capping circle is further away from the fence.

But that would be things for our map builders.

In general I don't like the map because it is too narrow and lane for 2v2. Casemates are way too efficient here, especially SU85 and JT/Ele/ISU
