Starting side for each nationality now fixed?

Whilst I have indeed played both sides of every map in the past. The last 30 + games or so have had the soviets on the same side each time (recent patch maybe?)

South (away from city) in Lienne Forest
South in La Gleize
West in Lanzarreth Amush
West in Rhez Winter
South East in Steppes
West in City 17
North in Faceoff at Rostrov (thanks relic )
South in Lazur Factory

By north I am assuming top of the map as there are no indications of directions.

I will now start a game and see if I get egg on my face

I've had that feeling too, since last patch.

Not only that, but player positionning seems a bit odd too, I'm found myself in the same place most of the time : Upper-Right on Semois (not once on the left), Upper-left on City 17 and Rzhev (not once on the right), upper-right on Oka River (not once on the left) although I rarely end up in the center, maybe it has something to do with player's names ? (positionned by alphabetical order ? Given my name starts with a C, more often than not I'm first in the alphabetical order)

Just a theory though, could be wrong, maybe just a statistical coincidence.

Those numbers always existed, but are only now being displayed in the loading screen (Before you could only see them if you selected set locationsduring custom battles). For ranked matches they are always set to random starting locations which will randomize sides and base location.

In other words, nothing has changed guys. It's just showing you where the bases are now.
