Why didn't I know the Road to Kharkov map has changed a lot?

I like the changes other than the cut offs. It's much more open so there's more avenues of approach and 3 mgs won't be able to lock down the whole map

I'm not a fan of the new buildings, it leads to an annoying rush to control them at the start of the game. Brits get shafted if they can't hold the buildings with no indirect fire.

Cut off is too far back , imo. I like the openness of the center too.

I'm not a huge fan of the open middle so far. It just feels a bit... plain, featureless. A few pieces of cover would make it look a bit more interesting for me.

Brits have two forms of indirect fire: Pyrotechnics base Howitzer barrage and a mortar pit.

They also have a flamethrower on wheels.



Hello everyone, thanks for all the feedback regarding the changes to Road to Kharkov.

I was hesitant moving 2 of the cut-off points so far back, but figured I'd try it out and see what the response was like. With that said I have no problem moving them a bit further forward (back towards their old positions).

Please continue to post your feedback.


thanks


I would definitely prefer them to be moved forward a bit.

I also think that the strat points can be a bit too clustered. You can cap 3-4 of them in the same time it would take to do 1-2 on other maps.

Hmgs, especially brit hmg in a small balding near right vp covers half of the map.

Everything is too open, so spam even more hmgs, flanking are impossible anyway.

It took some serious effort to turn bad map into one of the worst maps.


I agree with you when I'm playing in 2vs2 mode. I would rather play north old kharkov than any position in new kharkov anyday.

I generally dont like the cutoff mechanic. It makes the game too straight forward and predictable.

I would move the cut offs up some, but not all the way up to where they were before.

And what do you guys think of the new minsk map? I really like the changes they made, the mid is more open I love that! It makes the map much better. Good job to the mapmakers! :D

Minsk change was good. Kharkov change, not so much for some reason. If they just made kharkov the same as before but put gaps in the forests in the middle and made the map wider from the forested side, it would be much better.
