You'd think this helps?

Just looked over the new map and it looks good so far.
I just checked the cutoffs A and A` again and while it helps to remove the sight blockers I still think there is a unbalance between south and north. I compared the with of the entrance and if I am not mistaken the southern one is wider. (Especially when the cover gets crushed) I think you can test this better in the worldbuilder, and if its the case slightly move the trees/bushes.




Regarding the West and East, West looks much better now. I would still like the East to have a bit more room for a wide flank with a tank.
Eastside has a much wider area to go along the edge of the map. I think a viable tactic should be to send the medium tanks on the flanks once TDs and Paks dominate the more open areas around C and A. Its possible right now, but pathing is restricting. A medium tank flanking along the edge to secure/cap the VPs is a good tactic that should be a bit easier. So I suggest this (move map edge, clear up the red area a bit):



Regarding the cutoffs, as you said they are retaken almost every time so whats the point of keeping them? The incentive to go mid would be still there because that's the only place were teamplay is possible. So every coordinated attack most likely goes throw mid. Also, the layout would be more intuitive because it follows a more standard map design. But overall this is just a minor thing you can leave it as is.

Overall not a bad map. Things I would change:
The first few things are just to make pathing and flanking in the early game easier.




The southern house on the fuel is too powerful. So creating new ways of attacking it would reduce its power without getting rid of it completely.
The green box stands for sight blocking bushes so it has one weak point and can be flanked from the east with flamepios nades etc.
Also, you can contest the victory point without getting suppressed by an mg in the house. I would also damage it slightly so it has reduced health (goes against the theme of the map but I can't think of another option).




The last one is to clean out mid a bit, so by the late game every side has equal opportunity to attack. So removing the small shed would clean up pathing and open mid up.



That were just the points I came up after going over the map and that can be solved rather quickly. Feel fre do add everything I missed.

Great article.
One thing that needs to be more emphasized in my opinion is, that commanders absolutely should be free. If we look at Steam, most of the negative reviews complain about pay to win. And that's always the case even with very cheap commanders.
Relic should heavily focus on customization to make money. There are so many opportunities. All that we have now and much, much more: unit skins, unit voice packs, announcer voice packs etc.

100% disagree. The amount of ppl dropping instantly would be so annoying.

There are many existing systems, that prevent that. Matchmaking time ban just to name one.

Could we perhaps exchange Lierneux or Ettelbruck for some older maps, that fell out of the Mappool? Eindhoven Country would be my favourite, but Schilberg would be good too. Almost every community map is better than Lierneux.

I aksed that many times but never got an answer. Why was were no offical preview mod? Why relic changed that proven concept?
Its almost funny how this turned out.
