This Brit commander is the worst (and the Sexton one of the worst units in the game now), but all stock British commanders need immediate attention. Changes to the AVRE (no hold fire button) have left if being almost useless as it spins 500 times before you can get the turret to line up on the now gone target. Commandos are in a doc with 4 munitions abilities, of which 2 of them are extremely high ~200 or >300 per shot.

Final complaint, why does Brit crew repair work on all vehicles? Shouldn't it be case by case like Soviet crew repair?

First congratulations to all the map builders who go their map in rotation. I would like to discuss the two new larger game mode maps.


Pros: Map has a variety of interesting combat spaces
Map is visually appealing
Clutter on roads is limited to facilitate vehicle pathing

Cons: Map has no clear flow
Completely uncontestable victory points
5 VP points is (in my opinion) not fun, it leads to huge losses of VP tickets just by retreating once
High income points are near one another and therefore easily covered by a single indirect fire weapon
Few pathways for infantry without narrow choke points
Fuel has only two entry points, is distant from base, and can be covered by Vickers with vet from so far away that units cannot get close enough to threaten
Strange choices in placement of hills and relief (makes AT guns very inconsistent)
Loss of any high resource point almost guarantees loss of other
Factions without FRP at extreme disadvantage

Summary: The map is fine for custom and comp stomp games, but cannot be a competitive map because it lacks the basic requirements of focusing gameplay and providing realistic opportunities to flank and unseat opponent. Map should be removed from automatch, currently a veto for me.



Pros: Really interesting cutoff set up
Map is basically symetrical with difference distinct enough to make sides easily understanable
Limits on buildings encourages good MG placement and movement of infantry
Map is simply pretty
Clear flow in gameplay from start to end
Addition of towers does not seem important, but at least is balanced and does add a bit of flavor

Cons: Indestructible tree sections really encourage camping at borderlines and emplacements from Brit players
Reduction of some elements outside of active fighting areas could assist vehicle pathfinding

Summary: I have not played much on this map yet, but I think it will be a good addition to the matchmaking rotation. Some elements could be tweaked to improve map.

Edit: Now with correct map names. Sorry for the confusion.

The tulip should remain as is, unless addressing the extreme low RoF of the Firefly, and the potency of German super heavy TD's, which require a Firefly alpha strike in order to even allow the Firefly a chance to kill them.

I agree that the damage to medium tanks is quite high, and disappointingly so. Technically if you are playing against Fireflies you are supposed to keep your mediums on the move, and use infantry based AT to help you punish the selection of a strict TD.

Dang, just as I feared. This is not a bug so much as a problem with player pop. As player pop falls fewer equally skilled players are around making matching take longer, this causes more players to quit and the cycle continues.

Unless they decide to revert the matching requirements this will only encourage smurfing by finding new partners to pair up with for your first 10 games where you can match with anyone.

Will these new skins be drops, also?

Congrats to the winners.

To my knowledge anything not a reward bulletin can be dropped, so yes.

Also, wow just wow. Really nice skins, all extremely well done.
