North team has more fast autoloaders?

GG south team.
All single shot light tanks become utterly useless till the autoloaders go full retard and get shot by TD’s.

Sure you can spot the island,but the only thing happening there is 2 tanks camping hard behind solid cover with a line of TD’s behind them.

Because if some players spend time learning maps its just not fair to those who don’t.

Any idea what to do with RU251 or medium as a bottom tier when starting south?
The most unbalanced map atm.

- If you have LT or fast med, you can easily counter and spot LT before he can reach E1 bush. Agree that it might be problem on low/mid tier battles where mediums are relatively slow compared to LTs/T67/E25 etc.
- Only problem with hill is one bush allowing to spot south rail Xing and middle area for north. Otherwise hill can’t be pushed without clearing middle and the same applies to 1 line.
- It’s perhaps the last “attrition” map where team that is making less mistakes wins, cause it’s quite hard to kill/spot tanks without being killed and people can play it.

Actually, I think that the reason for changing #1 hill was to make it easier to get up on it from the west. It’s already fairly easy to get up the hill from the east, which is where east spawning tanks would climb it. But IIRC, the slope on the west side of that hill was extremely steep and only the tanks with the most powerful HP/t ratios could get up it.

Thus it seems fair to me to make it easier for west spawning teams to climb that hill from the west.

As for the #6 areas, it doesn’t bother me if they remove the water and make those areas more playable.

As for the name “Sand River”, it can be metaphorical, ya know. Or it could be a long dry river bed, something not unheard of in desert areas.

They really need to stop fucking around with maps for a while, this one already barely worked, it’s a fuckfest in normal mode and often either impossible to attack or defend in assault depending on team compositions. (td & cancer ratios + presence of strong turrets with gun dep or not )
And since you get it pretty much all the time if you play assault I guess I’ll have to turn it off for good like encounter. The only thing they need to change is the fake bushes along 2 and 3 which don’t do jack shit.

Really? If they want to rework my favorite map, then it’s time to finally leave the game.
