Fix Tank sniping on Berlin River Crossing

In Berlin, particularly on Invasion in Berlin at the strategic Zone on the Island under the Bridge, German Tanks just sit out of the Allies Boundaries on the Hill and have a perfect line
of sight to Tanksnipe Allies (Same thing for Snipers btw but the Tanks are far worse).
Playing as Allies, you can‘t do anything against it because it is inpossible to place an Airstrike or go there by foot because it is out of boundaries. The only thing you can do is get in a vehicle yourself or try it with Artillery, but the tanks always have the advatage and are very far beyond the front.
To fix it, you could either make it so that Airstrikes can be placed or simply widen the borders. You would of course have to move the German Spawnpoints a bit back but that would make the Game more interesting in my opinion, because the germans would have motivation to actually play engineers which they practically don‘t now because the spawn points are so close.

To be honest I think the situation is very similar on both sides. Allied tanks can also camp way in the back, up the road, and still see half the bridge without being exposed. Same situation, so far in the gray that infantry can’t even make it there.

It’s a bit of a weird point. Smoke helps I guess, but it’s a rough one to assault because it’s difficult to flank, it’s so shallow and constantly covered by snipers and vehicles. Moving all the spawns back a bit and widening the play area seems like it could be a good solution.

to describe this problem the best, you only have one position to spawn from, this is a big problem with tank spawns in general, if you had multiple options, these types of spawn trappings would disappear

It’s called revenge

Tanks cannot stop the tidal wave of infantry capping the bridge in seconds (only infantry can, and maybe some bombs)

Infantry is somewhat protected by the solid bridge sides, too. Especially if they duck.

In the end it amount to Germany and Soviet tanks dueling it out from across the river.

True - that bridge is somewhat difficult to capture by the infantry.

But - the tank battles are awesome on this map.

In my opinion one the best maps for the tanks.

If you wouldn’t get stuck every 30 seconds on some random scrap or terrain irregularity…
