Train escort mode is a disaster


For most time of the match, attacking side has MORE HUMAN than defender, also we have superior equipment like someone with IS-1.
Also we build multiple rallypoints.

But the balance is a disaster.
We ran out of tickets just past 2nd point!

It’s a CERTAIN lose match when we reached 2nd point. But I kept playing to see how terrible this mode is.

There’s seems no limitation to defenders. They can even spawn camping attacker’s map spawn point.

Also since we are forced out of the train, the train’s guns is useless to us. We can only rely on planes & tanks(we already have IS-1/IL-10, late stage vehicles).

Also rally point isnt useful after the train moves.

I “may” still want to play some more match on this mode to come up with some extra ideas.
Hope I will not quit midmatch when I met this mode again.

I have been winning most matches on both sides on this map as Axis (attack & defend). Many skilled Axis players have returned to campaign for a quest to Tiger so Berlin is not one sided real players vs bots stomp anymore.

Although i must say attacking is harder, building spawn points is a key even if they dissapear fast and biggest chance depleting enemy tickets and stopping train is at last objective on the bridge. Often it’s important to take initiative and go clean out frontal perimeter of train by yourself.

When defending radio squads helps very much to clean front of train and keeps it rolling.

Another problem is that many good players are not ready for such a long matches and often leave game around halfway or if their team is initially losing, thus lessening odds of winning even more.

Where are these skilled players? Since the update German team is full of low level/no skill players, a lot of them leave right at the start ending up playing with 3 humans top and the rest are either bots or the first case I named, or even worse both. Basically since the update Russians are destroying Germans. I don’t know if stupid server is putting me on Eastern Europe server or what it’s not funny.

it happens more often than you think and it’s really nerve-wracking, especially if you play AXIS in moscow and berlin is a certain defeat

Where was this post when axis were only the attackers?

My only issue is I get the damn game mode more than half the time. Its fun but I dont want to play it that much

a battle between armored trains would have been more interesting, like the “capital ship” mode of battlefront 2

I’ve been playing axis only on Eastern Europe servera, more than 50% wins lately. There are some lost bot matches toobut not too many.

What time of day?

Any time basically. Just won 1 conquest and 1 invasion, mostly wins during last few days.

Biggest issue is in Your screen, deserters.
I got 7 deserters in my team in one game, that dragged beyond 40min, even though defeat was in certain in 5min that most of people leave.
Once these wussies sniff even slightest chance of defeat, they desert instatly, leaving team filled with bots to be massacred.
The match is waaay too long, even airfield with baloons can be faster. There is no point in playing with 200 tickets left when team can’t cap second point, and only xp boosters make people stay in game.

Too many deserters recently, even a third of players in a team deserting is not unusual recently, given that there are some bots from the beginning. Need to remove 5x more xp for desertion.

Most deserters leave early, or when they sniff defeat in air, like when cap gets ultra fast capped, or team can’t get first cap in 5min.
So they don’t lose too much xp anyway.

The winner side xp mlutiplyer is sadly the reason, You get half xp bonus, while losing side eats shit, even if You have best score and try to carry for 40min, some dude on other side could be eating dinner while playing, doing 3 bombing runs and getting more xp. This is a joke

I’d suggest not complaining about that, or they may very well just remove it entirely.

I’m nearly certain people will still quit even if there is no xp incentive in the next match.
