There are quite a few invasion maps and most of them are pretty much balanced. However when it comes to Le Bre, the balance goes out of the window. As a defender, it is nearly impossible to see the oncoming attackers due to foliage, trees and a shit ton of debris. The points themselves are quite easily captured due to them being rather open. It suffers from the fact that the attackers can quite simply walk up to the point without even being seen. A couple of hotfixes might not be enough to balance it out so maybe a rework is needed (would prefer this). Thank you for reading.

Thank god ! Somebody mentioned this ! Its soo annoying as defender, YOU CANT SEE THE FUCKING KRAUTS, flanks are covered by houses, trees and those tall stone fences, and points are too close to one another, ive played many times that god awfull map as a defender ( US ) and i never won a single time ! Great post sir !

I’ve won quite a few matches as Allies on Le Bre, I’ve also lost as many as I’ve won as Axis. The first house is actually not that hard to defend as long as you play good CQC and the second and third points are nightmares for the Axis to take. And if that doesn’t stop you a roaming Stuart can gun down dozens of axis because of the chokes to get to some of the points.

something you can do to help the defenders if you are in tank - run over some of those fences and trees!!

EXACTLY! Taking out those fences and walls prevents you being caught out sometimes. You just gotta know where to break up the terrain.

Ever since i wrote this suggestion/complaint i did manage to win on Le Bre. It came down to axis being really bad and allies putting loads of defences at the first point. I see the what you are suggesting with the tanks running over some obstacles which obscure vision, but i dont think that should be a necessity in order to be able to defend. In any case, thanks for the ideas!

In my experience this is still an issue.
I have yet to win on this map as a defender, the last game I lost the enemy had around 500 tickets left.
The attacking side has more defences than the defending side.
The last point (church) isn’t even accessible to the Germans without going around or from the side, which means they’re up for the picking. The amount of cover that there is for defenders is not sufficient considering there is barely any visibility.
If you stay at the point you’re just sure to get bombarded nonsensically until you die from it, get perma stunned or these new premium or elite squads just go in prefiring killing everyone.
The state of the game is going from decent to bad before it even got out of Beta imo.
