I personally think that just having 1 counter offensive map was enough. But the Moat map is on the line of too un-realistic for me. I would personally like it if we get more standard Russian offensive maps. Maybe a map that go’s from the very far left streets of Lehrter-Banhoff to the start of the Moltke bridge?

add that the map is a fake version of “kroll opera hause” the distance between the control points is too much for the attacker and the Germans player have the sun in their faces all the time ( i not see the enemy) this map is a horrible experience for the attacker TLDR: the map sucks
No we need more german attacks. That way campaing stays intresting just like moscow.
Havent played map yet but how that differs for other attacks?

with the Germans it is about 150m -200m to reach a CP all with the sun in the eyes while the Russians shoot you and the t34-85 shoot you with the view clear from the gray area practically a target practice because counterattacks is from the reichstaig up to the kroll opera hause and you cross all the no mans land so zero cover from enemy fire but yes more counter attack malp like the station one are needed
Only played it once so far - as Soviets - Germans won easily
Starts with Soviets defending the last Reichstag garden point - the one in the open in front of Reichstag - then goes back 1 to the point on the side of the moat - these are the same 2 points as hte last 2 the Soviets attack.
Then has 1 new point - kind of hard to explain - in hte buildings beside the garden - then goes back through last 2 from the Kroll operahouse invasion - only with the Soviets defending.
no offense if you lost your team it was bad i dont see how the defender can lose if they have tanks and cas
the map is fully open
No it isn’t - the last 3 of 5 points are in buildings.
And hte same way the Germans lose the reverse match when they have tanks and CAS and hte last 2 points are “fully open”! 
ETA: And of course IMO the open points are hte easiest to take - have 1 guy on htem, arty or CAS wipes out the defenders - there’s 10 seconds before the next defenders can get there… and if that 1 guy dies he’s probably gained a few seconds of the cap, rinse and repeat…
Harder to do if there’s snipers overlooking that can pick off that 1 guy - but that’s how it always seems to work for me.
they could work harder as op said a map that allowed the Germans to push the Russians back over the bridge would have had more impact on the game
no only the 4 and 5 are in the kroll opera hause the 3 changes every time i played this 5 time
Sounds like most maps in berlin… i hope i can test it soon. Hopefully cap times are equal to soviet ones and not 3-4 times faster this time
the only advice is to wear sunglasses for the bloom when you playing her
This game is a bloom itself, they even removed the “dark” with rain version of Koenigsplatz and Kroll opera for no reason and keep those trash light effect on every campaign.

That, and I’d even add some side rotation. I know it would not be historical, but it would be funny to see Germans attack (counter attack) the opera from time to time. The only invasion map that would not make any sense as German attackers would be the one with Hitler’s personal hidey hole.
For the sake of gameplay, you know 🤷

Game isnt historical anyway, just ‘loosely’ based to ‘historical accuracy’.
I dont understand how german attacks would break more immersion then luftwaffe at full strenght.
Exactly for gameplay like you said.

how about one that has the players fighting in the reichstag itself?
I’m almost certain there will be something about that eventually. We can already fight on the front porch, they only need to render the interior. It’s iconic and highly requested, even if I believe the actual fighting that took place inside really didn’t last long at all, historically. But again, for the sake of gameplay… why not?

Had the Map 3 times, won it 2x. Dont see issue here, maybe reduce Gamma on your Screen?
There was actually a Waffen-SS Counteroffensive after the Soviets crossed the Moltke Bridge (the first point to capture for Russians on Kroll Opera), following day the Soviets then managed to attack the Reichstag under heavy Artillery involvement.
Still waiting the Reichstag invasion, first sector based on the last sector of Koenigsplatz and the last 4 inside the building
I think it will be more of a conquest map unless for a map they disable the vehicles for once
It’s not something impossible, look at the Kroll opera invasion. The first 3 sectors are vehicle based but the 2 last are only infantry. It would be a bit different from what we’ve seen and can be very fun as infantry based map, my soul will be crushed by PPD and PPSH after that. I would be very disapointed if they release it as conquest.
