It is physically impossible for you to capture, or block captures, without standing on the point.
Not ten feet to the left of the point.
Not in a building behind the point.
Not under a destroyed tank in front of the point.
You have to stand ON the objective.
“Trying to turn a building blue right next to an uncontested point and doing nothing” should be added to the drop-down box for reporting reasons.
That is all.

And not even just behind it pointing a machinegun at it! (although that can be very satisfying!!)

The machine gunner’s usefulness is tied 1:1 with the usefulness of riflemen and assaulters, because ideally your bible-length killfeed should help advancing forces move in. But this only works if they, you know, move in.
The best defence, it’s actually ahead of the points on the enemy way…

Given you aren’t pushed up 200 meters, and there is at least three full squads on the point, yes.

Machinegunner’s uselfuness is tied 1:1 to enemyspawn point where it can mown down whole enemy team over and over again

Yeah I agree but the amount of time’s people scatter around the point and nobody sits in the point and 1 assault guy goes in and caps the point is very disappointing.
Also if the defenders break the momentum of attackers momentum then they can win but if they are out front and the point get’s capped they have to chase to catch up and sometimes the next point will also fall and thus you get a snowballing effect (I’m sure you’ve done this and seen this). The best way to fix that is usually get killed and get into the point with a fresh squad and wipe out their rushing units and hold there until you see you’re team actually rally a defensive formation.
Someone has to be that guy protecting the point.

And it’s like, I don’t mind being that guy hanging out to watch the point. But if I start getting overrun, and I’m spamming “Defend point” in quick chat in between throwing back grenades and dodging bullets, for the love of God come help.
Personaly i think thats biggest issue in berlin while playing axis. Today 4 or 5 axis palyer just died cause they were out of combat zone after soviets captured 2nd point, dont know if they was spawn camping or what
If you are in squads and some people quit, I’ve found that placing a yellow ping on the point draws the bot squads in like moths to flame. Which is more useful than actual players killing themselves out of bounds.

Yeah I’ve got like 4000IQ, a test on the internet told me so
I really don’t get the logic of some capture points, and why so many adjacent buildings aren’t included in various points that are reasonable cover. Or trenches for that matter.
Points that make you choose between hard cover or physically being on the cap to prevent capture is bad game design, imo.
in rising storm 2 there is the same system the only difference is that if you have to conquer a village the whole village is the CP, in enlisted if you have to take the village you have to conquer the piece of land near that cannon flack88, and then the terrified enemy from having lost an unusable flack88 they will run away

THIS is what I am talking about, last obj, I had no ammo and managed to sneak around the point with a knife until the enemy was at 275 waves, and my entire team is just chilling in spawn. This should be a bannable offense. They were just stacked up there, for like eight minutes. No artillery fire, no tanks or mgs keeping them pinned, they could’ve just pressed W+Shift and we would’ve won.
Guess you can’t ban bots.
