@SpudBug Orbital and Kaleidoscope used to be hard to win as attackers when there were the rooftop flags, and everyone complained about it so they changed the flags and now the opposite is true and people are complaining.

I think defenders get outside the zone and then don’t go in the zone to protect the flag even when they are just outside zone - not sure if it is a lack of situational awareness or players who value their KDR over wins.

Get this, at some point in the game, the defending side has to deal with

- much more vehicles (3Tanks, 6 Boltes, 3 Air vehicles ), this amount is allready overkill.
- spawn far, far away from they objectives if it is contested.
- have a longer respawntimer, means reinforcement won’t come fast enough to defend an objective.

How in thecworld are you supposed to win as defender ?
If you have a relative balanced match, the attacking side will always win by default.

Defenders have EMP's, mines, an operator that hacks vehicles, rocket launchers, AA launchers and another operator that can deploy projectile stopping armor.  Also as I have mentioned. There are objectives that are not easily overtaken by vehicles.  The far away spawn is a penalty for being killed and not having a squad member near the objective to spawn on.  The same penalty that can be applied to a player on the attacking side when their squad mates are not actively moving toward the objective.  I am fine with this.   

 

I see defenders winning in Breakthrough quite often.  Yesterday I was in two matches where the defenders won on the first set of objectives.  What is a balanced match in this game?  Usually if one team is terrible.  It is easy to see right away either as an attacker or a defender.
