| AxiskillerObject5m constantly loses HP. As long as team X holds the flag the cage is linked to it respawns right away. If team X loses this flag it doesn't respawn making whatever is within AxiskillerObject5m accessible, usually another flag.
AxiskillerCage5m has to be removed manually with a "killercage-killer". That's what I think at least, I haven't worked too much with the pushmap system yet.

| @Endless, Mr J: Regarding the AxiskillerCage5m: Wouldn't it be a solution to put sandbags in a 5 m radius around the flag so one cannot take it by sitting in a tank but only while leaving the tank and getting in the 5 m circle? Than you do not have destroyed buggy tanks there for the rest of the round.

| I suggest to add pushcage to the last flag on the Juno Beach to avoid backcapping, since when it happens, Allies get access to German armour, while Germans can't use Allied equipment, so it turns into spawnraping.
Quote starking018 (  ) I would like to request the addition of BT7 tanks on many soviet maps. There used to be server-side mods that did this for many maps, but not anymore. Now I don't exactly remember which of these maps originally had a BT7, but I would like to have quickly respawning and/or multiple BT7 tanks on these maps, if they don't have them already:
A day of Zitadelle
Alaska
Battle at river Don
Battle Of Orel
Battle Of Valirisk
Earned in Blood
Iron Monster
Kharkov Outskirts
Kharkov Winter
Operation Spring Awakening
Prokhorovka
Spurning Fate
Suomussalmi
The Great Pursuit
The Storm
Transcarpathia
I thinks this only make sense for pre-1943 maps, as most part of BT-7's was lost by that time, though some were still on Leningrad front and for training purposes, and for Manchuria maps.

| Could you also add a Sturmtiger to one of the Ardenne Offensive maps? I don't care which one (but not Foy, that's mostly an infantry map). I think it would be historically accurate since according to Wikipedia they did see combat in late 1944 on the Western front.

On Nordwind is one I think. Not really Ardennes but it's the same front, year and it's also snowy.

It's the same thing as on Stalingrad Redsquare where you can only take the flag when you go in the sandbag circle around the flag.

| Server crashed yesterday on Kikusui Day 2. But it wasn't because of my changes. Turns out the Lion on this map is bugged (too many network infos), the easiest fix would be to replace it with a second South Dakota.

| Were you ever able to fix Bougainville? Appearantly it still crashes the server and I it's not in the map rotation, but the PrinceUmeboshi server can run it without problems.

| No because I don't know what caused the crashes. There's also no update available on the PrinceUmeboshi homepage.
We haven't tested this map on the new server though, might be worth a try.

| I think that in general push mode is undesirable for this game and should be avoided.
Most maps represent a single tactical engagement within a single battle, not even a whole battle. The maps represent a short period of time and are played for a extremely short period of time (half an hour). Push mode would make sense for something which takes place over an area so large, and takes so much time, that issues such as supply lines would have to be accounted for somehow. Only then would it make sense to add such arcade mechanisms as push mode so as to represent the fact that you just can't fight forever without sufficient supplies. But for what the maps in this game actually are - there is no rational reason why you should be forbidden to capture positions behind the front line. What else do you think a push system would represent, other than the need for a supply route? Battle orders coming straight from God? "Rules of engagement"? This is ridiculous.
The thing is that it is generally harder to take a back flag than it is for the other team to retake that flag. That's why in many cases it is not even worth it to attempt to capture back flags, but in many other cases it is not only worth it, it is the smart thing to do. You see - if you think of an actual battle or of a map that does not have push system - often there is a lack of backcapping because it is extremely hard or useless tactically, NOT because there are some other reasons why it would be impossible. So there can't and won't be constant backcapping on every map (e.g. Apennines), but a player should have that option if he/she decides that it is worth it and is able to pull it off.
The push system could even be removed from most maps, and yes, it would completely change the gameplay for many of them, and it may require other changes (e.g. disabled parachutes, longer times to capture flags, etc.), but the maps would still be as fun or even more fun to play. I would imagine that maybe you want to have some push maps for those times when there are too few players and you would want to have only one area to fight in. But other than this use case I don't see much else that push mode is good for. I don't propose to remove the push system from every map, but please, at least don't add new restrictions of this sort on maps that don't currently have them. That would also save you a lot of headaches that arise from having the push system.

| As you've mentioned a major reason is it makes big maps playable for 20 players which otherwise would just be running in circles for 30 minutes.
Quote starking018 ( ) What else do you think a push system would represent, other than the need for a supply route? Battle orders coming straight from God? "Rules of engagement"?
Battle Orders from the higher command maybe? idk Without pusmap system every tank drives off in a different direction which also is not representing history/RL. I like when both teams are focused on one or two flags sometimes you can even see little fronts forming, feels like you're part of something bigger. Of course I also like maps which give you the freedom of choice which flag you want to attack, e. g. Kharkov Outskirts.

I agree to some extent, caging Gela was not really necessary imo because Italy still has a mainbase and they receive extra tanks when Allies take the last flag. But on maps with a capturable "main" like Fall Weiß it is kind of needed, some people took the Stuka at round start just to cap that flag. Since everything Poland has spawns there and they can't defend 3 fronts at once (with 20 players) it makes sense to cage it so that the map isn't over after 5 minutes. Removing para sounds also like an idea which could be tried, idk what MrJ has to say about that.
Apennines is not really a great map imo, it's just a long bottleneck with no tactical options. Pushmap system isn't really necessary there I agree. On some maps this head-on combat works (Great Pursuit) but I don't feel it on Apennines. Maybe also caused by the terrain which is fairly boring.

| Please remove the pushmap-cage from the last flag on Gela. It crashed the map today, we had to switch map and lost 30% of the players due to that.
Please teamlock axis tanks on Gela. It sucks when allies take them and use them against axis team.

| Hmm I couldn't find a ssm for Gela, maybe MrJ removed it already. But I haven't seen him in a while.
A lot of the Axis tanks are spawned when Allies take a flag, teamlocking these vehicles is not possible in BF1942.
Battle of the Bulge
Major overhaul, I'm trying to shift away from the "World of Tanks"-feeling a bit and get back the "Battlefield/Teamplay"-feeling so I reduced the amount of tanks a lot. In return I added APCs and more infantry kits. Just a first quick test, it probably needs more fine-tuning.

| Nice work on the Kikusui day 2 changes!
Ocean Town -
As discussed in this thread the team lock on all PT boats ("Torpedoboot" template) should be removed due to dynamic changes on flag control points and the necessity to have something to combat the enemy destroyer.
By the way, thanks for putting this map up on the server ^^

| Alpenfestung: Is it possible to move the 20.3 cm Haubitze 503/5® battery to the airfield? Because this battery stands at flag 3 and spawn when flag 2 is captured. Then it is to late to use the gun. The distance between the gun and flag 2 is to short for this gun. There are a lot of weapons on this map that you can not use because they spawn to late and one of them is this one. So i think it is bether to move this battery to the airfield, somewhere at the east side of the airfield, and that you can used it since the start of the game or when flag 2 is captured.
I think it is also bether to give each German gun on the side of the flag (the guns in the hils) a spawnplace that you can choose. Because when you want to spawn at the side of the map, it is a random spawn. Therefore in think it is bether that you can choose wich gun you want to take. Example: i want a Pak 42 and i need it fast because the Americans are moving with heavy shit. But i spawn at the Panzer IV ausf F gun. So i need to walk from that terrible gun to my Pak 42 and lose a lot of time. Sometimes is to late.

Good idea! I completely support that.

A good improvement for the random spawns. Also, I suggest to remove some of the useless spawns (like the mortar battery in the trench that cannot hit any target).

| I will move the artillery battery when I find some time. The spawn thing is a bit trickier though because there's only a fixed amount of unique spawn points available.
