    @eye: I agree. No offense, marduk... shy

    Concerning Battle of Britain, I think the spawnpoint jeeps/APCs should be removed. Because the Brits have such an advantage (OP Spitfire), it would be fair to give the Germans a bit of a head start. Also, when the radio tower/AA emplacements are destroyed the Brits get less options of where to spawn. So if the Germans are having a tough time dealing with Brit fighter (like they always do), bombing the actual objectives will help them a bit. However, all this is nullified if the Brits can constantly spawn right next to their beloved Spitfires/Hurricanes. 
    There is one spawn-APC at Brit main and one spawn-jeep at each airfield, so far as I know.

    I like that idea, it's always a nice teamplay aspect when 3 or 4 guys are forced to drive together from the factory to the airfield.

    I also did some changes on Bulge in favor of Allies (not saying it's 100% balanced yet) and added the Elephant to Berlin Outskirts. There are mine kits on Bulge (at church and north outpost) btw, don't underestimate those.

    I discovered that on Naichi, after one of the "3" flags is capped four Tigers spawn at H1. This causes me to CTD and after I rejoin, I get a tremendous FPS drop if I look in their direction. Keep in mind this is when using S&T, so it probably isn't a problem for most players. Could you try reducing it to just one or two Tigers and see if that helps?

    Please first try to see if it's caused by the S&T Pack before we do balance changes.

    Invasion of the Philippines: Please remove the Japanese planes that keep respawning when Allies took all flags. Because of the respawning planes the map is endlessly prolonged but only one or two players are busy in that time and the rest will get bored and start to disconnect from the server.

    Generally (on all Pacific maps with U.S. tanks): Please equip the Japanese antitank-troops more with anti-tank mines or put more kits with antitank mines on the maps. All the existing Japanese antitank kits are too weak and it is just a pain to attack the enemy tanks with them.

    Done. It's actually intended by the devs/map maker that the planes disappear after the US takes the last flag but because of two small errors it doesn't happen.

    Any map in particular? Adding kits is a bit of a pain. And I mean it's supposed to be hard for the Japanese to take out a tank because that's how it was in reallife.

    I agree, it is supposed to be hard. But the problem is, when U.S. rush with at least two sherman tanks at once the Japanese are hardly able to defend a flag or built up a defence line. I was thinking about Battle of Angaur and Invasion of the Philippines. Maybe just set one or two more of the machine gun with antitank mines kits around the Japanese flags?!

    One SU-152 on A Day of Zitadelle is unenterable. That's probably because of GER_SU152x2_Spawner assigned to German team.

    And the same problem with FT17's on Omaha: they are for some reason assigned to the Allied team, but spawn on last German flag.

    Marduk: "Suggestion: Increase the spawn-time of all ships on Midway to 3-5 mins. At the moment they respawn so quick that it is just a Sisyphean challenge to fight them."

    Please check if the times are still longer. The submarines for instance respawn immediately. Still, the ships respawn so fast that a tactical gameplay is not possible. You can not sink the ships and attack the island afterwards because the ships already have respawned...

    I checked again and what I said before is still true.

    Quote Endless_Nameless ()
    Respawn time of battleships and carriers is already 5 to 6 minutes, cruisers and destroyers ~3 minutes.


    Subs respawn a lot faster yes, but they don't really have a big impact on the battle for the island.

    can oyu make tunis more attractive please ? 
    replace these pak 38 with some unique guns, or the 120mm mortar with something useful

    Give the allies MORE attractive tanks 

    or maybe you can fix the flag bug at german base, its not supposed to be a main base

    Seelow Heigthts: Flag 3: Approximately every 2nd or every 3rd time the map is played one ally player flies so low over flag 3 that he dies and the plane keeps sticking at the virtual cage around the flag.
    My suggestion to fix this problem and give the map a little change: move a flag into the factory area north of the present flag 3. Set the flag at a point where planes can not fly so deep that it causes the bug described above.

    Ocean Town:
    - The ticket bleed is pretty strong on this one. There are 5 flags; if one team holds at least 3 of them the other team suffers.
    Would it be possible to reduce the bleed and/or increase the amount of tickets? Maybe so that a game takes at least 35 minutes and is not decided after 15 minutes.
    - The Torpedo_Boot spawn template should spawn twice not once. That would be better to counter enemy ships
    - The Sanitaeterkit template should also spawn twice. It's an useful kit on this map because of the parachute

    Prokhorovka:
    - It seems kinda strange that Axis AA guns on the last flag can't be used by Allies and vice versa, while AT guns can.

    Next issue is not exactly SSM, but it is connected to server settings, so I think this is the appropriate thread for it:
    - TK punish seems to be buggy. Doing a TK while being a vehicle might result in kill of yourself by the server, so vehicle is left abandoned, and chance of this seems to be  random. Although it happens not really often, but it enables enemy to capture abandoned equipment (like Jagdtiger on Remagen, Mosquito will bear me out). And besides, there is already a punishment for TK in form of increased spawn time for teamkiller and autokick after several TKs. I understand, that health discrease after hitting friendly player is supposed to warn player and prevent TK, but sometimes it just work wrong.

    In BFSM it is called "friendly fire kickback" and "kickback on splash". The first one is for direct hits, the second one is for splash damage (to friendlies). Even if they were set to only 1% if you do a large amount of damage, e.g. a hit from a large cannon, it means that you will lose >100% of your health at once and die. This thing is not even meant to warn you of an impending TK, or it doesn't work properly. If you do a little damage sometimes you don't even get any warning or see your health go down. In my opinion both should be set to 0%.

    There is an unrelated setting called "Enable TK forgive mode" which is currently disabled. It means that by default, a TK is "punished", unless the victim opens console and types "ftk" or "forgive". If that doesn't happen the punishment is 1. a long spawn time (this is another setting) and 2. if you make a certain number of TKs without being forgiven you get kicked. Combined with the "sudden death" effect from friendly fire kickback it means that sometimes it is impossible to avoid the long spawn time, which makes things even worse (e.g. your tank stays abandoned for longer and the enemy has more time to take it; or your ship stays abandoned long enough for the enemy to sink it before you can even respawn).

    So I also propose that TK forgive mode be enabled. Then you would not get a long spawn time unless the victim of a TK opens console and types "ptk" or "punish". Then the punishment can be as harsh as you want.

    Good suggestion, I'll remove the FF and splash kickback.

    But TK forgive mode stays disabled, it's extremely rare that one gets kicked because of it (requires 10 tks). The slightly longer respawn time is the perfect punishment for not checking the minimap.

    @Xenanab, marduk: Hopefully I have some time on the weekend to do this. sad
