| Thx @ Radio for the changes. looking forward to try that out! Unfortunatly in early war years there are very limited or no prototypes / secret weapons, so we have to go with it.
@ Marduk: did we anywhere talk about that flagg at north bridge Hm I can´t remeber. But never mind I have not really an oppinion about that. Maybe it pops up later if we played the map a few times ?!
Good thing to argue with so much arguments about this map thx

| Since El Alamein and Midway are heavily overplayed and do not attract many players to join the server anymore Bubu and me have decided to remove them from the rotation for some time. Inspired by the latest changes on Kharkow Winter I suggest to mod El Alamein and Midway in order to make them interesting again and then put them back in the rotation.
Here are the first ideas:
El Alamein Allies: East flag from the start Axis: South flag from the start
Additional flag in the North (at the buildings where it is on Op. Rattrap): -infantry strongpoint with all-round defense -secured with sandbags, so no tanks can take it -one stationary 88 mm gun (that also respawns when Allies take that flag), two stationary PAK (75 mm for Germans, 57 mm for Allies) -two MG-kits with mines -one 2 cm-/Bofors-Flak on the roof of the highest accessible buidling
Additional flag in the North (small village North of axis main) -same features as for the other new flag
-add sniper rifles to all three flags in the North
Axis/Allies main -add one spawn halftruck, one halftruck with mines and one ordinary halftruck instead of three tanks to each main base -spawn of the axis fighter by chance 50/50 with Veltro
-increase tickets -when Axis and Allies have two flags each both teams bleed so they are forced to take and hold three flags in order to win
Midway Axis: North and South flag from the start
-add tank landing ship (small Daihatsu w/ tanks) for Axis -add one halftruck for each flag on the island -AT-kits for Allies -increase the range of sight

| Hm the fact that they are played very often is correct... but overplayed ? In my opinion they are great starter maps to get a fightnight going with around 10 players.
Do not try to fix something that ain't broken!
If you are going to change the flag layout you must consider what that means for counterspawn vehicles. If axis on Midway start with the sea flags I think allies start with certain counterspawn vehicles right form the beginning. Rather make it so that all flags are grey from the start (normally allies have the whole island).
I don't like the idea of changing well working maps that way to be honest.

They are heavily overplayed (watch this if you do not believe me: https://fhsw-stats.xyz/selectbf/maps.php ) and have been played every day with only about 5 players on average lately. Even when set between 7 and 8 pm they do not have a big effect in getting more players on the server anymore. Sometimes player numbers even decrease. Believe me, this maps are spoiling our server. I got more players on the server with maps like Carentan the last weeks.
But with this initiative I try to change that! So please do not throw in all your concerns why NOT to change those maps but support me. There are always reasons not to do things, I know that. But this can not be the way. Roberts initiative for Kharkow Winter shows how it can work out constructively.

| I´m amazed from that idea ! I was talking about that in the thread from last mappack. But got no positive response there. Well it was a bit more work just then SSM. I pointed Prokhorovka for example. That map is so old and just because of that have so less objects on it. Why not pimp it up with some additional trenches, sandbag fortifications rockformations where to hide behind. And of course reactivate that flag south of russian base because battle often ends in circling the russians in their base. And the last: increase the range of sight and lift the fog of war a bit! The computer of today have so much more power then 10 years ago, so no problems will appear.
In terms of El Alamein I agree to Marduks suggestions 90%. One thing that bothers me is, if that one is SSMed, that all flags are on the opposite side of the mountains from axis side. What about that small village in the north off axis main? What about adding paratroopers (Yes I know, its not historicaly correct) What about change the spawn of the axis fighter by chance 50/50 with Veltro ?
Midway I´m OK with. Didin´t think about that map so far. But here too: lift the fog of war and increase the range of sight !!! (if possible with SSM of course).

| Quote Robert: "What about adding paratroopers?"
I disagree because we already got paratroopers on Desert Rose and Supercharge.
Quote Robert: "What about that small village in the north off axis main?"
I also had that idea but I did not bring it up yet. Now it is a call I suppose
So I add the following ideas:
El Alamein -spawn of the axis fighter by chance 50/50 with Veltro -additional flag in the North (small village North of axis main), (I suggest the same features as for the other new flag) -add sniper rifles to all three flags in the North -add one spawn halftruck and one halftruck with mines instead of two tanks to each main base
Midway -increase the range of sight

| I am afraid the K-winter ssm causes mass disconnections.
And E-3 you didnt read what I was writing: El Alamein and Midway are way too overplayed that they do not get many players on the server anymore. Some players will not join when those maps are running because they are just bored. Indeed they think we are stupid because we play them all the time!

If you're gonna do this, add the small Daihatsu w/ tanks, not the big Jap landing ship.
@marduk I heard from E-3 today that you removed some maps from the server rotation bc they're overplayed. Is that true? That seems a bit over-dramatic

Then we could make a vote "do you like SSM-ed version" or so...

Indeed they think we are stupid because we play them all the time! i know they are overplayed but really we don't have a lot small maps with air tanks and naval that are playable by 4 players i just wish fhsw had more maps that are great when you only have 4 players. and i really hope the fhsw deployment team make more small maps

Well, actually I´m not sure but if I remember right it is SSMed right now. In normal version there are 3 fighters in unfortunatly the Leopard is cut out which I find really stupid.
I support Marduks suggestion with 100%. We play those maps for sometimes more then a decade now! Get that !!! They are far not the state of the art now! I mean it could be very pleasant to drive an Oldtimer around sometimes, but daily for shopping, in the rushhour and for holidays? Take a look at Alpenfestung from FH1 and Alpenfestung FHSW and notice the difference! Be creative and let ideas explode We are not stupid at last aren´t we ?!

| Quote marduk ( ) I am afraid the K-winter ssm causes mass disconnections. As I told you yesterday in the chat, there were mass disconnects on that map before, for example. I'm sorry that I didn't respond to your question as I was distracted by the game and lost my line of thought. The point I was trying to make is that something might be wrong with the server. I've been experiencing more disconnects for the past 2 or 3 months than ever beforeand I think many players have been too, and I suppose that it might be connected to the server unavailibility in October, after which we were unable to restore full control over it.

Well I have had full control for a month by now..we can try to spend hour by looking around together for clues because I checked every possible location that could be a source of problems.

Yeah let's give it a try at least...we can always go back or keep two versions of the map lol :P
