Yes two versions! One vanilla and one quality pimped version in a mappack maybe 
Well I can only do suggestions. As mentioned before: I´m a noob in coding, developing etc 
So any other genius have to do the work  Added (2018-01-08, 11:20 PM)

Quote bubu ( ) 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.
Regarding disconnects, that's just my speculation, that's why I stated I have no solid evidence except my own observations. We can revert Kharkov Winter to its original state and see if it makes any difference (can't do that myself, unfortunately, as BF1942 server process puts locks on map files while running, thus someone need to stop it and remove SSM files manually).

| After all those are all ideas for El Alamein and Midway:
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
@Radio: Is it possible to do all this with SSM? or
@all: do you want to add more changes (also things that can not be done by SSM) and put those the modded versions in a new mappack ("El Alamein Day 2", "Midway Day 2")?
I suggest to put the vanilla versions back into the rotation when we have found a solution here.

| Quote marduk ( ) -spawn of the axis fighter by chance 50/50 with Veltro
Actually, it's not possible to spawn different vehicles with random chance, but what I can do is to tie the spawn of Veltro to one of the flags, like if Allies hold eastern flag, for example, Germans get Veltro, otherwise BF109 spawns.Added (2018-01-14, 10:01 AM)
---------------------------------------------
Hmm, my message got deleted for some reason, I'll repeat it then:
Quote RADIOSMERSH ( ) @Radio: Is it possible to do all this with SSM? or
Midway - definitely possible, not sure about El Alamein though, as I have only 10 spare spawn templates I can use. It's rather a tight fit, but I'll try to do it.

Great, thank you. Just do as much as possible, post the things you did and then we do the next step.
Regarding the additional flags on El Alamein: if it is not possible to put those there I suggest the following:
-when Axis/Allies take North flag a halftruck with permanent spawn spawns at the buildings where the additional flag on Op. Rattrap is + additional equipment:
-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 sniper rifle
-one 2 cm-/Bofors-Flak on the roof of the highest accessible buidling
In this case I think it is better not to make the village North of Axis main another strongpoint because the spawning of another load of equipment there at the same time could cause trouble I reckon.
"what I can do is to tie the spawn of Veltro to one of the flags, like if Allies hold eastern flag, for example, Germans get Veltro, otherwise BF109 spawns."
Sounds good.

| Hey gang,
Long time since I've posted here. Nice to pop by every now and again.
First of all, a great big THANKS for all the continued dedication that you guys show for this great game. It's very appreciated 
Secondly, it was brought to my attention that Midway and El Al were taken out of rotation. I think that's a crime. These are great maps, and valuable as well: the former because of the presence of subs (a rarity in this game) and the later because of the classic desert combat aspect.
I'm more than happy to welcome new SSM's for these maps. The suggestions are great, really.
The question is, how long before they are back in rotation?
Thanks in advance

| As always, thanks for the contribution Radio !
I'd have a suggestion to make Operation Varsity more viable for our server polulation:
either:
- remove the Maus with Flammenwerfer
or:
- remove all (King-) Tigers
Advancing to the big building with the flag on top is a pain in the ass for allies because thy have almost nothing to beat heavy tanks. It's as always a total 1945 camp fest for axis.

| I strictly refuse to remove the maus or any other german heavys from that map. Sunday shows that it is absolut no obstacle for allies to capture the building. Not even that but they get a victory at all.
I get really sick about all time anyone want to remove german secret weapons or prototypes from maps because its too difficult for allies 
Leopard removed from El Ala, MAN with 75mm removed from Zitadelle and at the top anyone removed the Ferdinand, a regular Panzerjaeger that was historically proved there on duty.
And for comparison: there are 3 yes THREE Tortoise on Westwall and in addition all yes ALL as mobile spawnpoints. This is INSANE !!! And axis have no planes to counter on that map. and to top that the tickets run down like hell as allies get last flagg. Germans don´t have enough time that way to setup one or two proper counterattacks till they run out of tickets, damn thats so stupid ...
If u want to castrate FHSW then go ahaed, or switch to FH vanilla. I really cant follow ur mind and what goal u want to achieve with these actions ...

| Let only one Tortoise on Westwall, or add the German reinforcements after allieds taking flag 3, not 4. When they take 4 is almost always game over in less than 1 min, and so, that reinforcement is nearly pointless (besides flag 4 is an infantry flag)

Not to be offensive but I find this kind of amusing since it's an undeniable fact that most of the time you prefer to play on axis site on these kind of maps. So how exactly do you know how it is to fight against these sometimes really overpowered tanks? Sure, they are not invincible but still...
Let's take Berlin Outskits-1945 for instance. Do you know how absolutely aweful that Maus tank was on this fucking map? There is nothing more frustrating than going over that hill with a IS2 and getting oneshot by some campy fatass somewhere in the background that only dies if you hit it multiple times with high caliber canons because on this narrow map you can't for fuck sake make use of some kind of strategic flanking. Meanwhile it gets repaired all the time by a lovely Bergetiger. The best is that when you complain about this, guys who mostly play axis then tell you that you need to do teamplay in order to win. Laughable! As if axis would do any awesome teamplay to win this map. For them it's just camping.
This is what annoys me the most about lots of late war maps: They just don't feel like maps where stratigic teamplay is required at all for the defenders, which is a shame because on maps like Sector-318 or Kharkov Outskirts both teams have the possibility to make use of smart movement and not only brute force; they are more dynamic and exciting than any late war level in FHSW and show how actually fun and intriguing some matches can be. Personally you will often find me on allied team on late war maps because I prefer attacking more than just defending.
Last time playing axis on Eagles-Nest-46 was just akwardly boring, so me and Bubu decided to switch to the attacking team. That map just doesnt offer any possibility for axis to do a valiant counterattack or some sort. It is just boring camping somewhere in the back. Players who want to play these maps often switch to axis site after the game starts....
Nuenen is a Attacker vs. Defender map done right: Both teams must make use of scouting, communication and actual movement options the mapper provided for you. Axis get rewarded for not just sitting in the back but counterattacking and pushing allies back !
Experimental tanks and weapons of any kind no matter what team use them are completely okay as long as beforementioned balance of attacking - defending - counterattacking isn't damaged.
Concerning Op. Varsity:
To be fair allies indeed won this round on Varsity and I would admit not to remove everything axis have. But still the Maus is displayed on so many other maps and I hardly see what justifies its existence in this townfight while it appeares on so many other levels.
Now I would suggest to just replace it with something else.
OR:
Somehow replace these Tiger tanks.
Concerning Westwall:
Westwall last time was really weird. I must say I much more prefered the first version of this map where allies have to climb up way further to another flag. As I remember correctly allies have from the beginning 1 normal tortoise + 1 flame tortoise (and that's fucking okay. The flame tank cant kill any tiger from distance!).
But after flag 3 gets captured suddenly allies receive another pair of tortoise which I think is really too much. They serve as infantry spawn points aswell as the first pair of tortoises.
Concerning A day of Zitadelle:
Since when is the Ferdinand removed from axis spawn? Since update 0.61 ? I think the Japanese mappers did this change because on a few occasions my experience was that the map ends with an unbreakable front of heavy tanks that allies just couln't break at all. Actually this has never been the case on our server with our player numbers. So maybe switch the new panther spawner back to Ferdinand (as long as respawn time is adjusted to the old value).
