| Quote marduk (  ) @E-3: A clear 'No'!
Check stats and you know why - Axis has won 32 of 34 listed rounds! No point in making an imbalanced map even more imbalanced.
Keeping the map the way it is now is fine by me I guess more glory days for cleaner then

| current issues with Alaska 1948 too many objects spawning into main base. I believe this was causing my computer to keep disconnecting from the server. however I believe the allies need those heavy tanks in order to counter the is4 so the only solution is to remove some light tanks there is currently a open top tank named M8A1GMC_Bag this only has a 75 mm gun my testing so far I have found that it was absolutely useless against a is4 even when I'm firing at the back end of the tank it does almost no damage. There is also a apc in main base that I believe nobody is using but maybe I'm wrong. I still need 1 more thing to remove.
I was thinking about 1 T20E3 with the 76 mm.
for the amx50 I set the MinSpawn Delay to 80 Max spawn delay to 120 it has the same spawn delay as t95 that also counter spawns when the Russians have every flag, which was in the map default settings.

| As an example, the Japanese community has this decent process for making SSMs:
there are known issues (e.g. from stats) or someone complains about an issue;
someone creates a SSM file and publishes it (usually in both forum and Discord), along with a summary of changes;
then someone invites people (in the Discord chat) for a stability/functionality test in multiplayer and starts a server with it (not the main server);
if it doesn't fail (crash or not work as intended) they put it on the main server and play with it at some point and see how it goes.
(repeat process if needed)
A proposal/discussion phase before SSM creation is good, but not a must (it can be rejected after creation).
About Alaska:
Stats indeed say the blue team (US) wins 2 of 3 games (you can see some people care a lot about that), despite being massacred more, and pushed more - it's just map design. So if you want to change that balance (e.g. if the massacre of blue team is considered a problem), please propose/make it together with a change in the ticket bleed and/or flag values (for others this may still not be a good compromise - I don't know). Other than that, I think that your ideas are okay.

airtroll I absolutely agree with you that we shouldn't do things on the main server. Problem is my only test server is on a Pentium D are you willing to run a test server with the file ? and test the actual settings for possible disconnect issues with me and other players, it would really be helpful if we were on TeamSpeak but I guess that is too much to ask.

| "Personally from my own findings, I find the map statistics to be kind of useless. When the server rotates to map with nobody playing it will count by default as a win for the US team. Then when you are playing with very few players which is already impossible on Alaska 1948 usually the US team wins because the Russians cannot control all flags with so few players but I see the power of is4 tank if the Russians get total control the US team is literally trapped into their main base because they cannot deal with that tank my personal belief is every tank should have a tank that counters it."
I agree there is downsides in using the stats, but it still is a better approach for jugdement than one or a couple of rounds. The outcome of a few rounds is very random. Stacked teams, pure luck and other factors can have a strong influence and makes a jugdement based on the outcome a very insecure thing ^^

Yes, I can run my server for tests when I'm available. We can arrange on Discord and the server will be up only for the test(s). Sorry I don't use TS, but I think chat should be enough.
Also you could ask Bubu or Radiosmersh to arrange so you can test things on a second FHSW server on the main machine, e.g. for times when I'm not available.

Yeah, or some other weapon. So I like your changes. I don't care too much about the ticket balance for this map, and I don't know exactly how it is or should be anyway (I just thought Marduk or someone else would insist on something about it).

| We played Alaska a few days ago (with what seems to be E-3's first SSM version mentioned), and here are some observations:
There were indeed still many disconnects and crashes (as before the SSM).
This older SSM in this thread seemed to be not included, since I saw that a B29 kit was in main.
Quote marduk ( ) Alaska
replaced B29 kit with 2 P51 kits, with 40 second respawn instead of 100 seconds
increased maxnumberspawn of T29 to 2
I couldn't find any railgun in allied main base, even after the other railgun had spawned... Is it just well hidden?

there is a railgun that spawns into main base but the respawn timer is 7 minutes so the chance of getting it is very slim, I happen to actually get it and then disconnect from the server and then it was gone. I didn't play the map many times online so I didn't know that there were that many disconnects issues with it, if it requires to remove more equipment from the map in order to get people not to disconnect then so be it. Because having a playable map is more important then equipment.

| Quote E-3 ( ) if it requires to remove more equipment from the map in order to get people not to disconnect then so be it.
I noticed on Adak Race that some kits with random weapons in them can sometimes cause mass disconnects when you spawn or pick them up, and it looks as if it happens when there is a discrepancy between which of the possible weapons the server has picked at random, and which the client(s) have picked. RADIOSMERSH fixed that one in a SSM by replacing the kit. So I think it would be a good idea to look for kits (especially spawn, but also pick-up kits) and maybe vehicles with random components in them (like the Pz2 or 222 which both can spawn with autocannons of two different cyclic rates of fire, at random) and try replacing or removing these things first.
From your video it seems like the railgun kit caused a similar mass disconnect. I don't know if it has anything random in it, but I suggest trying without it (BTW it has already been nerfed via another SSM, and it had another bug of killing the shooter seemingly at random anyway).
Quote marduk ( ) Fht the breaking point

-make flag F7 (1), flag D6 (2), flag D5 (3) and D3/B5 flags (4) in push
The numbers on the minimap can't be changed via SSM, but removing the F4 flag would help at times when we don't have 40+ players.

| there is further work required on Alaska 1948. see video.
Because of disconnect issues in the main base when axis captured all flags. I am now looking into possible objects to remove to balance out the map and to prevent this damn disconnect issue from occurring.
I was thinking about a stationary morter position in the main base that I haven't seen used in any games at all it's an object that can be removed without serious consequences I think.
Second thing I'm going to try is spawning in the t95 in the start of the game because that is a very slow tank anyway so good luck trying to get that all the way from the back to the frontline. Then when allies lose every flag, letting 1 amx 50 spawn first and the second amx 50 after the first one has been taken by a player.

the rest as you suggested (D5 = 3, D3/B5 = 4, B2 = 5).
Point is the defensive positions are not equipped very well to withstand the full attack of all the Axis equipment at once. Therefore splitting the attacking force in 2, despite splitting the defensive force, improves the defensive capability, imo.

| Hi,
I think for "Battle of Gela", flag beach could be Flag 0 (unrecap), flags 1, recappable; flags 2 only church and town, flag 3 mortar base, and axis main flag 4, in order to make it moree dynamic after being it overplayed. Also adding some light axis AA and/or unlock allies AA for axis. It is just a suggestion.
