I would like to hear your thoughts on this Operation Campaign. Because when it comes to me, I see that 90% of the time the match ends on Cape Helles or Foa Fortress. In my opinion these two operations seem to be a bit unbalanced and the defenders have a massive advantage. Esspecially Cape Helles is duckshooting for the defenders in the first phase. The attackers have no cover here, fight downhill, have to capture high grounds they can’t even climb up without sliding down again 4 times. There are 2 ways into each capture point, which can be easily guarded by the defenders and also they get the fortress towers behind the posts, from which snipers have perfect few on both capture points…
Well, at least those parts of Cape Helles is pretty historicly accurate. Fao not so much.
The first sector of Cape Helles I usually find OK so long as the pilots are hammering the defenders on the points but I totally agree that it can be incredibly difficult for the attackers without this support (I’ll also prioritise spotted medics when I’m flying on this map). There have been some utter massacres of attackers on Fao Fortress recently though with the last few games I’ve played there seeing the attackers not even able to get to the fortress stage.
I mean people preach histroical accuracy but on the same coin complain about imbalance in modes like operations
Thonks
(Not directed at the op).
Just through and hope your team is like minded. Operations are made or broken on a teams ability to actually play the gamemode not the maps themselves in
The first sector of Cape Helles isn’t to bad (lots of smoke), but some teams have a lot of trouble with the first sector of Fao Fortress, that cliff face over looking the A flag just suck all the PTFO out of team sometimes, yes a few players providing support from there helps with attacking the B flag but does 3/4 of the team need to be up their? Next thing they know the defenders are pushing them off the cliff and the attackers are stuck.
Helles is basically the inverse of peronne sector. Peronne goes to attackers 9 times out of 10 and Helles goes to defenders 9 times out of 10. If you’re stuck attacking on Helles: play a medic. Plenty of opportunity to heal and revive.
Fao/Suez/Sinai seems to go one way or another. Either you roll through the maps without any resistance, or you lose a battalion on every point. Good map for farming bad snipers though…
The key to capping the flags on Fao Fortress is tank support most players won’t run antitank setups on defense and will instead run scout or possibly support. A lone assault tank can cap flags with the artillery pigeon.
Well, there is clearly a difference between visual/cosmetic immersion and gameplay realism. Because otherwise if one says “Well you have health regenerating powers, so no level of any historical accuracy has the right to be there anymore” than we don’t need Battlefield V to be a triple A WW2 game, as we can call Star Wars Battlefront WW2 themed, I mean after all, the gameplay isn’t realistic, so the setting doesn’t need to be, right? So in Battlefield 1 you have the ability to carry unlimited ammo when you play the support class, but that doesn’t mean it would be fine if the soldiers pulled out Laser-Weaponary or AK-47 Rifles.
When it comes to the historical accuracy of the scenario, it represents the slaughterfest this Battle was, but games need to be balanced.
(This was not meant to offend or insult you or anyone who does not care about historical accuracy in therms of visuals, but I hope it helps to understand the problem ppl have with things like women in BFV, even tho I’m don’t think women are a problem to be that much of a drama)
On the second part I 100% agree, a strong attack team will win, if they coordinate their attacks. But the attackers always need to be way better than the defenders to win. If both teams are equally skilled the attackers will always lose (we’re talking about the perfect scenario here, which does not exsist, but attackers have it generally harder than defenders in Operations)
Uff that was a long one, if you take the time to read through all of this, you’re really a patient person @crabman169
