Just my opinion. Do they even have planes.? Cant see any slots. Al Marj look like a narrow cluster map where one team losses all but one flag. Provence looks interesting. Cant judge the size. Seems a little like Arras. ---

> [@IIMechatronikII](#): > > @SirBobdk > Maybe they fixed SAA, MAA or FF. Many times they made big changes and they didn’t mention about that in Patch Notes. Hope so. But Its also ok if we get it later. Most importent is that they get it right and not just use the sledge hammer again and turn the balance in the wrong way once more making it no fun for infantry players. Both air and ground should find it fun and balanced. ---

Cant judge the size. Seems a little like Arras. But the buildings can’t be destroyed as much, and the town has fewer entrances on main bridges that are easier to defend. ---

> [@SirBobdk](#): > > Do they even have planes.? Cant see any slots. > Al Marj look like a narrow cluster map where one team losses all but one flag. > Provence looks interesting. Cant judge the size. Seems a little like Arras. I might be wrong but: -Al Marj Encampment is small clusterf.. map without vehicles. Maybe some transport like in Marite. It’s also linear map, so in my opinion this map will be unbalanced - Provence is average size map. I’m surprised that they add 4 tanks (per side?) on this map. This map will not get planes. Again pretty lazy move from DICE ---

It’s cool they add iconic fighters Could be cool if we could actualy fly them … If no AA / fliegerfaust nerf vs fighters comes with this patch, it will be bomber paradise … ---

@Terminator000001 @ElliotLH So will I. Fighters have been my favorite class and I would guess I can still do good even after the buff of AA, Have not tried it, since I got the chance of using the Stuka and Mosquito without having to worrie about fighters. It has been a nice change, but when I get tired I will return to fighters. ---

Can’t complain I guess. 2 new maps and 6 more guns is nice. I’m glad Provence is becoming 64 players. Although the outer areas I’m pretty sure are just open fields with a couple of houses, like Twisted Steel. I’ll stick to the village area similar to Sinai Desert. Any of these guns interesting? ---

I saw you mention that you’ve been using those recently so I’m glad you’re having fun with them. I’m sure that you’ll do well when you do come back to the fighters as well man. \*Edit: Thinking about it I wonder how this will affect the maps where it’s still UK vs GER? ---

I haven´t played much in general the last few weeks. But I can´t give up what I love. And that are planes and the act of flying. 🦆 I just wish bombers were never introduced in Battlefield. They were a mistake. I already said that, when people were crying for that since BF3. If Dice would´ve actually listened for once, then maybe we wouldn´t be here, where we´re now. We can at least hope that Dice won´t put bombers ever again in a Battlefield. ---

If Dice would´ve actually listened for once, then maybe we wouldn´t be here, where we´re now. We can at least hope that Dice won´t put bombers ever again in a Battlefield. To be honest I’ve not played much myself either unfortunately, just a few matches here and there but c’est la vie. I agree that bombers have caused a lot of issue but it’s obviously too late now to change that. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what they do with the next game, but I can see them including them again. ---

I saw on the YouTube reports that Twisted steel and panzerstorm are being repurposed for the Americans. Is this a map re imagining like time of day, weather etc or just throwing the brits off? Not sure how I feel about that Secondly why no content for the allies, where’s the typhoon fighter bomber or Focke-wulf 190 for axis ---
