Al Basrah v0.5 is better than Basrah v0.6

A high central tower perhaps? Atm, when I do defense duty, we often only have a couple of people there. If we're lucky, one or two warriors, and then one or more people on foot. With so little people, it can be damn hard to secure a full 360° perimeter.

The VCP is easy to defend, the major problem is that no one want's to stay and defend it

And since it is easy to defend, once insurgents get it, it is hard to take back


But 0.6 is way much better than 0.5

0.5 was only fun for the american's, the insurgents got raped by cobras, a10, tank's etc...
The RPG was crap on 0.5

Now on 0.6 the insurgent's can fight back, the RPG realy kill's, a good RPG squad with one white techinical can take almost every IFV out of the map

The major problem is that no one want's to defend, only that, but that is not the map fault

That's true, but who do you think the enemy is right now? It sure as hell isn't the Brazilians or the Japanese. It is the gun totting insurgents, terrorist, Iraqis, Taliban, and Al Qaeda who mainly carry the AK47 or AK varient.

Those movies are based off of something and that something is fact.

Yeh they do actually attack control points but they dont capture them it'd be an ambush and fall back if anything and its pretty much plain land around the vcp so its not really ideal for an insurgent ambush. Only problem i see with makin the vcp uncappable is insurgents wont bother attacking it.. but at least the fighting will be more focused within the city.

I think the reason why they are never captured in real life is cos they are always heavily defended, like they should be ingame

Never played Al basrah 0.5, but it sounds like it would be if 3 challengers were put into helmand.

Well, wasn't always that bad, you'd just had to get USMC organized.

people are just to use to US dominated games where the US has everything and pwns the rest. .6 is sooooo much better , its all about the inf , no rape in 2x cobras , no rape with A-10s and tanks and APCs. its just inf vs inf , fighting in compounds and city's , searching for stuff as a squad. not 1 guy in a A-10 with 50 kills.

Tears...

How come I enjoyed playing this map on both sides? Sometimes it's just more of a challenge to fight against something that should be more powerful.

Not a bad idea. Although a new static would have to be made... if so make sure it's destroyable if 6 IEDs hit it. (IE it collapses in half)
