ANOTHER BASRAH CRY!

[agentscar]

I know you've heard this various times,but the Community is asking me...Well,one thing I notice,is including me and nearly all other people I've played with in the PR community (lots) want our v0.5 Al Basrah back...But in a certain way.All we want is in .7 for the WAH-64 Apache Longbow to be put back in basrah,the Challenger II put in,and for the ticket amount to be switched around British have 600 starting tickets and Insurgents 300.Insurgents are underestimated I feel,the Warrior is easy to take out,just two RPG-7 hits.LOL.And that's all the brits. have over the Insurgents really.I try getting a pal in the Merlin to use an M249 SAW as a gunner,and he either gets shot out,a truck will take us down with it's PKM,or we'll be shot down by someone with an SA-7...Sometimes we suceed at that though.All Insurgents have to do to win is take VCP and boom,ticket bleed.Weapon Caches are hard to find,so that's not always a solution to win,so brits. have to hold a VCP and search for weapons caches,while Insurgents defend caches (rarely due to they aren't hardley found) or take VCP.If in v0.7 the Challenger IIand WAH-64 Apache Longbow are put in,we'll be happy.You all remember the advantage USMC had on Insurgents in v0.5 but the insurgents almost always won...Will any British Jets be seen anytime soon?

Nah no attack helos on this map ... the map is very balanced at the moment. And on my server the brits won very often!

I wouldn't call it very balanced at the moment.

the problem with basrah at the moment is that 80% of the time all you get is not the insurgancy game mode, but you have a "King of the Hill" game mode cos 90% of the insurgants dont want to defend the ammo dumps, in the same way the brits dont want to defend the VCP, so what you get is all of the insugants over running the VCP, even if it has afew defenders its not often you have enough to hold it, and if you do it just proves its still king of the hill as the insurgants never give up cos its really the only way the insrugants can win.

Only ever so often do you find over 50% of the insrugants and brits defending/attacking the ammo dumps, which then it turns into a good mode, if you ignore whats happening at VCP

When we have the CR2 fully ingame we will probaly but 1 in basrah with a long respawn time, but for the apache dont think it will return to basrah to be honest.

The problem is that noone wants to play it as it should be played, and the insurgents don't have any other way of winning than capping the VCP.

Maybe less tickets for Brits?

less tickets for the brits and the only way the insurgants should be able to win IMO is from killing all the brits off, or to defend the ammo dumps until the timer runs out

Agreed, but a four hour timer is a bit much then. The insurgents can't kill off all the Brits - well, maybe, but it'll be very tough and I've never seen it - so they want to be kings of the hill and play Star Wars music, so they head to VCP to win.


And: w00t w00t Challenger II

How about removing -3 intel points, if Insurgents kill an Officer (squad leader/commander?

Insurgency usually lasts long, but when a huge massacre breaks out, British get tons of intel in no time, and since everyone now knows, that they aren't allowed to kill civilians (and no one uses civilian class on Basrah for some reason, and if they do, they go to VCP to get shot or knifed)

Agreed.

I'd make the tickets a little higher for both sides, and shorten the timer say to 45 minutes or an hour.

The idea would be that the British can force a victory within that time by destroying all the caches, and that the insurgents win not by killing off every Brit, but by forcing the Brits to hold off for long enough that they retain some of the dumps.

IRL, conventional forces don't throw endless forces at problems until they've lost 300 people in one town...

Yeah, a shorter round time for Insurgency mode would be nice
