I am a fan of Crossroads, but this giant mound has to go FFS. How is this even a thing?

At first glance there seemed to be some imbalance around the wooden VP buildings. However, they are very close in design. The main difference being the large log piles (RED) utility vs the sight blocking bushes (RED).
- The EAST VP logs may give you safer LV retreat options mid game.
- The WEST VP bushes may be easier to get close to an MG and toss a grenade or even flame it thru the hedgerow.
- The EAST VP house has additional green cover hay mounds outside of it allowing for another flanking option.
- The WEST VP has arguably better yellow cover.



There is a slight imbalance with the wooden houses over looking the fuels. Again, nothing major and may not warrant any change.
- The EAST FUEL has much closer sight blockers giving an approaching squad a better chance of getting into grenade range before an MG could target them. And sight blockers 2 and 3 are on the corner of the building which would require an MG to change position to target an approaching squad.
- The distances to these buildings from each base is close (approx 212M), however, the SOUTH team must venture closer to the EAST VP building to get to their house. Bypassing the house sight radius puts the EAST house much further away. So mid game an MG in the EAST VP house would make the EAST fuel harder to contest and also have a slightly more dangerous RETREAT PATH. You could be closer to the house and on RED cover for a longer period of time.

There need to be a few breaks in the fences outside the north west base. When getting pushed it is very hard to get to the building without getting wiped in the process. May help low rank players a bit when they panic click the building and their units run straight into the enemy instead.

OPTIONAL:
The little house (blue) shows as a sight blocker which is the opposite of what you want here. It should be on the backside of the house. Or even better, remove it and put trees (yellow, sight blockers) on backside of the house. This would limit its effectiveness and allow flanks on either side.

Good map design would say that all structures would be sight blocked on the side closest to their spawns. So you can fight out of your base, and NOT be pinned in your base.

Should require some sight blockers on the mirroring south side buildings for balance.

The far southern(left) passage (below left VP) needs to be opened up. Some vehicles can get thru. Some can not. It almost seems random when vehicles will choose to go that way.

Remove the debri piles and/or move the tree/groves. I would move the groves back personally.

Or instead, units cannot target units that are behind a larger unit. That way MGs cannot shoot “through” a tank or AT guns targeting a tank that is behind another tank. This would open up lots of options for combined arms tank play and the use of rifle grenades, mortars and other forms of light indirect fire to counter it by targeting units behind taller units.

Depending on how Relic calculates vision, having different height vehicles may be troublesome to code. However, they already have sight blockers. Having TANKS be "MOVING SIGHT BLOCKERS" may be very simple to code. They already have the code. Copy-Pasta and they are done.

This would be very interesting to play in 4v4. It would nearly nullify MGs/bunker spam. Historians may argue you could shoot between the tracks etc. So I guess the green cover mechanic is more historically accurate?

You could also then push garbage vehicles in front to break through lines and protect your expensive vehicles.
