Ummmmm

He's also making it cheaper by about 20secs worth of fuel income, thus making it a buff instead of a nerf.

Never use Mobile Defense, absolutely useless doctrine.

How do 3v3 players feel about fuel, cutoff, and VP locations?

4v4 = All fights are for the fuel, fuels are usually center line located.

2v2 = Usually have a safe fuel but maybe a strong fuel cutoff.

Having fuels in the center forces players to fight there immediately. Having a safe fuel lets players focus on combat and flanking.

Each mode seems to have its own style. Just trying to nail down what 3v3 players prefer.

Essen: Decent idea but cutoffs are too safe and fuels are exactly between teams.
General Mud: Well made
Steppes: No real cutoff play because fuels are between the teams and the fuel south/VPs north split is annoying.
Lienne: Awful
La Gleize: Best fuel/cutoff play by far.
Ettelbruck: Extremely safe fuels which is bad.
Angermuende: Fuels are way too safe and the cutoffs are so far away from your base that you either commit your whole force to take them or you don't touch them. Way too hard to harrass.
Red Ball: Fuel points between teams = 0 cutoff play and just bash your head against the wall.
Across the Rhine: Good positions, wish there was more cutoff play. I'd personally replace the muni points with regular cutoff points.
Oka River: Weird map in general
Whiteball: Very hard to get cutoff play and the fuels are between the teams so all the action is there.
Hamburg: Again, if you focus the whole game on a single point you can't have cutoff play.
Hill 400: Lots of cutoff play which makes the map better than it really is.
Rzhev: Very safe fuel but excellent cutoff positions which allow for either hard attacks on fuel or medium difficulty attacks on cutoffs.

This is not the case for 3v3, because
1) You cant split your defences effectively across whole front line.
2) You cant close and sent reinforcements fast enouth to fight flanks.

Huh? My experience with 3v3 does not show anything like that. It’s just harder to do because there’s more space, so it forces people to manage their army and positioning better.

Rzhev is bae. My fav 3v3 map. Never had a bad game there in 2019/2020.

But many 3v3 players tend to actually like larger maps that are 4v4 sized. The game is slower paced and more about flanking than high intensity spearhead.

That's because you can play coh2 there instead of smashing your entire army into a single point for 40 mins.
