The time limit. On Fortress, every single mode I’ve won as a defender and lost as an attacker has been a draw because of the time limit. It’s way to short for that many lives. By the time the timer has ran up, there’s usually 80 lives still remaining. As someone who’s trying to get the dog tag for Fortress wins, this is impossible.

I’m sure other people can agree that something needs to change as well.

They probably figured they were too OP. I would say it’s cuz you have an entire team condensed into one obj but it’s the same thing in Grand Operations and there’s planes

Yeah, I got a lot of feedback about the bombers, and eventually decided to take them out.

They took away the planes from Hamada for some reason. I was easily getting 30 kills with the JU88 back when the mode launched.

Talked to a lot of cool people here, wrote a lot about what I wanted to do with Fortress as well, if you're interested. :)

Some very talented people (not me) are looking into this as we speak.

I can’t find your comments specifically about what you wanted to do. Can you explain for me?

Well, what I was referring to was basically, I want Fortress to be kind of a castle siege fantasy, and therefore everything that I've done has in some way been to reinforce that.

I mostly added the planes for the atmosphere they bring, thinking that the 3 AA guns on the defenders side, would make the fight quite even in the air. It didn't really work out like that though, and they instead caused quite a bit of problem with how they quickly destroyed all the cover on the A flag - and since plane combat wasn't the primary goal of Fortress, I decided to take the sure before the unsure and remove them.

The planes do bring a nice atmosphere, I do agree. But I also agree with that the planes destroy almost all cover way to quickly and cause a mass of chaos amongst the defenders. The right loadout and you could take out the entire team in one sweep if they’re all on the obj.

I don’t remember though, did the Germans get a plane too?

The attackers had two planes with really long respawn times, where the defenders had just one, but also had 3 or 4 AA guns (two of which were in their own separated combat area).

I wanted the attackers to get "reinforced by the airforce", if you get what I mean, but then that the defenders had a pretty likely chance to get rid of the attacker planes if they wanted.

But yeah, cover and bombers. Not a good mix!
