The new SMDM has two issues:
- Town and brecourt manor are too closed off, but that's apparently going to be rectified in the future.
- The east side of the map strongpoints' are a bit worse than the central and western ones.
Otherwise I find it vastly superior to the old SMDM and it's a hill that I'm willing to die on.
Old SMDM had some atrocious strong points (Town Outskirts, Fields, Sunken Lane, Crossroads, Graveyard), the skewed layout caused a lot of problems. It was visually uninspired map filled with dated assets with the same rectangular field copy pasted multiple times.
It was quite fun for tanks, I will admit as much, but for infantry it was a pain a lot of times.
Areas will be reopened and Brecourt as well. The moment the update launched, 3 maps were made and added, meaning a lower amount of available time to polish all the individual gardens. But, no worries! Its known and will have a fix!
