Panssarikolonna 1,086 Report post Posted July 13, 2020 ...especially for defending team and particularly this map: Enemy spawn was too close and they spawn camped us within 1 minute after the battle started. They just rolled top on the hill with Leo 2A4's and shot us. It's even worse than other version of this map aka mirror image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josephs_Piano 7,044 Report post Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) 3 WW is great Fast, exciting - just a shame it wasn't 24 hrs a day and half the sessions are while I have to sleep, while 1/2 the other half are while I'm at work!

Kanyiko 8,568 Report post Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) One thing I would suggest for a future WWM is that in this type of mission, not only the spawn of the convoy defenders moves along - but also that of the convoy interceptors. In 'convoy intercept' missions - especially the ones where the defenders have air support at their disposal - I found that the intercepting team suffers hugely from being killed at the spawn. In my own experience, I played a couple of these and rarely did I even have the time to move off the spawn before I was sent back to the hangar by a CAS MiG-17/Fiat G.91R, or by a T-80 or Leo 2A4 hidden in the undergrowth with thermals at their disposal...

Josephs_Piano 7,044 Report post Posted July 15, 2020 I never had that problem attacking a convoy - so in my experience it is a limited issue - but if a commander CAN manage to arrange enough airpower to support a convoy then I don't have a problem with that - in other cases every convoy without airpower is a complete massacre of the convoy unless there's a massive imbalance in numbers in favour of the convoy. In some of them I was able to rack up the 10(20) kill requirement for a star in a single game with a single vehicle, it was that easy. I would look for convoy games as a preference they ere so easy. So no - I can see the issue, but it is not actually a problem IMO - something that enables convoys to rarely manage to survive is not unbalancing.

JimmyHat57971 37 Report post Posted July 17, 2020 The whole game mode is a disaster, not just the convoy missions. Each match is the same, tanks vs tanks. Planes move too fast that you cannot shoot them and they are ALL fighter-bombers. You don't get different air groups like we did in early WWM's, maybe you would send some fighters to escort your bomber groups? In this WWM every plane is both a fighter and a bomber. Of course I've only been playing the game for 3 years, so I don't have any of these high tier vehicles, nor do I really want them. I'm just glad they are giving away useless vehicles this season instead of something cool like the BA-11. However I am getting very concerned about the number of premium vehicles in this game. I feel really bad for new players who have /so many/ vehicles they will never be able to get. Sure wish I could get a FW189. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panssarikolonna 1,086 Report post Posted July 17, 2020 I have seen ONLY 1 victory so far for convoy. That's only because we spawn camped enemy team and we had lot more MBT's than they and there was NO planes involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce_R1 2,118 Report post Posted July 17, 2020 The attacker spawn points for this mode did seem a little close given the faster speeds and more accurate long-range shooting of the ground vehicles here. WW2 land convoys in the last World War mode worked better. I don't know that they needed to move the spawn so much as have the attacker spawn a little farther away. The spawn points for this mode on the Eastern Europe map still seemed pretty good/well placed this time, so it wasn't all of them, but there was also a river and a town in between them in that case, making it harder for the convoy defenders for everybody to zerg rush the attacking spawn, as opposed to finding a good position and playing a mobile D.
