The froggy was so over powered before that servers had modded it out. When that happens, you know you have a serious issue. Perhaps we over fixed it but as with anything in the mod, we are ALWAYS working to improve it. Balance is an overall picture and increasing ALL the other vehicles in the mod to be on par with the froggy was not the answer as it would have broken things even more. Short answer is that the froggy was broke, not working as we intended, and we attempted to fix the issue.

Our last release had a pure inf map in Risen but it had Crimea which was a mix of combined arms and then we also had Berezan which had ALL the toys as well as tons of aircraft. Lets not forget Odessa which provided a ground game in an urban environment but retained a massive amount of air power. I just do not see where you are coming from to be honest with reguards to the maps. Of course with our new new maps, most of them are urban from what has been seen in the news but that is not taking away from previous maps but rather filling the void of map types in the mod.

We always are grateful for feedback but I take exception to the map comments.

O great , so u r the one to blame
I love Odessa air warfare -by my opinion -ti is the most balanced air combat map in whole game. Island is also not bad, but bit advantage goes to Ukraine with their SA sometimes it makes impossible to fly for American pilots, and they do not have good ground attack plane. By my opinion F-18 have to carry bombs to match ground attack SU27, while F-22 ground attack plane is good counterpart to SU27.

I agree-SU25 was way too powerful but the same bomb drop rate u have with their previous lethality will make it twice less powerful isn't it? Not to mention that it needs way more skill just to hit a target now). Still for now SU25 is totally useless and has huge disadvantage against Eurofighter and big disadvantage against Tornado. By my opinion for Tornado u should either increase rocket hit probability or give him normal bombs and make it F-15 SU-30 analog of original BF2.(in this case it will be probably balanced with increased lethality SU25).

And the last point. SU25 was too powerful just because it was easy to use and good pilot without good counterpart was able to devastate enemy. But from the other hand good pilots from the other side always had AA advantage and with good team tactic Germany always had means to counter it. I mean it was always balanced as long as Germany just pointed some attention to AA warfare. See Tornado was able to easily take SU down at any time as well as Eurofighter.

In original BF both DC and BF2 plane r also very powerful gear, but nobody complaints as long as they can match each other and ground defence. So may be u should stick to the policy of matching planes lethality and ground AA defence. Bad pilots were not able to do anything with old Frogie ( actually Russians call it blackbird - Gratch ).
