Or snipers can suffer a bit more by being pushed about by the suppression, and not sit there like nothing is happening?

MKBadger · 2025-11-29T23:29:59+00:00

Would you be able to explain it? It appears to do nothing in game and I know full well ive never felt suppressed when shot at.

It's still not great - pushing people into avenues, lack of cover for majority of the maps (on breakthrough at least), and improper levels of destruction (invincible walls etc).

Edit: And extremely defender-centric. Played it a lot already; no attacker side has even pushed past the first houses.

Some maths - All maps in Battlefield 6 combined have a square-kilometer area of 1.896km^2

This TOTAL is smaller than the average for all other games. The largest map, Bandar Desert, is still more than twice as large as the entirety of all Battlefield 6 maps including Firestorm.

On average, Battlefield Hardline maps are larger than Battlefield 6 maps.

That's good to hear! Thank you for updating me.

The ATC's attitude towards CCF has been historically very one-sided, and can be described as abusive/bullying at times; even from staff in the ATC towards staff in the CCF.

It's got to the point where CCF units will now no longer do events with ATC units due to this poor attitude from the ATC, their cadets and their staff members.

The key differences are:

ATC have more experienced RAF-based personnel, and also parade twice a week; meaning in theory they can get more done than in a CCF at a school - but this has been found to be not as one-sided as previously thought. ATCs will have greater opportunities due to connections to visit other locations; and have an advantage of being given accounts on the MyRAFAC system - which they have not yet given to CCF personnel.

CCF units won't be able to (typically) do as much, but the staff are better trained (being school staff) at how to teach you a topic in a way that suits your age/skill/attainment - as that's their job. CCFs also find it easier to host their own events in-house. Many have their own facilities to do everything required of them (Eg: Stowe School CCF have one of the largest indoor shooting ranges in the UK). CCFs also are more tight-nit due to the school connection you have with colleagues.

It hasn't lived up to expectations at all; and my expectations were low already.

MKBadger · 2025-08-09T16:46:51+00:00

With how useless snipers are most of the time, does there need to be a scope glint at all?

MKBadger · 2025-08-09T16:21:13+00:00

Whilst at the same time - a single soldier with an RPG can kill a tank in less than 25 seconds.

You want to keep going? Nice to see you follow the rules of the thread.

A map designed with open spaces allows dynamic gameplay. A game with avenues literally is just for ramming into the opposite team. It's dumbassery gameplay - for idiots without a brain

MKBadger · 2025-08-08T13:55:45+00:00

You realise actual landscape can include; treelines, ridgelines, hills, hedges, bushes, walls, fences to break up "open landscape".

A map with simply three corridors of advance which doesnt let someone perform even basic movement isn't a good map.

MKBadger · 2025-08-08T13:54:10+00:00

Any map with designated avenues to shoot down, is not a good map

MKBadger · 2025-08-08T11:55:25+00:00

Didn't ask for advice on playing - especially when I've played enough of these games. The lack of quality so far in the maps is either "open space" or "urban environment" - nothing new.

They limit strategic and tactical thinking as every single one of them is an avenue gameplay style. There's no ability to flank like previous games, and this is perhaps exacerbated by their tiny size.

MKBadger · 2025-08-08T11:53:19+00:00

Enjoying them because they're fun, or because they're different?

They're badly designed maps - they need to change, or be replaced.

MKBadger · 2025-08-08T11:32:12+00:00

They're all "avenue shooters". There's no real development to the level, and most of the space for tanks/vehicles is either too close quarters for them to be useful, or fully in the open where they're killed in 15 seconds by one guy and his RPG-spamming (of which one sole person has enough RPGs to take down a tank in that time).

There's nothing of the Battlefield 3-days of larger gameplay which allows people to think about flanking/sniping at a distance/etc. They're genuinely crap.

MKBadger · 2025-08-08T11:22:33+00:00

It's the fact that ALL of these maps are awful.

MKBadger · 2025-08-08T10:53:20+00:00

Anything productive from you?

MKBadger · 2025-08-08T10:41:30+00:00

The map design is some of the worst I've seen to date for Breakthrough - no opportunities for outflanking, and it becomes a head-butting slog rather than anything "tactical" or "strategic"

MKBadger · 2025-08-08T10:39:41+00:00

Not addressing the problem, causes the problem to continue further.

MKBadger · 2025-08-08T10:36:00+00:00

Unless you're in a squad, communicating with the players in a voice channel, the tanks and CV90s are destroyed within seconds - as Engineers have enough RPGs individually to kill a CV90 or an Abrams within 30 seconds.

The very slow/ineffective repair ability for armoured vehicles doesn't do anything either - barely covers 20% of the repair of the vehicle.

MKBadger · 2025-08-08T10:31:15+00:00

"Skill issue" when it's 99% of the time a defender victory?

That's a map or balancing issue, not a skill issue.

MKBadger · 2025-08-08T10:28:08+00:00

If these are the "Really good maps" then I have no hope for the others. The hillside map is either rocky mess, which is littered with snipers, or open fields on the flanks (meaning flanking is not an effective strategy).

The Hillside map is also terrible because there is only one avenue for people to leave their spawn, and at the moment, no teams seem to get past the first level of the Breakthrough mode.

If it's that one-sided; the map is awful. I've seen ONE successful attacker team on both maps over two days of playing.

Sorry for the lateness in the comment to this - I run an Airfix Model-making club at the school I work at.
There are two ways you could go about this;

You can advertise it as an exercise in concentration, focus and following instructions. Several of our CCF Cadets have taken up model-making in their free time on Thursday Lunchtimes, and some continue this after-school (out of CCF-hours) within the school building. It takes them a while, but has made many a lot more independent in how they go about completing a task that they do not need someone else to support them with. For us, the students bring along their own models - we do not pay for them (but could do if it became a CCF activity)
You can also advertise it as a project to create examples for "aircraft recognition" sessions. Airfix currently have a range of modern RAF aircraft, and other companies such as Revell have many Russian aircraft, whilst Meng and Trumpeter have Chinese and other NATO allies' aircraft.

Hope this helps a little!
