Hello Fellow Condorians,
Just finished the most infuriating game of breakthrough, and only played this mode due to conquest lobbies being quiet. I'd like to see some major changes to this game mode to help balance it overall.
- Defense does not get enough vehicles or ways to defend
- Defense loses nearly every match
- Attackers get more air assets than defense
What is being done to address this, it is beyond rediculous at this point.
Most of the defense points are in indefensible positions anyway, regardless of the amount of equipment available. Any infantry commander with any experience whatsoever wouldn't have his boys set up shop in some of those stupid places(I would know, I spent 8 years in the infantry). Attacking is supposed to be hard - battles almost alway favor the defender. Most of those points should be in places with more cover and concealment, and have clear fields of fire on obvious avenues of approach. Here you have to defend 360 degrees without so much as a hastily-dug foxhole. Then on top of all that, you have to go head-to-head with a stealth helicoper with only your puny little jeep.
it's funny how these complaints about BT never really existed in the 128 version of the mode back when defenders had one less of every vehicle compared to the attacking team.
It was unbalanced then too, just did not get the muster to post until now.
I had a round yesterday against 3x Hinds vs 0 air assets on defense. 3 v 0 is just pure ignorance.

Breakthrough 128 was very unbalanced
The most balanced breakthrough has been is when it was only on the 64 man layout.
They just needed to nerf the Hind/Condor properly and I think breakthrough would've been in a good place but no instead we get the * 128 layouts and more vehicles on defense which just makes the game mode worse because vehicle players ( especially choppers ) just ignore each other and farm infantry

64 players BT has never been balanced. It's the sole reason why there's so many complaints about aircraft dominating infantry. The old 128 player layouts were more balanced seeing as defenders actually could contest the skies and stop armor advances.
Said this ages ago but this is what happens when you completely nerf the turret into oblivion, all you have to do is rush objectives without a care in the world and it’s easy
