It's impossible to defend in breakthrough.

90% of the games I played in breakthrough as a defender, our team lost, the main reason for this is the specialists, Sundance can fly anywhere and can easily get behind the defenders and install a beacon, Mackay can access the higher points easily, tanks are ridiculously weak in this game, there are so many ways to destroy them, so basically attackers are coming from everywhere it’s impossible to defend against good players who know what they are doing.

    In that case, play Breakthrough on Exposure.

    There, attackers never win (well, almost never if the defenders are at least somewhat competent).

    But independent of which side is favored by bad game design decisions: those one sided matches are rarely/never fun. Neither for the winning and especially not for the losing team.

    I played a game last night as defender and the team was an absolute fortress.  AA was good.  Vehicles were getting Soflam and destroyed.  Attackers couldn't push through.  Had the hill covered and the flanks. They must have been hating it.  They only challenged the first sector maybe 2 or 3 times and were taken out within a matter of seconds. 

    Wish we had persistent Servers as would have been good to see if that was a true fluke and whether the attackers would have learned anything in following attempts.

    @DuaneDibbley This isn't true at all. Exposure doesn't change any of the core issues with breakthrough unbalance and in the case of vehicles it's even worse than the base maps. The defenders rarely get even a single vehicle to aid them against the attackers.
  • The reason is because most of the time the defending Team is to stupid to understand that they actually have to stay on the Point they want to defend and not waiting around it while it's getting captured

    @DuaneDibbley Exposure on Breakthrough is the same, with half the attackers team playing with Sundance, it's impossible to defend.

    @theBus2142 Yeah, when you have 1 player on the objective, it is not that hard to cap for the attackers. Then half the defending team rushes over there leaving the other point wide open.

    Defending takes a lot more coordination than attacking.
  • Keep your squad in or very close to the capture/defend area.  Pay attention to all entrances to this area.  Use proximity gadgets and Paik who is an excellent defensive specialist to spot check the capture/defend zone.  Having a squad mate that throws out ammo always helps as well, but to say defending is impossible is just not true.  

    It is the way that a lot of people go about defending that is causing them to lose so often.  If the capture/defend area is indoors then there are no excuses.  There is always a sector on the map that gives defenders an advantage if they are smart enough to take advantage of it.
