The number of Suez map flags in Conquest game mode

Yesterday i watched a jackfrags old BF1 video:

FALL PATCH REVIEW - Battlefield 1 (uploaded to youtube on Nov 15, 2016)

According to the video, the Suez map in Conquest game mode originally only had 3 flags after the game was released.
Does anyone remember this, is it true?

Firstly we get to see a big change on the map Suez. Now the map is five flags instead of the old three flag version.

  • I found this description on the Suez map BF1 fandom page:
    https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Suez_(Battlefield_1)#Trivia
    The map originally featured three flags, making it one of the smallest maps in the game. The November 2016 patch increased the number of Conquest flags to five, transforming the original British and Ottoman deployments into flags while pushing the new deployments further away, and adding armored cars. After this, testing continued in the CTE to determine a map layout that reduces the occurrence of stalemates and deadlocks, however the present five-flag layout appears to be the final version as CTE experimentation has since ceased.


    And I watched some youtube videos and it's really true.
