Nebandan Flats

During Capture the Flag, the map boundaries of Nebandan Flats are slightly wider than in the Conquest modes. Although the map is wider than its Conquest counterpart, the flags are positioned nearly directly north and south of one another. The US flag is located within the Residential area and the team deploys slightly south along the road. On the opposite side of the map, the RU flag is located at the Farm; the RU team deploys to the north along the main road. Both teams have an assortment of vehicles, with quite a few dirtbikes. In addition to these vehicles, the teams can also acquire two extra dirtbikes located on the north side of the Warehouse, which is in the center of the map.

US Base

Positioned at the Residential area, the US Flag is located in the center of the buildings. While the flag may appear to be vulnerable only from the west side of the complex via the road that runs through the map, be aware that the wooden fence surrounding the complex can easily be breached by vehicles. When guarding the flag, make use of the M220 TOW Launcher on the west side of the complex to guard the road from vehicles. The real concern should be breaches of the fence line on the complex’s north and east sides. Utilize the ASRAD to defend against attacks from these directions. One advantage to placing the ASRAD at the northeast corner outside of the complex is that it can also be used to defend against the RU team’s helicopter, which can be expected to be used to transport an enemy flag carrier. Setting mines near possible points of entry near the fence line can prevent vehicles from approaching the flag after smashing through the fence.

RU Base

Located at the Farm, the RU Flag is susceptible to attack from multiple angles. When defending the flag, make use of the 9M133 Kornet Launcher to stave off vehicles approaching from the south. Watch for dirtbikes that attempt to capture the flag from the east, as the open path between the stable and the nearby carport allow for a quick capture and run. The Vodnik AA is a great option for defending the flag, as its weapon is more versatile than the T-90A’s weaponry and more maneuverable as well. Keeping the Vodnik AA positioned on the north side of the complex near the silos allows the vehicle to fire on any target that enters the flag area. The T-90A should stay within the proximity of the Farm area, patrolling the fields south of the Farm, adjacent to the Warehouse. Placement of mines around the flag is useful in defending against dirtbikes, as their speed means they are unable to notice mines before it’s too late.
