Armored Shield

Superiority Flag

Achieving victory in this grueling armor duel requires each team to exert control over an open piece of farmland in the center of the map. The US team starts out on the west side of the map, deploying from the treatment plant. Meanwhile the RU team approaches from the east, deploying from the repair shop. The flag is located in a field just north of the farm, surrounded by rolling terrain. Since the flag sits in a bowl-like depression, units must approach within approximately 100 meters to establish a clear line of sight. So once your team has established control of the flag, form a defensive line on the east or west side of the field in an effort to block the opposing team’s access to the flag. The perimeter fence lines are built on a slight hill, providing some decent protection for tanks and tank destroyers. There are also multiple craters in the field capable of concealing the chassis of a tank or tank destroyer. Parking your vehicle in a crater greatly reduces your visible profile, requiring opponents to score a hit on your turret. While infantry should avoid the no-man’s land around the flag, engineers can offer support by firing Javelins and rockets from the farm to the south or from the antenna to the south. Vehicle repairs are always needed, so make sure you have access to a repair tool before spawning into the game.
