Capture the Flag Tactics

Both flags are in very defensible positions. The Allied flag has upstairs vantage points that make it hard to reach the flag building. Once an attacker has the Allied flag, they’ll have some open territory to run through before they can escape into the trenches. If you’re on the Axis side, clear the entire flag area before running off with the flag to avoid getting shot before reaching the trenches. If you’re an Ally and your flag gets swiped, you can expect the flag carrier to run toward the trenches from the open side of Barn. Going through the front door toward Farm House is an almost guaranteed death. The average player will almost certainly go the other way, which is the way you should go as well if you’re a flag carrier.

Breaking line of sight is easiest once you reach the trenches, so always make that your escape route of choice. If you grab the Axis flag, avoid going through Gun Turrets. It’s a very open area with a great view for snipers and little in the way of tactical cover. The same can be said of Tank Bunker, which offers line of sight until you round the corner at the top of the hill. Grab the flag and run it to West Trenches, either straight out of West Bunker or make your way around West Cliffside and enter the trenches that way.
