Why can't people wrap their heads around the strategy and tactics required on this map? They'd rather run up to a gate and try and plant a bomb 20 times until they die and leave demo's in their bases or stand by the gates while the demo's get in range. Easily the most frustrating map.

Imo any map with vehicles in it suck.

the Bombs are a far better way to blow doors, actually. Always have been.

Demos take WAY too many hits.

But... people tend to tunnel the demos, so you should always have them. Itll distract people enough for you to set bombs.

Honestly the best strat is to run bombs and stay ahead of the defenders. Capping the GYs before you're at yellow actually slows you down. If you dont cap them, the enemy tends to spawn behind you if keep up the speed/pressure .

And never, never EVER cap SGY

Its also, oddly enough, a lot better to assign a few people to run dedicated interference (slowing defenders down as they try to catch up to your team as they rush forward with bombs. YOu can be at/blowing yellow with most of the enemy team still alive far behind you.

THEN you cap the GYs and grab demos for the final push.

That's a common misconception. You need both, bombs and vehicles, to succeed. Most people ignore vehicles and are suprised when they rush 1-2 gates, but get stuck at the last two gates. Vehicles are important, especially for destroying the last gate.

Bomb first two walls, demo/bomb last wall, dont cap top gy, demo rush relic. succeed

This. And the vehicles are best when you do not drive them into the door, but instead shoot it from max range. You force enemies to split between guarding the gate and destroying the demos.

Yeah, i said that. I just said bombing is the better way to destroy walls, but that you should bring Demos because people will focus them and ignore defending the wall.

I'd say staying ahead of the opposition is a more effective strat, IMO.

If you blow yellow before capping the two vehicle GYs, theyll still be spawning at those GYs. You can wipe them, sending them BEHIND you, blow yellow, and have 4 bombs on the relic door before its even possible for them to ride up behind you.

However, if they manage to get into position to D the relic door, then yes, Demos are pretty much it. Its too easy for them to stack D on the door.
