Kosovo, Balkans

Kosovo is a playable map in Heliborne. It is only playable with a Generation 4 squadron. It is playable in a daylight and a nighttime version.

Objectives
It is a Frontline map. The goal is to capture the main base (1 resp. 9) of the enemy with friendly tanks. This will be achieved by capturing bases with infantry that are between the main bases and escorting tanks between each base.

Strategies
Due to the symmetric layout of the map capture points 5, 4 and 7 are the central fighting points of the map. The game usually proceeds in three stages:

Start: In the first phase of the game both teams will try to capture the bases adjacent to their main base. In order to do this as fast as possible, the Soviet side is advised to capture LZ 3 and 2 first in order for tanks to spawn. Likewise US team should capture LZ 8 and 6 first. It is generally helpful to disrupt the enemy at the start to get a starting advantage. Usually it is very unbalanced as the player to create the match starts with capturing bases. Often the team of the Host already captured the central points.

Midgame: Both teams fight for the control over the central points and try to capture them. It may be helpful to:
 * Hold down bases 6 resp. 3 in order to prevent tanks spawning from there
 * Deploy MANPADs to fortify the positions
 * Have air supriority

Lategame: One team controls the central points and tries to break through the last defense line. Usually a fight for base 6 resp. 3 breaks out, which the attacker can win due to endless tank resupply from the central bases. The attacking team should: The defending team should:
 * Try to attack the enemies main base relentlessly,
 * Use mainly attack helicopters and scouts to get air supriority,
 * Attack from all sides, this includes attacking from unusual directions
 * Focus on defending their last base by eg. using ATGM and MANPADs,
 * Skirmish the bases of the attacker to steer the focus away from their base (only one player should do this as otherwise the defense would be weakened)
 * If the defending team is strong enough (should be able to keep air supriority) try to fight back by attacking the attackers bases.
