Great spot to hold at the beginning of the map after spawning at southwest SP, showcased in Wait For Me!'s video "ARDENNES Tactics You MUST Know!" Positions underlined and marked 1,2, and 3 are commonly peeked areas by enemies, and should be watched with high importance. Additionally (unmarked) you should aim to watch the gap between the building housing area 3 and the building to its right. Peek area 3 and 4 when necessary as enemies like to use the area behind them to set up from time to time.

Quick spot set on a ledge to peek from to try to catch enemies off-guard upon spawning on southwest spawnpoint. Not sure how good it is with >10deg of depression. Don't linger for more than 15-20 seconds, not worth the opportunity cost. Image shown is generally where you're gonna want to be looking.

Great spot to set up in early-on in battle to catch rushing enemies on their sides. Only weakness is that if you get pushed from your right flank you have no fallback. Probably isn't effective with low depression tanks given you're peeking up and over the ledge made by the road. Gives good field of view over a lot of positions.

This hill gives an amazing view of the enemy spawn, but on approach make sure to watch for enemies across the right flank. Good with tanks that have fast reverse and solid gun depression.

Similar to other pin but for northeast spawnpoint, this is a great position for holding the entire right flank and a couple routes in/out of the main city. Solid cover and good hills to peek over/around, but be sure to keep your head on a swivel.
