Are civilians being counted as attackers? I'm not discounting VIPs tilting the scales, but that looks like it might be the issue.
Ofcourse.
In any average game, Regular Civilians manipulate the whole gamemode if they are in excess.
and its very common too.
It's frustrating for both Terrorist and Security since the Civils add a legally possibly unbalanced gamemode.
6(Sec+Pol) +(5 Civ) vs 5 Terro
I wouldn't say this has reduced much since the new system has been implemented, but ye it still wayy better than 11 Sec+Pol vs 5 Terros in a sense due to lack of firepower.
But since Civilians can kill anyone, Security getting killed by them is still a recurring thing. They don't even let Security enter and protect their president, and president given their consent doesn't do anything.
Another frustating thing is how suddenly the gamemode changes based on the president, suddenly 10% Secs will become Terros and Civils would turn against the newb president, Making a previously 3vs9 to 9vs3.
