Tr sentry busting (coop)

This map is basically a tutorial about how teamwork helps to destroy sentries.

Currently, only the first part of the map is available. I will add the rest as I finish them.

NOTES:
1) This map is designed for two players. However, it is possible to have more ones, but it is not how this map is supposted to be played.
2) This map is designed for the stock weapons loadout. Some weapons are banned by map automatically.

How to play?

If you have white (external) IP address with required port open (usually 27015), then:
1) set sv_allow_point_servercommand to "always"
2) set sv_lan to "0"
3) create a server with this map
4) call your friend and tell him your IP and port (your friend will need to connect to you via console (connect <IP:port>))

If your IP address is private or the method above doesn't work you can borrow a free server easily via sites such as https://www.freegamehosting.eu/ or others
1) Borrow a server
2) Start a server with any map
3) Enter rcon password via console (rcon_password <rcon password>)
4) Change the map to this one via console (rcon changelevel workshop/600242385)
5) Invite your friend to the game

IMPORTANT: If bots don't join map once any player joined the blue team, it means that you need to type the following commands into console in that order:
1) mp_tournament 0
2) sv_cheats 1
3) sv_allow_point_servercommand always
4) mp_restartgame 1 (this command can be needed twice if only one or two bots joined (you need 3 ones))
If you play on borrowed server, type rcon in front of the console commands. (e.g. rcon sv_cheats 1)

In this tutorial I talk about sentries busting tactics and use the map as a proof that my tactics work. Here you can see the tutorial as a text.

Part 1:

This part is moslty about basic tactics. They can be used by different class combinations but I find that two soldiers is the best one to use them.

1) Find firepower
Buildings are repaired very fast by engineers. Destroying a sentry which is being repaired constanly seems to be very hard or nearly impossible in most situation. However, if you can find enough firepower to outdamage engineer's repairing rate, sentry busting becomes possible. Be sure, one soldier can do nothing against sentry without killing engineer. But two soldiers destroys it very quickly without needing to murder engineer first. Weapons have no damage fall-off against buildings, so rockets deal full damage to sentries at any range. It means that soldiers have almost guaranted frag if they meet a sentry outside its range
2) Do not fear sentries
Most players are afraid to stand in sentry range. That's why uber is so common way to bust sentries - medic's patient can do anything he wants for 10 seconds due to invulnerability. But simple usage of covers can be enough to stand sentry damage. Soldier have 0.8 sec cooldown before his rocketlauncher can shoot again. Be behind a cover during this time. If both soldiers do this , they will need just 2-3 shots (from each) to destroy sentry. And they will not lose that much health due to covers. But there could be situations where using covers is not even needed. Level 1-2 sentry are destroyed with two well-synchronized rockets no matter what. So, if you meet one and you can't use covers, don't be afraid, just go in its range and "oneshot" it. (This can be done with level 3 sentries too, but you need more powerful weapons such as the Direct Hit).
Another situation appears when engineer uses the Rescue Ranger. It doesn't repair building that good compared to wrench. Two soldiers have enough health to stand CONSTANT sentry damage for the time that is needed to bust a sentry which is being repaired by the Rescue Ranger. But you need to go in sentry range synchronously with your teammate.
3) Use buffs
Any buff can help a lot. As I said before, medic's uber is the most common one. However, overhealing two soldier can be enough to make them very dangerous for engineer's nest. But we'll not talk about this, because soldiers can't overheal or uber yourself (anyways, keep in mind, that double soldier uber can be a good idea ). We will talk about the buff that is activated with the Battalion's Backup. This item is so powerful in terms of destroying sentries. Once it is activated, two soldiers can play so agressive due to 50% resistance to damage dealt by sentry. Go in sentry range, aim at it, hold down M1 - sentry will be destroyed quickly and you both will have a nice amount of health. If you want to play even more agressive, rocket-jump to sentry if it can give you an additional advantage. It might be tricky but it works.
