Well, I was almost going 
Yeah, I’ve seen there is a Codey on the DeGen team, my nick comes from playing as CodeMadeFlesh in the beginning of my Urban Terror days but kitten in my now sadly inactive clan UKV thought that was too long to type :moo:
Anyway guys, I’ve read all the responses and by picking together various tips and bits managed at a first try to bring down r_speeds on ground level to mostly below 10000, averaging round 7-8000 and getting as low as 2500 with a few spots hitting 12000. On top of the reachable tank roofs there are hot spots of about 14000 but guess that’s unavoidable given nearly the entire map is visible from up there. I’ll polish on the map a bit more and get back with a more detailed account on how I hinted it asap.
A big thanks to all who took time to answer! Most helpful!
cheers
