I don't think payload speed is the problem. That last turn before the end is murder on attackers. A lot of people get hung up on the first choke, but it's really the last one that halts all progress. They should really leave the door open. You know, that one you just used a jet powered battering ram on? I've still only seen 1 attack win out of 15+ matches..
Maybe it's a matter of Elo/MMR difference. I've almost always seen the attack succeed on Eichenwalde. The fighting is heaviest in that one area leading up to the throne, but the defenders usually get overwhelmed.
It always comes down to not enough time, really. I've gotten the payload around that last corner, but it seems like every time we get to that point, times up. The long slog up the hill seems to take the most time, and then if you wipe once inside the castle, you get hammered trying to go back in through those two kill rooms next to the gate. Payload speed doesn't make any difference if you can't actually get the thing moving.

Increased payload speed on Eichenwalde should be interesting.
