[hushed abyss]

Castilla is fine, as long as your enemies dont know where to find the W key

[wary mist]

forgot about dynastys pearl

really hate that one

[hushed abyss]

But the worst map in the game will always be dead rail

[wary mist]

yeah yall are right, ive thought about it more. dead rail is the most awful

[hushed abyss]

My favourite maps are: Hellas, Ancient pyramids, canal, mines and maybe malinovka

[plush field]

Vineyards has the best atmosphere and that’s a fact

[fallen owl]

castilla

[ivory zodiac]

Lost Temple was the goat

[cobalt flint]

I miss winter malinovka :(((

my fav maps are : Desert sands, winter malinovka, vineyards and maybe canal

least fav maps : Castilla, deadrail a little bit and rockfield

[solar tusk]

what's wrong with rockfield?

[cobalt flint]

Doesn't look cool

[solar tusk]

oh, thought it has balance issue like castilla and dead rail

[cobalt flint]

Idk dead rail I dont think its bad cuz I haven't had any bad thing yet except a 183 and jag camping

[fallen owl]

that map is either be in a stalemate or risk it all

[cobalt flint]

I hate Hellas it has the most boring battles but molendijk got intense fights

[fallen owl]

yeah i don't like hellas either

[primal peak]

No one likes hellas

[cobalt flint]

should be removed and PROKHOROVKA SHOULD BE ADDED

[compact quiver]

remove normandy

[midnight fractal]

quite ironic for patton to say

[dusty moss]

I kinda miss lost temple (if that’s the one with the Saigon feel, with the big Dias at the complex centre and the streams of to the med side of the map) because it was so different. There was word that it was removed to be updated/improved - don’t know if anything came of that.

My least favourite map is castilla because of the omnipresent sniping positions. I don’t have a problem with dead rail at low tiers, but at 8+ it gets more iffy. Similarly mines and fort despair work better at low tier and might be the best maps (along with dead rail) for T5 and below because they are small. IMHO.

What was the desert map with the railway line, with a big hill with a lake and waterfall beyond called? That was a great low tier map.

[plush field]

mirage

[hallow terrace]

Mirage and Lost Temple. 🙏

[cobalt flint]

Im bored without malinovka

[tender hill]

omg , can someone pin a msg saying "yes, we all know about your feelings and memories of mirage and lost temple" they were removed and either reworked into different looking maps or will remain in limbo until WG can find the time to fix them, most of us would rather WG spend resources on current game instead of borderline useless maps that were/are tier restricted like copper field

[cobalt flint]

everyone crying over lost temple and mirage they weren't that good

[tender hill]

ask about any current map situation here and someone will give tips on what they do to get dmg or xp accumulated , if you're a dmg hawk or team player someone willl suggest something here , don't be discouraged, we'll get rid of anyone that craps on a question relating to the game

[shut egret]

rose tinted glasses do funny things to people

[crimson dagger]

literally the moment they get added back to game theres gonna be complaints and ppl saying they hate playing those maps lol

[limber tinsel]

Not only that,the maps are lowtier only,and who's willing to go below t8 to play it

[crimson dagger]

They wont be low tier only, the entire reason they got removed from the game was so WG could rework them and make them usable for higher tiers too

[cobalt flint]

Plus they are overrated

[weak oar]

I'm sure this is Mirage map

It may be a very good new !!!

[tropic sphinx]

BRING BACK OLD MIRAGE

[stiff kindle]

The artillery piece is familiar

[weak oar]

and the tower

[limber tinsel]

Because it's not mirage,its El Alamein

[vale hinge]

This is not mirage, this is desert sands

[weak oar]

I ve seen...

[cobalt flint]

ITS DESERT SANDSSSS

[cobalt flint]

hell no mid map for heavy tanks its mid and should stay in the trash for now

[cursive latch]

Ew

[limber tinsel]

Ok

[verbal hedge]

No...

[tropic sphinx]

maybe learn to adapt to it rather than complain on looks

[cobalt flint]

How its removed🤣

[cobalt flint]

its not a map for ht its mid and overrated

[cobalt flint]

Sad truth

[supple rune]

it's still a good map

[tropic sphinx]

its a map for everything

[cobalt flint]

its No longer

[terse isle]

Literally Desert Sands

[tender hill]

a map for everything to do what? there was only one area for meds/lights to spot from, 1 area they could go brawl and heavies had a small fighting area that was half water with no hull down really, tds had even less options depending on your spawn, you had to stay on the dunes side and try and make whatever depression you have work or be forced to fight on heavy side regardless of what armour you brought

[regal swallow]

The rose-colored glasses are real. I just remember being shot from everywhere on that map

The town was so frustrating to play in. Everybody had lines on everyone else

[desert tendon]

Mirage wasn’t really that great, even at low tiers smart players would set up crossfires and ruin your day

[crimson dagger]

I don't thin there even was a town, like 3 random buildings by the waterfall and a very narrow heavy corridor behind it

[torpid citrus]

<@&481447501690568709>

[gray gust]

titusyin was muted.

[regal swallow]

yeah you're right i'm thinking of lost temple. Mirage was kinda goofy i liked it lmao

[tender hill]

anyone have a clip or replay of being blind shot at start of battle recently?

[tropic sphinx]

which is why adapt

[river mirage]

Wait wait, is it tier 6??

[tender hill]

tier doesn't matter, I'm just looking for the path of the shells

[river mirage]

Ohh, its just that i uh.. Blindshotted someone back then at the start of a match

I thought you were the one that i blindshotted lol

wait, nvm my dum brain, here you go.

[tender hill]

perfect thanks

[river mirage]

** **

[tender hill]

didn't know what shooter, just chose m10, but its still a ridiculous shot

[river mirage]

Looking at it on the map, it looks beyond ridiculous, there is no way that actually what it would look like

[modern maple]

Judging by the alpha it was the T-34-85 Victory

[short marlin]

thats desert sands

[white knot]

Who have the fps drop problem with all remodeled maps

[upper mortar]

Ngl I miss the og map before they took it out in 2020 it was a desert map it had a pond with a waterfall

[modern maple]

Mirage?

[crimson dagger]

everyone misses them until they come back, then the complaints will start 😂

[rough badge]

Drop your graphic settings. Grass eats your fps.

[white knot]

@rough badge i tried but the same & even in desert map no grass same issue drop to in a gd way tp 83 in bad way to 48

@rough badge bdw my phone is strong snapdragon gen 2 12gb of ram

[rough badge]

It may be a problem with the internet strength. Try turning off HD textures.

[rough badge]

Nice

[hushed abyss]

What gpu does it have?

[hushed abyss]

The thing is, even if its a strong phone, its still a phone. Btw, the amount of ram it has is not that important in this case, its about the gpu. the bigger the gpu, the better it is.
(Usually)

[cursive latch]

What phone are you using, a Xiaomi i recon right?

[white knot]

@cursive latch gpu is dreno 730 pretty strong to handle it but don't know what's tha prob it happen to other strong phones too like s21 ultra i thin the prob is with the game

@cursive latch bdw im using s22 ultra

[cursive latch]

but it doesn't have sd8gen 2

[white knot]

Yep gen 1@cursive latch

[cursive latch]

The game might be the issue

[white knot]

I tried to contact support but no use

[cursive latch]

Or your phone thermal throttling Because of the flawed chip

[white knot]

Maybe too

[cursive latch]

Try getting a cooler
i recommend Nubia red magic 5 pro Cooler but you can try something from black shark for example fun cooler 4 pro

[white knot]

But is doesn't get that hot like normal 55

[cursive latch]

it gets near to 55°?

[white knot]

Sometimes yes but if the phone is cool it's keep lagging 😦

[cursive latch]

go to a trusted phone repair shop and tell him to do an inspection on the battery voltage output and the health of it, if the battery isn't the problem he should take a look at the motherboard to see if it has some damage on it, if the phone is in perfect shape try resetting it and before you do it back up your photos and accounts

[white knot]

The problem happens to all flagship phones not only this one lol im tired of it i changed my phone for the game 2 times

[cursive latch]

what phones were you using

[white knot]

S20 plus,s21 ultra now s22 ultra

[cursive latch]

Second hand or new

[white knot]

Well second hand

[cursive latch]

the previous owner could have done something to them and people don't really sell phones because they got bored of them

[white knot]

That's what i was thinking bdw those phones are expensive bdw That's the problem

[snow crag]

No new map since Lagoon

[hushed abyss]

@white knot Maybe, just maybe, its not because of your phone, but because of your wifi connection. Even if you have good ping and a low loss ratio, it might still affect your game quality. Btw, try setting your vegetation settings to low, because that uses a lot of computation power. And set your shadows to medium or lower, because high shadow settings dont look better, but they make your phone lag.
If nothing works, maybe there is smth wrong with your hardware, because im using a relatively old apple 4 cluster gpu on maxed out graphics at 60fps without problems.

[white knot]

@hushed abyss yeah most probably it's not about the connection it's the phone maybe but after testing iphone phones better in games

[gray gust]

zozo170236 was banned.

[tepid patio]

Scrapped bridge for Mines rework(2016)

[verbal hedge]

Lol

[slender siren]

I dunno if that’s a good idea. Maybe if they put small sides on the bridge

[shut egret]

mines need to have the hill itself reworked to be good, adjusting other parts of the map doesn't really affect it

[modern maple]

You‘d be surprised. Say if we were to elevate all other terrain but the hill by 50 metres, I‘d argue that this would tremendously affect gameplay on the map

[zinc trout]

I advocate for making mines a 5km x 5km map

[modern maple]

I‘m down

[silk shuttle]

We need some new maps for 2025, we played on the same 6 maps for years

[tepid patio]

There's more

[fair fox]

Wait where did you find this? :D

[silk zenith]

WG should add some night themed maps. We only have one i.e Faust.

[tender hill]

faust and himmelsdorf is also a bit darker because it's snowing there, maybe darker maps only work with a winter themed map. vineyards use to be sunset lighting but that didn't last long before it was changed

[silk zenith]

Himmelsdorf will become summer map later. The only night map is Faust.

[tender hill]

ya that's what made me think that night only works on winter theme, if himmelsdorf is going no snow and mid day

[silk zenith]

They can even make some existing maps darker like lagoon from the souleater trailer.

[tender hill]

im sure they can pretty easily but they haven't so was just trying to guess the reason why not

[red lake]

(There is no reason they’re just lazy)

[tender hill]

it's definitely not lazy, have you noticed what has been done in blitz in 2024? maybe they're short of devs but it due to being lazy

[red lake]

In regards to night maps we had multiple, there was Halloween versions of maps lock rockfield and I believe the one with the church in dead center and these have never returned for Halloween for unknown reasons
Old vineyards also had a special effect because of the darkness muzzle flash was a lot brighter than normal

[tepid patio]

From an ex-WG developer

[fair fox]

cool

[hushed abyss]

Wg should introduce this effect for himmelsdorf and faust too

[dark umbra]

When tier X night battles with night vision?

[supple lily]

Never lol WG ain't never doing that

[compact quiver]

remove faust

[rocky ravine]

What is the next pbr map?

[cursive latch]

Canal i think, it will get pbr with the coming of unreal engine

[daring sorrel]

The only one that has been teased is Himmelsdorf but Canal was shown in the UE5 teaser

[rocky ravine]

Unreal engine 5???

It's a pc thing no?

[zinc trout]

No, blitz is going to transition

[rocky ravine]

Wdym

[rocky ravine]

I have never ever seen an UE5 mobile game it's all unity or smth

Same as UE4 only PC's can pull it out, might be wrong tho

[red lake]

Their switching engines next year

[rocky ravine]

To UE5?

[uneven wagon]

Yes

[rocky ravine]

Dude how can u even make a ue5 game for phones

[zinc trout]

UE5 is an engine that can run anywhere? It’s not like engines only work on computers lol. Blitz runs in the same engine for phone and PCs right now

[shut egret]

forgive them, people constantly think of UE as those hyper realistic renders, and not just being a game engine in general

[rocky ravine]

It's turned to the left counterclockwise

Looks edited

[covert lark]

I am just concerned for the low end phones after that switch

[shut egret]

unfortunately if the game wants to improve visually you can't offer support to lower end devices forever

[errant vale]

[errant vale]

???? nothing wrong

[orchid arrow]

They extended it a bit on the right I think

[visual mirage]

Where should hull down heavies push in Castilla?

[vale hinge]

on the medium side preferably

[rocky ravine]

What collisions on maps did they change

[rocky ravine]

Town

[solemn burrow]

why do people hate mines so much its a decent map

[sacred cobalt]

So small for high tiers
Quite unplayable

[solemn burrow]

idk i like the hill part

[tender hill]

it's not my favourite but i don't mind mines , i like the hill mouth medium brawl, i enjoy heavy tank ridge fighting or holding back the flank alone in a heavy, i don't enjoy the sniper td spots on mines but i will do was you're supposed to in a to help win

[shut egret]

the map is too small for T10 to work on, and if you don't have gd/are paper, good luck, ultimately the map would be fine if it was larger with the smaller one becoming t1-7 locked.

[plush field]

It’s a small map that always has the same engagements

It’s not entertaining at higher tiers

[solemn burrow]

i hate 183's so id be happy

[torpid citrus]

I got something that can make you happy

[compact quiver]

remove ghost factory

[dark umbra]

[plucky token]

how to play port bay as a squishy TD? assuming everyone goes C

[hexed echo]

wg needs to make bigger maps if they want to keep bringing back 10vs10

[viscid field]

I think that they should add the 1/2 map feature thing u see in skirmish to 10vs10

[civic phoenix]

At first i usually go here to get one shot into the meds that is going to corner, after that im going back to the bush behind me. Port bay is very limited to tds tho, especially if enemy team goes C.

[torpid citrus]

if your TD is fast enough, going down under the bridge to shoot slower mts crossing wide can work too. sometimes i do that with some meds. risky though

[plucky token]

sounds almost like TDs should go town to prevent flanking from that side

[limber tinsel]

? In that case its better to go to med to kill all the tanks there and then kill the flanking ones

[static rampart]

Agreed

[plucky token]

how lol squishy TDs lose to meds in a brawl

[limber tinsel]

You going alone to med flank?

[stark comet]

Better idea. Remake mines but bigger

[shut egret]

and rework it's entire gameplay loop to not be both onesided, and completely unfun and boring.

[crimson crystal]

how does one play mines on a light tank?

[crimson crystal]

alr thanks

[kindred scaffold]

Anyone who has old clients? With old maps? 👀

[rocky ravine]

Praying

I just know that one day the 10v10 thing will not be a fun mode

[tender hill]

what happened to the reworked himmelsdorf map? why did they release a hype video ages ago? did i miss an update on it?

[solid plume]

pre 7.9 apk and ipa files only have mines, but not mirage since that's in the dvpk. so just pull old, pre 7.9 steam depots. aside from those two map, clients with other old maps like bridge, yard, safari, etc. are not publicly available.

[quaint bay]

I hate castilla for pubs and comp.

[crimson crystal]

does anyone knwo good camping spots on some maps? i need soem help cuz i just bought back my e4 and e3 and idk where to camp

[limber tinsel]

Don't

[low lodge]

E4 is more of a mid line support tank. It’s wasting it to camp and snipe

[tender hill]

the new update for blitz map inspector has some clean HD now, 🥳

[quaint bay]

Frontline better, it work well in close combat, only thing i dont like is -6 depression

[modern maple]

Nice

[low lodge]

I’ve seen people use it as a bully tank upfront. The hard part with that is the slow turret. That’s why I prefer to play it mid-line.

[quaint bay]

Normal for something work like a ht

[shut egret]

why not just do it ingame 🗿

[royal pond]

Most of the time when you finally flank through the red area your team has lost the hill and is fighting a losing battle alr

[rocky ravine]

Thanks for the guide lol

[tender hill]

suggest a couple maps and ill give you some good td spots, but i don't agree with using e4 or e3 as snipers most battles, but ill show some spots

[silk zenith]

Hellas and new bay

[tight badger]

we should bring back maps like lost temple and mirage

[limber tinsel]

No

[quaint bay]

bro is not a wotb player

[limber tinsel]

Why do you need a map for low tiers?

[quaint bay]

who said its for low tiers and its where we grow up

[limber tinsel]

Go watch some photos then,you won't even bother going to low tier to play that map after a week of two if it's gets added back

[quaint bay]

its not a low tier map, what even is a low tier map

[limber tinsel]

It is

Did you saw people play it on t8 or higher? Not training rooms

[quaint bay]

if you dont know dont say

[limber tinsel]

Mirage is

[quaint bay]

bro.....

be quiet honestly

your like a kid

[tight badger]

we need more map choices, just saying

[shut egret]

mirage was tier locked before being removed

[placid gulch]

I miss hulling down on the monument steps.

Is3 use to be bulletproof in the front. It was great for turret peeking.

[tight badger]

yep

[south geyser]

My favorite map, i used to play there with a t29

[tiny solar]

Is there a way I can make a map model and send it to the WoTB official to see if they will use it?

[tight badger]

no idea

but tbh i wish they made a better version of castilla

i lik e castilla just no defensive postitions on either hill against TDs

[solemn burrow]

English only here

omg i just translated this

<@&481447501690568709> uh the thing had swear words + the f slur according to translate

bwomp

[pale viper]

We need more maps

Like alot more theres no variety in my opion

[radiant nexus]

Does anyone else detest Port Bay? “Go river”, they say. Yes, let’s just wedge 14 tanks into 1/3 of the map. Piece of 💩 map. I was so glad when it was taken out of rotation and was hoping they would forget to put it back in. Oh well…

[modern maple]

Just go town . And if you want to insist on using the whole map, you can also use the 1/8th that‘s the ocean

Nobody forces you to go to the river side, and having two tanks on the city flank usually doesn‘t hurt if they time their flanking attack well

[royal pond]

The heavy tank hill is rendered useless not only by sniping td but also the mediums on the castle

[hollow geyser]

Make/add maps that are bigger no need to be small and short matches. Can have like 15-20 min match. I know its blitz means fast but doesnt hurt if we get a bigger sized maps

[modern maple]

15-20 minutes? How long do you want to sit around and wait? Because a tank vs tank engagement in Blitz usually lasts between 30 seconds and a minute if both are full hp

[silk zenith]

The games should be 4-7 mins long. That's enough.

[haughty yacht]

Where do you find this?

[tender hill]

[radiant nexus]

I know what the strategy for this map is but that doesn’t mean I still don’t think it’s a God-awful map

[vague solstice]

Damn dropping some knowledge n facts bro

[quaint bay]

when himmelsdorf rework???

[tame latch]

I haven’t seen any date given by WG. Map reworks usually take a long time to complete and with the conversion to the Unreal engine also going on they might release the Himmelsdorf rework at the same time. There’s no date on that either so we will have to be patient.

[tepid patio]

After unreal engine

[quaint bay]

dangit..ill not be able to play then as my device is very much a slug..

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wargaming make MINES only for lower tier.
first of all the map is too small for tier 10
second of all if one of the teams gets on the hill they have a higher chance of winning
third of all td can just stand in a bush at the spawn and snipe pretty much from anywhere
map is literally NOT designed for high tier what the hell please

whoever in wargaming was designing that map got no braincells ill pray on ur downfall

[solemn burrow]

i love mines

[tender hill]

this version of mines is the 2nd, the OG mines had multiple routes to get on/off the hill, when they reworked mines they took the WoT PC version and shrunk it down and removed whatever so it could work on mobile. back then there were only 4 nations in the tech tree and fewer choices of vehicles but yes its probably overdue for another rework

[mystic thunder]

Wotb modding is quite useless anyways. And just buy a better device then you can play.

[pale isle]

you can still play that map in lower tiers haha

[tight rampart]

yes but its the og cant you see how the terrain is?

[pale isle]

yeah I see that, I am happy the graphics arent that bad anymore

[tight rampart]

well its not from the game itself i installed a mod that changes the graphics for the map

[quaint bay]

That's crazy

[tender hill]

im the opposite, i like dead rail because in a lt/mt, my actions can have more of an impact deciding a W or L

[zinc trout]

Dead rail is decided entirely by TDs

[tender hill]

why do you think that? everyone should know where they can be safe from sniping tds , snipers are depending on spotters in order to get shots during early battle

[zinc trout]

Because a TD can sit in one spot on either side and lock down the entire map. Anyone who pokes takes massive amount of damage no matter what, so it just turns it into a stalemate where TDs control everything

[tender hill]

i understand they have a view point but we know where they'll be and where they can fire. for them to fir3 cross map someone has to spot for them

[zinc trout]

That’s not the position I’m talking about. It’s the bushes in spawn where they lock down the map

[tender hill]

i'll do one more lol but not going to show all their positions : )

[zinc trout]

The biggest issue is that as soon as you peek or try to push, you will instantly be punished by any TD in that position, leading to nobody pushing at all because they don’t want to take the damage

[supple rune]

that looks so nice!

._.

i believe you are getting them

[gritty prawn]

Let dead rail have only 1 td each team

[plush field]

See that’s ok and all until the heavies start replacing those TDs in their typical camping spots

[silk zenith]

Can anyone suggest some good positions to play ht and td in fort despair ?

[knotty osprey]

You can push med side

[gritty prawn]

Atleast you can spot them:) without needing a med or light drive to mid to spot them while crossing towards the bush

[plush field]

True

[tame latch]

This video may give you some ideas about good positions and what makes them good.

Some tanks can play a bit like another class. There are more spots that can work for them.

[autumn garden]

I mean yeah……

[oblique mural]

wait actually?

[tame latch]

That’s a different game concept by a different company.

Larger maps could mean that battles take longer to play and may require tanks that are balanced for the play style needed for that size map. (And arty).

[red lake]

Lesta is literally on the same systems and have the more experienced devs

[tame latch]

Lesta had the software that existed at the end of the withdrawl. It is running on their own systems. The Wargaming servers in the data centers they used in Russia were wiped clean by the data center company when they withdrew from Russia. Lesta had raised financing for their own servers by then.

Any game/server software changes since then should be different for each company. They would still be similar but not identical.

As for which company has the more experienced staff, I don’t how we’d really know without having 2021 and 2024 staff rosters. That is not and should never be made public.

[molten forge]

I'd say, our new year event is already a lot better than one from lesta, so I hope our managers know what they're doing

[tame latch]

me too 🙂

[cursive latch]

We need longer battles on bigger maps, im bored of the same small square and 3 min matches

[tame latch]

Going from500x500 to 1200x1200 would be a major change. I’d be less skeptical of tanks that have been balanced for 500m working on something that isn’t as big of a change.

The 3 minute length though, that gets us into the nature of our teams and matchmaking. Some of my most enjoyable battles are when it narrows down to a few players. Some sort of team balancing must be needed, but would that be popular?

What do you think would increase the battle length?

[knotty osprey]

Meanwhile wot pc with 3min battles xd

[cursive latch]

It will make damage drop with distance a real factor

[lusty gyro]

WG improve and remaster this map and bring it back

[tame latch]

Oh yeah. The shell range on all but two tanks is 720m and the diagonal map distance is only 706m. Now you can hit everything on the map, but that wouldn’t be true on a bigger map. Corner campers would less useful than now.

Accuracy would go down as well due to dispersion effects.

[fallen jackal]

the commentary is automatic?

[red lake]

They did already, never coming back

[tame latch]

I think I saw that it was coming back with UE5: but I can’t remember where I saw that. Could be wishful thinking. I liked the map.

[placid gulch]

I miss the old maps. They were so fun and big but not too big.

[sinful cliff]

I just realize, I never encounter Winter Malinovka again...

and the one in a chinatown like and what is it... I forgot the other one

[shrewd ice]

[tame latch]

Those were part of the season rotation and should be back in January February. The whole list:

Molendijk
Winter Malinovka
Canal
Dynasty's Pearl
Alpenstadt

I haven’t missed DaNasty all that much, tbh.

[sinful cliff]

ohhhh so there's a rotation for map... now i know... nice info. thanks👍

[tame latch]

Correction: February. I forgot the one month gap between seasons.

[pallid knot]

How to play in this map?

[zinc trout]

You can’t

[lusty gyro]

That map is not in the game anymore

[ocean dagger]

What happened to the big city map they were bringing… himmelsdorf i think?

[obsidian maple]

While ever tanks = money to WG we will never get what this game needs to stay alive which is greater variety in game play through more maps.

[zealous crown]

I liked this map, why was it removed?

[lusty gyro]

Wot from ps4 is going good, new maps and different variety of the same version but on winter, summer and even desert.

How about having the same map but in different weather settings? For example the map Mines on summer and Mines(Winter). That should be a good idea.

Can they add this map but winter version? Or even the rain version since the game has rain environment already

[dark umbra]

can they remove this map?

[shut egret]

i'd rather remove mines/deadrail than castilla

[dark umbra]

mines yeh

[lusty gyro]

Which maps do you want them to add?

[shut egret]

a blitz version of prokhorovka, summer malinovka (with layout of the original v1 map from blitz) empires border, windstorm, ruinberg/on fire, paris, berlin (generally, a map set in every major city from ww2 would be nice as a form of representing factions but thats just me) highway, live oaks, pilsen (technically abandon. factory already does the look) murovanka, fjords.

plenty of current PC maps whether removed or currently playable could be modified to fit in blitz

[lusty gyro]

Yeah but do you think they can add those with the current graphics engine?

[shut egret]

that has never been an issue, they could make anything work with DAVA, let alone UE post switch

[molten forge]

This map can already lag some phones to 15fps and you want to add particles and light rays

[ocean dagger]

Pc and mobile are different platforms. Mobiles have more potatoes to cater to

[ocean dagger]

This was more than 6 month ago… so plan died?

[tame latch]

Or they decided to just do an Unreal version. Everything is being converted so the map team is probably busy. Going straight to UE may be less work.

The teaser showed changes to the Canal map and there could be changes to other maps too. Having a new map would be a nice addition to the Unreal release.

[lusty gyro]

Doesn't lag to me

[formal acorn]

Is wg gonna add themes and seasons to maps depending on the time of year once UE5 drops?

[tame latch]

Staff previously recommended reducing graphics quality to medium if fps drops were experienced on Castilla. That avoids the pbr map elements.

[placid gulch]

They use to around Christmas and froze the water and stuff.

[pallid elbow]

Where the old maps China, desert etc 😢

[compact cobalt]

ah yes my favourite wot blitz maps, China and Desert

[terse isle]

I remember playing on Desert back in the day in my Heavy Tank, those were the days

[plush field]

7v7 in China again when 🔥

[red lake]

Woahh like 2 maps you haven’t played in 4 years

[red lake]

Castilla has never had a Christmas version

[faint orbit]

Hi all. Plis what is code for Ms 1 ??

[tame latch]

There was a code six months ago but it’s expired now. WOTBLITZMS1LOVE if you want to see for yourself.

[left comet]

why is mines still in high tier rotation

[plush aspen]

What happened to the Dutch style map? Is it getting reworked

[worn sigil]

Which way do you guys think fort despair's entrance would be when it wasn't so destroyed

[slow dirge]

Probably around the Southeast or Northwest sides of the fortress, both are plausible to be honest

[tame latch]

It was rotated out for this season and should come back with the new season in February.

[tame latch]

I’d go with southwest. The main building would have given a second line of defense if a southwest entrance was breached. The buildings in the other directions were not as substantial and could have been used as cover by an attacker.

Apparently the other buildings were destroyed when the walls were breached but the main building wasn’t. That’s where you would make your last stand.

[patent cairn]

Guys if you are in an Emil 2 or kranvagn where do you suggest positioning on middle burg ? I have thought about this for 2 months now /:

[tame latch]

Hill. Always take the high ground.

After that with any hulldown tank I like to be behind the ridge of the two center hills. You can fire to the side (far right targets), or north to targets in the center. Or peek-a-boom against targets in town or the hillsides. Then move forward to the next ridgeline and repeat.

If the team goes town I like peeking around the buildings on the west. There’s shots to the n/s, and you can rotate to shoot into town.

[halcyon shell]

Climbing the hill then using your turret armor while you take cover behind some small hills or you can go to town there's a small collapsed building in the corner where you can hulldown

Use consumables like the super speed to climb faster then the enemy heavys giving you time to get better position

[patent cairn]

ok thx guys 🙂

[fossil sandal]

what happened to all the maps that we used to have? It feels like just playing smae maps over and over again.

like am i just trippin or did they rmeove the maps

[dark umbra]

Map rotation?

[tame latch]

Nice!

[sick rapids]

Hello,
Did Blitz remove any maps? I can't find the old ones I used to play 1.5 years ago

[plush field]

Map rotation is stupid idk why they do that now

[shut egret]

creates a false sense of existing maps being "new" whenever they come back into the map pool

however it's adverse affect is producing some of the most diabolical teamplay i have ever seen.

[wild thicket]

Im a fan of map rotations, it helped me better at understanding player antics.

I think for someone who's maybe not completely understanding the nuances if the maps, the map rotations are probably negative.

[plush field]

Maybe that’s the case for me. I get bored of playing a smaller selection of maps when I’m used to playing a wider selection. It gets repetitive a lot quicker but then again I can see how a smaller selection is better for the average player to get accustomed to positioning

[shut egret]

i play CS, im used to seeing the same maps over there constantly, and yet even im bored of map rotations a week after wg does one.

[merry sleet]

When is big boss?

[solemn arrow]

imagine if, like the frozen river would be faster and allow some interesting plays

[twin owl]

they rotate them

[vale robin]

Does anyone else have problems with the railings eating rounds in abandoned factory

[tender hill]

yes, i noticed that awhile ago and have since avoided trying to shoot targets through them

[twin owl]

yeah, they shouldn't even have a hitbox

[slender siren]

Nah I think they should it’s funny

[supple rune]

imagine if there was ice and a loss in grip - could lead to drifting...

[vale wren]

Mirage

[tame latch]

and Lost Temple.

[compact cobalt]

I hate dead rail

[vale hinge]

same

[polar rover]

winter malinovka

[proper breach]

pls Wotb add mirage and lost temple back they were my favourite maps

[vale wren]

Oh yeah

[dusky whale]

Agree...

[sterile compass]

Wg deleted it

[pallid elbow]

Oh noooooo

[sterile compass]

Or it'll come back soon

I miss it too

[subtle sand]

I want bigger maps

[pallid elbow]

Too many masters on

[tame latch]

If they do it will be after the new Unreal game engine is released. There’s no point in reworking a map for DAVA only to turn around and convert it to Unreal. The map team would be busy converting the other maps and adding new features to them, like those shown in the teaser video.

[sterile compass]

What's the unreal game engine

[tame latch]

It’s a newer game framework that would replace our current apps. Apparently it’s popular with indie dev’s but is also used in much larger games. There’s a long list that includes Fortnite, Jedi: Fallen Order, Gears of War, Borderlands and others. “It's popular due to its advanced graphics capabilities, ease of use, and versatility…a comprehensive suite of tools for creating high-quality games. Its features include realistic physics, advanced lighting, and seamless cross-platform support….”

So we will probably see better graphics and changes in game physics, at least. Bug fixes and map development should also be easier. DAVA is ten years old, and the original devs eventually left WG and went back to running their own company. WG has been hiring Unreal staff for a few years for game publishing and, apparently, this conversion.

[sterile compass]

Oki

[quaint bay]

Vineyards best map for me

[manic mango]

Berlin when

[sacred sequoia]

they removed mirage and lost temple or whatever that map is named

[torn mica]

Remove map rotation,it is pointless

[tender hill]

same here, i like how there's multiple positions to choose, for every type of vehicle

[drowsy ibex]

lost temple was cool for me. 😃

[tender hill]

not for me, once the heavies got to their first positions, the game was just a standstill trying to trade,

[drowsy ibex]

I usually try to flank if I can, becuz it to hard to pen from the front. lol

[dreamy wave]

We new maps the same old ones pretty boring. WOT pc has alot of maps why can't blitz be the same

[neon scarab]

What's the draw tomorrow?

[thorny stratus]

WG are currently working on switching to a new game engine, they might add more maps after the change over happens.

[spring sierra]

Is this news true? They will cancel the recovery of tanks is this true?

[viscid field]

Nobody knows for sure, but we are all worried about it due to the unreal engine coming

They wouldn't do it that's my bet...they earn so much money from restoration

[vale hinge]

no

[hollow geyser]

Man if that happens ima have to restore alot of stuff

[dense kraken]

How do they earn money from restoration?

[dense kraken]

Unbalanced spawns

[velvet coral]

What is the current map rotation

[viscid field]

U sell tank, gamble, get nothing, rebuy tank in future for double price

U may not do it, but kids do

[dense kraken]

You mean they lose everything and buy gold with money?

[viscid field]

Yh
Pretty much @dense kraken

[tame latch]

The new rotation begins in February. The maps that will be rotated out haven’t been announced yet but these maps will be returning:

Molendijk
Winter Malinovka
Canal
Dynasty's Pearl
Alpenstadt

[quartz ingot]

I miss some of the old maps.

[steel juniper]

news from himmelsdorf in hd with the castle?

[tame latch]

I haven’t seen any, but I don’t expect new maps until the conversion to the Unreal engine is finished. All the existing maps will have to be converted and it would be easier to just prepare any new maps for Unreal.

There’s no announced date for that but we must be getting closer.

[shrewd nova]

canal and dynasty pearl are yuck

[zinc trout]

Canal is arguably the best map in game

[velvet coral]

OK thanks

[thorny swift]

lol

[shrewd nova]

If you are TD or e100 camping on hill near spawn. Getting hit because you are spotted on start before you can reach left or right side is very fun

[zinc trout]

There are plenty of positions for TDs to get to without being spotted lol

[shrewd nova]

It sucks for everyone who isnt a TD

[zinc trout]

It really doesn’t

[eager owl]

I rly miss it

Old blitz

Well not that old, its 2020

Dude these maps are too small for 10vs10

Wg we need bigger maps right now

[trim osprey]

Nice pfp

[hushed abyss]

Pls remove dead rail and faust

[tame latch]

Up to WG, not me.

I’ve figured out ways to make those maps work. Dynasty Pearl too, but it’s a lot more work for me. That one is not my favorite.

There’s some good map guides that helped me. Just type “Wot Blitz” and the map name into the You Tube search and you’ll see a few. Some of the CC’s and yt’ers have some good tips.

[plush field]

Once again I am asking to please remove mines from T8+

[hushed abyss]

Yeah, ofc there are ways to make every map work, but there are just maps which are not fun to play, such as dead rail.
@tame latch

[cursive latch]

I hate desert sands

[quartz ingot]

I love dead rail... just saying

[ancient mantle]

me two

[dense kraken]

If there’s even just two TDs it makes the whole experience miserable

[quartz ingot]

What, you don’t like hunting those two TDs?

[dense kraken]

It becomes a stalemate

[quartz ingot]

Nah

[quaint bay]

exactly I was going med side and I got rushed by a t49, t77 cannonball, and a astron Rex, IN THE FIRST MINUTE AND A HALF

[onyx ether]

I see censorship is rife in this server…. The game is stale as hell due to the massive imbalances.

It’s a waste of time playing this now, tactics are meaningless against OP tanks and pay to win

[primal peak]

No you're just bad

[autumn garden]

(That person left)

[cursive latch]

The only imbalance i encountered is team difference

[quartz ingot]

Totally agree

[quartz ingot]

Tactics are always valid - if enough players on a team can figure them out together on the fly

Won a game recently where I chose to sacrifice. 6 tanks went hard left, ignoring their flank. Red had 4 tanks that direction and 3 on our flank. I stood hull down in the way of those three and held them long enough to keep them off of the 6. Got killed by the three eventually, but bought enough time for the rest of the team.

[zealous crown]

There are many great tech tree tanks, but ultimately it's either skill, tactics or luck that wins the game. The only exception is maybe if you have a platoon with two autoloaders and you trust each other to focus kill reds one at a time.

[pallid kayak]

Sadly, not everybody plays by this idea, however, it’s great to hear of other people doing the same.
Personally I get annoyed when people don’t understand how to play the type of tank depending on the maps, and I only get actually annoyed when they play the opposite way that they are supposed to on the map

Otherwise, it’s a great time on all maps, especially when you have teammates who know how to hold their side when outnumbered/push when they outnumber the reds

[pallid kayak]

This I fully agree with, because personally I don’t spend any money, nor do I play any of the super OP tanks per teir, and even then, each tank is made in a way that most tanks, if not all, when played right, can beat each and every other tank in the game, tech tree or premium

[agile kite]

We need larger maps

[normal vigil]

True

[night sandal]

If you want that kind of crap, go play normal WoT where it's 15v15 and artillery

[inland canopy]

[cobalt osprey]

really love this map and it's amazing td position where you can't even hide the turret so u just get shot from 3 different directions while u try to hide from one

[plush field]

Mines at tier 10

[shut egret]

Delete mines

[dark umbra]

Remove mines forever

[dark umbra]

Or rework it and make it bigger

[jagged veldt]

Remove mines from t1-7, leave only for 8-10

[shut egret]

i feel more or less it deserves a shot at being reworked, as most problems with the map come down to the size of the map and less the concept of the map

A: one spawn side has preferable positioning / elevated positioning to allow for faster deployment

B: a lot of area on the map is useless (cough, the lighthouse island) but otherwise wouldn't if the map was larger and camo ratings on light tanks / their viewrange could be more properly used

C: the town being absolutely useless to push past and providing zero reason to be there outside the caps

D: the hill, like the spawns, also being more usable for northern spawn side over the other

[cobalt osprey]

mines gotta be the worst map to ever exist on the game yet, it's actually horrible for any light tank, meds with no armor and tds

the only tanks that can perform good in it are hulldown tanks with good turret armor

[zinc trout]

Dead rail is worse

[cobalt osprey]

I find it easy to play maybe just the td positions are bad

[broken hamlet]

No

[broken hamlet]

No

[broken hamlet]

Mines isn't bad it just isn't as good as in normal wot because it's smaller but the mines is a good and an og map

Question are you dumb or can you not read

Go on read more

U dumb

? What do you mean

Lil ? Ann one question when did you start playing wot and wotb

I asked when did you start playing them not about something in wot

[plain ivy]

Dead rail is an Og map as well, but it's still horrid

[autumn garden]

Dead rail always ends up with a hull-down contest for the meds

[broken hamlet]

I took a comparison and you got mad that i took it

I said that aswell but i just pointed out why it is worse but it doesn't make it suck

[cobalt osprey]

I think it depends on the playstyle because that almost never happens for me, if I have enough gun depression at the med side I use it but if I don't then I just go behind the rock behind big hill and use that as cover while trying shoot other enemies and it always works unless i'm outnumbered by a ton like 2 to 4

[autumn garden]

Yeah…

[feral olive]

You're playing your tank wrong, terrible camo rating and you decide to snipe on mines

[feral olive]

You think that because thats the only thing you know how to do on mines

going island is actually quite viable

Mines is one of the only asymetrical maps in the game so each side has different tactics

there have been some reworks but they were rejected, even when they made the map bigger

if you're curious about that, this video shows 2 rejected mines reworks at 2:30 and 4:50 https://youtu.be/8BNIrI7STRw

Anyways I will draw a tactical map of mines one min

[dark umbra]

Remove it then

[dark umbra]

And 4005 have decent camo

[feral olive]

basic map of mines, north spawn is offensive and south spawn is defensive

[feral olive]

It's the tallest tier X tank how can you even say that

[dark umbra]

And?

With ur logic minotauro should have more camo than other TDs

[feral olive]

It's not a sniper, it's an ambush or support tank

[cobalt osprey]

you can't do anything else other than sniping on a small map with no other place to support, u can try going near the bottom of the hill to support but once someone w turret armor peeks you're not gonna be doing anything. I shouldn't be playing the tank differently just cause the map design isn't suitable for it but all other TDS
FV4005 can snipe without a problem at the blue spawn TD spots but it cannot at red.

[quick ledge]

ewwww, who play city on mines, you have to really hate your teammates

[shrewd prism]

Never push past encounter cap

[nimble prawn]

Je b agaacccc b l itz

[shut egret]

why are you suggesting pushing past cap for north spawn, thats a genuine death sentence

[cursive latch]

😨

[verbal hedge]

Czemu tak agresywnie xd?

[plush field]

The whole map is miserable to play on at T10 personally

[shut egret]

Not really, it's only miserable if you have the north spawn, same with north spawn on vineyards

[haughty spear]

Mines is claustrophobic to play. Everything seems too small and narrow to play.

[plush field]

For how interesting combat at T10 can be there are very limited areas of conflict. It’s far too small of a map to offer a variety of genuinely interesting combat situations like some of the others can.

[feral olive]

Depends on the situation of course

[dense heart]

👍

[mellow zealot]

I wish they could upscale all the maps by about %50, it'd open up the possibility for better plays and much more fun matches that hopefully wouldn't 7:0 in 2 minutes

[twin owl]

I think it would require a huge rework, and it would still never be a great map, even if they got rid of all the most glaring issues, It would always just be 3 large, seperated, corridor areas, and the weird top area

If they completely reimagined how gameplay on the map worked, maybe it would be ok, but at that point it would just be easier to start from scratch, and leave mines for low-tier (where it is a good map imo)

Mines on pc is pretty much like you described, lighthouse is viable and lights use it to spot without being spotted, but that doesn't really help the gameplay out

I mean, it makes it slightly better for lights, but makes heavy and medium gameplay terrible

[shut egret]

the absolute minimum wg can do is just make the map larger

an absolute rework would be fine but im more or less saying what can be done to make the insufferable current gameplay loop of the map a little less insufferable

[steel sigil]

Remove mines..

[dark umbra]

rework it

[safe tree]

Can the devs remove and stop making invisible barriers that make it impossible to climb? A lot of people enjoy climbing in training rooms.

[vale hinge]

REMOVE DEAD RAIL

That's literally one of the best maps in the game

And one of the only maps where teams have to go both sides, as well as being one of the only maps with crossfire

I would have an idea how to return all the old maps. It's great that you returned some of them, but why return all of them or the game wouldn't be able to handle it? The more maps, the more fun and players. Who knows, maybe even those who ran away because of the deer spoiling the game will return

[tender hill]

what do you mean by return them? are you talking about the 2 removed maps or are you talking about map rotation?

[acoustic adder]

https://youtu.be/eYA2D_bxaxM?si=NP3TJyJ3eNp154Ya BRING BACK LOST TEMPLE PLEASE 😭

[feral olive]

lost temple didnt work because the temple was way too powerful and the cross fire capabilities weren't sufficient to make the hills/med side worth going to

[feral olive]

They should just remove the silly unrealistic maps like Dy(nasty)s pearl, new bay and faust. unnatural terrain does not work with tanks.

that way we wouldnt need to rotate

[feral olive]

Black goldville is a pretty terrible map as the town is completely useless so tanks are forced up 3 alleyways on the med side

Canyon is an awkward map but I personally think it's good as it forces your team to disperse and hold middle for spotting + corners for crossfire on middle

I remember canal with rain back in the days
Why did they removed it

[opaque bramble]

Why are most maps terrible
Three corridors rule - 3 lanes (usually "heavy flank", "medium flank" and "no man's land") that are detached from one another, so for example it's difficult to back off from 1 to 3 or support your team there, applies to all of them.
Players go into pre-planned areas, to fight as WG intended, without the risk of having to engage with the open world and making bad choices, because the corridor is linear. Flanking possibilities are closed, so they don’t have to worry about anything that isn’t in front of their tank. There's only one choice - forward.
Additionally, since there’re many broken tanks - plenty players decide to play TDs, so they don’t have to engage them. This is why TD perches are so busted in terms of map coverage and it’s difficult to approach them. Average player doesn’t want to follow the team in a TD and readjust his position. He wants to sit and boom tanks.
I suppose it’s all psychological. This is the design that’s scientifically the best suited for an average player and making sure his experience is fun, even if he plays mindlessly.

However, this design has a major flaw. The less complex the map’s network, the more repetitive the battles. This leads to players feeling bored and quitting the game. If you look at the battle results of an average player, it’s not like he performs any better on modern, corridor maps. He possibly performs even worse and feels frustration or helplessness, as good players learned to abuse linear maps and repetitive battles.

I hope someone from WG reads this and makes another masterpiece like canal or winter malinovka. There’s hardly anyone who dislikes these maps, even though they’re quite complex and require a thoughtful play.

[vale hinge]

totally not copied from chems

[solid escarp]

what was that sandy map that had a massive steep hill on one corner of the map that could climb

[tender hill]

what you're describing sounds to me like the O.G "oasis palms" map but i think it had a different name back then

[feral olive]

Yep old oasis palms, map felt huge because of the elevation differences

[feral olive]

I much prefer the older copperfield, they reworked and it was so bad they had to restrict it to tier 7

atleast on the old one, the medium side is not seperated by a single pipe, and there is actual foilage and good terrain to use

[feral olive]

It's honestly also partly the players. Rushing one side seems to always be the tactic and since maps are small and almost entirely without crossfire, it works.

[tender hill]

it's not that wg forces players, they give areas on the map that suited for each type of vehicles and over time players start to figure out what positions are important to control. i don't know if you remember the first version winter malinovka map, it felt like the same size but the elevations were steeper, and back then every battle consisted of all players brawling it out at the windmill corner because it was a powerful position, so it was 7v7 just ridge peaking. then they finally reworked it into its current version

[rocky sandal]

<@&481447501690568709>

I believe it was the same name. It would be good to see those old versions back in training rooms or for the Reforged Vintage tanks. Mirage and Lost Temple would be great to see again.

Speaking of repetitive - map rotation. Almost everyone hates it, doesn’t really help new players. All it does is make battles repetitive/boring…… here we go…… same map over & over again.

I agree on canal and winter malinovka it definitely is more complex and require more skilled thinking…flanking is possible and constant readjustment to stay alive makes game funner

Question, how does N90 travel across the map without getting shot at, at the beginning of the game? If I do the same I swear the enemy team would run a train on me. He traveled in the middle of the map in one game. Then he ran into flag A and stood on it in that train yard map. I do the same I swear I get 💥🔥💥🔥☠️☠️☠️.

[tame latch]

I assume he did that with an enviable mastery of cover and concealement. Or at least I envy it. Being able to get into position, shoot an enemy in the rear and get away without anyone knowing that you were ever there is so much fun and so hard to do.

[mellow flower]

At the beginning of each game, he travels across open spaces that have gotten me 💥🔥☠️💥🔥☠️. I see him do it and nothing happens to him omg.

[tame latch]

As a veteran he probably has maxed his crew skills and has an extra 21% added to his camo rating. Add in every other concealment bonus, including the Concealment in Movement ability of lights, and you can be pretty hard to see. The rest is probably keeping some objects between enemy locations and himself, plus a good amount of luck.

[lofty bough]

I am quite surprised of the results. What is great about Himmelsdorf? Yes, that's is the only map I dislike.

[tender hill]

it's not my favorite but also not at the bottom of my list, I prefer elevation changes for ridge fighting but I don't mind the fighting areas on himmelsdorf, my least favorite is port bay

[lofty bough]

I was mostly suprised how popular Himmelsdorf is. I like terrains, elevation and dislike towns that end up being HP-trading dead-traps, IMHO

[modern maple]

Himmelsdorf is very balanced both in terms of spawns and in terms of sides, so I guess that‘s why it‘s popular. Positive has been advertising Himmelsdorf as the best map for years now as well, so that might have had an influence in the poll.

Either way, I prefer hilly terrain and irregular maps that are only mirrored between the spawns, thus I chose Desert Sands. Himmelsdorf is pretty bland because no matter where you play, the gameplay is the same

[feral olive]

Its the only urban map in the game that actually works thanks to semi-natural terrain with the rubble humps and bomb craters and lack of split heavy medium sides. Mid game to late game is great and there is always an angle of attack you can take.

[plush aspen]

Why do so many players in heavy tanks insist on camping in tank destroyer positions ,so annoying

[lofty wave]

My favorite is map is Mirage, they need to bring it back

[plush field]

Because I can

[plush aspen]

@plush field do you do when tank destroys are there as well trying to hide?

[plush field]

Oh yes I also make sure to block them because clearly I am entitled to the position 😤

[kindred scaffold]

To be honest, it offers really well balanced gameplay for both sides. Not to mention, it's not that large hulldown sh!tshow as on other maps, because each position is counterable.
I am not denying that there are hulldown positions are on Himmel - But again, there are counterable. - Which I can't tell about other maps.
And that is problem with other maps, they are being designed in way to be just hulldown maps and gives insane advantage.

• Also again Three corridor rule lol...

[plush field]

Mines doesn’t belong any higher than tier 6

I could accept tier 8 but no higher

[shut egret]

wotb players brains would explode if old stalingrad was added to blitz

[lofty bough]

I know this is controversial take, but I like the Mines map. But it’s brutal when your team doesn’t know how to play it or the teams have clear misbalance of strong turret tanks

[plush field]

lol dw I talk trash abt the map but I’m civil enough to have a discussion about it

The thing is that it doesn’t offer flexibility in repositioning or making plays compared to other maps because of its small size.

The screenshot I posted obviously is selective with my team but on other larger maps I’d at least be able to find a few other positions to get a chance to get more fire into the enemy

And ultimately forget winning or losing, but just playing the map is EXTREMELY stale

[lofty bough]

I agree. It’s a map where the coming back is pretty difficult if the enemy takes the hill and the ridge. It’s just a downward spiral from there.

[lofty bough]

Lol, I confess I like many “hull-down-shit-show” maps. For me taking advantage of the terrain is core to the gameplay. 😳 I still miss longer battles that were not 2min steamrolls.

[kindred scaffold]

I think, probably thats why people hate those.
And not voting for them a lot.

[lofty bough]

Btw. I have really enjoyed the 10 vs 10 mode. Battles are longer and more balanced. A single noob dying at the first 40 sec matters less.

[torpid citrus]

[humble ibex]

what are best places to hide in maps with a SU 152

i am sick of getting killed

[jovial minnow]

Same

[mossy wave]

Wish the "favorite map" poll was more of a "community tier list" thing. A lot of maps that are still good are nobody's favorite.

[mossy wave]

That question is waaaaaaay too open-ended. It entirely depends on the map, the spawn, what the other team is doing, and in some cases, the map just isn't good at all for a tank like the SU.

[mossy wave]

So many LT players do this... Forget maps being locked to tiers, if you're win % is under 40, you should be barred from higher than tier 6.

It's always a premium or collector tank that the player got for free, too. It's why the Destiny angers me. You can't just give away tier 9s, and if you do, they should be inaccessible until a certain win % or battle count, or the MM should only pair them up with others with skill levels that low. But since they don't, 95% of Destiny tanks are basically a bot and are a free kill for the enemy team.

[low lodge]

Same thing with 95% of KV-2 and 183b players

[tender hill]

are you playing it with the derp gun for luls or the 122mm?

[plush field]

Bro trust me, most of the player base are 40%ers. Even if they’re trash we need them otherwise we’d be waiting forever for matches 😂

But your point of WG giving away high tier vehicles easily is true. It’s ridiculous but they get money from it, I highly doubt we’ll see anything change regarding that.

Rework Mirage for being able to be played on supremacy mode and re add it

Mirage and Lost Temple will return after Reforged is released. Not at the beginning, but later sometime. Wargaming hasn't said anything yet about which modes they will be available in.

[marble spoke]

Anything more cool that Will comeback?

[tame latch]

Wargaming has been working on changes to Himmelsdorf and had released early pictures of it. That's going to be another late arrival.

[tender hill]

i don't understand why so many have "drunk goggles" for mirage, it offers nothing for any tank types other than ones with big view ranges

[median cypress]

So bad casual kid borderlands-valorant-fortnite-overwatch look. So sad ^_^

[low lodge]

I would agree with that

[versed garnet]

How do I position myself if I play destroyers? I can't seem to win a single game with them

[tame latch]

Like other tank classes, that will depend on the armor, mobility and gun of the TD. While the AMX CDA 105 and the Tortoise are both TD's, the playstyles you can use with them are different.

For some basics you could watch this and other YouTube videos on TD's or on the TD you play. While some are older, the basics don't change.

GuidesBlitz.Com also has reviews and tips for some TD's.

narrow it down to a td and a couple maps, then we can make suggestions

[pallid kayak]

I was gonna say, if you don’t like snipping, then if playing heavy armored TDs, I’d say go with the heavys, and if playing a faster TD with less armor, go with meds

Just play a bit more towards the back line of your allies and you should be able to get shots, play agro when needed, but still have cover to not get nuked

It was the eussian su 85b and literally every map. I found my problem tho my positioning was azz

[loud robin]

[tame latch]

Bushes show you where to blindshot that pesky td. They can use them to stay hidden, but after a while you'll know which bushes td's often use. If nothing else is going on spending a free ap shell can pay off.

[low lodge]

That’s one of the things that Reforged should allow. Hopefully we’ll see larger maps after it’s released and stabilized

[worldly frost]

Without bushes, you can actually see the TD, though.

[worldly frost]

You definitely camp dude. 🤓

[tame latch]

TD's, and lights doing passive spotting, don't want to be seen. Everyone plays those classes sooner or later.

One of the better moments in Blitz is when you shoot a red tank in the back and get away without ever being seen. Not the easiest thing to do, but with a good understanding of cover and concealment you will be doing it too.

Here's a link that will get you started. There's some good YT videos on cover and concealment too. https://wargaming.net/support/en/products/wotb/article/15414/

[torn pelican]

So it has been what, 3 to 4 years since the introduction of new maps and the removal of two beloved maps? Are there any plans on adding new maps to the mix? If I'm not mistaken, removing Mirage and Lost Temple was only being done to revamp the maps, or at least that was the initial plan.

And what is the news on the potential release date of reforged? Do we know yet?

[plucky token]

is it bad to go all right side on Rockfield from southeast spawn?

we were in ratings, top rated guy (5619) asked "all right?" i (4945) go "yes", then we were chewed out by the most experienced guy (3685 but 110k battles) saying we should l2p before playing ratings

we went 3 left 4 right, enemy team went 2 left 5 right, and we got destroyed

[torn pelican]

In my experience yet humble opinion, I have not only seen but personally played rockfield where if you are playing a supremacy game the best setup is to take a and b. I honestly do not understand why the meta in today's game is to all head to the med side.

[torn pelican]

The lack of experience and knowledge most individuals in the game show today in properly assessing and implementing a plan of attack on certain maps in correlation with your team's makeup of tanks, is due to the fact that wargaming has made it extremely easy for the most inexperienced of players to be able to play at high level tiers without having to gain the knowledge and experience of gameplay by having to grind lines like I had to, starting over a decade ago with my first account. The knowledge gained from playing at the lower levels, or at least you would hope individuals gain knowledge, would be able to help them on maps in your specific circumstance.

For me personally being over a 4000 rating and ratings with people who have a few hundred battles when I have nearly 40,000 in my primary account, just shows how wargaming has dropped the ball on limiting newer players where they need to learn the maps that are played in addition to the tanks that they use.

[unreal finch]

city maps are very bad for td. nowhere to camp and it forces you to close combat.

[latent echo]

All hail the king🙄

[crystal mantle]

The thing is, if they do a full sweep of base C, the other team can’t snipe them from A, and they have the C hill advantage then they become almost untouchable. If the A Basers try to take B, then they come under fire. If the C base trys taking B, then they spot the A Base snipers/hull downs, but you can’t hide your armour from both high AND low grond AND shoot at the same time. Plus, due to the fact that they only went C, they would have lost 1/2 tanks, while removing all enemy tanks, so even if nither side takes B, C will still have the advantage

[low lodge]

And I would never go A cap on Rockfield. Unless you are playing as a tournament group your team won’t know where to setup properly and you get ripped apart in cross shots. The cover on that side requires proper planning g which doesn’t happen in pub or Rating battles

[plucky token]

sounds like there's no consensus about rockfield...?

[crystal mantle]

General consensus is that Base C is better

[torn pelican]

Lmao. Never claimed to be one nor am I close to being one of the best. The fact that you feel the need to even comment like this shows a lack of character on your part.

[earnest spruce]

It's probably bait, don't engage in it. I agree with your statement, having a team composed of only 1 or 2 actually skilled players, 4 inexperienced ones, and at LEAST one AFK is definitely a headache.

[latent echo]

He bit twice :)

[pallid kayak]

Ima hop in with this- I agree with what most people have said, in pub/rating med side is better, as you don’t have to worry about crossfire as much.
If your whole team but one or two guys heads heavy side, it’s then a matter of map awareness, you watch to see if 3-4+ of the other team is on med side, if so then you know you got numbers and you can push

[timber mist]

dead rail sucks, TD’s control the map. The only place TD’s can’t hit you is on heavy hill, anywhere else gets beamed on my TD’s. I have also played TD’s on the map, and it’s so brain dead. All I did was click the fire button and win with a high damage game. Make the map have cover from spots on the left corner TD spots.

Also the same thing for Campstilla, except one spawn gets a flat unfair advantage over the other

[spare rapids]

I love taking lights up into the hills on Dead Rail and getting a TD from behind. (I have not got beyond Tier VII, so take that with a grain of salt.)

[gloomy zinc]

Good medium wins the flanks and start attack from the side/behind before HT and TD even move out of their spawn. The current meta is everyone sits in the spawn area and waits for that first aggressive tank to yolo into enemy spawn and dies within first 60 seconds.

[tacit yoke]

yea dead rails is easily in the top2 maps that needs to urgently be removed from high tier battles
TDs in the heavy-side corner can legit see the whole map lmao

[humble tiger]

I'd love to have some suggestions on how to play Canyon. I don't seem to get it. The key seems to be to have someone spotting on the hill in the middle, but it's a very damn dangerous position to hold if your team doesn't support

Mirage and Lost Temple returning in Reforged was said by no name just luck on the RU/UA Discord server when Reforged was introduced. A translation was posted on reddit.

I searched that server, finding many of the translated comments, until the reddit post was confirmed as accurate.

Not all the current maps may be present when Reforged is released, with the remainder arriving later. Mirage, Lost Temple, and the reworked Himmeldorf will also be introduced at some later point.

[tacit yoke]

Castilla and winter malinovka are fine there is no reason to ban these i think

however mine is factually too small for t10 tanks, and dead rails is big enough but has massive conception issues :

• the TD are way too overpowered, they have view angles on every sides of the maps, so the experience when you play heavy medium is so frustating and ruined
• this map has nothing to offer for light tank
• the cap is a no man's land, located right below the medside

[tacit yoke]

Also I believe that there is one point that we barely talk about but that can be really frustating : in t10 not all maps are adapted to light tanks

like some maps are totally fine, but honestly unplayable if you have a light tank : himmelsdorf and port bay for example

Every tank (except the Helsing and the Sheridian's missile) can shoot from one corner of the map to the other corner. The fastest light would spot everybody in spawn, the rest of that team would fire, and the battle would be over very quickly.

We need hills, buildings and rocks to hide behind and be sneaky. You can learn how to use them yourself in You-Tube videos and this support article: https://wargaming.net/support/en/products/wotb/article/15414/

Some time after the change to Reforged. So far WG has said there will be 11 maps on release, with the rest also coming later. In general, there's a lot of work being done on Reforged and no one is giving exact dates.

To the Devs: did i just found the road to heaven

[astral niche]

That's a long worm

[royal tide]

Do you mean the big serpent that comes out when you hit the window

[astral niche]

Yeah

[tame latch]

It could be the worm graphic glitching. I'm not too sure about the bicycle path next to it though.

[timber mist]

Well I’m just saying… on Campstilla one map gets 3 wide TD spots that is across 1 throughout its whole spawn. Which is the top spawn on the mini map. Not to mention meds can shoot the exposed heavy hill, and heavy’s can shoot the exposed med side Hill unless going low or fully wide. It’s like Dead rail where TD’s can hit almost every side of the map at every angle.

[hidden needle]

honestly quite a few maps in upper tier need a rework, either enhanced, or enlarged, one other thing and idk if this is the right place, but in terms of the game would it be possible to get a view range indicator similar to wot pc? given we for 1 do not know the map size and for 2 its hard to reference view range with unknown variables

[plush field]

mines

mines

In case it wasn’t obvious

mines

[hidden needle]

lmao yes i was referencing mines in t8+

[tepid snow]

I am willing to sarcrifice Deadrail , Campstilla and Mines to revive Lost Temple

[tame latch]

Be patient and it will come back on it's own, sometime after Reforged goes live.

[plush field]

I am willing to sacrifice Mines at t8+ for nothing

Take it away for free please thank you

[mental mica]

Exactly lol

[wild comet]

I think this is because some servers might not updated properly, so this caused this map corruption with present map ig

[knotty quartz]

morningstarlily has been warned.

[teal mortar]

get the deadrails away from me, can't do anything aggressive as a med without getting bombarded by td's that are far away at heavy side

[rigid sundial]

Need Map editor

Why not add a forest map? Like a lot of trees bushes

Feature to the Game

Dear Wargaming Team,

As an active and passionate player of your games — especially World of Tanks Blitz — I truly appreciate the constant updates and new content that keep the game engaging and dynamic.

I would like to kindly submit a suggestion for your consideration:

Suggestion: Introduce a Map Editor feature that allows players to create custom maps. These maps can then be reviewed, tested, and potentially added to seasonal rotations based on community feedback and approval.

Why this feature would be valuable:

1. Each season could bring fresh, creative, and unpredictable battle environments.

2. It would boost community engagement by involving players in content creation.

3. It would add replayability and uniqueness to each match.

4. Including the creator’s name on accepted maps would encourage participation and give recognition to dedicated fans.

This feature has been successfully implemented in many popular games and has proven to increase player satisfaction and game longevity. I believe Wargaming has the potential to take this even further, making it a standout feature in the genre.

Thank you for your continued innovation and attention to community feedback. I hope this idea can be reviewed by your development team and possibly considered for future implementation.

Kind regards,

What is the idea of a Map editor?

[autumn garden]

WoTB isn't exactly made for this...

[rigid sundial]

Even if it's not created, I think it's necessary.

[round anvil]

I rather have mines instead 🤤

[plush field]

🔫 no

[tacit yoke]

I think there isnt even a proper map rotation in the first place, so it needs to be fixed first and i dont understand why the map rotation is so random and Sketchy on wotb... And good idea for map creator. Maybe with unreal engine it will be easier, who knows. I think the main obstacle is to have such options for mobile players

On top of that, i wanted to say,
I'd do a lot of crazy things just to have a bigger minimap in the game on pc. Like its really ridiculous, i play on a 27 inches screens and the minimap is just so small even at its maximum size 💔🥀 i guess it shouldnt be a big work to just allow us to have a bigger minimap for big screens

[raven flame]

that should be ur profile pic

[spark wadi]

God, why people even do that in E100

[royal tide]

Fr every time I see an E100 camping like a TD, they thinking playing on
Jg.Pz. E100

[spark wadi]

Isn't that thing a frontliner aswell

Both E100s are meant for the frontline battles, not camping Jesus christ

Wth is this map

[red lake]

Fact u have no camo on says all I need to know

[plush field]

he has a bright future as one of mine if he so wishes

[mental mica]

Speed boost
No prammo by the looks of 72 standard
Probably just won his way into T8

[buoyant tendon]

I do not like putting camos because most of them are like anime and they suck.I prefer not putting camos because they look like they were just the way they were in Ww2

[supple lily]

Put the camos u can get with silver they look ok

[red lake]

You literally drive around with a debuff at all times

[low lodge]

Put a camo on for the added concealment and turn off camo viewing in settings. You get the benefit of the camo without having to look at it. That’s a Win Win

[buoyant tendon]

What kind of camos should I add?

[low lodge]

It doesn’t matter if you can’t see them

[solar flower]

The lack of maps is definitely an issue when so few are user friendly with the 4 classes of tanks we have we dont have the 5th one spg so i dont see how map desighn falls so flat on it face wither all tank classes exsplicly on td tanks that have very little armor and speed with fixed cannons

[tacit yoke]

Yea

[quaint bay]

delete deadrail

[solemn arrow]

make deadrail shows twice as frequent

[plucky spade]

delete this guy and mines at tier 9 and 10 while youre at it

[finite walrus]

Remove New Bay (?) from the Game

[astral niche]

It's a good map

[finite walrus]

It's not, it genuinely sucks, especially light side

[solemn burrow]

you're supposed to go to light side 😭

New map update?

[languid lynx]

[acoustic adder]

I want this map back 😭

[tame latch]

It will be coming back in Reforged, but after the initial release.

[acoustic adder]

oh ok and also thanks for helping me to fix my discord account

[broken hamlet]

The memories

[thorn steppe]

Lol

[tacit yoke]

A lot of maps have lost their relief overtime, sadly
Same for rockfield, oasis palm, desert sands...

[finite vine]

Actually it was announced that they are coming back (Old Winter Malinovka, Lost Temple and Mirage) in the next update.

[tame latch]

no name just luck just presented the graphics today and said there would be more details in a coming soon video tomorrow.

Maybe with the next update, maybe later. We'll find out tomorrow.

[raven flame]

Desert sands? I love the current one

[spark wadi]

What the heck

[cloud basin]

Got it.

[strong willow]

Well i was not there when old malinovka was removed how the old and new diffrent

[unreal tree]

hello

[plush field]

The old one has more extreme elevation between locations

[low lodge]

Most battles were a big rush for the windmill to control the high ground corner

[low lodge]

Lots of killing lanes if you don’t watch out

[unborn sentinel]

?

[strong willow]

Daam this map had unfrozen lake

[tacit yoke]

dream this map with frozen lake but the tanks have a lower adherence when they drive on the ice

[lunar hamlet]

What maps are suitable for heavy tanks? Or does each map have its own position for heavies?

[strong willow]

i guess town maps are mostly suitable for heavy tanks.

[lunar hamlet]

You're right! I tried the middleburg town map and it's very effective for heavies, it's also become my favorite map when playing heavies.

[pallid kayak]

It all comes down to what kind of heavy tank, generally town maps will work best for good sidescraping heavys, like the German ones.
But it may be less effective for heavys who are meant to play hull down, and only show you their turret. For those tanks you want to find some good hills that you can play behind and use to hide most of your tank

[lunar hamlet]

Like T29 does it have to be hull down? I like different types of heavy tanks and you are absolutely right about hull down because I have a hard time using heavy tanks that have to hide behind hills.

[pallid kayak]

Have to be, not against low tiers. If you want to get the most out of the tank, yes. Even just being slightly hulldown can help.
Most American and USSR heavys are generally best played hulldown, as they have a lot of turret armor but not as much hull armor

[lunar hamlet]

But can these tanks be used for sidescraping as well or is it absolutely hull down?

[pallid kayak]

Some can, many however will do much worse at it because of a few things
The USSR IS - IS3 - etc line has the issue of a triangle front plate, which means when you go to sidescrape they are able to shoot straight through that piece and you don’t help yourself at all.
The American Yoh line has the wacky turret placement, it’s put at a spot where you still put yourself at a good risk when you peak.

Most tanks in American/USSR can be used for both, but will be less effective at one than the other. These lines have better turrets for playing hulldown then say the German heavys, but they lack the same amount of armor on the hull to sidescrape with as those same German heavys
