The other maps that tick me off are purely because they are inappropriate to high tier tanks. Either too small or too predictable or just plain stupid campfests (Yes, Mines I do mean you.

The way Copperfield works out is you can't relatively jump between them that easily. Yes you can jump down from A to B, but doing so means you'll have to spend a lot of time getting back up to A or C. The Main reason though is likely just because the map itself is so small in general

brazen pine
@chilly ibex @pseudo pike that's actually possible on other maps as well. Most buildings with a flat surface can either be rammed straight into or twisted into, both need speed.
Once after my team had it in the bag, I went in there, stuck the back of my Dracula turret out the side, and asked the enemy to shoot me. The last enemy and my three teammates quit shooting for a minute or two just staring at me. They did pick up where they left off after that.

fervent summit
Yeah I wish they brought back old maps such as the raised desert maps again. The raised maps where good if TDs didn’t camp all the time but to solve this WG could just raise areas that are outside of the spawn area so it encourages TDs to move around. Plus it is just more realistic I guess. Also the match maker should be +2 -2 because you have to really apply skill when ur the bottom and that make for funner games.

noobs that says im too slow and go alone in middleburg's city??
brazen pine
@copper hearth yes, but some people probably use them in regular battles. I do not, but if some random person does it, wg needs to know so they can make an accurate decision whether it's worth fixing or whether it really is just a harmless, fun glitch that people rarely do outside of TR.
potent goblet
I can't exactly fault the heavy for going alone in middleburg.. to an extent. Some slow tanks are pretty much screwed if they're the only slow tank. By time they go up hill their team will either be dead, or probably moving down towards town unless by some chance the enemy is holding on hill. The amount of times ive been the only slow tank, spending forever to make it up to the hill just for the team to all rush off again to all flank as one to the other side of the map again is so demoralizing.
brazen pine
I can fault that heavy. He has a much better chance at winning on the hill with his team than in town by himself
You're not even supposed to ever go town on middleburg (according to many many super unicums I've met, "town is never right")
jolly zephyr
All i have to say to that is BET
mellow sluice
potent goblet
I don't mind town on middleburg. Depends on context though. Team comp, game mode, etc.
I'm usually not a speedy tank (surprisingly been playing meds a bit more lately though) but having 4 slow tanks, 3 speedy tanks going against a team of almost all speedy tanks. I've won more times in town than going hill with that setup. Usually our 3 speedy tanks rush up hill, get steamrolled and then our 4 slow tanks are about 75% up the hill with little to no cover and getting over run. It's not to say i've won every game we go town though. Most the time though if we have a that kinda setup and everybody goes town, (especially on supremacy) and enemy team goes hill, we'll crush them so long as team doesn't try to take hill after locking down town.
copper hearth
A TOG 2 going up the hill,.... A T95 going up the hill.... that is very slow

I dont think -2/+2 is a good idea.. but bringing back old style maps would add some life. Port Bay is in desperate need a rework, i hate Pearl Dynasty’s medium area.

pseudo pike
That must be very annoying but at the same time super fun
brazen pine
@pseudo pike I think it is one of the worst maps because there is only one right way to go. The heavy side is useless. It can get sniped really easily, the heavies cannot exit that area without having the chance of being sniped, and the only advantage of going that area may be having slightly more control of the B cap. Plus if I get a team full of heavies, they are likely to not listen to me, just driving the direction their tanks are pointed. Middleburg is like this too, but at least it has full control of A, B, and the encounter cap circles. That way, if my team is full of people who can do decently who just don't turn their tanks, we get a better advantage than on Black Goldville town.
There are other maps where one route is better or much better than another, but black Goldville is annoying because ppl actually go the route that gives them a disadvantage, unlike mines, where there is pretty much only one right way, and practically everyone heads there.

Mines, or any map that leads to "HIll to win" tactic(s).
we got more heavies? Hill. we don't have much speedies than the other team had? Still to the Hill.
potent goblet
For mines i find you don't need hill, just make sure the enemy pays a big enough of a price when they try to take it. Have a presence right up but not over extending on the hill, enemy will try to push but every time they try they get a face and side full of alpha. Then if you know you've hit em and are holding them enough, send a couple tanks towards one side to go around and flank. When the stragglers go to deal with the flankers, start going over.
Problem though, is hoping your team doesn't yolo to the hill and get mowed down because they yoloed to the hill.
lilac vector
wispy cosmos
this is true
brazen pine
@potent goblet yes, while the hill isn't necessary, it is necessary to keep the enemy from controlling it, which is why the middle of the map is the correct way to go

@faint cave well mines is not so common in high tiers maybe once every 20 games you will get it

is the map rotation tier based? ihave have only played on 3 maps

If you play tier 5 you only get a certain number of maps sadly and tier 6 and up gets every map that's out.

lttb has no gun depression tho

So with speed you can spot and run then hit them in their week spot.
When your fast enough people with slow derp guns and slow shots can't hit you.
Like hellcat t28 proto and heavy tanks with slow turrents
They can't aim fast enough so your basically invincible

raw lagoon
There has been something I been struggling to understand about castillia
If the majority your team is heavies/tank destroyers and they head towards the heavy side of the map, and you as a light tank or medium would be no match for the more numerous lights/mediums on the enemy team.
What do I do?
It's been annoying me
Yeah, but I am vulnerable since I am a less armoured tank
The heavy side is exposed quite a lot and there isn't that much cover
vapid quarry
Blitz through into town

But, I am going to get shot by the bloody campers at enemy spawn

i guess the dinastys pearl has to get some camp spots i mean its fountain side is not in favor of 'most' tds
oak jungle
Everybody hated the wastelands map but dinastys pearl is just as bad 🤷
quaint bay
It is even worse. Just like Vineyards, Canyon and Naval frontier
quaint bay
Canyon disadvantages some tanks and promotes camping, Naval is a nonsense and vineyards has too much un-usable space, cities on each side and is a campfest too
austere lark
Easy now
quaint bay
Well when I read again what I really complain about is how players play on these maps
austere lark
Canyon has been a main comp map for 2 years. I’ve learned a lot from it. Honestly way too many games there
There are certain things that you can and can’t do there and i think they’re separate from other maps
The bridge in the bottom left is death to push over if the other team is by c with someone spotting from b
quaint bay
You just can’t reach one side without getting shredded
austere lark
If you go c, you need to win the cap corner, not the town
B can hit heavies going a from both sides
quaint bay
^^^ the problem
austere lark
C is mostly from the north but south can still hit shots
It’s not a problem to reward aggressive medium play I don’t think
quaint bay
It also promotes camping
That’s the problem
austere lark
People camp regardless of the map
quaint bay
On some it is ineffective
austere lark
It’s just that 30-40%ers don’t know where to go
Dead rail takes 2% brain power to be a td
Other maps are trickier
Let me ask you this
Have you played a medium on canyon, gone b, and got shot for poking 30 seconds in?
quaint bay
Well TDs can’t hit reliably hulldown heavies on dead rail
austere lark
Heavies push a and poke the ridge stupidly. Never are hull down
quaint bay
I don’t stay 30s out or I’ll get destroyed by campers
But I often die holding B as much I can while my team camps
austere lark
I poked b from the north once and got shot by an isu and e75 that we’re pre aiming mid
1100 hp gone
But it shows that mid can be countered when people know how to
If a gun keeps b tanks from poking, other tanks can cross to a or c safely
quaint bay
I didn’t complained about mid
I complained about camping
quaint bay
I said that because they’re afraid from mid, they stay in base camp
And I hate that
I’m often the med at B
austere lark
People get stuck on canyon. A or c towns and the spawn towns
It’s just in experience
You can’t let one tank pin down a team
Take a hit and go
But it’s pubs so
quaint bay
Maybe players are more a problem than the map is
austere lark
I think that’s it honestly
Naval is interesting
Most games are all towards a side
quaint bay
That’s what I don’t like
Center camp is also a problem
quaint bay
The upper part of the map is often ignored
Once I literally had a game when my 6 teammates were camping at the center
austere lark
A feels very isolated from the rest of the map
quaint bay
Well A part isn’t that bad
The problem is when people ignore A,C and go all B
austere lark
It feels like the map design is off
Dynasty as wel
There’s too much unusable space
quaint bay
« It feels like the map design is off »
Sorry my English is bad what does it means
austere lark
There really aren’t enough useful firing lanes
Map design needs work*
It doesn’t flow like canal or himmels etc
quaint bay
Ok
There’s just too much buildings on Dynasty
On Naval you can’t really flank
austere lark
The buildings aren’t the problem
It’s the streets
The openings
It’s too closed off
quaint bay
True
austere lark
Himmels feels way more workable
quaint bay
Whatever I think that making a map that is just a city is a bad idea
It disadvantages lights and meds
And sniper TDs can’t work well (no sniper positions, relocating is almost impossible)
austere lark
I think the park should be more centered in the map
There’s still hills and cover so that it’s not crazy exposed
keen hare
Dead rail is still risky for td sniping if you get spotted. Mines takes 0 brain power to be a td. You can easily retreat into hard cover with a bush. Honestly dead rail is one of my favorite maps because its one of the few maps that actually rewards flanking
Mines is a utter crap map that rewards camping to an extreme degree
although I did find a decent spot that helps me blind shot tds
high cape
When does Normandy become a tournament map?
austere lark
Hopefully in another month

its one of the best maps IMO, lots of hull down locations and spotting. Also is possible for one light tank to flank without getting spotted. Also good visuals
copper hearth
too bad the Beach is never used
sacred hollow
Beach on Normandy is unused because it deserves to be.
There simply isn't much down there, and its isolation from the upper portion of the map kills it.
potent goblet

I actually flanked through the Beach using the LTTB in my Mastery game, however that’s near end game.

Falls Creek needs a major rework
heavies with no hull armor lack any hull down positions on the right side of the map,

oh god no arty to blitz. on the regular pc game it destroys the matches
more cards would be nice. On the xbox version, there are so many cards, even more city maps, which would be interesting. and on bigger maps TD and lights would finally be more successful. Currently, hardly anyone needs lights, because there are so many fast mediums or the sight is large anyway. most players can not do anything with scouts.
quaint bay
We have currently one city map and it’s Dynasty. It is awful for most of tanks and I don’t want more garbage like this
wide brook
Himmelsdorf feels too biased towards Russian tanks because it doesn't reward gun depression

But Dynasty rewards nothing but frontal armor

Dynasty rewards side armor, there are several good sidescraping spots, but just as a map it kinda sucks
quaint bay
I honestly don’t know why WG expected meds and sniper TDs to work properly in a big city
I'd play dynasty a hundred times in a row to never play Himmelsdorf again.
wide brook
I'd do the opposite
quaint bay
I’d rather play Himmelsdorf for my whole life than playing Dynasty one more time

Castilla is good but only when there's no 183s
I propose a petition to banish all 183s from Castilla
quaint bay
Dynasty only gives advantage to heavies and disadvantages to other tank types
wide brook
the problem with dynasty is that 70% of the map is for high alpha heavy tanks with piles of frontal armor, but because it's 70% of the map everyone goes to that part of the map
quaint bay
The other part gives advantage to heavies too. You can’t use mobility properly and TDs can’t snipe and relocate
wide brook
yeah it's not great it's just 70% of the map for Russian heavies and 30% of the map for American heavies

quaint bay
Ivan, employee of the month
Still better than Himmelsdorf.
On Dynasty if you go C in force one of two things will happen. 1 you will engage 2 or 3 tanks with overwhelming force while the rest of the reds have building between you and them. Effectively making the fight a 7 vs 4 or 5 very quickly. Or you engage the full red team from a position where all tanks have more of a advantage. Also your lights and meds can then fall back and flank through the city part.
Give me Dynasty over Himmelsdorf any day of the week.
wide brook
But this is implying you get team work in your games
quaint bay
^
What I see most is light tanks camping near the river._.
Of course it is. The point I'm making is that C is a better course of action.
If you can get your team to go C a good player can capitalize off of it and get the win.
C will just be a big yolo rush
Nope. I know of what I speak.

real steeple
It's sad to see most mediums lose half of their HP just trying to get up the hill
potent goblet
Yeah, even when playing as a TD and ripping a med in half I still feel a little guilty. The way everyone gets locked up so often just makes it disheartening to play.
It's basically you hope your team doesn't advance and then hope the enemy does so you can punish them
compact cobalt
Its most frustrating playing a medium but you get locked out of getting on the hill so you’re awkwardly at the entrance with your heavies. If you try to create a different flank it can be near impossible a lot of the time if the enemy team are packing three tds.
real steeple
For mediums
Go town - get blown up by TD
Go hill top - lights spotted you and you get blown up by TD
Go hill entrance - armor no match for heavies and get blown up by heavy + TD
Go island - gets spotted by middle and get blown up by TD
Hmm I wonder why meds hate this map
.
The problem here is that all the routes can be covered very easily by TDs in the same camping spot

Earlier when i also said that “this updates crap” because of the low tier thing, yesterday I took out like 5 AMX 38’s with my pz 35 on pc Blitz, just because their gun was so slow to turn I just circled them like they were a TD
^^^sorry for off topic
compact cobalt
@lament widget I dont think there is a second ramp to get on the hill right now. I think before the changes to mine happened a while back there was a ramp on the hill where fast lights could get on. My memory is kinda bad so I might be wrong
real steeple
Yes, there's a spot in the south where fast lights can rush uphill without going through the entrance. It isn't a ramp tho, just a modeling error.
Currently the only way to get up the hill on mines is the entrance to the west.
@lament widget
The pictures are actually suggestions to improved Mines, currently the map has too much predictability, and the TDs on both sides have too much map coverage.
valid swift
I agree with the TD point. TD positions can see 2 lanes the entire time, so this forces the match to go hill.
I feel like it’s too small of a map for lights to be effective, seeing as TDs sitting behind a bush could spot the light tanks on the flank.

The map just doesn’t fit higher tiers

Personally the only thing i don't like about Castilla is going on the town up high (My tanks have bad gd) and the part near B where you can't really climb up the what looks like a small lip into hill. I'll send a screenshot of it momentarily
This part. It always messes me up
real steeple
Well you can go slightly to the right and climb from there
potent goblet
Yeah, but i just went into the tr just to get a pic. I'm not always right there . A lot of time it's more towards the left so it takes ages to get into the town especially with no cover. Sure you can go behind the hills towards spawn as cover but it all take so long.
I try to just avoid water area all together, but sometimes i gotta dive in else risk letting an enemy get away
real steeple
Hmm
I rarely use heavies so idk
Usually I use meds and go uphill or down the mid town to spot C
potent goblet
I'm usually Td, heavy. Been occasionally using meds but even they have a hard time getting from one spot to the other. I get myself into trouble sometimes. It looks like o should be able to make it up only to come to a complete stop 85% of the way up and then i gotta back down and go around.

If team goes towards C, i climb up the mountain. If team goes towards A I follow. Honestly I don't like going to C, but i don't mind sniping the stew outta the enemy that tries it.

himmelsdorf needs to have an update in the center of the map, it would be nice to make a more detailed, The street of the castle looks more like a dirt road than a street, it can decrease some of the trains and put the station at the edge of the map and thus creating more streets in the center or leaving to make a way to the castle
Or put houses on the edge of the castle's hill
karmic dagger
Awesome post! @potent shore I completely agree on Castilla. Winning the Castilla is so essential that it’s basically impossible to win without it which puts heavier teams at a large disadvantage. Personally, I wish it had more town in center, around the Castilla, and that areas like the ones behind each spawn were made more strategically viable because they are so fun to play at.
potent shore

I don’t agree with Castillo’s. The windmill hill isn’t useless. if the heavies are hull down, the meds in the Castilla have a hard time penning them

Port Bay is the best map. They have Pirmanti's, Moe's Southwest Grille, and even a H00ters that does quite well in this PC era. Plus i have my farm out on the outskirts of town. The city hall was used for time travel experiments back in 1955 with a lighthouse that still functions today.
Plus there is a still out by the river that makes the best Apple Pie.

Fort despair is a good map but it looks a bit dull. Add more colors to it, more greens in the trees and some areas green grass. Maybe a pond too
Or add seasons to all maps, for instance Castillo in winter time and when dis selected in cue your tank automatically sets its camo for winter time and so on.
Let it snow a bit and let the snow piled up..... Just some ideas

I look at map details, buildings, signs, easter eggs, and animations now that I play Normandy with the highest graphics settings on my tablet.
Something like gameplay doesnt have as much of an impression when you spwnd the time in training rooms lookimg at all the details the developer(s) put in each new update.
The easyer eggs are another great topic.... Oasis Palms has (or had) a flying carpet, there was the sandworm, the building in Middleburg with D'fender plans when you shot the window open, and more i probally have forgotten. These are nice touches as well that interest me sometimes to play with my kids in training rooms. They dont care to blow stuff up, but they lile to drige around and play games online together. Easter egg hunting is as much fun for a single digit aged player than the encounter battle.

@still abyss you're not wrong. I like using my LTTB in training rooms to find to queer easter eggs on each map

If both teams go to port... That's when one team wins which is why it's only most of the time the team loses going port
small vault
@flint lodge i edited it last second but didnt remove always..
The team that goes to port loses because they usually end up getting caught going through the city to come around the enemy that they think is still on the river side.
And what i saw 2 times in a row yesterday when getting port bay was that even when the enemy team went port, one of their tds climbed to the top of hill near their spawn. They started on the side that is closest to the ship you can fall off from. And both times that td was the first one to get killed.
brazen pine
Which is why tds need to be aware of their surroundings. Once they see that the enemy team isn't there, they need to catch up quick. This means sniping there in a slow TD may not always be the best idea

Is the good idea to make all maps larger than before?
When this happen wg could add more thinks like t10 lights, artillery or even add more players to a one battle

Add the castle area on himmelsdorf that’s on WoT PC and console. Add a bit more to canal, like more track area. Mines could get a second entrance to the hill by the lower parts of the small town. Copperfield should still let people go up by the crane behind the wall thing. In dead rail add a bit more so you can go to the base entrances by both spawns. Also on dead rail you should be able to go up the hill a bit more and so I guess flatten out the hill a bit more so you can actually go up it. Also: new map idea: make a map like a city, either London or NYC

fresh quest
all old maps were fine. to many changes hapening in the game
in all maps there are areas where no tank can come..... it would be nice if we can the full use of the maps to get anywhere on hills. this will help Td's better because the maps are to small to get a good position.
oak shore
Sometimes it gives them too much control. Take a look at old Dead Rail. The hills are so steep, only tanks with good gun elevation angles can abuse and snipe from there effectively. And that gives so much room to shoot at.

Would be nice if they would fix the issue where you're going around a corner but come to a complete stop and get stuck just because you got an inch too close to a steep slope.

You mean like Normandy-sized maps?

normandy is so far the biggest map, using the full 500 by 500 alloted to maps

bigger maps would be great, and the additional option of 10 v 10 battles (if enough players are available) on those maps would be very cool to see!

Only issue if u get rushed u wont be saved unless ur team goes to d
real steeple
Quite easily spotted by D lights
potent goblet
I always prefer us to go D, atleast from this side. A is just, i don't see the appeal. It's easy to punish.
wraith lichen
I preffer setting myself near b or c and get shots across those who went to A and once a is cleared go to top and snipe there
@potent goblet d is deathtrap considering its hard to get support from b/c unless enemy is careless and go to the top of the small hills there
real steeple
Lucky boi
Our team just goes lemming A and get nuked halfway up the hill
wraith lichen
@real steeple ur team is questionable... good team at least have 2 ht go down to the ditch between a b and c
real steeple
Ah
Very sad
wraith lichen
If u can get 2 ppl down and mamage to find good holdout spot they can really threaten those whos near b and those who are going to rush a
T110e5 and is 4 is reccomended for this if ur playing tourneys
real steeple
Um I rarely play tourneys
Usually Rhm in randoms
wraith lichen
Even in randoms its a good option
If ur team knows what are they doing that is if not well might as well yolo rush to B and farm damage from the lemmings spotting result
potent goblet
But A is a fish in the barrel deathtrap for everyone. B,C, and D have protection against A. From D you can hit most of the other three points. So if you clear D your TDs can provide cover fire almost every where. A can't help B or C. Sure A can be helped from B or C but it's not easy to get out from A, D you can flee
A has two escape points and only 3 shooting points (exits and middle)
Both exit points can be attacked almost from spawn.
wraith lichen
@potent goblet if u start at the north end of the map A is one of the best holdout spot if u want to hold 2 caps from south will be tricky considering the cap in c had few buildings that blocked view from a
potent goblet
Still seems better to go D.
Atleast from a support stand point. Better overall map control
A might work better on encounter, if you all huddle up and hope for enemy to try and take over that area.
fresh quest
I prefer A in a TD and in a HT, I alwaar go there and take snotter teammates with me. Than A is a real strongpoint.
real steeple
If I'm in a med I'll go D but if I'm in a Rhm I would go A (but no up the hill) to take potshots on advancing heavies.
Idk about heavies since I rarely drive them
Anywhere with more than 3 teammates
fresh quest
Enemy is always careless in C and B, and when they fight your team while you flank them from A. And enemies that run over hills from D you can shoot too.
real steeple
T-54 at D is completely OP
potent goblet
I just can't trust A.
Have yet to win a game in the past 3 months when we go to A. Used to do ok if enemy went A aswell
fresh quest
If you only have two meds in your team, don't let them run to D
wraith lichen
@potent goblet bad luck with teams i guess
potent goblet
Usually what happens when we go A is we do ok when getting there a couple get hit on the way (assuming team is decent and not running around like headless chickens). Then we get surrounded and pounded. Enemy takes B,C, and D and any tanks that pokes their head out near any three points gets wrecked. If we huddle up they just either wait us out and maybe cap the big base or on supremacy they just cap the other spots and we lose by points.
fresh quest
That is why I am no fan of supremacy..... Losing on points is rediculous.
potent goblet
I don't mind supremacy. It rewards map control and punsihes the popular encounter strategy of holding up in one spot waiting for enemy to come to you.
fresh quest
If you are left with 3 heavies and the enemy has a fast tank like the BC and is 10 points ahead of you close to the 1000 points you are lost.
potent goblet
You can say the same for encounter when enemy just goes for the draw.
wraith lichen
Ofc not all go to A... if thats the case u just formed a lemming train...
fresh quest
Better a draw than a loss
potent goblet
Draw is basically the same as a loss. Your wr still drops

Sturer Emil does not really do well in supremacy
wraith lichen
At leas minimum 2 needed to stay back to spot flanker and once spotted they stand no chance since they cant see whos shooting them from a assuming ur team is pretty good at aiming and use the bush provided
potent goblet
If we B or C and A, we still run into the similar issue. B can fight C while relatively protected from A. C can do the same.
wraith lichen
No u dont push to the other cap assuming ur team is fast enough u just need to play defensively and hold also u get a bonus if u knock out one of the enemy tank whos heading to A
potent goblet
Using the bush is meh. You're still easy to spot and the bushes are pretty much the only spot you could be.
wraith lichen
@potent goblet dont shoot while in the bush keep some range from it then u will less likely gonna get spotted
fresh quest
You only have to cap 2 bases, A and C are enough. Also not every team must go to cap area some must hide and snipe.
potent goblet
If i know enemy is hiding at A, i'll throw a blind shot in here or there. Works well enough as either they are in the bush or behind the mountain. So it'll either hit or they aren't a threat.
wraith lichen
Easier said than done
Ht is hard to dmg when in A considerig they are likely gonna be in hulldown spots
potent goblet
Problem is B and D can still harass C without A being a threat.
wraith lichen
Who says ? D is just a open spot from A
potent goblet
From B and D you can hit the top of enemy tanks who are hulldown at A
wraith lichen
That mountain can overlook most of the map

Whatever your plan strategy is, Canal is one of the best maps in the game

D is larger than A and if successfully taken provides greater map control

wraith lichen
Ah go to A never go to c in black goldvilld @pseudo pike c is lemming magnet
fresh quest
For middleburgh, I think they should add another hill side so the town would be in the middle of two hills.
potent goblet
The problem i encounter going D is when the team doesn't push D and tries to fight D from spawn. Especially if A is on left D on the right. They make it to the train car and try to wait. If Tds move up the hills by spawn and meds go D, while heavies watch B, we do alright.
I think Copperfield, mines, and black goldville are probably the worst maps.
fresh quest
Copper field and mines are good although copper field needs to be more stretched. For it is to small now. I just like tier 8-10 battles in copper field too
potent goblet
I don't like em in higher tiers.
Copperfield people just stay on big hill and sit. Sit and wait for the other to rush, unless somebody goes opoosite side. Mines needs a rework if it's gonna stay where tier 6+ can play on it
fresh quest
Copper field is no problem, meds go one way and TDs and heavies go the other way.. But in mine the key position is the hill. If the re are more access points to the hill or even base is removed back from town to the middle as it was it would be much nicer to play. In tier 1-3 they all rush to base and not helping your team.
Autocorrect is a killer😡
potent goblet
I go with meds while using TD. (On copperfield)
For mines, denying hill is more important than actually taking it. Rush to bottom of hill, TDs hang back. Any one who goes to take hill has a bad time. If they go to island, TDs will eat them alive. If they go towards town, Tds will eat them alive. Usually if im a heavy i'll go toward that rock near hill over by town. Just to punch any enemies that move that way. Tds will hopefull help aswell.
fresh quest
How about some seasonal wheaten in all maps? For instance: death rail is always in winter without snowing or in spring with a bit of raining. Of course camo on your tank adapt automatically as normal to the maps.
Desert sands with a sand storm every 3rd battle you get that map.
Castilla in springtime, trees not fully green yet, some flower fields would be nice too....
Fort despair, In autumn, all trees and bushes are brown why not gasometer green or yellow tones to it. Like early autumn? Maps would be more interested when they have seasons in it
real steeple
And also big winds season
All tanks less than 20 tons gets thrown off the map

Or in winter malikova, the side where there is ice, why isn't it slippery. Why can you stop instantly and not slide a bit further?
Portbay tsunami and wash all tanks away.... No thanks

Anyway you get my point about map seasons.
Now we have the same maps in the same weather conditions

This side of the map is just unbalanced, people can get early spots by going to the middle bridge unharmed, than the other side, which has this big open shots from their medium side

@gloomy sand can't you cut thru town on the South spawn if you're afraid to get shot?
granted, it takes longer
raw glade
Hey sooooo can we all agree that of all the maps for mid-high tier games Copperfield, Fort Despair, and (though to a lesser extent) Mines are kinda....... meh
eternal tiger
Fort Despair can get super campy but otherwise I think these maps are ok
wraith lichen
I find maps is a map where those who camp harder wins @raw glade they should increase its size so lt and mt could manuever around that mid hill is a deathtrap for rushing tanks
raw glade
my issue with them is they feel like the only tanks thought about for them were low tier tanks, so anything with even halfway decent view range in the mid-high tiers basically ruins the maps.... Mines is still Okay in higher tiers, because it has options no matter what, but Fort Despair always turns into either everyone brawls inside the fort, or everyone brawls outside the fort... Copperfield may as well have lava in the middle for how little fighting occurs there due to how exposed to flanking fire from the 2 hills it is.... and it always turns into either the fight is all in the heavy hill or in the light/med hill.... either way not much fun....
oak shore
@gloomy sand that side can be easily countered by the northwestern position near the tracks
vapid totem

fresh quest
I just wish copperfield should be a bit larger so higher tiers could play there too. Copperfield is a good map it has for every tank good spots to go.
In oasis palms not many go to the desert unless in supremacy mode. Than they all run to A-cap if there are more heavies in the game. If it is not a supremacy game they all go to town or where C-cap side
In short... Every map has areas where there is less playing.

I remember when everyone used to go to the desert on oasis palms by the little inlets into the side of the hill by the temple
