[modern maple]

Thank you

[cerulean knoll]

Why can’t dyno just do it right

[wooden quartz]

Isn't is possible to somehow configure a bot to auto-ban or auto delete these messages?

[cerulean knoll]

Technically yes

But we as mods do not have the access to do so

A very simple way would be to not allow links to be posted by the masses. That should reduce it to basically 0

[ocean haven]

Nope just your ping is little bit high

[modern maple]

That would also make posting replays impossible

And gifs, and external pictures

[wooden quartz]

As like cursed words and caps lock spam are auto deleted, perhaps a certain word from the fishing message can also be banned

[weary hare]

Will Blitz ever put in a weather aspect like have it snowing, rainy, or windy? Another cool map would to put in the Arden Forest from Battle of the Bulge

[lusty warren]

wg said no forest maps due to performance issues

[scenic stratus]

Watch wg add a forest map next year because even they can't rely on their previous statements

[stone tendon]

They will never, they are allergic to putting even 2 trees near each other

[marble gyro]

they already tested weather features, and there were rumors that it was going to be implemented during the past summer, but at the end nothing has been done, probably because main servers aren't strong enough yet to support it

[wooden quartz]

But were strong enough to handle 8 vs 8 on RU servers due to bugs with a gamemode

[modern maple]

The servers will always be able to handle it, the questions is just at what cost and how the clients handle it

[ocean haven]

Hello WG if you see this please read this. I want to have custom map for training room (making own map).

[civic crystal]

You sure have wild dreams.

Map concept - Size: 520x520

[restive pawn]

map suffers from port bay syndrome: north team will always get to the southeast corner before the south team

[cloud light]

is it only me who hates being Team B on ghost factory, which means we got the higher spawn point on that map?

[sage wind]

can someone please explain why the tracks on ghost factory have collisions

it is super irritating as it can cancel all your speed instantly

[modern maple]

Realism and map balance

[drowsy cobalt]

Heh
He said realism

[modern maple]

Just because this isn‘t the meme channel doesn‘t mean that we can‘t make jokes 😉

[brisk folio]

What is this sign on top of the big ruin in Hellas? You can only see it if you zoom in at least twice. Is the ruin a light tank?

[modern maple]

Easter egg

[brisk folio]

Do you know what it means?

[stuck frigate]

I Hellas don't know

[lament widget]

Lmaoo

@brisk folio I heard it was a reference to assassins creed but I’ve never played it so I wouldn’t know for sure

[quaint bay]

RIP mirage

[obsidian depot]

im tryna figure out how to zoom in twice

[brisk folio]

With manual zoom on PC

[obsidian depot]

thanks a mil

[stone tendon]

quoi

[buoyant coral]

like if you zoom in normally it will automatically zoom in like that?

[grizzled adder]

No
Which is why mobile suck lol

[buoyant coral]

I'm on pc and idk how to do it and idk what he means by it

[maiden sluice]

Under controls > mouse > disable automatic zoom. So now you can zoom in and out more comfortably with the mouse wheel.

[stone tendon]

What castle?

Oh yes that car is really annoying

Messes around with the aim

[lament granite]

you know what we really need super badly, is a semi-spherical or ovaloid map

[weary hare]

If you stay under the symbol in Hellas, your tank gains the power of Oden and Lightning ⚡️ falls from the sky destroying all enemies. I also have a bridge for sale if anyone is interested LOL 😂

[lament granite]

seriously, i’d love nothing more than to play on the rubber ducky’s surface all day long (at least for fun modes)

[weary hare]

@lament granite what is the rubber duckies surface?

[lament granite]

it comes from the “world of ducks” event!

[stone tendon]

Rock field is spherical

[lament granite]

not really though, as it hasn’t exactly been turned into a globe-like figure just yet!

[lament granite]

ikr 💤

[wooden quartz]

Kinda outdated

[lament granite]

me

[hazy smelt]

Pls Tell me how

[lament granite]

you can’t. that user had an additional application on their desktop, but it wasn’t part of the game itself

[brittle basin]

there's a thing called manual zoom

[lament granite]

not on blitz, there isn’t

[lament granite]

neither on mobile nor for the desktop version, actually! lol

[lament granite]

you still don’t get to control the zoom level though

[brittle basin]

you do, it's the first thing I changed when I started playing because the autozoom zooming out when trying to aim at fast targets got annoying

[lament granite]

could you show me a recording please? i’ve toggled that setting but i still don’t have any option that shows up to zoom in for me

[brittle basin]

on pc use mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Zooming in and out works just like in pc version

[lament granite]

yeah i tried it

[lament granite]

huh, that sounds so odd ...

[uneven jetty]

Castillia is HELL for me in a tank that is only suitable for sidescraping (maus, e100, etc.). You get sniped from the meds very, VERY often. And im still wondering where mirage and that chinese map are. They said a temporary remove. Still after 1 year, no comeback. Seems like wg is lying. If im wrong, tell me i probably fell from the stairs and went KO for a year. Btw Fort Despair is also trash for me. Idk change my mind.

[agile pewter]

if you're getting sniped, i wouldn't push right up to the windmill or the c cap there, i would stay back in cover and force your opponents to make the mistake. Alternatively, you could go med side and sidescrape there, that works sometimes too

[lament granite]

“that chinese map” really? seriously now, could you be more orientalist if you tried 🤦‍♀️

[uneven jetty]

Srsly the map is gone for over a year! How the hek can I even have that name in my head?? Are you a neurologist?!

[lament granite]

it’s just as dismissive as calling castilla “white person’s map”

[lament granite]

funny you still remember mirage then, for that matter

[uneven jetty]

FINE if you really want to know:

[quaint bay]

Your opinion is noted and will be given all the consideration it rightfully deserves. We appreciate you abiding by the rules of the server despite your opinion of them.

[river canopy]

This is why you don’t waste your time going to the windmill. Just drive up to the castle like a normal person and contest the piece of ground that actually matters instead of getting farmed by TDs and mediums for 5 minutes

[uneven jetty]

Hmmmm. Thx

[wooden quartz]

If your side isn't meta then you don't go there unless you want to make some kind of insane flanking

[stone tendon]

It is Chinese, there is an Easter egg on the map which is the Chinese dragon. As the Chinese say, stop being a “baizou “

[crimson geyser]

How to win on HELLAS ?

where should I position myself there?

edit the pic please 🙂

[river canopy]

in pubs, you have two choices. Either win the southwest corner quickly and put the enemy in crossfire, or play super aggressive on the Northeast, and win it before your team loses control of your spawn and gets crossfired

[crimson geyser]

ok

[lament granite]

where are southwest and northeast because i don’t think they align with the map being presented right here

[modern maple]

Switch west and east and it fits

[crimson geyser]

i dont get it 😦

[river canopy]

I can't think straight rn lol; I mean southeast and northwest

[crimson geyser]

ok now i get it lol

[lament granite]

np haha

[river canopy]

Too busy losing my mind over how much I hate vinedyards for being so unbalanced

[lament granite]

tell me all about it! lol

[river canopy]

In pubs, I literally have never seen south spawn lose, or north spawn win
(Barring south spawn going entirely town)

[crimson geyser]

what's pubs?

[wooden quartz]

Which is south spawn and north spawn? Never paid attention on this

[river canopy]

pubs = public matches; normal battles (as opposed to "comp" or "competitive" battles)

[wooden quartz]

The normal battles. Neither competitive or tourneys

[modern maple]

South spawn is the one with the A cap

[modern maple]

Never mind, it’s the B cap 🙃

[wooden quartz]

I just hate this map because of how easy it is to capture the base in encounter mode

Nothing more, nothing else. I have no idea why it's unbalanced tho

Base in general should be just a way to bait your enemy like in Himmels. God bless Himmels, my favorite map among all

[river canopy]

South spawn has superior ruins positions. There's a few hulldowns they can play to bully away any north spawn tank in there, and also, south spawn tanks can easily just push underneath the A cap and just bully north spawn from the hulldowns there.

Those 2 facts force northspawn to play on the town side of the map, which also isn't viable because you can't push out of city, and everytime you peek, you get farmed

[wooden quartz]

Well, tbh my last battle in Vineyard was a lost and I'm pretty sure I spawned in south. Ok, I was in a T49, so my team actually had a 6 vs 7 situation.

[modern maple]

North spawn has a better encounter cap position and better defensive positions on the medium side where they can play hulldown. They also have an easier approach to their supremacy cap and can defend it easier

You can‘t play unspotted in the southern medium side ruins while you can do that from the northern side

[crimson geyser]

How to win on BLACK GOLDVILLE ?

[crimson geyser]

which map is smaller ? DESERT SANDS or MINES ?

[random mist]

Mines

[quaint bay]

When there is going to gome the Breivik mode in to game. Where you drop 50 tanks on the island and need to survive like other game makers tend to do it.

[agile pewter]

that would just make this into yet another battle royale game....

[crimson geyser]

What's the biggest map ?? how bout smallest ?

[lusty elm]

How many maps are there in the game

And can see all of them

[marble gyro]

u can see how many there are in game if u create a training room (cuz it will show all of them), or in external sites like StratSkretch, Map inspector or HeatMaps

[lusty elm]

Thanks

[meager patrol]

you guys still remember the "Lost Temple" map ?

[native zodiac]

what about mirage

[stone tendon]

https://youtu.be/wOqjXgcp5g4

[limpid kayak]

ofc I do. Loved to take control of the big temple in the middle with a med in the city fight. Good times. I wonder how long the rework will take

[calm garden]

Wargaming please make an map like a forest or something with a lot of bushes stacked near each other some trees a river or so. Or atleast make bushes bigger that could hide your whole tank, and not a half of it. please leave a mark down there what you think

[crimson geyser]

😄

[crimson geyser]

wews.. Normandy is the biggest map... i thought copperfield is big LOL.. turns out mines is bigger

[faint lynx]

It would become bush kemping contest

[stone tendon]

Map concept - 520x520

[marble gyro]

it should come back for the Chinese New Year event, in HD graphics

[wooden quartz]

That's interesting, for the first time I see a heavy lane on the middle, unless I'm forgetting another map

[elfin moth]

Its PBR not HD, and yea it wuld be awesome🥳

[native zodiac]

Its a hd map now?

[marble gyro]

they took it away to "rework" it, and i heard rumors it got also remodeled graphically

[limpid kayak]

That would be awesome. I miss the map

[earnest mauve]

yess,please

[azure river]

It's gonna be a lot flatter

Just a hunch

[stone tendon]

it always becomes alot flatter unfortunately :_(

[azure river]

Old Desert Sands...

[stone tendon]

It’s tragic really, same goes with old dead rail

[azure river]

They are coming back. Just "improved"

[lament widget]

Quite excited for new mirage, looks a lot like el halluf

[arctic thorn]

cool map but there are few places to cover yourself

[fallow storm]

Vineyards north spawn needs a buff, too easy to dominate games with south spawn as they can aggressively push on med flank(other spawn cannot).

[river canopy]

Finally, someone speaking facts

[keen hare]

alpenstadt spawns are unbalanced not because of the railway but because heavies going center can shoot the meds sniping for one spawn but not the other

[grizzled adder]

Forgive me but what? Alpenstadt doesn’t have railways right?

[halcyon wren]

it does

just that one side gets the worse half

you have to expose yourself to enemy TD fire in order to claim the corner next to the train tunnel

[grizzled adder]

Ohhhh. THAT railway, ah, yes, pretty imbalance. Cuz one side can side and has open space and another is covered by rocks and bits

[stone tendon]

alpenstadt is just bad, one side is big and empty and the other side is small and crammed

[halcyon wren]

also, screw the cap in that map

way to much cover

[lament widget]

Ah yes an open roadway is too much cover

[floral ingot]

When will Lost Temple come back?
And why doesn't Wargaming rework Castilla so that it becomes less dependent on whether your team is competent enough or not?

[marble gyro]

Lost Temple should come back in 1-2 months, probably for the Chinese new year event

[kindred latch]

But the side you find worse has a posistion to get everyone crossing at least once

[grizzled adder]

There is are spots in Castilla you can carry games with,

[stone tendon]

The map is fun in ratings

[floral ingot]

90% player base doesn't care about Ratings. @stone tendon
I am one of those people.

[lament widget]

I use ratings as an escape from randoms if there isn’t a special gamemode

[marble gyro]

wdym it's fun in ratings? it is literally the same map as in random

[stone tendon]

People do their job on the map properly

[pale isle]

Will WG fix Ghost Factory? The rail tracks amidst other obstacles that are taking your speed away are horrible on there

I guess its because they are real rail tracks and not just painted tracks like in the older maps. The 3D rail tracks do glitch unfortunately...

[slate tundra]

What are some things you consider before rushing mines hill? Also I've noticed more people are taking positions to shoot conventional safe spots on the hill, should I stop rushing hill then?

[gentle turret]

which side of the map my team spawned on

[random mist]

I usually end up getting to battle 2-3s after battle started so I don't bother, but when I do... I check for fast clippers and accurate derps, they usually take out most of the hp of hill rushers while they're exposed.

[stone tendon]

Don’t rush hill unless you know that you can safely

[quaint bay]

i like that a lot

[wooden quartz]

When I'm in a heavy tank I surely go for the hill and my favorite thing is punishing who rushes with their medium tanks, but if I'm in a light tank or a medium one I prefer to don't even go to hill

I'm more useful with something agile, fast shooter and precise if I flank through the isle and remove bit by bit of the enemies HP shooting on their side

[noble herald]

im punishing progettos like that

[limpid kayak]

I wonder how Lost Temple looks like if it's flatter. The hilly terrain with the little bridges was quite nice. The new oasis palms is much flatter than the old one. Maybe Lost Temple will offer more sniper positions if it is flatter

[pure cape]

Bruh why lost temple and mirage got removed :(

[quaint bay]

Rework

[stuck frigate]

I just don't rush hill anymore, I drive to the rock and wait for track shots (or for those are rushing hill friend or foe to be lit up)

[limpid plover]

Well, first thing is the enemy lineup

Might as well call the push off if they have faster tanks

Besides, rushing it is now hard; everyone is racing to be first

[wooden quartz]

Tip: if your enemies have an Emil 1951 then it's not a good idea to rush.

[limpid plover]

True

[obtuse owl]

I’m having major connection issues with Normandy, Hellas and ghost factory. Not worth playing as it crashes 3/4 times per game. Is it just me?

[lament widget]

What region and what model device

[obtuse owl]

@lament widget Europe and iPad ( somewhat old)

[lament widget]

Might be the iPad specifically. Game servers are fine, 19/20 times it’s the persons own WiFi or something like that

[obtuse owl]

I was afraid of that...thanks

[rain frost]

Close all applications, force restart the iPad, then open the game.
I have had to do that with my old iPad 3 and and my iPad 6 since they introduced iOS with multitasking (that seems to have memory leaks )

After the restart thing, gaming would be fine for a few days, then 1 crash and another and another.

Did not matter wotb, wowsb, or other games.

[modern maple]

I never had these issues 👀

[obtuse owl]

@rain frost thanks for the info. I’ll give it a try

[toxic kettle]

understandable it is probably one of the hardest map to play since heavies and meds side are not clearly separated and both can shoot at each others from distance, depend on the tank ur playing but when the team is splited i almost go middle near the center base behind bush to shoot heavies that are trying to cross and quickly go to med side if needed

rushing heavy side under bridge is a rewarding but if the enemy decide to rush you , u are done for and u have to take risk to get in there fast

[quaint bay]

mostly depends on your teams and enemies line up

[limpid kayak]

Is the new map Holland part of the next update or will the new map be released further in the future?

[gray gust]

theFourthReich#0013 was banned

[stone tendon]

Not next update sadly

[austere lark]

A map of Tom Holland or featuring Tom Holland?

[limpid kayak]

I consider this trolling 😋 I mean the map which is named like a region in The Netherlands 😆

[austere lark]

I just got confused…

I’d very much look forward to a new map

[stuck frigate]

I don't want to think about playing on a map of Tom Holland

[stone tendon]

I really wish they would just remove some of the stupid maps in this game

please just get rid of Dynastys pearl

[lament widget]

Where did you get that info?

[elfin moth]

It is on meadsy's channel
And on blitz post too, it came 2 months ago ig
*the info

[lament widget]

I didn’t know it was in the Netherlands is what I meant

[scenic stratus]

The Netherlands (Dutch: Nederland [ˈneːdərlɑnt] (audio speaker iconlisten)), informally Holland

Holland is a geographical region[2] and former province on the western coast of the Netherlands.[2] The name Holland is also frequently used informally to refer to the whole of the country of the Netherlands.

Sauce: Wikipedia

[fluid grove]

Hi

[limpid kayak]

Holland is a region in The Netherlands and the houses on the map Holland are quite realistic tbh. The terrain is a little bit hilly for Holland but that's no biggie. I saw the news on the news channel here and I saw the video of Martin Dogger

[gray gust]

Pr0BablyAn0therNub#3543 has been warned.

[kindred latch]

Tasty sauce

[supple pumice]

In NL, we have two provinces - South Holland and North Holland. Holland on its own doesn't exist anymore, but we tend to let tourists call us that because money 😂

The style used in the map is a lot like our old city centers, and/or our countryside, again, old houses

Really looking forwards to the map =)

One more bit of history, btw, Holland used to be a kingdom in its own rights, because it and other small kingdoms became a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which later really just became the Netherlands (we're still a kingdom, though)

[modern maple]

Yes, I‘m actually related to the royal family of woodland, but it‘s some weird connection I already forgot

Though, what‘s more interesting, they used Lost Temple in some background promoting 8.7

Actually, nevermind, it‘s just a lookalike

[dreamy geyser]

I know Japan and China weren't known for their tanks in ww2 (well, ever really), but I wish we had a little more oriental maps than just dynasty pearl, Yamato Harbor and the currently unavailable lost temple. Maybe a map based in Tokyo, Nanking, or okinawa

[halcyon wren]

can we have rather than another stupid city map

can we just get a jungle map

[dreamy geyser]

how about a sidescraping map instead of a hulldown map. you know, like a city instead of a jungle

[scenic stratus]

So it would be entirely flat with no ruble or anything of that sort

[quaint bay]

Oh hell no

We have enough issues with players going town already.

[dreamy geyser]

we have enough hulldown maps already. besides, the maps im thinking of are 100% city.

[quaint bay]

I stand by this

[dreamy geyser]

@quaint bay good for you, but I stand by this.

[quaint bay]

Well for once I suspect I’m on the side of player base. City maps are generally hated.

[dreamy geyser]

i could understand, but i would like more maps that doesn't cater to the hulldown meta.

[teal turret]

It's gonna the most hated map since so many tanks can't side scrape

Btw we kinda do have a full city map and it's one of the easiest places to hulldown lol

[stuck frigate]

Based

[halcyon wren]

Himmelsdorf is an actually good city map

unlike all the other city maps

city maps suck for everyone really

grindfest battles where nothing happens, and where lights and mediums are useless, TDs guard all chokes, making pushes painful etc

maps with an open med side and city for heavies (Vineyards, Middleburg, Alpenstadt) imo are not as bad as full city maps, but still horrid

it’s well known that city is suicide on 2/3 of those maps

unless the enemy team also go there

[next scaffold]

Day 1 of asking WG to remove mines from high tiers, or update it

[stone tendon]

Mines is fine git gud

[next scaffold]

it is, just boring. the same hill, the hill, go city no no, hill first wins

and also heavily depends on the MM, enemy have fast LT to go hill and many hulldown tanks = higher chance to lose

[marble gyro]

yes but usually the teams are balanced that one has the faster tanks and the other the most armored, so the first can win the hill, but the second can just dominate the ridge

[next scaffold]

Ussually

and other things that i hate, is the spawn location, the map is more asymetrical

[marble gyro]

yeah i agree that the east spawn has an advantage (the one with the city on the right)

[next scaffold]

this rock here pic 1, blocks your view. making it harder to shoot tanks coming from the other side, yes "go left" or something, but playing with other players and having to make way for the others to drive will get atleast one of your teammate can't shoot

other side of the spawn pic 2, is clear

[marble gyro]

yeah i agree, also there's only 1 position to counter the enemys while they're hulldown on the east spawn, and to get there u have to expose yourself to the fire of the enemys on the hill

[next scaffold]

yea, if they don't want to remove it from top tier, please at least just update it

[grizzled adder]

I love new bay :<

I used to love middleburg, and loved going to town, but then when I reached 3k battles I learnt that EVERYONE hates town goers

[river canopy]

This is going to be something of a hot take, but the reason why "city maps" are generally hated is because our "city maps" with the sole exception of Himmelsdorf are still mixed-type maps.

The problem with mixed types maps is that they make one side dominant making the city section completely worthless. If the entire map is urban, like Himmelsdorf, neither side is really dominant, and a purely urban map allows for more rotations and dynamic play, since buildings and streets allow you to close the distance more easily and safely, as opposed to open maps, which are usually more campy

[grizzled adder]

Yes. A full city map pls. Maybe like a graveyard/cemetery lol, cuz we don’t really have a lot of night maps

[dreamy geyser]

very late to the party, but I was wanting more oriental full city maps, since we don't have a lot of either full city or oriental type maps. maybe a full city map based on Tokyo, Nanking, or if you have a weird sense of humor like me, hiroshima.

[scenic stratus]

Something like new bay but oriental theme?

Dynasty would have been a good example if it was actually of decent size

[dreamy geyser]

and didn't have that bloody park

[scenic stratus]

the park would be fine if it was larger and allowed for room to move around

[dreamy geyser]

park would be even better if it was removed

i was thinking something like himmelsdorf or the middleburg but without the hills

[scenic stratus]

Where do you suppose tanks with paper armor go

[dreamy geyser]

support role.

[scenic stratus]

Support what? Other teammates with no armor? Hulldown is quintessential for most tanks in the game

[dreamy geyser]

and what can sidescraping tanks do in a hulldown map?

[scenic stratus]

There are still sidescraping opportunities in a lot of hulldown areas. And there are only a handful sidescrapers that don't do well hulldown

[dreamy geyser]

it's possible to hulldown on himmelsdorf too. so make some rubble piles in certain parts of the full city maps

[scenic stratus]

Well I am not saying himmels is a bad map either but there is a reason why the heavy lane is purely superior. You can hulldown there vs mostly sidescraping positions available on rails

The game tends towards hulldown. Removing ability to hulldown on maps will just make it a bad map.

[dreamy geyser]

there's simply too many hulldown maps in this game. i know hulldown is a good strategy, but the better word to "tends toward" is "caters to hulldown". there needs to be more sidescraping maps, and show more love to the sidescraping tanks too, without giving the hulldowns somthing to cheer them up.

But on the original topic, I do honestly think there needs to be more oriental maps than the ones we have rn (including lost temple). I would like more urban maps but i'm good with any form of map that doesn't cater to the hulldown.

[cyan zephyr]

On mines if the enemy meds secure the top of the hill, I feel like if you’re a heavy on the hill you get screwed because if you try to go hull down over that hill the meds shoot you but if you look at the meds the heavies hit you. Any solutions to this issue?

[scenic stratus]

Turn off encounter and play supremacy only. Problem solved.

On a serious note, it would firstly depend on spawn ig. If I remember the map correctly, the south has a more defensive cover from the heavies while having shots on the meds who captured the hill. You could alternatively fall back to the foot of the mountain and hope the enemies over extend to shoot you and get clapped by tds.

I got nothing for the north spawn. Your meds should have gotten the hill before unless they were simply too slow or bad. Best you can do is bait the enemies to over extend into your tds in spawn

[austere lark]

If you lose the hill there are a few options

You can continue to keep them honest and hold them from pushing if you have td support

You can back down but wait to receive a push but if you want to win, your team has to flank through town

A variation is to hold your ground if someone is at the light house and gives support

You can run from the hill and full send town

[halcyon wren]

corridor city maps are the worst

have you seen Paris in WoT?

[split moat]

Too many maps are "hulldown" maps. WG needs to make more maps that require different play styles. If they don't Blitz is gonna be like PC where the meta is hulldown and nothing else (Quickybaby made a video talking about this.)

Without variety everything becomes dull. That's why we play Blitz because there are so many different tanks with so many different play styles but if there aren't maps that can accommodate those play styles then only one type of tank becomes relavant.

[scenic stratus]

There is a reason why the game tends towards hulldown. When you are hulldown, you can shoot back while enemies find it difficult to pen you. Even with paper turrets, hulldown reduces the profile while being able to shoot back.

Larger maps with more defined roles for support tanks are in order to cater for more playstyles

[quaint bay]

Well i think they just do it so the players can get used to it and they will know more about each maps. But New bay for me doesn't seem to be a hulldown map for me cuz there is so many buildings and there are a little bit of positions that are hulldown especially that small park.

[split moat]

True. That's why I said "too many" instead of "all".

[halcyon wren]

New Bay sucks

one side gets the park with tons of hulldown cover

the other gets a small hut and a concrete block to hide behind

how is that balanced

if I’d change anything about the map, I’d give both sides the park, either by putting a new park in or putting the park in the middle

[quaint bay]

are they gonna put blitz ver of stalingrad?

[dreamy geyser]

i'd like a blitz version of pearl river. that map is fun, good theme too.

[grizzled adder]

I’d love a fun themed Map instead of the regular ones

Because wg isn’t a simulator anyways. So they should exercise some creativity

Maybe create a circus map with little/no hulldown on ridge lines like mines. Sidescraping map would be more creative and Teaches players to use other skills rather than the old fashioned dull hulldown

Or a stunt racing track with 3 sections. The arena, spawn a and b outside of the oval arena situated on 2 corners of the map.
The arena could have a stunt display in the middle that allows you to climb very high

[stone tendon]

please no the last time WG tried to make an unrealistic map, they came up with faust

[austere lark]

Faust is quite a bad map

[balmy gate]

It's only good for heavys and TDs

[austere lark]

Even for them it’s not actually fun

[balmy gate]

Yeah

[river canopy]

The annoying thing about Faust is the same problem a lot of maps have. In pubs, the A side dominates the lower ground on C/D, but on A, the nature of the positions harshly punishes the team that wants to make the first move.

So basically a lot of time is spent waiting around for either the enemy to make mistakes, or your teammates to take hits so you can swing out and push

[fast sonnet]

In high play with decent players, the waiting around part is true in every map... But Faust does suck, same goes for Ghost factory(too much assymmetry)

[austere lark]

The entire middle of the map is essentially worthless

[river canopy]

It’s honestly a lot like middleburg, albeit not quite as bad

[modern maple]

Ghost factory is only unfun because everyone seems to have this silly idea that you should go to the „medium“ side which is honestly just a glorified pit

[river canopy]

It’s a pit, but you also need to win it because losing the pit means you lose the high ground roads leading to that pit. And losing those roads loses you the game

[modern maple]

You like to overstate highground. Most teams cannot utilise it, and aside from that nothing stops you from crossing into the enemy spawn from the factory because the enemy will alway push into your spawn

[dusky charm]

Oh, you mean the glory pit?

Pls relax, tis just a joke pls no hammer pls no

[quaint bay]

Well they can't have 1 more park in a middle of a fishing port, and i like your idea on putting the park in the middle of a map but that will make all go to middle (maybe) cuz that is the only hulldown position for hulldown tanks in which meds will easily flank.

[river canopy]

Clearly obi wan has taught you nothing

[austere lark]

Obiwan didn’t know there were caps on the lower ground

[lament widget]

Pretty sure the new version of lost temple is going to be like that

[violet jay]

you guys remember the map mirage? what happened to it

[quaint bay]

Well we don't know yet i only remember only played 1 battle on it cuz my acc was created in 2021

[violet jay]

huh

[quaint bay]

Just watch some of the wotb youtubers to know what happened and my only theory is because wg is realising new maps to the game.

[random mist]

WG took it out temporarily for rework.

[violet jay]

ah thanks

[quaint bay]

Ohh

[stone tendon]

Ive been testing out where the LTG can drown and so far ive made it drown on: Vineyards, Canyon, Canal, Normandy, Mayan, Port Bay (Hard not to drown), Castilla, and even Ghost factory. Finally I feel like im playing WoT PC.

[random mist]

Drowning in Mayan Temple? 💀

[stone tendon]

Heavy tank driver? There is water here!

[random mist]

No I know there's water in Mayan Temple, just didn't think the water level would be high enough to drown any tank at all.

[halcyon wren]

water really murders a T-100 LT’s speed lol

canyon is pain with it

[stone tendon]

I really wish certain maps had a longer time limit

[velvet crow]

expect for the 2 bushes near the middle for either the green or red team, good for lights or medium tanks to spot those heavies

[split moat]

Wargaming is reworking it.

[weary hare]

I would like to have weather conditions in WOTB like have it snow, rain, fog, and wind where you couldn’t snipe

[stone tendon]

https://youtu.be/PQ6BdAjRYFY

It was tried awhile ago

[next scaffold]

If you ever goes to himmelsdorf, please just call direction at the planning phase, both ways are good

Don't just say "go left/right" A minute after it starts

[scenic stratus]

Ofc calling should occur during countdown or seconds after the battle starts. Otherwise your super heavies or mediums will never listen as if they do now

[solemn jolt]

What about the spampoint?

I think there have meaning of where tanks will go like they facing in left or right after they're joined in the match before the battle starts.

[frank lava]

<@&481447501690568709>

[marble gyro]

in this game splitting is most likely synonymous of lost, unless u have a great player which carries one flank or the enemys do the same thing; i honestly prefer not to risk, and i always ask my team to go in specific map locations: rails on himmelsdorf (unless we don't have any medium/light), C on Mayan ruins (bridges near it are key), hill on Mines (taking the hill is basically auto-win), park on Dynasty's pearl etc

[stone tendon]

True, but on few maps such as Canal, Castilla and Deadrail, splitting up is needed to avoid ending up in a pincer/crossfire

[marble gyro]

sure, that's what keeps some map variety, if all maps were just an all-in side it would be quite boring

[orchid stream]

Faust is terrible in my opinion because:

1. the C/D side has practically no shooting lines
2. the A side is very awkward, the circular rook eliminates both sidescraping AND hull down, which makes it just people bleeding HP
3. the middle is literally pointless, both the C/D side AND the A side can fire down at them while there is minimal cover
4. generally the game kind of slows down on the C/D side because nobody wants to push into a small chokepoint.
5. the A side, even when fully dominated by one team, has limited shots into the flanks of heavies camping the ramps on the C/D side, meaning the only useful thing to do would be to push the back of the opponents. Yet with the way the railing of the ramps were designed, it's impossible to do damage without taking damage. This combined with 1, means that the defender(even when flanked) is still favoured.

[orchid stream]

I think splitting is losing too. Cause if the other team pushes one side then that side of half your team is gone. In my opinion as lights with low penetration on a heavy lane you need to stay VERY passive until an opportunity opens up to flank or cap. Better do little damage than get sent back to the garage in 1 minute.

[ocean ravine]

I think splitting is map dependent and also lineup to an extent. I feel like on Castilla and on dead rail you have to split but on other maps like rockfield you don’t

[stone tendon]

Also the map is very un-natural, and does not give player much of an option to do anything else but play the map in the way it was intended. Unlike a map such as Castilla or Canal where you can do many creative plays, Faust does not really have that option.

Its the same sort of thing with Naval Frontier where you cant do much outside of the actual design of the map... if that makes sense

And the lack of vegetation on both maps slims the possibilities down even more

[orchid stream]

I suppose there IS a hull down area on faust, but literally nobody uses it

Honestly in my opinion copperfield is actually great cause it has a medium lane and a heavy lane, not too big of a map, and TDs aren't gonna dominate. Although the middle is a great brawling area, so the map works for all tanks

[stone tendon]

It used to be a much better map, the medium area now is very awkward to fight on

[lament widget]

It’ll come back when it’s ready

[orchid stream]

OG maps

[stone tendon]

I would love to play on the original Falls creek or Desert sands

Now they are both really flat

[river canopy]

Honestly, the OG maps were all garbage with the sole exception of dead rail

[fluid pumice]

dead rail also sucks

[stone tendon]

Gameplay wise, yea the maps were not so good, either one side was dominant or the map is just very static due to strong sniping positions. But the old Desert sand kind of reminds me of steppes from WoT PC, with the hills on the edge of each spawn.

[marble gyro]

this map is just the old desert sand

[halcyon wren]

bring back the old desert imo

old desert was cool

new town is also cool

combine both

[stone tendon]

it must be done : P

[modern maple]

Lol, no, the camping spots near the railway were absolutely op

[halcyon wren]

they’re very obvious spots tho

[modern maple]

Doesn‘t matter because you could play them hulldown

[limpid kayak]

I thought the new map's name was going to be Holland. Good decision to change it to Molendijk. The name says already that it has alot of windmills 🙂

[stone tendon]

The new map looks nice, open and lots of bushes

It doesn’t look like tds can camp at all

[lament widget]

What’s the language?

@stone tendon that’s not always a good thing though. (About the TDS bit)

[stone tendon]

I assume its in dutch. Also we have high tier light tanks now, so maybe.

[lament widget]

Because there are actual sniper tds (grille ofc) that can’t be frontline except certain situations, and since this looks like a heavily gun depression and side scraping map, and you can’t do either in the grille

[limpid kayak]

It's dutch ofc 🙂 Molen = windmills and dijk = dike 🙂

[lament widget]

I hope they at some point add a French map so I can actually understand what the name means, lol

[elfin moth]

I mean, the map is just fantastic!
The skies, the buildings, the burning windmills, the architecture, the missile at the start and the sheer amount of different stuufs like prisons, country side, river and city going on....
What a fantastic map and hats off to the devs 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
And honestly guys, give credit where credits due

damn

it would be awesome just to die from falling lel

[stone tendon]

hey its not like you cant, Castilla has quite a good cliff near the church

Ive squashed many tanks with my E 50 M there hehe

Make fall damage in blitz more damaging

Then imma fall off the castilla cliff

It’s words in a language, just like himmelsdorf is German for sky village

Molendijk is Dutch for Mill Dike.

[elfin moth]

Ofc not, i hav not played on it
I watched amunets stream
And unlike many other ppl who just find faults and insult WG, I really appreciate them for the good things that they do, the devs,especially related to the graphics.... cuz i am super excited for the future of the game

Not really, I think it’s just based on Mayan architecture and located in “Somewhere, Central America”

[humble anvil]

In a map or in vehicles? Mexico hasn’t really had any indigenous tank development so there is no need for a Mexican Tech Tree. A Mexican-inspired map would be cool though.

How to become really good at Mines

[native zodiac]

use tanks with lots of gun depression

[stone tendon]

For any map, only use positions if you know you will be able to use it to its full potential; don’t use any position and disregard danger

So don’t just rush hill regradless of the match up, there is always an alternate

[spark rover]

Hmm okay

[marble gyro]

go hulldown, if u have more mediums than the other team and they're going to take the hill follow them, if not just hold the ridge

[spark rover]

I have a medium myself and like which is the best place to cover in case I spot a KV-2

[marble gyro]

kv2 is inaccurate as hell, just try to make him fire (or bait him into miss going forward and backwards) and then farm him while he reloads (count the 20-22 seconds of reload after he fired so u know when it's time to hide again)

[flat oar]

Droodles Blitz has a good mines video on Youtube, esp if you're looking for medium spots

[spark rover]

Ok thank you

[spark rover]

Ok got it

[flat oar]

That said, don't do what a Drac did once which is park in the medium spot on the red (my) side of the hill. TDs can see u.

[kindred latch]

Don’t watch droodles…

Nope, you can shoot through that window

[ocean haven]

But how tank will go up hill?

[left parrot]

There used to be a blocky pixely fun mode in WoT PC and the map was completely flat so they can do that (there were thick walls of blocks to use as cover tho)

[quaint bay]

There is an open window in that building so it's not actually a ping or hack.. I sometimes shoot there
.

[rough sluice]

Ok,thx

on multiple occasions WG has teased that lost temple may make a return this year. we don’t know much beyond that, though they seem less enthusiastic about reforming mirage given that supremacy mode can’t be played on it

Hope Molendijck doesnt have anymore invisible walls, it cant be worse

They would be useless on it as there areant any big hills to climb

But yea it is a shame what has happened with the invisible walls, especially on port bay.

[indigo pecan]

how to be useful as kv4 in Mines

To put it in better words, its better and enhanced versions will come into blitz(basically reworked)

where did you find this source from?

[steady mantle]

From droodles

[stone tendon]

🤮

[scenic stratus]

The actual source is #coming-soon anyways.

[humble anvil]

Never trust Droodles, ever, for anything.

[stone tendon]

Yea he stated that molendijk is twice as large as other maps in the game

My sides

[humble anvil]

The fool, honestly. I remember when he used to be a decent channel before turning into the same clickbait trash as half of Blitz YouTubers out there.
The only good thing is that his server posts aeson000’s leaks which are trustworthy.

[lusty warren]

Well it's pretty large

[stone tendon]

What am I looking at

[steady mantle]

Idk

Is actually something and i dont care to understand it

[lusty warren]

Map size apparently!

[stone tendon]

Hmm yes

[dusty jasper]

^clever illustration of blitz maps relative "size", honestly. It's all about usable space.

[steady gate]

this needs to got in #blitz-art

[ocean ravine]

Molendijk isn’t big at all

It feels tiny actually with all the hills

[elfin moth]

Hey, give me few hrs, after school i'll send u some pictures
What u r seeing is how vast the map is, in the game
So like the ratio between the area inside the red borders vs outside

[next scaffold]

around 450-500 m

compared to copperfield, 350-400

for mines i can't get a good range, it's around 350-500.
need the "distance traveled" indicator back

[lean mauve]

Maan, I hope there will be a map as big as the ones on pc

[stone tendon]

You are doing that wrong if you are getting such small numbers, you can see the true numbers of the map dimensions on map inspector

[next scaffold]

i forgot that exist

[signal oak]

any suggestions on the new map, i don't seem to figure how to play in it

[dreamy geyser]

If you can't hulldown, you can't play the map right

[marble gyro]

go always to the medium side (small village), unless your team has only 1/no mediums, and try to break through

The only map u did get to play was in mirage
Also since we r on the topic of maps, y'day i was digging through the game files and i found 3 folders, pdr images, under the maps folder
And in them were speedfree folders, the guys who make high quality Foliage
And in all those folder was this file named
Speedfree asia bonsai
Dk what to make of dat, return of lost temple in pdr ?

[lament granite]

there’s a proposed map request, available to be found in #coming-soon whose pirate ship looks like it may probably become the replacement for “mirage”

[elfin moth]

Ohh yaa, i forgot bout dat xd

[jagged holly]

which map is the ship map? i havent even played it before

[lament granite]

it has not been fully developed or released into the public domain for universal use just yet

[stone tendon]

Well it’s possible it’s for a lost temple rework, or that other Asian map that they leaked a year ago

[lament granite]

which one, the dynastic petal or yamato’s harbour?

[stone tendon]

Neither, it’s not released but they leaked it a long time ago

[lament granite]

what was it called, or what does it look like? can i see what this is about, where were you able to find all of this information?

they will undergo a major “reworking” unlike mines’ purely cosmetic edits

[autumn copper]

app name ?

[stone tendon]

Unity

[quaint bay]

Don't worry it won't be removed permanently.. They remove it cuz they will rework it.. I'm believing that they might make it the very first HD map.

[quaint bay]

Reminds me of a map in Wot pc but i don't plat wot pc pretty much...

The map is huge that players might camp cuz too many open areas that they can easily get shot and spotted.

[autumn copper]

Ok thanks :)

[obtuse verge]

i tested wot pc and there are too many sealclubbers

[stone tendon]

Open areas so fast tanks can freely cruise around, but yea it would be campy

[bitter python]

Where is Mirage and Lost Temple?

What is so hard about giving Mirage 3 caps for supremacy?

[quaint bay]

@bitter python

[quaint bay]

Well probably cuz of the hill.

[bitter python]

I don't think it's that hard or time consuming to upscale the textures of a map.

If they're short on people to do that, they should start using the money they get from gamblers and ads to increase their workforce.

[quaint bay]

Well they are the developers of the game.. And you don't even know if it's EZ to make a map or not or some other stuff. Usually it takes months for them to make a map.

[bitter python]

They aren't making a new map, they just planting 3 cap points for Mirage, and god knows what for Lost Temple.

This isn't equal to Molendijk or the 2 or 3 map that got leaked/showcased and forgotten to time.

[quaint bay]

Well it might be the small river just near the train and the lake that is causing the problem...

Yup, the two terrains are blocking the base point caps.

[bitter python]

Put one cap below the waterfall's overhang, another smack center in the desert, maybe closer to the hill, so that people gotta go down it to fire at people there, and then put a third on more to the corner of the sea

[bitter python]

Me in Light Blue.

[quaint bay]

I agree with your idea.

[bitter python]

Make people fight for the points.

[quaint bay]

Lmao, maybe WG will make the train tracks stop fast tanks to base C.. Just like Ghost factory.

Like WTH why the train tracks slows you down.

[modern maple]

Because they now actually have a collision model and aren‘t just texture

[lament granite]

it’s not the textures that they’re upgrading, it’s the layouts themselves. and unfortunately the position of CFO at WG doesn’t currently seem to be open 😉

[bitter python]

The layout? Of what? Hopefully not the map itself, because I don't want to see Mirage ruined.

[lament granite]

mines got “reworked” which was a purely aesthetic change. if they were doing the same thing to mirage and lost temple, it wouldn’t have to take ... well over a year. besides, they said themselves that these maps would be undergoing a significant makeover

[bitter python]

Then Mirage is probably ruined.

[lament granite]

🧐

[narrow vector]

I thought that map they showed off several months ago was Mirage reworked

[lament widget]

They’ve posted what mirage will look like in coming soon a couple times

[lusty warren]

They never said that map with the ship in the middle is mirage

[lament granite]

it could be, since we’ve also gotten a sneak peek into a map which resembles the “lost temple” rather strikingly

[lament granite]

my guess would be that it’s an entirely new and different one, otherwise they wouldn’t have teased it in the way that they did

[lusty warren]

that's what I'm saying

[lament granite]

i know, i should have mentioned @lament widget instead

[elfin moth]

Especially, the cover map they used when we logged into the client in patch 8.8

[lament granite]

that didn’t even look like the upcoming asian map in #coming-soon at all, either @gray gust though!

[ionic current]

Anyone got a good video showcasing what position a jgdtiger, jgdpanther and or jpgpz e100 should take in all the maps?

[lament granite]

it really depends on where your team goes, but (depending on the situation) you could push onto the front lines alongside some of the other tanks with decently strong armour

[ionic current]

Yeah thats what i usually do but my teammates really arent that good so i usually do ok but die in the end

[narrow vector]

Many of the map's features lines up with those of mirage

[lament granite]

there are some maps in the game which are, on the whole, quite similar to others ... we just tend to notice their differences more clearly once we get used to them, because we study them for the beneficial effects

[narrow vector]

Yeah but in this case the sniping position on the heavy side with the bushes and the bridge with the water underneath on the light side line up exactly

[lament granite]

i’ve completely forgotten what it’s like to play on “mirage”

[lusty warren]

They're aesthetically not similar imo, and in the coming soon channel they indicated it was "new" so I didn't it's mirage

[narrow vector]

I don't blame them for saying that, cause other than what I stated being relatively similar, about everything else of the map is reworked or new because... Well let's be honest mirage wasn't exactly the most balanced or well designed map to be played on

[lament granite]

in a certain sense, it would be “new” if it were to come back after such an extended hiatus ... or they could twist themselves into defending such an explanation, at least

[elfin moth]

Ye same, its a distant memory now

[dim warren]

When can you provide the realistic texture of the game? What we like is the realistic tank warfare, not cartoon-style tanks. Can you change the map texture-style in the game from cartoon_style to realistic style before doing pbr?

[narrow vector]

I'm pretty sure any 'cartoon style' textures you're talking about are not intentional/ just low res and would probably be solved with the introduction of pbr map textures.

[stone tendon]

I think the addition of PBR maps might have some maps removed like what happened in WoT pc

I hope Castilla and Canal won’t be removed considering they are very old maps

[void shale]

I doubt they would be, Copperfield would be much more likely to get remove and revamped than Castilla, and Canal is younger than both of them

[lament granite]

i think the greater diversity in terms of gameplay is beneficial. even if there’s a map that you dislike, or think should get removed, you will only come across it 3% or 4% of the time ... no big deal, there’s a good reason why skills that prove to be effective on one map don’t necessarily carry over or transfer themselves perfectly to the others

[valid swift]

Hey, what happened to the Dynasty (I don’t remember its name) map? Weren’t they taking it out of rotation to be reworked for higher tier gameplay or something?! I might be remembering something else, but I swear it had to do something with a map..😅

[lament granite]

“dynasty’s pearl” still remains in the game, you might be thinking of the “lost temple” map

[valid swift]

oh yeah thats what it was! so, are they reworking it for higher tier though?!

[lament granite]

supposedly and presumably so, but no one really knows. but if it was just a simple“rework” though, i’d reckon that it shouldn’t take this long

[valid swift]

see, that is what i thought! i personally like the map, even if it was for ''lower tiers'', and wouldnt mind to see it for higher tiers too... would be an extra map to play on

[lament granite]

same, i’m already missing it greatly, especially those hills and bridges that it had

[open minnow]

when's this map coming? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/502008146630541333/855418909506142228/image.png?width=585&height=585

[stone tendon]

Wow its just the original rockfield

[weary hare]

Still waiting for a Battle of the Bulge map with the Arden Forest on one side, the high hills of France on the other, and a rolling river to the North. Does anyone know an email address to War Gaming you can submit ideas?

[elfin moth]

Soon
So as WG said, they will be releasing 3 maps this year
Molendijk came in feb
So Map 2 wuld come in June
Map 3 wuld come in October
On top of it, in patch 9.0 (April 13th or 20th 2022) we will see the 1st map with PBR technology
So yea, it will come out soon

[rain frost]

You sound pretty serious about those dates ...

[stone tendon]

Map concept - 540x540

[lament widget]

Bruh <@&481447501690568709> I feel like this is a bit much

[dreamy geyser]

why? just why? not like he's gonna single handedly replace the map designer's job

[lament widget]

Hmm, I wonder

Maybe because the moderators have gone into great extent the past few days, explicitly saying that anything about what is going on won’t be tolerated?

[dreamy geyser]

does that require @ ing the mods for everything though?

[lament widget]

I’ve seen moderators pinged for barely anything

[dreamy geyser]

ah yes, the "I saw someone else do it, so I can do it too" argument

[lament widget]

That’s not my reasoning, lmao. It’s a serious topic and I don’t think it should be taken lightly

[dreamy geyser]

you do realize WoT PC has a ukrainian map in the game right?

[lament widget]

And?

[dreamy geyser]

I heard it was actually a popular map, though that might just be because it's one of the oldest map

[lament widget]

I love Kharkov. But that’s been in the game for years. This is something that is developing as we speak, and like I said, shouldn’t be joked about

[dreamy geyser]

I wouldn't mind a Kiev map.

tbh, I feel a general lack of variety of maps, and a map based on Kiev would make a good winter themed map

[lament widget]

Himmelsdorf

[dreamy geyser]

yea, we have like 3 or 4 winter maps, out of at least 10 maps

[elfin moth]

😉
So basically 3 maps in 12 months right... so all the maps wuld be 4 months apart
And patch dates are easily predictable cuz mid Wednesday every month xd

[austere lark]

Is it your job to determine what is @ able and what is not?

[dreamy geyser]

did I ever imply or say that?

[austere lark]

Yes actually

[dreamy geyser]

huh. ok

[austere lark]

You already forget what you said?

[dreamy geyser]

as the saying goes "of learned ignorance"

[austere lark]

As the saying goes “stay in your lane”

[dreamy geyser]

as the saying goes "okie dokie"

[austere lark]

move on

[dreamy geyser]

sure.
So, as I was saying, yea, I think we have too many summer maps, or at least more summer maps than winter and desert combined

too many european based maps too, but I get that tanks in WW2 have something of a no rap over in the Pacific

[elfin moth]

Hmmm

[dreamy geyser]

It would still be nice to see more desert and winter maps, or maps that don't take place somewhere in the atlantic

[wide shale]

A another map like Faust would be cool

[dreamy geyser]

Faust, to me, was one of the Blitz' "dead on arrival content".

[wide shale]

I like the theme how you are fighting around in a large facility

[dreamy geyser]

Isn't ghost factory basically that but better?

[wide shale]

Eh its a different feel, you fight around abandoned buildings and structures, not a military base

[dreamy geyser]

fair point

you know what would be cool, a map that takes place on an Island, and the coastline is just outside of the border.

[quaint bay]

guadalcanal? it's a pacific island and i feel like it would fit well

[dreamy geyser]

Yea, that could work. Or Wake Island.

[quaint bay]

i want another desert map.

[dreamy geyser]

this would be both impossible and hated, but what about a small version of PC's Ghost town?

I'm trying to think of a way to make a desert map fun, but all it comes to is either a wild west map or an african setting

Somalia. A post-WW2 map with a whole village of destructible buildings with large debris filling a coastline and in parts of the village too.

idk, i'm just spitballin to myself

[jolly cedar]

or it could be a more flat map with trees on 1 side and a town on the other

[dreamy geyser]

Yea, Forests haven't been explored enough in blitz. Forests are fun and scenic on PC, but it looks like blitz never touched on the idea, at least in battlemaps

[jolly cedar]

but also make most tree unbreakable

so after driving around it dosent become another field

[dreamy geyser]

I can think of two maps for a forest based map, both of which are winter. A map based on an impossibility of a tank battle in the Sierra Nevada, or a map similar to mannerheim line

[jolly cedar]

that would be cool

[dreamy geyser]

idk, i'm just spitballing ideas

could be a map in madagascar with the indestructible trees being those massive thicc trees

[lament granite]

i wouldn’t be so sure about any of them containing an existing map, just upgraded to pbr

[lament granite]

it’s literally the best map in every way, why do you hate it so much?

[dreamy geyser]

I don't, it's just that every time people talk about Faust, it's never good

[lament granite]

but how would the tanks get there separately, and land on the shore?

[lament granite]

@quaint bay any of those options would prove to be too large to fit into a single map for this game

although in fairness, so far nobody has really managed to work out what that would look like @dreamy geyser either

[lament widget]

What have people said? I haven’t seen or heard any of this

[dreamy geyser]

haven't heard that one before either

[lament granite]

i should’ve been more clear, it’s about the “desert gold’s operation” next month, where amaunet expressed serious reservations in her preview of the upcoming update (it stuck with me, because that’s the only clip i’ve ever seen from her channel) for instance @dreamy geyser

[lament granite]

the battle pass for march has already been criticized for perpetuating stereotypes regarding african colonization and economic development, or accused of downplaying their growth and progress ... not sure WG needs to do “more of the same” moving forward

[dreamy geyser]

Wait wait, what? When i heard desert gold, i was thinking of the african campaign, like el alamein, not this colonial stuff people like to throw around.

I know the WG community can be quick to judge, but this is a new low

[lament granite]

certain individuals have taken issue with the wording, which you can now directly retrieve (from #coming-soon of course)

we’ll join an expedition to africa looking for oil deposits

[dreamy geyser]

That's it? Call me insensitive if you want, but that's just them trying to make the name work. Although i have a feeling people would've gotten their hair ripped out of it was about mummies and pharoahs instead.

[lament granite]

this is the part that was considered to be rather questionable, given the optics of (likely european) outsiders descending on a foreign continent, in order to extract its natural resources (for which history bears many similar, and tragic, examples)

[dreamy geyser]

People are just looking for a rise with that. Otherwise, they really shouldn't be playing WG, let alone WoTB if they get that easily offended.

Anyways, and anyhow, WG should explore more ways of maps. I'm not gonna cram words in other people's mouths, but personally, I'm kinda hoping for more maps not set in europe.

I just want more variety in map selection.

[lament granite]

you are a highly opinionated individual, and so am i. perhaps it would be best to continue any argument elsewhere, lest we both get muted 🙂

[dreamy geyser]

I'm blaming you if we do get muted

I wonder how an Okinawa map would work. Or maps showing semblance to the pacific front

[lament granite]

i think that would be a wonderful idea

[lament granite]

imo the exact quantity of maps that this game offers atm is fine, but as a fellow fan of variety, your suggestion would still be preferable, in the hopes of achieving more diverse gameplay

[dreamy geyser]

I'm not so sure. There's more summer maps than desert and winter maps. Possibly combined. And then considering maps based on continent, they're easily almost all in europe with notable exceptions. Don't get me wrong, I know tanks mostly fought in europe

[lament granite]

considering that i have not expressed any remotely objectionable, controversial, disrespectful or rude sentiment, i sincerely hope you are joking ... but for now, let’s just leave it at that

[lament granite]

and tanks also generally did not fight in the desert. perhaps my personal inclinations are getting in the way of my sounder judgment, since the category of tanks that i usually play does not perform adequately without cover, which their customary dunes provide in an exceptionally limited capacity

[dreamy geyser]

The tanks i play live under cover, but terrain is irrelevant to the topic. WG can make their own twist on maps if they want, but it shouldn't hurt to make a map not set in europe

I saw an article PC was testing a new asiatic map which is once in a blue moon thing (don't worry, it is garbage)

[open minnow]

Wow, thanks dude, wasn’t expecting anyone to respond yet with this much detail

[quaint bay]

i would like an irish map, with some irish relics, and many rocks, also add some trees and grass, and some ruined buildings

[elfin moth]

Culd be, but an existing map when being rendered in PBR is usually a great time to change some fundamental aspects of the map
Like they had done with WoT 1.0

[elfin moth]

Np mate😉

[lament granite]

but we don’t know when it will be coming, nor about what’s included in 9.0

personally i reckon that the first pbr map won’t be until this summer @gray gust at the earliest, just my suspicion 🤞 though

[elfin moth]

Ye it will come in patch 9.0 dat will come in April
Unless there is an 8.10 planned...

[narrow vector]

I personally think it'll be 10.0 that we'll see a pbr map, it just sounds more likely imo

Basically in a year, which will probably give them some more time to work on it, give the engine some modifications, and just have the benefit of having people with more capable devices

[lusty warren]

They said pbr maps come this year, never said when this year

[full marlin]

hopefully in 9.0

[kindred scaffold]

I don't think anyone remembers this

[lament granite]

which version of “castilla” was this?

[kindred scaffold]

No idea, probably this was even before game release

[stone tendon]

Woah, if only we had big trees like that here

Also notice the spawn caps

Where’d you find that image

[kindred scaffold]

In document from Wargaming from 2016?

[stone tendon]

Oh ok because I found some of the same kinds of photos on a developers social media

Not exactly the same but it shows prehistoric mines and rockfield

[kindred scaffold]

Old Falls Creek

Newer one

[stone tendon]

You have that open in resource editor?

[kindred scaffold]

Old Oasis Palms

[stone tendon]

My 268's favourite map

[elfin moth]

Boi the game has come a long way

[quaint bay]

Old memories

[spark rover]

looks like Thar desert ,Rajasthan ,India

[dreamy geyser]

Looks like sand river

[limpid kayak]

Lovely to see it back again as it brings some old memories back. The sand mountains as I refer to them were perfect for shots across the map 🥰

[stone tendon]

That was in one of the prototypes for its rework, it was never implemented

[burnt viper]

Enjoy a video of Old Middleburg. I plan to make a better video in the near future.

[lament granite]

does it ever feel like you sometimes get great teammates who perform excellently on certain maps, but you still end up being placed on teams of far poorer quality, even consistently terrible ones, on others

[elfin moth]

Oooo

[kindred mauve]

?

[stone tendon]

Back when middleburg had an actual hill, btw how are the free cam controls?

[long peak]

Lost Temple!!!! I miss you!!!

[obtuse verge]

wg when will mirage and gravity come back

[marble gyro]

gravity probably in 8.9, Mirage and lost temple in 9.0 or smh, when wg will decide to start releasing HD maps

[lament granite]

i wouldn’t be so sure about those dates. according to their historical schedule, you could probably deduce that the gravitational mode will be returning in 9.1 at the earliest, while “mirage” won’t be the first map with PBR and it probably won’t have it when it comes back initially, either. so i assume that those maps won’t make an appearance until this summer at least, but realistically they will be arriving in the fall, most likely

[slate linden]

When is gravity mode coming back been a while is there something I need to know

[marble gyro]

@slate linden

also keep in mind that there are several game modes in the game (7 to be exact) so obviously some time will pass between a mode and another, since there's an avarage of 2 gamemodes per update (about a month period)

[gray gust]

Average Action X enjoyer#5964 was banned

[lament granite]

if i remember my calculations correctly, there are approximately 0.3 special game modes made available each month, although the number has been steadily rising of late. remember that “burning games” is still due to return before gravity does, while mad games, realistic mode, and uprising should be coming around the same time (who knows, even “big boss” could grow into it, as well)

[ionic current]

bib boss was really fun ngl

[kindred mauve]

It's interesting if they made realistic an official mode like a permanent one

[green pasture]

There was a flaw in the mode tho since not every person had equal strength because of on player being the boss if you had a bad player as your boss you were almost sure to loose.

[lament granite]

we collected a dataset which showed that the boss with fewer HP was likely to win ... tank destroyers are the strongest class, followed by medium tanks, while their lightest counterparts performed the worst

[wide shale]

Cause the lightest tanks always get yeeted to death

[lament granite]

it was assembled and compiled by numerous members

[burnt viper]

after all, it works after those years (Oasis Palms, reworked in 2.0)
Note: Recorded using 8.8.0 steam client, map is from version 1.2.1 (Yea, that's a looong time ago)

[modern maple]

It been such a long time… I can‘t even remember it anymore 😦

[elfin moth]

How do u do it mate?

[burnt viper]

I didn't do anything, it was all in the game (a long time ago, but it was there)

[modern maple]

Now this is just cruel

[drowsy cobalt]

Good old times 😪

[elfin moth]

Ohhuuu

[quaint bay]

Did anyone try? Is this useful?

[nocturne mortar]

The main thing I find it useful for is it's ability to load specific shots from replays into armour inspector so you can see exactly how something hit/penned I stead of relying on the dodgy in game markers

[lusty ravine]

Yeah but i suggest go custom room for map training

I honestly forgot this channel exists

[scenic stratus]

It's a [name of this map] for slightly better conversation compared to other discussion channels

[wide shale]

Looks like a modernized port bay
At least I think thats the name of the map

[elfin moth]

Nope, its actually Safe Haven aka Yamato Harbor from WoT

[wide shale]

Pretty cool

thats the highest level of culture I've ever seen in this channel, congrats

[atomic frigate]

There should be night maps

[steady gate]

vineyards used to be night but WG lit the map up.

[atomic frigate]

F

[steady gate]

l,et me find it

[atomic frigate]

Would be cool to add them back in, maybe a Halloween event could bring it back

And the lanterns would be lit

Tracer shells might be a thing too, so you can aim better

[steady gate]

https://na.wotblitz.com/en/news/updates/morning-has-broken-in-vineyards/

[atomic frigate]

Nice

[cloud light]

What maps did u hate on this game...

Me Hellas, and Wasteland bcuz it have Invisible walls

[stone tendon]

Faust and dynasty’a Pearl because of how limited the maps are

[cloud light]

And also Vineyard exist...

[marble gyro]

why? vineyards is pretty big, just the town is unplayable and usless but it's fine, almost every map has an usless zone

[cloud light]

I don't think so as a TD player...

Or probably i'm wrong bcuz i was just like 1 year old to the game

[marble gyro]

tds don't really fit anymore in any map unless u play aggressively (apart from few exceptions like Dead Rail, which is the best td map in the game imo), because they aren't really part of the current meta

[stone tendon]

Vineyards is a great map, every place on that map is useable

[stone tendon]

Canal and Castilla are also nice for TDs, a lot of climbs, same would be the case for Port Bay if they didnt patch the whole place with invisible walls.

[burnt viper]

@rain frost, you know what to do .....

<@&481447501690568709> Ban that guy, is posting nsfw...

Thanks, whoever banned that guy

[karmic ingot]

dont know if this asked before or not but why electric poles don't have cables connected each other? is it because of the physic engine or something

(also im not sure if this right channel to ask lol)

[wide shale]

Cheap graphics, and it would be a little challenging to make the wires fall when u break a pole

[karmic ingot]

i see, that was i thinked too, thanks for the answer

[left parrot]

I wonder if they can just disappear when the poles are broken

[quaint bay]

This could be a good spot for spotting and using td's

[stone tendon]

Impossible to climb up there, though other climbs on malinovka do exist

Map concept - 540x540 - redo of this: #maps-discussion message

[wide shale]

Looks like mirage but fully desert

[quaint bay]

It is bcoz of the borderline. But if wg adjust the boderline of this particular map it'll be good, I guess

[vast sable]

Looks like a fun low tier map - the town next to the pond might be a bit exposed

[agile pewter]

Could work but I see that peninsula area just not being used at all, the lake blocks it off from the rest of the map making it essentially useless unless you put a bridge or two across it
Basically it makes it so that only 2/3rds of the map is playable

Nvm I saw the road thing but I still think it won’t be used as much since it’s so far away

[stone tendon]

I made a thing in paint with the use of the peninsula, granted the place probably wont be too busy, but I imagine if one team leaves the place open, it will bite them in the rump. Also yea the neck of the lake is very shallow, though the lake itself is drownable.

[agile pewter]

Yeah with the red arrows you can see it better, could work tbh

[frank palm]

ah yes one of my fav map

[past goblet]

what happened to the lost temple map and when will he be back?

[stone tendon]

It’s currently being reworked indefinitely, so it may or may not come back

[past goblet]

I want this map back. In my opinion it should also be available for X teirs as it used to be. The map is very good, well-balanced and WG takes it and the mine map which is the worst map in the game is still available and for X tiers what is absurdity

[lament widget]

please keep in mind if it does come back it will look different than it used to. same with mirage

[ionic current]

Will they make bigger maps?

[stone tendon]

No lately they have been making maps smaller, black goldville and winter malinovka are old and larger than new maps like ghost factory and molendijk

[ionic current]

Okay, i like the bigger maps. Sad to see they are getting smaller.

[stone tendon]

Yep it’s sad but blitz nowadays is leaning more towards “blitz” style game play instead of old style world of tanks gameplay. I also prefer how they used to do it.

[ionic current]

Yea, one of the reasons i like this game is because its not internet dependant and i can still play quite well with 400+ ping on the larger maps.

[elfin moth]

Well, according to a 2021(or 2020, don't remember) leak from CMM (Comrade Mass Media, russian leakers)
A game mode ish consisting of wheeled tanks was in discussion, which wuld feature larger maps
Also there was a discussion on grand battles, which wuld again feature bigger maps

[next scaffold]

I have a map idea
Located in egypt we're fighting besides the pyramid

Another one is that we're fighting in a mountain or a hill near a flooded city

[elfin moth]

^noice

[ionic current]

A pyramid map would be cool. Maybe you could go inside the pyramid and it could be some kind of maze like the pyramids are irl.

[elfin moth]

Ye, like how they did with the ghost factory's factory!!

[ruby coyote]

A Verdun map would be pretty cool imo.

[elfin moth]

Ye

[crimson geyser]

What map/s in WOT are also the map/s in WOTB?

I only know Mines, Normandy (Overlord in WOT), Himmelsdorf (No hill in WOTB 😦 )and winter malinovka (malinovka in WOT)

[stone tendon]

Dead rail = prokharovka
Dynasty’s Pearl = Paris
Oasis palms = Sand river

[crimson geyser]

oh nice Thnx!

[foggy cave]

Can anyone Coach me on hulldown for the conqueror or e75 lol I'm decent with them but exp gain is so bad when playing with bad players and na server has good players but can't play in teams well

Again good players just terrible at working together

[agile pewter]

That just sounds like all the servers

[vast sable]

Don’t go hulldown with the e75 only go hulldown with the conq if you have good hp

[foggy cave]

I don't with e75 I side scrape that still doesn't stop my trash team work issue

[zinc trout]

The moment you realize the E75 has 8 degrees of gun depression and can easily hulldown

[vast sable]

The moment you realize you have 0 turret armour and will get heat spammed at you and lose all your hp

[zinc trout]

You gave a decent amount of turret armor, and exposing less of your tank is always better

[vast sable]

Well ofc exposing less is good I’m saying that you will get penned reliably if you try to hulldown

[zinc trout]

Not really, as long as you’re moving your front is rather thin and you have a nice mantlet

[elfin moth]

But do remember, all maps in wotb are made from scratch, tho it might hav been inspired from wot

[stone tendon]

Yamato boat is ported from world of warships

[elfin moth]

I said the map, as in the terrain , level, environment
Some assets can be used across all the games

[finite venture]

what do you think if all the maps in the game are expanded!?

[marble gyro]

wg is already working on that, we'll probably see bigger maps in around 1 year (1.0.0 update imo)

[stone tendon]

They don't have to make the maps bigger, just give them good elevation differences; don't make every map flat, to make the map feel bigger. Sort of like Castilla, which is actually smaller than Yamato harbour, but feels bigger.

[quaint bay]

not really, in 8/10 situations light can't spot cause they will be outspotted, sometimes they can spot without getting spotted but only on few maps

[stone tendon]

They should just put the amount of vegetation they used to put in maps, of course you will get spotted scouting through a barren map. You need lots of bushes to do what you can do in WoT PC.

[rose bay]

Look what I found in the old messages

[stone tendon]

Looks like old rock field

[rose bay]

It's not Rockfield xd.
It's an old map teased long ago

[stone tendon]

I know I’m saying the design is the same as old rockfield…

[rose bay]

Old Rockfield but with lakes

[stone tendon]

yea

[elfin moth]

Ayeo, its an upcoming map xd

[wide shale]

been upcoming for a while

[agile pewter]

it's a rework of Mirage

[rose bay]

Looks cool, but I guess the reason why it took so long is how open/exposed D and C are

[lament widget]

Looks a lot like el helluf from pc
The layout at least

[stone tendon]

Oh true it is pretty similar

[stone tendon]

I don't know the layout looks too different to mirage

[elfin moth]

But the interior of the map is nothing like el hauf(rip my spellin xd)

[devout bluff]

yeah it doesn’t look like el halluf at all but there is a war thunder map that looks very similar to this

[agile pewter]

It’s got the same water areas and they just massively redid the whole thing

[stone tendon]

Hmm maybe we’ll see

It does look like a map where spotters might have a bit of a role, like molendijk

[stone tendon]

Map concept - 525 x 525 - redo of this: #maps-discussion message

Ik I’m just saying

[chilly thicket]

It would be cool if there's a dedicated training map with concrete obstacles and firing ranges

[wide shale]

Sounds alot like the old tutorial

[faint lynx]

We had one on old tutorial

[elfin moth]

Exactly, it was available only in the tutorial, and not in training rooms :((

[chilly thicket]

Ik I still remember

[chilly thicket]

But only for training rooms not for battle

[steady mantle]

Would be cool play the fun modes in rooms...

[steady gate]

but then who would want to play fun modes?

[steady mantle]

A lot of people, fun modes are fun to grind, i just get the p.44 pantera because i played a lot of gravity mode and the fact of everyone really try their best to win

[chilly thicket]

Agreed

[indigo coral]

Yes

[edgy totem]

Remove mines as a high tier map, fix dead rails med side because it’s way too open and it’s dumb, fix port bay south spawn and make it even because if heavy tanks do go c it’s an instant loss

[glacial halo]

I dislike the factory map it's nothing at all like a real place

[stone tendon]

Dead rail med side is literally a hill

[marble gyro]

maps are not supposed to be realistic, probably no map actually exists in reality

[steady mantle]

Isn't to be a real factory, is to be a tatical that can afford all tatics of all tanks

[faint lynx]

Since we’re talking about Ghost Factory already

I think its fine but a lot of teams really love to go to the medium more hilly side

Rarely does the heavy factory side actually get utilised and won in

[edgy totem]

No it’s not at least for high tier because we get nuked by everyone in heavy side or spawn

[edgy totem]

Ima say it right now, heavy side is underestimated, it’s really good because if everyone goes heavy side and the other team goes med side and it’s supremacy we get 3 caps for free and they only get 1 which is A so it’s easy to just hold and wait for the push and good comp teams use it to their advantage by at least speed capping D and whatever the other cap is for spawn

[steady mantle]

Heavy players argument!

[edgy totem]

Agreed

[faint lynx]

You have a good point but I dont play supremacy lol

[edgy totem]

Well I do, it’s the closest thing to comp and a good way to get used to caps gameplay for comp

[stone tendon]

Looks like a hill to me

[steady mantle]

This isn't a hill this a freaking mountain

[stone tendon]

its maybe 10 meters I don't know what you consider a mountain

[sterile beacon]

Vjj

[indigo brook]

Wargaming should create more maps dedicated twords side scraping and angling rather than hull down. This will keep the game more active and dynamic.

[sinful charm]

...you can't change the maps?
if you're talking about selecting certain maps to not include in battle those aren't coming anytime soon

[mental smelt]

Ooow

@sinful charm uhh i mean change mode actually

[sinful charm]

select the icon on the right side of the battle button and select your battle mode of choice
for random battles you can also deselect either encounter or supremacy

[stone tendon]

Sidescraping is for noobs, tanks dont work in urban environments

[sinful charm]

sidescraping isn't just limited to urban environments
if you do it correctly you can use anything to sidescrape

[mental smelt]

@sinful charm only show multiplied xp

[sinful charm]

the orange button on the right hand side

[mental smelt]

@sinful charm still i can't find it also no icon only show multiplied exp

[mental smelt]

@sinful charm Whattt i cant see it BBRUHHH

[sinful charm]

send in a screenshot

[sinful charm]

what's your battle count

[mental smelt]

@sinful charm its 127

[sinful charm]

you haven't even unlocked a tier 5 tank yet
plus your battle count is nowhere near the 2K requirement for typical matchmaking without the bots

[mental smelt]

@sinful charm umm so it required tier 5 tank and battle count 2k?

[sinful charm]

yes
you're still battling with bots right now

[mental smelt]

@sinful charm obviously yes cuz i play 2 weeks ago

[mental smelt]

So hard tho 😂😂

[indigo brook]

Even though it is reasonably possible to side scrape within a hulldown environment. I have to respectfully disagree with your comment.

Reason being if you playing an tank like the IS-4. It is going to get clapped by hulldown meta comp tanks such at the yoh, TP-60, and Super Conqueror.

My analogy may not be the best but I hope you can understand my perspective.

[mental smelt]

@sinful charm wdymn unlock tier 5 so i need research tier 5 or i need to buy it too?

[river canopy]

Sidescraping is 100% for noobs. I keep saying this, and I’ll say it again, but sidescraping is just giving your time lots of time to fully aim, and get the first shot on you for literally no reason

[sinful charm]

research the tank then buy it

[shy haven]

Sidescrap is good for heavy Tanks

[woven wagon]

not for the french heavies

[sinful charm]

for SOME heavy tanks

[woven wagon]

most of soviet,Maus line and that it

[shy haven]

Ye french heavys Have no armor buff french Tanks

[sinful charm]

and even the soviets can't do it consistently because of the pike nose

[woven wagon]

try reverse sidecrape

[river canopy]

It’s not. There’s like 3 tanks in the game where I’d consider side scraping to not be a terrible idea

[brazen hemlock]

@mental smelt it’ll show when you get a tier V

[latent crystal]

yes, it looks cool

[slim hawk]

Whens mirage coming backkkk i want mirage backkkkkk

[magic smelt]

Mirage...? Was it that one desert map with an oasis and a little village right next to it? YES totally this map needs to get a comeback. And then not only for Low Tier tanks, but for the high tiers aswell.

[sinful charm]

WG's still in the process of reworking them, and considering current affairs, the reworking might take longer than expected.

[magic smelt]

Yeah i guess so. Still that map brings back memories of my first times playing WoTB

[quaint bay]

ikr its so good for all tanks

[hollow stone]

That is 100% false have you seen HisRoyalFatness sidescrape and he is one of the best blitz players in the world

[quaint bay]

Hi

[short otter]

That E5 with a cupola... Good times. Never got the E5 until after the cupola's removal, however.

[buoyant coral]

hold on the map is gone?

[marble gyro]

both Lost Temple and Mirage have been removed for more than 1 and half year now

[buoyant coral]

Wait why

[alpine otter]

Make way for new maps I guess

[narrow vector]

Given the Wargaming news, I think it's safe to say the soonest we'd get pbr map is probably update 10.0 /next year

[elfin moth]

Nope, the 1st PBR map is gonna be this year and is gonna be in updat 9.0 as stated by the level designer in the Christmas stream

[narrow vector]

Yeah but that was before all this stuff happened; it would be nice if they could still release it in 9.0 but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't

I guess we'll find out in a month or so

[hybrid grove]

french tanks are meant for good players cause no armor but when they are played well, they are monster cause of theyr exllent gun and mobility. so no they don't need a buff

[shy haven]

OK cry more play not with french Tanks

[analog rune]

French tank are drums tank they are not meant to block damage theyr were make for spam other tanks.

[brittle ferry]

Omc my stroke had a brain I when that read

[elfin moth]

Yus, but i need to stress on the fact dat as they hav been working on pbr textures for tanks since pre 6.8
They mostly hav been working on pbr maps from around the same time, so ik dat them maps are ready
Ofc the implication of it is the question

[analog rune]

Sorry for bad english im french so i kinda have problems talking. I thought i put it in my bio.

[manic pilot]

Add

[steady gate]

thats a big map isnt it? looks like warthunder imo

[lament widget]

Wot console version of Pilsen. I believe hes talking about how it has parts of the map labeled

[steady gate]

ah yes. 🤦‍♂️

[elfin moth]

Yuss, if i am not wrong the same sector name feature is also there in WoT but implemented is a different way

[quaint bay]

It looks good but dont know if they add it 😬

[trail tusk]

Platoons?

[autumn needle]

Question, when can we get a Berlin-style map, with craters from bombs scattered around the map and nothing but buildings all around, and narrow pathways for lights or mediums to travel through, and some spots for TDS to have a line of sight along a large main road running through the middle

[stone tendon]

Not sure such a thing would be made since himmelsdorf already exists and is pretty similar to what you described

[quaint bay]

Mabby a forest map with more bushes, trees and hills ?

[languid pollen]

That would be quite demanding on some of the devices

[stone tendon]

Maybe just bigger trees : D

[blazing tundra]

I read this as dumbledorf

[dense wave]

It would make all teams camp and it would be too hard to spot teams behind a lot of treed/bushes

[stone tendon]

Not true because no one in this game knows how to use foliage properly

[dense wave]

Still its gonna be unfair.it just be everyone camping behind trees /bushes waiting for the enemy to do something

[dense wave]

Its not because no one would know how to use an op tank that wg would implement op tanks.

[stone tendon]

It’s completely dependent on how the map is designed; a large amount of foliage on dynasty’s pearl would still have the map as a brawly one

[dense wave]

The only good use of trees and bushes is to prevent you from getting spotted and sniping so no use in close combat.If there were bushes and trees while you are fighting close to a tank its just annoying.now if there is a lot of bushes at the back.it will just be a mines map where winning depends on tds.

[quaint bay]

People dont uses that much tds so it coud be a funny for heavy's and meds

[hardy dagger]

Please delete the ghost factory from the game and never return it

You never made anything worse than ghost factory

[wide shale]

Ghost factory is a nice map despite everyone to med side
like every other map

[hardy dagger]

The med side is the worst thing about this map and makes it literally unplayable

[wide shale]

Describe which part you think makes it bad

[hardy dagger]

There's too many

There are absolutely no covers, no way you can peak or trade, no place for hulldown
