Spanish fortress, is this the map with the PAC-man Easter egg?
What?
EDIT:
Googled it…does not look as “pacman” to me, morelike some cheese…but some dev may be an OLD gamer…who knows?

Is that the map he was talking about?
Yes…that is Iberian Castle.
However…i dont see it as a replacement for White Fortress…it is much more open and flat…
White Fortress was much more constricted and the fortress was “dominant”…Iberian Castle is a “minor” part…IMHO.
Yeah, me tol
It came in almost the same time White Rock was removed. It also has a lot less of tanks driving on castle walls. So yeah, I suspect “realism” finally did White Rock in and we got another “realistic” fortress map in its place. We’ll see if I’m wrong but I don’t expect it back.
I am more inclined to believe it is related with the “muddy” terrain…it was one of the few maps with it…
If realism was the reason i am pretty sure many others would have “issues”…if anything, maps are becoming MORE fictional…not less.
Remake ?
That will consist of every good position you have found either being blocked off , no access and orange forbidden , turned into a tunnel map castle walls with only two ways in and out the rest blocked ,access to the high walls refused .Just like jungle, Carpathians, Kuban, and all the other maps that were good with be rubbish or wintered out ,with rocks turned into bushes and boulders turned into hillocks as on both opposite sides on Poland(winter) , two way traffic as on jungle far side of c cap, etc and so on soon it will consist of one road to A and b first to cap it wins as in battle mode .
There is hardly any map that you can flank ,defend ,snipe etc even eastern Europe the hill above the C cap has been lowered .
makes you wonder why bother having maps if they are all one sided in places.
I did suggest at one time that the castle on Poland be opened up and allow battles in there using perhaps a sunken road from east to west or even amphibious fighting around it that would allow more variety and flanking games on that part of the map instead of just a piece of the static scenery .

Still waiting for White Rock Fortress to return.

I didn’t even know White Rock Fortress was removed. It’s been on my ban list for so long I just thought that’s why I wasn’t seeing it. Guess I should go look at my list again since I know there are others that I’d happily add to the ban list.

Pretty sure it was being reworked, which was 2-3 years ago which explains why their logo is a snail.

My White Rock Fortress, where art thou?
My precious darling, I miss you so very much!
Sweet White Rock Fortress, come out of hiding,
I would crawl to you through a sea of sludge!!!
General question, I have seen this with posts of Stona as well. Not to be rude, but what is up with those Breaks and “…”? I am not writing like that nor do I see other forum Users…write like that…just Gaijin staff…
Is this some kind of Policy? I just find it a bit odd and irritating.
You mean ruin 😔.
All that’s happened is the maps have all the enjoyment sucked out of them. No rocks, hills, or hiding spots.

I am not staff…i wrote like that before i became CH…it is a personal thing and not meant to be insulting (or patronizing). And not a rule as there are no such rules (at least for CHs).
Just “emulates” pauses i use in “normal” speech and meant to make the post more similar to a “conversation”.
Never really thought about it… (and i wrote these “…” without even thinking)

This unfortunately, the new map changes have had me quit ground entirely. They’ve made this game so unfun. I’m honestly hoping they ruin air this update so I can quit the game forever.
No sweat, I just were curious ;)
It’ll probably be a flat open area.

The castle is now just replaced with a giant white room that’s open with nothing in it 😂

just funnel paths , the odd rock to hide behind but no good to shoot over , high ground is flattened .Snow maps have turned rocks into bushes and mounds ( See Poland (winter) ,Tracks were tanks have been are not marked on any map ,
Funnel maps were the reason i gave up world of tanks it was so predictable were the enemy were going to come from 3 ways in and out nothing in between
