People, you might have noticed the recent visual update to the European province map (Tusk force update), in both its large and small versions. This visual change has completely altered the map’s gameplay style. What used to be dense forests and trees that could block enemy vision have now been replaced with slim bushes. This change has turned the map into more of a sniper-focused map and removed the flanking routes along the tree lines. In my opinion, this reduces the diversity of gameplay and, proportionally, decreases the overall fun of the game.

I also feel the map is way laggier now, but no, unfortunately they’re not going to revert the changes. Visually it looks cool, if you can run the game at anything higher than ULQ (not my case).
War Thunder admins need to stop changing maps if they love to change maps so much they should just remake the game with newest physics and graphics

In my opinion it kept the sniping map as a sniping map, the issue with the tree lines was fixed since nowhere bushes is that high, my only issue is that the trees (which looks like being a Pinus sylvestris) foilage are incorrect to the real counterpart of eastern european fauna:
Pinus sylvestris
Trees like Quercus robur, Abies alba, Populus alba could bring a bit of realism and some of them benefits for people that prefer closer range engagements like Quercus robur that are larger and has more denser and lower foilage, there’s a long list of trees and vegetation that could be considered instead, and that yellowish pallete feels so out of place:

I like it. Havent noticed any performance issues, and I find the area around A to be much better to fight in. Before it felt like i was dropped into La Drang, wondering if the trees around me will suddenly start speaking vietnamese.

The increased visibility was intentional
Interestingly, when I’m inside those woods or looking towards them my FPS drops from 165 to 70 suddenly, making the game feel choppy.
