I personally enjoy small to medium sized maps and absolutely hate large maps like Red Desert, Fields of Poland, Pradesh, Sorroundings if Volokolamsk or Domination #2 on Tunisia. They are just extremely boring and nothing is happening there most of time.
I think map size should depend on what br range you are. 1.0-3.7 maps should be small 4.0-6.7 maps should be medium and 7.0-11.7+ should be big.
Low tier tanks aren’t built for long range engagements and so should not have big maps, mid tier tanks will at most struggle in big maps depending on the tank but similar to low tier most mid tier tanks aren’t built for long range engagements and so mid tier maps can be a little bigger but not too big.
High tier is a very different story most tanks at these br’s are built with long range engagements in mind from lessons learned from ww2. These tanks have superior ability to better utilize big maps than low and mid tiers. This is especially apparent with vehicles that either fire ATGM’s or are equipped with a laser range finder. And even then most these vehicles have APDS APFSDS or HEATFS which have straighter firing arcs than other more conventional ammo types offering better long range engagement capabilities.
My favorite maps are Ash River, Karelia and Whiterock fortress but they removed whiterock and have removed cool spots from karelia making the maps a million times more dull :/
most of the maps are ass now.
who ever is working on the maps, is… not very good (trying to be polite here)
Trust me,there are long range maps that behaves badly just like “short” range maps
Are they flat? I think not. They make them acutally hillier. Stuff has only a couple hundred meter or so battle range befor the next bump in the terrain hides your tank.
Flat in the way that there are more urban areas, yes.
I don’t know how to put multiple replies in one post, sorry :(
IMO most maps I see up to 6.0ish (maybe a little more) are rank II maps tops. Many guns can destroy enemy tanks from one edge to the other. That to me is a strong indication that a map is too small for such weapons. That’s just me tho. For the most part I am alone with that oppinion xD
The game has become extremely fast in comparison to what it has been. Larger maps with room to move just don’t fit the player base it seems.
i’m just gonna say that we shouldn’t discourage people leaving battles early without even spawning in if they get the bad maps, maybe it’ll evoke a reaction from gaijin? idk but it helps take the edge off from the stress of all the bad maps
very sure they’re intentional, the intention may be to cause players to gain less rp and sl because they get spawn camped more often or my favorite; large maps at brs where you don’t have tanks that can do long range force you to spend alot of time getting to the fronts just to increase the repair costs as much as possible (my observation from playing alot of the large maps, which is getting very common now)
we really need to protest this or something
Used to be a thing for me, but today not anymore, I have 6 nations to play so I can leave the match without spawning if I don’t like the map and play other nations. I personally find CAS spam annoying and it completely overshadowed the map problems where I don’t even find there is any issues, since I still getting an equal amount of CQC maps and large maps.
for gaijin, just so they can pump out more terrible maps XD
anyways, its really funny how ironic the dull and bad maps that gaijin made specifically to make them more money by incentiving people to buy premium actually made people feel more negative towards the game, if they keep adding bad maps, people might just stop grinding all together because it will just get absurd and people have a tipping point, also paints a bad image for warthunder which any developer doesn’t like (if people keep talking about the negatives about the game and if gaijin keeps contributing to the source, it will come up as the only thing people know the game for)

Yeah, I want to see all the changes reversed. These new changes and new map cut outs are GARBAGE. I enjoy this game less by the day.

The worst part is they have a few people who spout the narrative every time. If you say anything against the narrative about any changes (including the maps), they just flag you. I’m now to the point two individuals are just flagging and blocking everything I post lately. Worse I know which two.

that’s the thing.
They have become more flat, more and more peaks and ridges are getting smaller or outright removed, removing the chance for long range engagements.
I LOVE a good long range fight between 2 heavies/TD where the armor can shine a bit.
But now every bloody map is a close combat.

Okay, I understand now. That I agree with. I have a German 6.0 deck and use the Dicker Max pretty much all the time. Gun is plenty to kill, has good gunner zoom and lots of depression (like the average adult xD). It works up to 7.0, because it fits well into the new hull down map meta.
I almost never spawn in the Tiger (Porsche) or Panther F. Tho the Tiger Porsche is nice for city stuff, because people still don’t know where to shoot it and you can get out of trouble FAST.
After my first death it is Heinkel 162 time and pretty much the end of the match anyway.
Not for long until some 💩head grab a plane and bombs you, they always interfere a good duel and then ruin it and say “how dare you stop me from helping my teammates bro”
Well… let’s talk about the tank styles and their preferred map sizes. S M L.
Heavy: S L
Medium/MBT: S M L
Light tank: M L
Light wheeled vehicle: S M L
Auto light [think 2S38, VCC-80/60, and HSTVL]: S M
IFV: S L
So you can tell that people prefer short range.
And a missing letter doesn’t necessarily mean that tank is terrible, it just means it’s not ideal.
A light tank in a short range engagement will do better than an auto-light in a long range engagement.
Of course maps are larger than ever before. All the smallest maps in WT are pre-2020.
Here’s your pole . . .
