I know the bridges are done, but the map being encircled with these borders aren’t obvious…
I came here for this comment.
Here, take my soul!
The maps in WT which are among the biggest in the genre…
Yes, there are small maps which are larger than ALL of WoT’s maps, and there are maps up to 11.1x larger.
War Thunder has a dozen large maps in rotation right now.
43 maps are available to 8.0+ tanks [2 of those are restricted to 9.7+].
If War Thunder maps make you feel claustrophobic, well congrats on feeling a fraction of what real tankers felt, and that’s a statement that does not make sense when the planned effective engagement distances of older technology tanks is 0 - 2000 meters, and the mode modern equipment [not tanks, the stuff that lets the tanks fire longer] is 0 - 4500 meters.
This is a reminder that 100% of War Thunder’s small maps were added to the game prior to 2022, possibly even older than that.
People need to stop and look.
Take an hour and look at all the maps.
Ignore the ones that you can’t see if you’re playing 8.0+.
And then question to yourself: “Why haven’t I seen Red Desert, Sands of Sinai, Euro Province, Second Battle of El Alamein, Fulda Gap, Fire Arc, Maginot Line, Fields of Normandy, Pradesh, Sands of Tunisia, Vietnam, Fields of Poland, or Surroundings of Volokolamsk consistently?”
13 large maps, at least 10 of them are great maps too.
“I want large maps!”
Yes, we do… and 13 of the 43 total maps available to 8.0+ are already here as large maps. And new maps are going to be at least as quality as Red Desert so why are we really begging for more? What is the reason?
Oh and of those 43 total maps, ~10 are small maps; the rest are medium sized maps.
Devs accurate map desigh meta in a few months…

That’s a dishonest representation of what’s happening and doesn’t help our situation.

IF you think Red Desert is a bad map…What an L take bud
This is why we need map playlists so that people who want to play Call of Thunder like you can go play tanks on a napkin with blocks.
People forget that map preference is skewed by the “Buys premum tank drives to cap, gets a kill, dies and leaves”, masses. People like that with their TikTok brains can’t comprehend maps like Red Desert where you won’t get spawn pushed in minutes, where you can come back, where you have multiple routes to cap…etc Literally one of the most perfect maps for 8.0+

Why are you posting that Red Desert is bad?
At least you admit it’s an L take.
Then you go and claim that Red Desert is a COD map…
You also imply that you’re for small maps in your entire post, and insult those that like all maps…
Then you defend Red Desert and agree with me entirely…
Your post is all over the place.
You should delete your post and try again, cause all you’re doing is failing.
Sad, thats 100% accurate
Well, go learn English then.
I’ll keep defending Red Desert.
When you’re ready to agree with me that Red Desert is a perfect map without insulting everyone that loves Red Desert, I’ll be here.
I see @MariosanBR also disagrees with my posts that Red Desert is a perfect map.
Sad that I’m the only one here so far that thinks it is.
I LOVE red desert.I hate the red killzone corridors that the devs are doing…

Poor IRL countries with their tanks designed to ambush, engage on longer-ranges, or equipped with massive amounts of armor to slowly roll up and destroy fortifications under enemy fire.
They weren’t graced by modern internet knowledge.

I love tanks like T26E5 which are perfect for close combat, but making maps smaller is the worst decision they can do.
Instead of changing really good maps like Eastern Europe, make just smaller maps.

No MBT is “designed to engage only at longer ranges”.
Some TDs are, but that’s partially why TDs aren’t used anymore.
Ambushing is easily done in War Thunder.
I flanked and ambushed quite easily going straight up the Poland road, as well as on Iberian Castle A-B city where going down roads is quite easy to flank people. Both medium sized maps of course. Berlin flanking is impossible.
Still waiting for your prediction of smaller maps to come true.
It’s been years since a new small map was added.
You know that ‘making maps smaller’ is what can be seen by Gaijin cutting off portions of the map? It has nothing to do with making new maps that are small.
By destroying the bridges You are ‘cutting off’ the portion of the map.

“Some” lets forget about the entire ww2 part. The game is just MBT’s and turret flicking on napkin sized urban maps. Da comrade.

You call stuff like Iberian Castle a “big map”?
Gaijin literally hasn’t added a long-range map to the game since Pradesh in 2022, which is seen only at high BRs and incredibly rarely. I can count on my fingers (all 10 of them!) the amount of times I’ve seen it in almost 2000 hours of playing. Before that we had Red Desert in 2021 which I’ve literally only twice in my War Thunder career because it literally NEVER drops, even at high tier.
90% of the maps in this game are short-range and literally all new maps are designed for CQC.

Yes, this map will be the first ever to move from medium size to small size IF it goes to live.
Red zones are due to people complaining in the feedback form about mountain goats like myself; I mountain goated EVERY match on the maps that had it. If ANYONE in this game has a reason to critique War Thunder for those changes it is I.
@PacketlossRedux
When people complain about small maps, it’s 100% about MBTs.
No one cares if you’re on Advance to the Rhine with a Sherman. You’re going to take twice as long to cross the map as a T-55A.
@StevenMac
It’s obvious you responded to the wrong person.
Iberian Castle isn’t a large map, it’s a medium sized map.
Red Desert, Sands of Sinai, Euro Province, Second Battle of El Alamein, Fulda Gap, Fire Arc, Maginot Line, Fields of Normandy, Pradesh, Sands of Tunisia, Vietnam, and Surroundings of Volokolamsk are the large maps currently of the total 43 maps available for 8.0+ tanks, 10 of which are small maps.
CQC BTW is <100 meters for tanks. You can also stretch that out to 200 meters as a definition if you want, but that still won’t change the 10 small maps, nor would 300 meters for that matter.
Making good large maps takes more time.
Also there are not 500+ maps in this game as you falsely claim.

It won’t be the first map after ‘rework’ that got smaller.
So please read before replying next time as Gaijin making maps smaller is nothing new.

I replied to the correct person, given your following quote
“Still waiting for your prediction of smaller maps to come true.

Don’t know where I said that there are 500+ maps in the game, though I certainly wish that were the case.
