After the end of WW2, Germany was separated into two major sections, East And West. East Germany was controlled mainly by the Eastern allied powers (USSR), while West Germany was controlled by the Western-allied powers (USA and UK mainly).
In 1961, not long after Germany was separated. East Germany began to erect a wall along its border with West Germany. This wall was known as the Berlin Wall. The creation of the Belin Wall led to heavily increased tensions between NATO and the USSR; when Warsaw Pact engineers, guarded by tanks and infantry, began construction of the wall at “Checkpoint Charlie,” NATO forces were rushed to the scene. However, they were not ordered to interfere in the wall construction. This gathering of military forces led to a prolonged standoff between NATO and the Warsaw Pact.
The erection of the Berlin Wall was a big encouragment of the belief that if a nonnuclear war were to break out between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, Berlin and the rest of Germany would be its most important ground based battlefield. This belief was brought about by the heavy fortifications of the Berlin Wall, as well as the many strategic advantages that the area around Berlin would provide in the case of a full-scale war.
The area around Berlin was comprised of small towns and villages, as well as large open fields, these fields were anticipated to be the site of large-scale tank battles between NATO and the Warsaw Pact.
I propose that Cold War Berlin be added to War Thunder, There are 2 ways that it could be done:
Small version, A version that would take place entirely within the city limits (Berlin Wall and the surrounding areas)
Large version, a large version that would take place in the outskirts of Berlin and the fields/forest directly outside of the city limits. (see map image above)
- Yes (large-scale version)
- Yes (small version)
- Yes (both small and large scale versions)
- No
