Do our community really favors small maps?

What are you even talking about?

Depends on what vehicle you are using. Some vehicles are horrible in towns and some terrible on big open maps.That is basic knowledge surely? The best idea is modern maps for modern vehicles.Not one size fits all.

Oh hell yeah here we go again

Let me definitely influence snail “statistics” with one ban for -let’s pick ground rb- where if lets assume i dont like to play the tiny ardennes map with one cap which is godawful in top tier (ardennes conquest nr.2) because all one team needs to do is push very aggressively and then 3 ppl can hold the whole enemy team and spawncamp them hull down after 30 sec of driving. WHICH DOESNT EVEN APPEAR ON THE BAN LIST FOR MAPS. And even if it would, the lower in br you’d get it the better it would be to play on. But it seemingly only appears in top tier. Where it’s the worst to play on.
and the horribly onesided ardennes domination with 3 caps perpendicular to the spawns but one side spawns completely in the open without cover especially in the winter version
BUT the other versions are ok or even really good to play especially in lower tiers THEN I HAVE TO BAN ARDENNES IN GENERAL. And this will be the only ban that i get.

I can dislike these tiny maps at top tier or ban them but maybe they are fun to play at 6.0? I can dislike tiny maps at top tier but A: I cant ban all of them and even if: B They can be good at lower tiers so i dont want to generally ban all even if i could

What does that even mean at the top ranks? You can be at the top ranks and play 3.0 ground SIM all day long. What i can’t do is ban certain maps or specific map layouts for all my lineups lets say 9.0 and above so what is that supposed to mean??

Someone pls explain to me in words i understand how in the effing eff this could ever produce reliable “statistics”?

Especially since theres tons of new players, players that play very occasionally, players that prefer more the esports playstyle of WT and others that just prefer the more (let’s call it tactical or slow’) approach to the game? Obviously id probably ban something else if I’m playing up to 3.0 max than someone who played this for 10s of thousand of matches through all nations and all BRs?

So, all this to cope and not post any real data to prove me wrong. Lmao. Discredit, defend, cope.

Yeah let me just pull data out of my ass that (maybe) only the snail has of a 100k player online game. I could do that but you, I and everyone else here knows that data ain’t available to anyone. Unless…

I only believe the statistics that I doctored myself- Winston S. Churchill.

Well you have none, that’s my point. Until gaijin makes a new blog about their backend that’s all we have to go on. It’s more likely that the trend of players enjoying smaller maps extends to the newer players as well rather than your boomer takes that players prefer larger maps. Which they don’t.

Cant find where i claimed i have any. But i could scroll back up to see the results of the poll here.
And then theres you that somehow claims he’s speaking on behalf of the whole playerbase for whatever weird reason.

If it’s apparently such a big deal with the reappearing threads on the forum and reddit why is there never an official (in game or whatever) poll from the snail about it? Can’t see how that wouldn’t benefit everyone if it would be possible to create options so everyone could play what he/she likes more? But now i think i can recall reading your posts in the past to know that you dont seem to be interested in that because 4 year old “statistics” apparently show different and you like small maps, which i have no problem with

I’ve mostly noticed that that gaijins map design isn’t good enough the support large maps leading to most if not all of them suffering for some significant problems. That and the way the maps and game modes are designed leads to smaller maps being more rewarding. So players preferences to smaller maps is probably because it’s encouraged by game mechanics to like them.

Understandable have a nice day.

Yeah,I short ,nobody on this forum really knows who likes what,we can only guess or presume and often the accepted understanding is wrong.
What I like and will tolerate now after 4 years of playing and 14000 games is very different to what I liked and when I started.
I am lucky,I have a few crew spaces on every nation and I can field a line up that can handle small town maps or large open field but I suppose not everybody can do that.

After playing for almost 12 years now, Ive seen maps become smaller and smaller, restriction in place, Skill being removed and basically become a gun slinger alley.!
Despite many attempts in the past, its only become worse.
Will ther complainers be happy when there’s literally 1 open road, Shoot straight forward and Good luck??

Strategy is out of the window,
Skill is rediculously not required now, point click.
Map knowledge - whats the point, every possible advantage is being removed.

So it begs the question, what’s next.??

12 Years of playing and bitterly dissapointed in the changes but Hey - What can ya do??

And when No Skill Needed became a thread, they say csgo cod style arcade skill is skill… So uncivilized

By skill do you mean OP and unbalanced camping spots?

What maps got smaller in negative ways too?

False.

That’s just high tier.

It’s still the most important thing in ground RB.

Hopefully good maps, because almost every single map in war thunder sucks.

I can’t wait until people are actually able to give proper feedback beyond “map smal=bad” or “my op camping spot was removed gaijin waaaa.” Genuinely, take any map in WT, and figure out ways that it can be made better.

how can a big map or small map be “more popular” if they are forced by gaijin? players cant decide lol
players are forced to play on small 3 corridor maps, it doesnt mean they prefer it

Small map doesnt equal bad BUT it does remove the element of strategy/map knowledge and yes - increases the Camping potential.

The fact maps are getting smaller, starategic points being removed, maprs being flattened out… heck some maps you dont even leave the spawn to be able to shoot into the enemies now!

You said it yourself!! Most maps suck, thats because theyve been restricted, manipulated into drive survive! IF you are a vet in the game you would know what the maps were like origionally - lots more places to hide and seek, lots more advantage points for BOTH sides of the maps.

You seem to be fixated on that point.!! Strategic doesnt mean camping/spawn camping. Sitting patiently in an advatage area is a completely different aspect.! You really think in War - enemies just storm in to cap a point.!! lol.

Many and I mean MANY sugguestions have been made over the years with little or to no changes made to expand… only to shrink maps.! Even with random spawn point locations, but no! nothing, nada, zip, zero!
