Ground Zero Map playable?

Has anyone ever gotten this map here?

If you take it in custom battles it looks like an Fallout version of alaska, rather dark, with smoke and fog everywhere, buildings even more broken than in the ww2 maps, and a huge crater where B point once was. Was this a halloween map? Was it taken out of rotation?

If anyone has gotten the map recently, please tell me what gamemode (AB or RB) and if RB, did you have night battles on?
Because maybe its a night battles only map, because of all the fog and nuclear fallout clouds.

Gaijin changed it so you have to opt-in to night battles, Ground Zero falls under that classification I think. If most people don’t opt in you’ll get night maps less often so it’s probably harder to come across it.

I got it a few times back then, cool variant of the original. But unfortunately it is exclusive to night battles now.

Ground zero is a an Alaska map variant. Good because this variant allow us a lot of flanking opportunity thanks to ruinded buildings and eviroment. But if you not have NVD it garbage because you can’t see sh*t and during whole battle. Thanks to game, not allow to set brighness and only night variant available… I use to suffered here a lot with late WW2 tanks, early cold war thanks and with late cold war tanks( which not able to use/equip or not researched NVD) before able to set: want participate in night battle or not:

Nowadays thanks to God i not meet with it. Thanks to this settings opportunity.

In other hand i feel unfair to allow 6.7 BR tanks to this map because 90% of 6.7-7.3 except Panther II they not have an opportunity to equip NVD…

I’ve gotten it once or twice, but in Sim. Felt pretty cinematic to be restrained to the commander cupola view while in such a location.
