I recently played a lot of low-BR boat matches, and despite that, since the Update “Seek & Destroy” released back in June this year, I haven’t seen the new Bering Sea map even once.
And yes, I know that it’s another spawn-to-spawn shooting map (at least as far as destroyers go) but still 👀 Did you folks got lucky enough to play it?
I’ve gotten the (boats) version a few times in the last week. The islands do a good job of covering the spawn areas, and separating the fights on the capture points from one another - there isn’t really any useful cover at the capture points.
Ive played it many times at the right BR. One version lets you bring a DD, but cant spawn. The other allows both.

I assume it was made to go along with the release of French coastal next update. Hopefully, GJN is working on a new map for 4.0+. They’ve recently changed the BR ranges on the reworked maps and thus, they don’t populate for players over 5.0.
