Is it just me, or the new naval map, Bering Sea, isn't used by the matchmaker?

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.

Bering Sea

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?

On the note of spawn-to-spawn map designs: shameless plug for suggestion to Introduce a new guiding principle for Naval map design: No spawn-to-spawn direct line of sight which got no positive comments ☠

Nope - haven’t seen it yet

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.

Only once. While I’m playing most of time on coastal to grind USA/GER/USSR/JPN coastal.

Ive played it many times at the right BR. One version lets you bring a DD, but cant spawn. The other allows both.

Getting it at 4.0 is near impossible. Ive had a few 3.7 games with an all coastal lineup, but its mostly a <3.0 map.

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.

I only got it once with a 2.7 template, the rest of the time I only get the same 4 maps, except when I play battleships I only get the circle of death.

I don’t know what happens with the map rotation but there are some maps that I haven’t played for at least 2 months.

I played a lot of 2.3 and 2.7, now doing 3.0 and still didn’t get to play it :(

When I first started playing naval last november/december, this is one of the only maps I would get. The highest BR I ever got it on was 5.3, when I first got my Atlanta

😥 Now you just make me sad, lol.

Got it for the first time last week while playing 3.0. Im constantly on coastal BRs so this map is reaally rare.

I haven’t played naval in probably seven months, though
