Same what has happened with all map reworks.

Yep

Please revert Red Desert changes. Who even asked for this?

Is that the reason WT maps nowadays have worse optimization? XD

Mostly nice, but:

If this is anything like northern spawn on Middle East, i dont want it. This is not a solution, as the moment you climb up the berm youll get sniped from the very same spots as before. I think a better solution is to create other kind of obstacles to break the line of sight, which causes the spawncamper to have to move out of cover to spawncamp. Thus making them more vulnerable.

Since detailed ground in air maps is now possible I need me the Mach Loop + surrounding area.

Spoiler

Would look great for clips and screenshots.

Seek cover behind a blade of grass type ‘improvement’

Red desert is such a good map don’t ruin it

Improvements to Red Desert

another one bites the dust.

i wish we still had the old sands of sinai with the elevated rock valley lane and the flank route behind it.

Will Bagram Air Base and Kabul International Airport return to the Afghanistan map? When the map was first introduced, it featured faithfully recreated real airports, which were later replaced with generic, modern ones found at the top-tier. The textures for the old, actual airports are still in the game files, so if you’re working on improving the map, I don’t see any reason why these two real locations couldn’t be restored back to their real designs.

I don’t improve with flattening a map then calling it an improvement are you renaming it to flat desert? So judging by this Darwin hill has no hill and is just a flat plain with a slightly raised bump in the middle surrounded by sheer cliffs to block any attempt to gain the marginal 5 foot elevation advantage?

Unless I am mistaken, that bit of the Falklands is very flat.

“Improvements to red desert”
You mean making it absolutely horrible to play now?

Sure bud, at the frustration cycle y’all gave special attention…

Singlehandedly destroyed one of the good top tier maps in a senseless document-grinder…

Are you sure that War Thunder Players can handle this much elevation in the maps?

Maybe flatten the hill a bit, like you did with Red Desert.

Also there seems to be too much cover. You should really remove it.

you mean you guys fked up red Desert right? that was genuinly one of the only maps I enjoyed getting, and it was so rare that I even got the damn map, even if I couldnt find anyone, because It meant I wasn’t forced into CQC with shitty ping, and now you guys butchered my boy >:( dissapointing

Don’t worry, they’ve heard your feedback.

They’re aware of complaints about the present elevation, and will take actions to bring it to parity with the map they believe has the best elevation schema: Fire Arc.

Really going to need to open up servers in different regions if they’re going to force everything into cqc.

RIP the only map where you could do real life engagement range for modern tanks.
Plus, only the others camping positions could shoot themselves creating some kind of parallel battlfield, it was very good like that.
Sad change in my opinion, I liked it.

Elevated position that gave the possibility to engage furhter than 2000m, without spawnkilling, neither shoot the whole map…

Flatter means more heli cancer F&F, same for low alt CAS.
Worst for tank on tank, and now neither tanks or SPAA can hide from CAS that can pop up from all around the map with the mountains.
