Highway of Death - Kuwait
That would make a great map.
This is a sketch of an AI-generated map (Gaijin is using it a lot too :)) giving an idea of a map based on the Highway of Death in Kuwait during the Gulf War.
I’m still working on it.
A quick summary of the map’s capture points:
Point A would be the exact location of the “Highway of Death”.
A place with several destroyed vehicles and tanks, a place with various possibilities for cover and concealment, for slow and gradual advance. with a lane of the highway open for those who have no regard for life. Point B would be the intersection of local highways.
A central location in the middle of the map, with the possibility of access to the highway interchange, a high place with a view of the battlefield, but also a vulnerable location. You see everyone and everyone sees you.
Point C is a peculiar point; it looks like an open field, and it is, but it contains some constructions and many artificial mounds of land, perhaps for construction or trenches.
And its right side can only be safely bypassed through shallow swamp channels using amphibious vehicles, since the only road that crosses the swamp is open and risky.
Also, as seen in real photos, along the edges of some highways, there was a difference in height, capable of offering protection for movement.
Also, as seen in real photos - There are some slightly higher elevations, allowing for positions for long-distance shots against targets that feel safe and invisible.
In short, it’s just a sketch.

If you want to create a suggestion you can do so in the suggestion section here on the forum. That section is however pre-moderated and only posts that follow their rules and guidelines will get posted and it can take a couple of weeks for a post to get reviewed for publication. If it gets accepted and made public it then has a chance to get sent to the developers as a suggestion later on.
Yea; its not good if used to actually generate and make the Map with AI or Stuff like the AI Gooner Slop (or overall people making Music with AI and that sort is bad) but just for visualization Stuff its good (or solving Math)
Its because its not implemented properly and there needing to be changes to how an Match works overall not because Maps are based on historical locations.
Why not show us how you would do an Map? Theres an Map Editor provided by Gaijin for WT.
Some considered that (The “highway o’ death”) to be controversial, even an atrocity. It would be tone deaf for Gaijin to celebrate it directly.
I don’t see how it brings anything different than any of the other desert maps already in the game.
How would that be celebrating it? So any Map in the Game means Gaijin supports and celebrates what happened there according to you or what? Quite a lot of Maps which had far worse Stuff happening on them IRL…
Not “according to me”. Do a little research.
No map is directly geolocated to a specific event. At most, it was over entire battles and the maps are “genericized”.
It can’t be implemented properly if you want to preserve historical accuracy.
It’s very hard to find a real life battlefield that was perfectly balanced and had options for all types of vehicles.
They can do the exact same thing with this Map. It wouldn’t be called the Highway of Death same as an hypothetical Nanjing Map wouldn’t be named for what it is known but they can add the location as it was during that time as Map.
