How can you tell it is a model of a ground launched RBS-15?
To be fair, they only got the 2A5NL and 2A6NL at top tier for now, the latter also being overtiered (together with all the base 2A6s).
This forum clearly proves it’s mostly a smaller subfaction of French mains though.
New Nucear thunder maps has been added to files.
This won’t fly well with the community at all

i guess it could work for the lower BR NE but not a fan over all
Those maps should be large, not normal size as in normal ARB.

why are we giving 1/4 of the original map size, if even less when counted by just landmass, and consider that an improvement? the map size was half the fun when players didnt furball up in the middle again. this is simply just sad, ARB with a new name and mediocre rewards.
The Gaijin curse of making everything they touch worse than before. They seriously need completely new game designers.

Here we go again
Spoiler
even for a lower BR bracket I think this is too small, transit times are fun, range gives weight to the mission
- be gaijin
- not use around 40% of the NT map
- add a new one in the files, literally being a small normal air rb map
- just barely use 80% of THAT space
profit(?)
Its literally going to be normal Air RB, but EC
I am aware, that is what I would protest

You don’t like aimbot SPAA that shoot down absolutely everything and SPAA with only tracking radars that somehow know where your missiles are coming from? Got it, we’ll put the SPAA on elevated platforms.
You like the map size and just wish some things were adjusted? Got it, we will remove the new map and make it ARB maps only.
Like, seriously, how?

Oh yeah great I can’t wait to get fired on by the omniscient SAM’s whilst still on the airfield.
All the targets clustered up and not bothering to add more naval targets to what is literally half the map.
Genuinely don’t understand why they think this is a good idea people have been asking for them to make use of the rest of the space available on Tropical Coast so instead of adding more targets they just cluster them up with what will be overlapping AA fire with little to no cover from them.
we have been trying to get out of not only the gameplay loop but also the size restriction forever.
Why on earth would we prefer to regress to the sizes we have in normal battles

They LITERALLY had THE potential there with the mountain valley for some proper SPAA evasive stuff… but noooooo

I should mention, I don’t think many people have a problem with this as a stop-gap map for variety while the devs work on more big maps. But one thing we REALLY don’t want is for this size to become a trend over the large settings, does anyone else agree with this sentiment?

Much less than that actually since they have only a handful of naval target on a map that’s 40% water. I’d say about 50% of the space is being used overall.

The only thing keeping this game alive is the sheer inertia it has from over a decade of popularity and if it was released in 2026 as a new game it’d completely flop imo. Stuff like this is the reason why, proper game design is a foreign concept to this studio.
