Regarding map preferences and favorite maps

First of all, I need to obtain medals for each country in the game, but some medals belong to specific maps and need to be played on specific maps to achieve victory. When I am playing the game (I have a premium account) and I have disabled certain maps, I still cannot match my favorite maps selected through map preferences to play

As far as i understand it the map selection is a collective “vote” by all the players that get matched up for a match. So the matchmaker looks at the likes/dislikes/bans of all players in the match and chooses a map based on all of them collectively. I’m not entirely sure though but this is how it should work from what i’ve seen and heard.

hmmm… My medal task is very difficult He needs to achieve 500 victories, but I have already reached 464. I am confused and hope that future gameplay updates will optimize this system

I found this part of the latest War Thunder Q&A video that talks about map selection and map bans (timestamped to 14:17):

Thank you for your reply! I am watching and hope you have a pleasant day
