I’ve been playing 8.7 soviet tank to grind since the last tank event started and the maps I mentioned below never came across. That is, I’ve been fully active for about 10 days and these maps haven’t come across. Before that, when I looked back 2 months ago, I noticed that most of these maps, except for a few, haven’t been played for a long time. Does anyone know the reason for this
Berlin, Frozen Pass, Kursk, Kuban, Karelia, Novorossiyk, Red Desert, Jungle and White Rock Fortress
*I think I haven’t played the White Rock Fortress map in almost a year.
Many of those have been straight up removed. Some are specific BR dependant. I’ve seen berlin in 4.0 and I’ve seen Red Desert in 11.7. Jungle, Kursk(fire arc) and Whire Rock can die.
I have had all of these this week except for white rock fortress, which was removed some years ago. But I also play at a lot of BR’s (3.0-10.7), so that might have something to do with it.
Gaijin often only loads a series of maps for a BR range / at a rank. So often you only see 8 maps at most between two updates if you only play at single BR or rank.
They introduced that system to lessen load on the servers 2 years ago, at least that’s when I noticed it at first.
It is the most noticeable in ARB and AAB, because there are more BR’s in planes at higher ranks, so you’ll see less different maps. Often only 4 different ones in a month if you don’t okay other ranks.
