W a new map

Community:

Can we get a larger map for NE, the current one is way too small and Dense, given the map is only about 1/4 used, this should be easily done

Gaijin:

We have introduced an even smaller map for NE

Why have you added a map small enough to let props play NE, for the same BRs as tropical coast?

To be fair you can play better than the bigger map because you have space vertically.
I saw a lot of dogfighting happening. Weirdly , because i didn’t play the event, it was a pleasant surprise.
The question is … can you make this map bigger horizontally and the other map (big one) bigger vertically?
However, that is for lower tiers. I don’t think in higher BRs with ARHs etc. this can be good map. At least till 12-12,3 though… It’s better than the other one.

So it did not prove too intense for top rank vehicles?

Can we not get an extra toggle to matchmake either the small or big NE maps. That way you get to actually decide on which version on NE you want to play, small and chaotic or big and more planned out.

Is there a reason why SAM/SPAA changes for Nuclear Escalation were not mentioned in patch notes?

I already stopped playing nuclear escalation a couple weeks ago. They somehow took a mode that was miles ahead of ARB, and made it 10x worse than ARB

Fighting AA for an hour just to get 30k RP (with a premium vehicle and premium time) is not worth it. I’d rather spend 20 minutes playing ARB for the same result.

Anyone notice that you can’t close cockpits anymore?
you can open em just fine but closing them is impossible

Nah, it just takes a year for the pilot to close them.
Just press once and wait as your pilot struggles to close the cockpit going 450 km/h
