I think the majority of the new maps look absolutely awful. The only pretty maps in the game at the moment is Fulda and Karelia, the other maps mostly look like a kindergarden project and are awful to play on too
OMG, is the only i can say after see the “impovements” in maps like Maginot or Jungle… really stop destroying the old maps, after changes are maps are WORST.
People behind maps creation are extremly bad.

Gaijin has good creators, but the problem comes, to my point of view, from the poor military and historical knowledge of the staff.
As result, nonsense maps like Alaska, Sun city, Cargo port, US Desert, Spaceport, this kind of thing is non-immersive and provides also the same tank “dogfight” which is the common feature of 90% of the maps.
You can have efficient personnel, but they need appropriate management, in accordance to an historical war simulator.
This lack of historical, and military knowledge, is the key here, you can’t manage a war simulator like an average “Super Mario” product.

This is so chronically wrong.
All the recent maps are the largest in the game.
Pradesh, Red Desert, etc.
All the small maps are the oldest maps in the game.
If you’re on a small map, it’s not new.
Most of the playerbase prefers small maps BTW.
@Lord_Prism
You’re talking about old maps.
@Inual
They don’t need help. All their new maps are the largest in the game, and all great.
My banned map is Italy/Campania for a reason, a legacy map.
@Malko07
Nah, they understand military knowledge quite well.
You also mentioned almost exclusively legacy maps.
Weird how no one mentions the maps put into the game over the last 1 - 2 years.
Where “Arco di Fuoco”?
I don’t remember what it is, but it will surely have absurd modes like many others

It’s just a damn hard and easy to use map for campers.
As long as gaijin is incompetent to create good maps or change theirs to make them decent I just continue to leave instantly when shitty maps come up and switch to a different nation or just afk or whatever.

Good maps already exist.
They should allow the players to create maps and hold contest’s just like for skins to be added to the game only less rigged, I would love to make some city maps personally. Some other games have it where you can create your own map it would be a valuable addition to the war thunder live.

Just having maps where you won’t easily get spawn camped, are clearly one sided or have one point that controls the map would be a good start.

No, most of the recent maps are small stupid rat mazes (American Desert, cargo, Abandoned town, Golden quarry, Sversk-13, etc etc)
Wrong again.
Poland, Fulda, Fields of Poland, Sans of Sinai, European Province…
False, all votations show how the small city maps are the most hated by far.

American Desert & Cargo Port are old maps.
If small maps were the most hated then they wouldn’t be as popular.

IIRC both was introduced in 2019, so they arent old.
And apart of you how say small maps are popular???
In rank 4, 5 and 6 small maps are like a plague for the community.

I think the average casual player prefers fast action cqc, but the types of players that are on the forums don’t like cqc maps.
Personally I’m not a fan of larger maps because they are boring, and gaijin can’t design maps well, but I also don’t like a lot of the cqc city maps, like Seversk 13, Sun city, and Sweden.
Maps like Pradesh, and Red desert have been added recently. Most of the maps that have been added recently aren’t tiny, however they have very short engagement distances.
Larger maps are fine but they just end up being wide open plains where no one moves and everyone just sits behind a hill waiting for someone to be dumb enough to try and cross the killing fields and they’re slow and drawn out games.

I have to agree, at least partially, to that.
Large open maps would bot be that much problem if the guns would be realistically accurate.
But lack of atmosphere (wind, homidity, temperature and other atmospheric effects) and vastly overperforming gun stabilizers makes long shots in WT to easy.

Thats the problem even if the map is big Gaijin dont stop adding urban areas and basically all maps are the same.
