I don’t mind the changes made to the 3 and 4 points (as per the last post). But I don’t see why they found the need to do the other changes and personally feel like those locations should stay as is
Still a huge dead zone in the middle of the map. WHY? There are so few “TD” areas they will be easy artty shots. Truly hate this map so much with it were gone. BTW is that a flying tank in the video?
Really like the proposed changes, Especially the increased opportunities for T.Ds…. Just Perfect for an Old Camper Like me…..But just what IS it, with that Flying Tank at 1:41 ?? :) Ya got me ….
Based on what critics or criteria do they change maps? Inputs from the huge mass of Russian tomatos to satisfy their needs and who are unable to use the map as it is?
Personally, these changes take away from the map a lot. Opening up the center removes the “brawling” aspect of it. The middle didn’t seem to dominate the mad or anything. With these changes, the middle is useless and turns the map into yet another corridor shootout. I feel the designated TD spots are sort of redundant, as the current buildings near spawn provided similar cover, but forced TDs to relocate to be productive after a while. As for the other smaller changes: Moving the rock/island back at c3 makes the corner fight a bit longer, and by pushing the top back, gives the bottom road (at the waterfall) more opportunity; as for the temple, removing some buildings is overall better for mediums, as countless times I have charged in and been surprised by a Grille 15 (or similar) lurking behind the back most building. At the same time this doesn’t help lights in any way.
but with opening up the middle the rather “force” the players to either use the corridor at the NW (heavy-corner) or the SE (med-corner). the middle will surely be a death zone, so it will be of no use most of the times. and even with a very good scout (with camo, oprics and all) you do not outspot a waiting TD – before it opens fire and instant-kills you …
Honestly, they can use steppes as an example of doing open area’s right yet fail to do so. Some obstacles( hardcover + softcover ) in the middle and a section that is lower than the rest so it’s not a giant deathzone but provides actual hardcover and hull down opportunity for medium and light tanks to spot without it being suicide is all that is needed to make an open section not a giant death trap ( though steppes is still too open, obviously, it’s still one of the better maps in world of tanks )
They made more corridors this was the one map that wasn’t corridors.
This has probably made the map more corridor like because flattening out the map makes tanks more vulnerable to artillery. There are less bushes and terrain cover to hide behind so it does eliminate the central aspect of the map. Really, the only places that are safe now are hugging the side of a mountain in the north/center or the palace in the south. Scouts will be able to spot tanks more easily but in return will not be able to stay hidden so essentially increasing suicide scouting casualties. Perhaps these map tests go hand in hand with artillery rebalances but in the current form of the game, there will be a lot less of the map that will be playable.
So, a lot of people don’t understand how to play the current map and so they make it idiot proofed? My favorite version was the one before the current…
I honestly dont see why they felt the need to change this map and they fuckin made it worse for good players who liked using the middle area while making things easier for the cancerous idiots who only know how to push W.

honestly kinda surprised the haven’t tried to open up the fort in the middle of the map for mediums to try and fight for
Is it just me or does the center now feel even more worthless?
It’s even worse than I thought…

make more flat maps for arties , dont think even about to nerf arties please
dont mention about arty nerf we need more tech trees ,premium tanks and open maps , keep it up wargaming
Basically center now will be place for max one scout plus bunch of camping tds shoting each other. Appart from that its gonna be dead zone.

See the ‘floating’ tank? First spotted it at 1:34 and again a little later…
Maybe an introductiin of some new cool physics.. who knows.. tanks on trampoline? Seemz legit..
It is floating because it is a tier X Light tank. It is very light….

First you complain about World of coridors and when they try to fix it, you criticise them….

Hello I’m Artillery I approve these changes.

WG, when do you change Tundra?
Just awful everything that I see on supertest currently is pure trash I am super disappointed in the direction that the game may be going.
YEY Another Corridor fest!!! Well done Development team clap clap clap good work at corridor..
I honestly dont see why they felt the need to change this map and they fuckin made it worse for good players who liked using the middle area while making things easier for the cancerous idiots who only know how to push W.
RIP climbing spots for the north, east and middle. Probably west too, hard to tell.
God forbid anyone have fun or fast tanks use their mobility to gain any sort of positioning advantage.
