Having played a few rounds, strictly gameplay wise Berlin at low BRs isn’t horrible, but Tunisia and moscow really don’t belong at BR5, considering how strong vehicles are at BR5 and how open those maps are.

its like those maps were designed around a low battle rating gameplay maybe if they made new maps for higher battle ratings this test wouldnt have happened

It’s just the screenshots, I don’t know why they come out like that, everything is fine ingame


Anyway, trying BR3 Soviets now:

Game 1 Moscow - T-34-85 – QUIT

Game 2 Moscow - T-34-85/Panthers – QUIT

Game 3 Berlin - I see BR2’s BT-7 and PTRS lmaooo

Game 4 Berlin - I see early Pz III and M3 Lee lmao - QUIT


This is litereally the most RE test/change/update to the game since its inception

It feels like not only are all maps open to all BRs, but also maps that weren’t open to some BRs now have a boosted chance to appear on those BRs, hence why Moscow and Tunisia are so much more common at BR4-5 than other maps.

Absolutely.

I just tested 10 games and got the WRONG map 10/10 times:

BT-7 and T-28 in Berlin, Panthers in Tunisia.

This is the worst thing that’s ever happened to this game, Fortnite levels of stupid.

Definitely a bad idea, you guys are really ruining your game.

At present, most players on the forum do not think that making changes to the map is a good idea.

If the forum administrators announce in a few days like’Hey, since most players agree with this plan, it will continue to take effect! ’ Guys, that’s when we should LEAVE together.

100% this is going to happpen:

“Some people on the forum were not so happy about open spaces of Moscow and Tunisia, but don’t worry we will edit those maps, and our Reddit/Twitter/TikTok/Grindr users loved these changes :3”

like wtf NO the problem is not gameplay, it’s T-28 fighting against AB 41 in Berlin

So I said at the beginning that this was not a test, just a notification, and MajorMcDonalds still tried to explain it to me :face_exhaling:

I feel the same way

Devs take note. The problem is in fact not the gameplay, said from someone who has taken major offense from this change. The maps work fine in any BR.

million YES, Tunisia is the best map.

I can confirm that these changes have no effect on developers’ “motivations” to make new maps. Developers understand that we all want new maps as much as possible.

I also think it’s realistic to assume that, as the map pool grows, there are generally more options for what can be done with map pools at different BRs.

Regardless, @all - thank you for your feedback. Developers are paying close attention to the thoughts already posted here and on other social media, as well as through in-game statistics and the results of the testing.

I hope so, Major, what else can I do? It’s hard to watch the game get destroyed. My favorite game…

This change is overwhelmingly negatively viewed by most players - which means this test was a success.

I been wondering, since warthunder “doesn’t really” have set maps for BRs I think, is this maybe an attempt at mimicking Warthunder?

Will we be seeing 1 or multiple new map/campaign added this year? Why not update Battle of Berlin and Battle of Tunisia to accommodate for new battle ratings that they were opened to before doing these kinds of test. Yes I can see thats what the test is for but knowing the tools being used for certain BR the maps could of been prepared for it instead of just sending it out like this.

Based on what? The Forums are not really indicative of overall community sentiment. You tend to get zealots in any forum.

Not really, while 70% of this very forum viewing it as negative i don’t see such strong negative reaction on steam forum (50/50%), youtube (mostly positive) , reddit (mostly positive), discord or just in game.

You should remember that this forum is not even 1% of the Enlisted players, we are just a very vocal minority.

I also don’t see any player drop off on Steam Charts so people are fine with playing on those maps at higher/lower BR, and just want new changes and reworks to those maps not a complete removal and going back.
