Testing expanded BR for maps

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.

they’re 2 events going on so only the devs would know the number of players playing the maps

Well I still need to finish my Victory Day/African Campaign assignment, even if I need to quit 10 matches in a row first.

I still cound as an “active player”.

Doesn’t meant I have any interest in this Fortnitelisted: Vanguard V.


Also, “most players” are probably ‘casual’ and have no idea when the battle of Stalingrad happened or what’s the difference between Pz IV F1 and Pz IV F2 – doesn’t mean we need to strive to be ignorant like them though.

That’s not true, it actually does.

But it doesn’t have faction based maps (for obvious reasons, since teams are made up of several random factions)

But at least the BR III Tunisia match went all good yesterday? :smiley:

I think you were in the Br2-3 one where our team mega steamrolled? Yeah that was fast

yup, couldnt keep up with the team honestly :sweat_smile:

There are not 1, but 2 events going on, and “being active” on this context doesn’t give devs any relevant info. Other data like desertion rates, match results, etc. do give relevant information that can be analized.

Who cares? It’s a game… not history class.

People who came to this game for WW2 vibe, not Fortlisted: Vanguard V, we already have those types of games in abundance

I’m in favour of this change… and realistically having guys with SVT38s and Gewehr 41s running around in Berlin seems a bit more historically accurate than everyone having some experimental nonsense or an FG42… and literally every tank being either an IS2 or a KT.

High BRs are basically a few very powerful weapons that were used in the war in small numbers and a lot of experimental stuff that never was. If you want to capture an actual WWII feel, T2-3 feels best. Yes, I miss out on a few cool things but imho, most of the iconic infantry weapons are found there.

So allowing me to have a T3 battle of Berlin is fun. And not everyone is packing an experimental doom rifle. This actually feels more realistic.

Letting the people who want experimental doom rifles play in Moscow or NA… why not. Let them have their map rotation.

BR3 was always present in Berlin campaign.

Just saying.

But prior to the recent changes if you drew Berlin you were probably cannon fodder in a TIII-V draw.
