Honestly adding yet another map for usa/germany was kinda unneccessary. They already got tunisia, ardennes and normandy while japan only has handful of maps which get boring really fast. I hope japan gets the next new map preferrably for soviets vs japan

Seriously. I love the snowy maps, but Japanās needed a new battlefield (manchuria pls) for ages and we get yet another USA/Germany map, when they already have the most?

Oh, I know these tents. The ones that once ādestroyedā, stay as indestructible wooden poles blocking every vehicle in Pacific battles, including Ho-Ri, ant their cloth can suck up infantry inside and never let go. I hope they get fixed before the new maps are introduced.
Other than that, the new area looks great.

James,
I feel like the sky is too blue. Devs should really add more weather effect and make it a grey dull, super cloudy sky. It would help so much with immersion!

The weather is dynamic, it already does that in battles. For the sake of presentation in an update preview announcement, it is better to use clear sky and good lighting instead of greyness
Cool. This is exactly what I had in mind when the first Ardennes map was announced. Bastogne! Hopefully it will be on more rotation than the Hurtgen Forest one. Because Iād rather play this one.

Maybe the player count would increase if they removed end-war equipment from early maps like Rzhev and Stalingrad

Do you have any news about infantry weapons and vehicles can disclose the information?
Gotta wait
Any progress for the super pershing?
I donāt mind it in Rhzev because that map is fresh and not a sniper hellhole like Stalingrad
And Soviets/Germans are the par for top tier that other nations need to be balanced against so there isnāt a disparity there
Looks absolutely beautiful! Like most maps/locations in this game. The designers is on top of their game.
I hope this certain map can make me appreciate Bulge for once (since the problem with bots shooting through foilage destroys my fun playing the maps of this new campaign).

Thatās what Iām hoping for
You all should add weather prayers that make the snow stop
Itās disappointing and painful to see how the playerbaseās standards have gone down regarding expected content.
I still remember when they could release multiple, large, 2x2 or 4x4km maps for the game. Just look at this:
Look at the dates. Thatās right. 3 distinct maps in the same year! And they are not miniature 1x1km maps!Sure they have been in development prior, but itās their job to make sure they can pump out enough content per year.
What happened?
Based on the pictures, they are trying to āsellā a map expansion, which looks like a week of work at worst, as a major addition. I see copy pasted RI from other parts of the map. As far as i know map designers also make some of the models for the maps, so thatās acceptable. This is minor update material, alongside bugfix notes.
Shame.
Letās hope they bring something nice to table, looking foward to the other devblogs.

Can we finally have Tank Camo that changes depending on Campaign with next update?
So we get Winter CAmo on this one as example?
Itās about time you add that nowā¦

Yeah, itād be nice to get entire fronts worth of maps for updates again. As is weāve been getting only one or two maps every once in a while for a while now
Rzhev was the remix of the greatest hit of Moscow/Stalingrad/Berlin with a few new objects generated from scratch so it was obvious that they will be reusing old assets, first batch of Ardennes maps were also full of recycled old assets.
Itās nothing new in the industry iām playing Monster Hunter 3/4/U and they all use same animations for the weapons and movement as new games, Forza keep recycling cars and stages, Gran Turismo even right now with last game are using old ps3 models which were more often than not ps2 models and upgraded to ps4 standard with Gran Turismo Sport and Yakuza games are always recycling same old location but with passage of time so they feels both old and new at same time (just compare Yakuza 0 to Yakuza 6/7 itās completely different). Itās a way for new games or content to be added quicker and to save money.
Problem is why itās taking for them so long to release new locations if they are reusing assets in the past they could pump out multiple locations a year but now itās at the snails pace.

Itās not the new map people, just expansion of old Ardennes map.

What happened ?
Everything back then was hidden behind a paywallā¦ but game has keeped its quality.
Nowadays - new content, fix of bugs are not that important. Only - more silver for free, and absolutely no content in store, because people will cry about p2w.
