server a while ago.

players figure out positions and how to play, and then adjust to
balance it better. Now it all looks the same on every new map being
introduced, just the graphic changes, some rather narrow
alleys/routes for tanks to pass and then some bushes and rock in
the back, somewhere on the higher ground, for TD's to hide and try
to snipe passing tanks. The idea is always the same, one side of
the map corridor for Heavies, the other side for Meds, sometimes
third corridor in the middle, and almost always big parts of the
map being disabled by either huge mountains or some water.
1000x1000 meter maps are not big enough for Tier X meta anymore,
and you deliberately make the maps even smaller with those tricks.
Dwigt: I will have to disagree with you on the first part of your post.As
I always say rebalancing is an ongoing/never-ending process in game
development. Not talking about our maps or WoT, but this is
how it goes in all games. Closed testing will have much
different results and feedback than the live server, where
thousands of players will be providing data and
feedback. Regarding the similarities in our maps, I
understand you and Ragnaguard's point but given the current
state of the game and the realistic side of our maps, we are bound
to these design patterns, if I can call them patterns. Having
said that, it doesn't mean that we do not consider other changes
and designs. Hopefully we will be able to share more news and maps
with you soon!

middle, and the "I wonder which side the mediums are going to flank
this time 
" flank... New content is always appreciated as
long as it enhances the gameplay experience, but before spending
any more time or thought on this game, I'd really prefer to get a
glimpse into the roadmap WG has for their World of Tanking a
Company project. Also, if WG is not capable to copy/paste a working
Recon mode from the current random mode - just with different maps
and limited tiers - I have to admit that I'm worried. Is Kislyi
still there somewhere? I'd like to see him in a public appearance
to at least pretend that WG is still somewhat confident in their
own Driving-Down-A-Corridor-Simulator.Dwigt: We shared some of our plans during the stream of the year and
during some of the Q&A with CMs and developers but you have to
keep in mind that those some of the plans that are shared (or not)
can be postponed, changed or cancelled.Czech Heavies are coming
soon, big changes are being tested, new modes and maybe maps and
tanks are in the pipeline. The MM is a very delicate
thing, especially in a complex game like ours, we wish it was just
a matter of copy paste 
Sturmi_0545, on 26 July 2021 - 04:29 PM, said: less to no cover would be required, if there was only one SPG on each team. Also, instead of cutting off separate lanes/corridors using impassable terrain (buildings, mountains, lakes,...), it would be nice to see an open map (remember, there is max. 1 SPG in this dream) where the general topography/profile of the map alone would provide some cover, yet allow crossing the terrain wherever strategically convenient. 2 out of 3 tank games are doing this rather well.
Dwigt: As I replied reesku above, the current state of the game require us
to have some of those similarities in maps that you are mentioning.
Like you said, 1 SPG per team in this dream but not in the current
state 
We do have open maps but I guess
you know what Heavy tank players' opinion. With the current
random matchmaker the same map can play differently in the same
tank depending on the team compositions. Don't you agree?That same
map, Safe Haven, you might go on the open fields in your heavy if
there are no SPGs in the battle.

how many new maps are in the pipeline for this year. Cause if u
want to impress me, ten is the minimum number im looking at Dwigt: The map was tested a while a go on the Supertest. Feel free to
check the Japort threads on the supertest section?I can't promise
you 10 maps but I can tell you that we have
more maps planned for this year, rebalancing changes for existing
ones, Recon mode should come back and other types of content. Ofc
if all goes according to plan! 11:55 Added after 1 minute

soon. Seeing that it's a big update and it's getting lots of
feedback, stuff might change and dates can move.
