Supertest News 13/04 - Berlin Map Prototype

Kandly: Commanders, We love sharing updates on new locations in World of Tanks – and today, we’re happy to share a sneak peek on the Berlin map prototype as it reaches the Supertest server. What we’d like to do is to create a completely new map, similar to the real terrain – not historically identical, though, because we had to abandon the idea in favor of gameplay comfort. Berlin is planned as a mixed location, featuring an urban area and open spaces, with historical elements like the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag building, and the railway station.  When it comes to gameplay, the map will be appropriate for all vehicles types: Heavy tanks will be suitable in zone 1. The urban area will cover them from SPG fire and the opponent TDs’ distant fire. The open area (including zones 2 and 3) is suitable for Light and Medium tanks, with zone 2 requiring lots of mobility (you will need to be on the move here all the time, otherwise enemy SPGs will be able to hit you) – and zone 3 as a great spot for active and passive spotting. As for Tank Destroyers, we’ve thought of several positions on the flanks that allow them to effectively keep the opponents’ vehicles in check when able & when needed. This is the first closed test of the Berlin map, during which we'll check whether the early map prototype is playable or not. This means that the location might change significantly in the future! Stay tuned for all future announcements and don’t forget to share your feedback below! Roll Out!
