[WoT] The Map Thing

As I have mentioned a few times, we are currently streamlining our level design workflow and techniques. Your feedback on the existing in-game maps is highly welcomed.

Which of the current maps do you enjoy? Why?
Which reworked maps are overhauled poorly and why?
Maps of what setting/type do you prefer in general?

Let's discuss here.

PS. some extra info to fuel the discussion:

• Dragon Ridge and Serene Coast will be disabled in 8.4.
• Bumpy terrain of Prokhorovka, Abbey, El Halluf, and Ruinberg (rounded streets) are going to be addressed.
• Redshire and El Halluf will undergo some gameplay changes.
• Swamp and Komarin will be visually reworked and brought back to live.

Look to the Future: First US-based Map

Glad to present you the screenshots featuring tiny US town surrounded by prairies.

The map has not been scheduled for any particular update yet. The release date will be specified later.

Welcome to Fishing Bay

Fishing Bay is a new map planned to be introduced in 6.7 update (September 2011).

Below are the screenshots featuring some of its attractions.

Vote on WoT Maps!

Fancy rushing thru the middle or prefer camping? This way or that you gotta have your favorite places to do that on WoT battlefields and those you detest! Tell me about it and we might listen this time!:)

We have lotsa maps, good ones and bad ones (this is what you tend to insist on; my standpoint is that Malinovka rules!) If you truly believe a map leaves much to be desired, give it a try and shout about it right here.

You can select multiple answers to both questions. My request would be to choose up to five (5). Thank you.

What I need is not a balanced description of pros or/and cons, but just your vote, however detailed analysis is always welcome. Share your hatred of Komarin, give your appreciation to narrow streets of Himmelsdorf.

Let's vote!

New Map: Mannerheim Line

The Mannerheim Line was a defensive fortification line on the Karelian Isthmus built by Finland against the Soviet Union. During the Winter War of 1939-1940 it became known as the Mannerheim Line, after Field Marshal Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim. The line was constructed in two phases: 1920–1924 and 1932–1939.

The map is planned to be introduced in 6.5 update.
