Main Changes

Map Changes

  • The Oyster Bay map was added.

Mines

  • The driveway to the island (squares H2–H3) from the lower team’s side is now safer.

  • It is no longer possible to shoot at vehicles of the lower team from the mountain in square E7.
  • A house covering the collision point on the corner in square D7 was added.

Airfield

  • The central direction (squares D5–D7 and E5–E7) was reworked to make gameplay more comfortable for heavily armored vehicles. The side "fenders" are now larger, and players can now take several positions there.
  • The clash area was moved toward the center of the map, making it possible to balance the distance of fire.
  • A driveway from the central hill towards heavy tanks’ positions was added (squares E5–E6 and D5–D6).
