Oyster Bay Enters Random Battles!

Enjoy the Views (And History)

For decades, the island was held by one of the adversaries, who had constructed an airbase on the land. However, several years ago, the other side drove their troops out and entrenched, building multiple coastal bunkers. Now, the first power is back for revenge. The locals to whom the island rightfully belongs haven’t benefited from the presence of either occupying force: the landscape is littered with various military structures, and it is not easy to find a place to grow food or set up an oyster farm. Adding to their woes, a massive volcano is about to erupt, sending billowing smoke into the beautiful blue sky.

Play in Various Ways

Oyster Bay is the first map set on a tropical island, and the battlefield is completely surrounded by water. However, that’s not the only feature that makes this map special. It is also very large: At 1,300x1,300 meters, it is 69% more spacious than a standard 1 km² map. In fact, the extra size was one of the most requested features by players. There are also additional bypass routes behind the bases and in the middle of the map, prompting you to be mobile and tactically aware. Here, smart maneuvering pays off even more than usual.

Hear the Tale

The musical theme of the Oyster Bay map is as fresh and exotic as the location itself. It is set in a ¾ time signature, which is rare for the World of Tanks soundtrack, and consists of two elements that accentuate the rhythm and the melody, respectively, and gradually intertwine. The rhythmic part is inspired by the Tumahik war dance and heavily relies on various percussion instruments that are unique to the region. It conveys the theme of an imminent conflict, while the melodic part expresses the awesome natural beauty of this war-torn place.
