This ancient land has seen more than its fair share of wars. Charging iron beasts replaced battle chariots, and there, where the stones of slingshots cracked and arrows shot out in a wicked swarm, tank shells now fly to their targets with a sinister whistle.
The new Sinai map awaits desert hunters in War Thunder update 1.63!

We are pleased to present a new location for mixed battles, Sinai, which will become available to all players in War Thunder 1.63 Desert Hunters! Our artists took inspiration from the Sinai Peninsula for this desert map – a land where military conflicts have been raging for many centuries. Military operations on the Sinai map will unfold around a small oil complex in the centre of the map. This strategically important position provides control over a significant part of the area and the main battles will revolve around capturing this position. The position is far from an unassailable fortress, so defending this position will require true team play – you won't survive here solo. To the left and right of the derricks, there are two more important areas: an oil depot and a half-destroyed village. It is these positions that the teams will want to capture at the very beginning of the battle and ensure that the opponent doesn't take them by assault.

We have tried to make Sinai balanced for all types of military vehicles. In spite of the alluring openness of the location, it does feature cover and folds in the terrain that can be used to move a whole column of heavy tanks with no fear of taking enemy fire. Boulders, cliffs and dried out bushes can hide sniper SPGs on the sandy plain. Medium and light tanks will find work at the capture points: the buildings and structures form a true labyrinth in which dramatic battles will take place at close ranges.

Wow, nice was wondering where "desert hunters" was getting it's name from :) How big is the map?
Nice
Cool map!
Looks pretty hot to me. Perhaps during the night...
Awesome! another desert map, hopefully its absolutely humongous, i don't understand the hate over big maps, i love them.
Because they can be boring at times.
Nice
One of the first Cold War maps, there are carcasses of dead Egyptian T-54s and Israeli Centurions scattered accross the landscape.
Goodness! How many Warthunder GF maps exist now?!
How big and how open will this map be? Will there be a larger, SB version? What would a typical average engagement distance be?
Great! I am always very interested on the Arab-Israeli wars. I think this map is a nicely addition to WT, GAIJIN Just needs to make some Cold War tank duels & events on this map and it will be perfect.
Sinai... cool. And could we have Israel M51 in US line?
Why? It has nothing to do with US tree.
GreenAid, The M51 was a modified Sherman variant. The Israelis called their m4s the M50 and M51. There were actually 3 types, the Israelis designated them as two. The 1st type they created was by adding different tracks to it and replacing the gun with a French derivative of the Panther's 75mm. The 2nd was the same, but they replaced the engine with diesel, improving survivability by making the tank less flammable. The 3rd was like the 2nd, but with a 105mm. Could fight modern soviet tanks and win.
