Attention, pilots and tank commanders! We are pleased to present a new location for mixed battles that we have prepared for War Thunder update 1.67: The Ardennes!
December 1944. The mountain town of Bastogne, which is being held by American troopers, has become a serious obstacle to the advance of Hitler’s troops into Belgium. This ancient town is where all of the main roads through the Ardennes mountains meet. The German army is not stopping – the cost of delaying the assault on Antwerp is too high. However, the besieged Americans are determined to wait for General Patton’s tanks to break through the line and provide reinforcements. “Us surrender? Aw, nuts!”
The Battle of the Bulge became one of the main events of Allied combat operations during World War II. We invite you to the outskirts of Bastogne, the first major stage of the Battle of the Bulge. Here, the fate of the Western Front as a whole will be decided on cobblestone streets and hilly terrain surrounding the town. We have tried to recreate the early winter color palette of the Ardennes and the ancient Belgian town on which the main events of the battle will take place. The hills will allow fire support vehicles and scouts to occupy tactical positions without being noticed, and the tanks assaulting the town will meet in Bastogne and vie for strategically important points. Pilots will have to carefully select directions for their bombing runs and assault strikes along the town’s narrow streets and keep track not only of enemy fighters, but also anti-air guns that could strike from the countless hiding spots in this mountainous location.
The Ardennes will be available for ground vehicle battles and all modes in War Thunder 1.67. See you in Bastogne!

Ive been to bastone once and to the ardennes a lot, I'm sorry but there's a lot more forrest arround the village, (ever seen Band Of Brothers?) and where are the trances arround the village in the forrest? and i agree with the rest, this battle whas mostly snow, when the Americans arrived with tanks to save the paratroopers, it was winter.
As long as the buildings and major parts of scenery can be demolished, im good with it. I love the great work, keep ot up Gaijin.
I hope we see new Japanese tanks for tier I or tier II. The Ardennes are interesting.
Ok all we need is an outskirts of moscow map
If you don't remove the leaves on the trees then you have absolutely no idea of map design. You're Russian for gods sake by December the leaves are gone. This looks like Eastern Europe.
This is silly, The colour pallet is all wrong. You need stop reusing assets and start creating new colour pallets. Pretty sure the grass in Bastogne wasn't the same colour as the grass in Eastern Europe.
Wow! Could I request the Battle of Arracourt, the largest armored conflict in the western theatre? That would be awesome. Thanks for the good work!
Very nice map/location!!!!!!!(for AB at least) And PLEASE...forget snow!!!!!!!! Enough snow maps!! I don't get it why so many ask for it...its boring....not visualy nice....and....white :P And the fact its a "town" map is welcome too!(again, at least for AB) yeah...I don't like snow maps....finland maybe
Nuts!
People need to stop asking for snow, the current ones are still painful to play on.
MadMax_666, Looking forward to this new map, great work.
It look like Eastern Europe without the river. NICE!!!
