Countless battles have already unfolded in the Mediterranean theatre in War Thunder, but with update 1.79 tankers will get the chance to escape the scorching desert heat of North Africa to fight on the first Mediterranean ground map set in the beautiful Italian countryside of the Reggio Calabria province!
Upcoming War Thunder update 1.79 brings with it a new map for combined arms battles set on the southernmost part of the Italian mainland. The map is inspired by the settlements and rocky landscape of the Reggio Calabria province overlooking the Strait of Messina.
As such, players will find themselves fighting in and around a quiet Italian settlement situated in a valley surrounded by tall mountains. Numerous winding roads and paths as well as a river on the north of the map break up the meadows surrounding the small settlement. These are home not only to the occasional Italian style villa, orchard and vineyard, but will also make for a prime hunting ground for fast, lightly armored vehicles as well as tank destroyers. The vast open fields provide little cover and are thus highly unsuited for slower vehicles, whereas the more mobile counterparts can make excellent use of the terrain to perform unexpected flanking maneuvers.
The settlement, which stretches from the southern shoreline to the river on the north, is filled to the brim with colourful and diverse Italian architecture, yet untouched by the destruction of war. However, there is no time to stop by the nearest café to enjoy the atmosphere and a glass of the finest local wine! As with any urban location, the settlement provides good cover and is therefore more suited for traditional head to head engagements of medium and heavy machines. Although hard cover has the benefit of shielding you from incoming fire, it also works both ways when concealing a vehicle. Namely, the narrow streets, apart from the town’s parks and plazas, offer only limited view ranges around your vehicle. This means that you will have to be cautious and rely on communication with your team as well as follow the flow of the battle to make sure you don’t get cut off in enemy territory and end up surprised by an enemy encirclement.
All War Thunder players will have the chance to fight on the new Italian combined battles map, coming to the game with update 1.79! Prepare for battle, commanders!

So, this map is pretty and all, But can someone at least tell me if gaijin is even working on rank 6 jets. Because, that F-100 Super Sabre user mission was really cool and proof that it could work.
I like this. It'll be a nice change from all the snow and ruined factories.
ITALY HYYPPPEEEE
Looking at the 360 cam: Alright bois start picking up your cheeky spots
Looking at the maps reminds me of all the feathers I need to collect in a certain Italian game
The map remind me so much from those maps of ''another tank game'', it's beautiful is what i'm saying. But i bet we're still going to get abandoned factory or Berlin like 99.99 % and rarely this Italian map because of shitty map rotation.
But i have to be honest this map is more well done than the french map. The french map is very rough and poor.
Maaan, this really makes me want to travell to Italy or Greece or somewhere. Meanwhile, i have to sit at home and do exams stuff... :/
I love the map, I mean I really do but what about so German tanks. the British and U.S tech tree get one. but what about some German equivalents of an Abrams t-64B. This new update might be overhyped just like the leopard 2k.
My planes??
