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!

Well done guys! Been waiting for an Italy ground forces map for some time.
looks like a slightly more urban version of Maginot Line from the explorable images but i seem to remember you doing that with Maginot Line when it was announced, so will it be like Maginot Line where it is actually huge and 2/3 of the map is open fields or will it be like Advance to the Rhine where it is completely urban or is it going to be like Korea (38th Parallel) where it is a fairly small(ish) map with plenty of cover?
NEW MAP! Stunning. Bet it will look great even with my lego graphics :D At what BR's will we get to fight in it?
Ah, I love it! I'd love to see a map with a huge city tho. Something like Berlin. Just not destroyed.
Can we have this as an Air RB map too pls.
Great, another city map?
"set in the beautiful Italian countryside of the Reggio Calabria province!" Where exactly? ...the map makes me think you typoed 'inspired by' as 'set in'. Lazzaro, Italy (hint is in map picture filename) looks quite different on satellite pictures in terms of terrain..
oh great another place to get ur head blown off in a chieffy
Awesome! Now can you pleas fix the absurdity that is Berlin above 5.7 - Middle East at any BR due to the east being FAR better to spawn in. - 38th Parallel. Level it to the ground and start over.
but can i stop to admire the view?
