We continue to expand the number of locations represented in War Thunder with every update, and update 1.87 won’t be an exception to that. Today, we’re happy to present to our players a new location for ground battles, set in beautiful Alaska!
Briefly: A new location for ground battles, inspired by the mountain regions of Alaska.
In update 1.87, we’re happy to present a new location for ground battles, set in the stunning mountainous landscape of Alaska. Specifically, players will battle for control over a small Alaskan town and its imminent surroundings, fighting on wide city streets between skyscrapers in one engagement and dense evergreen forests in the other.
The main focus of battles taking place on this location will be centered around the strategic zones situated within the city itself. Depending on the battle type, players may find themselves contesting ground on either the town’s more open outskirts, where lighter vehicles and tank destroyers can especially benefit from better visibility and longer engagement distances, or the city center itself, where the more frantic close-quarters engagements will take place, more suitable for heavy brawlers.
The new Alaska map will become available in ground battles with the release of the upcoming update 1.87. We hope you enjoy it! Until then, stay tuned for more news on the next update coming to War Thunder. We’ll see you in battle!

I can not be hyped to your maps, no more. I learned how terrible your map designs are after the Italy and Vietnam maps. Visually speaking, very beautiful but the gameplay and balance of these maps are trash! Everytime i get Vietnam over and over i'm just done playing the game... I really don't care how beautiful the map looks, you better explain what the designers had in their minds when making it. Tell us more if the map will be balanced or how this map affect different types of vehicle! ETC
Ouch, but ok. This is not a bad idea, map design is a fascinating topic. We'll see if we can develop the map design devblogs in the next update, maybe have a chat about it and smooth things out.
All answers (13)Ouiche, That topic is really old and nothing was changed
+1
Crylia, +1
Looks really good but please play test it correctly!!! We don't want another Vietnam situation
THIS MAP LOOKS AWESOME! I cant wait! I like the Vietnam map. Its very detailed!
All answers (5)fritzjenkins, Yes Vietnam looks nice but when it came out it had a lot - and still has a lot - of bugs, such as really bad hitboxes on trees and obstacles, and how you can get outside of the intended play area and camp on the mountains.
*Vietnam flashback intensifies* Also I think the mountain camping is intended- Many maps have such kinda weird spots. Like Italy and this American Town where one can snipe over the town via those weird hills.
Can we stop with the urban maps ? Can we get some 2km sniping maps ????
no, go take your driving sim mentality and go to fulda.
All answers (10)sartt, On the one hand, maps like these would benefit tanks like Challenger 1/2 and most Soviet tanks... on the other hand, driving for 10 minutes without seing anyone is not very amusing xD
No
All answers (2)StonoFox, Kursk, fields of Poland and all the others are already enough
Another overcrowded labyrint trash with 10 meter shooting and barrels swordplay. Yeah, put it to arcade, I don't care, but stop putting this type of maps to RB and SIM!!!!
But it's so pretty
Oh ma gad , so much bright lights.
Please, give us bigger maps! The current biggest maps are way too small for higher tiers, specially Tier 6 and even later Tier 5. I can't even imagine how terrible it will be having Tier 7 fighting in urban locations! Please FIX this!
They are big, problem was all the players complained to no end that it took to long to get to battle gaigin shrunk them down, I actually remember when I could put my tank on cruise control get up get some food take a restroom break and get back and still have another 2 minutes of driving before getting to an objective, everyone complained so gaijin shrunk the maps
All answers (1)SuperiorCamaro, What? lol
I can't understand why the people asking for small maps don't just play arcade. It's simple, it's got quick action, all the tanks are faster in top speed, acceleration, turret traverse, etc etc. But nooooo, we need arcade-sized maps for realistic battles. In any case, chances are we'll have multiple variations of this map, or the map will incorporate various zones like with big Sinai (e.g. large open hilly area to the south, close-quarters town in the middle, and that claustrophobic lane up top)
All answers (3)Zetaris, @Zetaris I really hate this "play arcade" argument. Why don't you just play Simulator than which has much bigger maps?? I like the mix of different scaled maps, maybe some should be a bit larger because high tier could engage on further distances.
I think Gaijing just hired a trollteam
hahahahhahahaha
xD
Please stop with urban maps, this is not WoT
This is not urban-only map, there will be open spaces too.
All answers (1)Thulle_, @Thulle_ like the America map?... 100m of open space around the town.
They maybe get some workers from the War Gaming
50 pages of peoples asking for big open maps where mbts can make actual use of their mobility , guns and armor yet we get another cage arena .... needless to say more !!!
Big open maps are often flat in this game, which means shooting from spawn to spawn on high br...
All answers (1)MatPL1122, I know only one map where you can destroy enemy from spawn to spawn, but its because it is small version of original full map
"Voice module online. Audio functionality test initialized. Designation: Liberty Prime. Mission: the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska. Primary Targets: any and all Red Chinese invaders."
basically lol
HOLY HELL DAMN GAIJIN
THIS IS SO COOL
WickedPenguin, REEEEEEEEEEEE
