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 thought Alaska was where all the good map designers were sent
Looks great! I enjoy playing American town. One of my favorite maps.
"Alaska? Could be interesting, lots of wide open spaces, windy tundras, icy expan- oh." This actually seems more reminiscent of the urban areas in 7 Days to Die , which is.. awkward. I hope it plays well, but after the disappointment of "American Desert" (where you can see how big the map is when you fly over it, only to realise the ground battle area is squished almost entirely into the city) I'm not exactly going to be rubbing my hands together in anticipation. Screenshots look nice tho.
Is it just me or does this look incredibly similar to the Highway map from World of Tanks?
Is it just me or does this look like some other maps from another tank game
Specifically the Highway map from world of tanks
Keep up the work guys. I am probably one of the few that enjoys these close quarters maps so do not go back to making sniping maps only please.

are the spawnpoints on this map atleast spawncamper safe ? still waiting for proper protection.....
While I do love the way your maps look, there are a few problems with many of them. But, that would require a whole forum discussion (and there's been plenty of those already). All I'll say here is, please, please, please stop putting 1950+ maps in rotation for tiers 1-4, since it's really jarring to see early WWII tanks driving around on maps that are clearly from long after WWII (like American Desert or Fulda and now this)
only one thing miss on this map ,railroad in middle of town.Then it will be copy of Word of Dunks map
