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!

please okay test so its not a flunk like vietnam. but i must say, this map is stunning! gorgeous!
Does this map have a multistory car park, that'd be cool if we could drive our tanks up it and add a layer of dynamic gameplay.
Suggestion for next map: Urban Antarctica! HYPE!!
Didn't you say that you only implement historical locations? What is the story about Alaska? Can't recall any battle happening in Alaska between skyscrapers. (not that i don't like it, just that you say 1 thing and than you do others things.)
I'm getting sck of getting sniped by heli's from 4+km away, and CAS bombed while try to sneak behind enemy line, could we try a realist tank battle without air unit for few days ? Just to see the opinion of the community on this after giving a try...
Easy way to handle that is to let aircraft be used from the outset of the battle. I helo will think long and hard about chillin at altitude with fixed wing on the prowl.
Why do I get the feeling that I'm simply looking at a less destroyed version of abandoned factory? I really hope this isn't exclusively a small map, all those maps do is encourage spawn camping at high tiers. Also please show us the map layout!
Can someone make a survival game out of this map?
hope the spawns have somekind of protections unlike the other maps
As an Alaskan myself I’m hyped to play in my back yard :)
THANK YOU for adding in another urban map. It feels like it's been awhile since we've seen one added (with the exception of Nevada of course). Please keep up the good work.
