New locations in update 1.89 - “Smolensk” and “Volcanic Island”
In update “Imperial Navy” we will add two new locations to the game - the aircraft location “Smolensk” and a naval location “Volcanic Island”.
Location : Volcanic Island
The naval location “Volcanic Island” - is an archipelago of small rocky islands concentrically diverging from the centre of the location where there is one of the capture points. Inspiration for this map was taken from the seascape, rocks, vegetation and nature around New Zealand.
Location : Smolensk
The location for aircraft battles “Smolensk” has been created on with reference to aerial photography of Smolensk and its environs in autumn 1941. Here, during the Battle of Smolensk, even with the high cost in human and material losses for the Red Army, it was possible to disrupt the “Barbarossa” plan and to prevent the breakthrough of the German army towards Moscow.

I hope that train station mean that will be added some moving train as ground target! After a long time this map is the first real place map , i hope we will se more great cities like Budapest or Warsaw as map
Urban Afghanistan :)
Moscow
Wow, Smolensk looks beautiful! Love the ridgelines and hilly terrain. Any possibility it might also be included as a Ground Forces map at some point?
It could be possible (with some work...), the maps looks quite interesting from a ground perspective too!
Ouiche, I really hope they will!! :)
Agreed, Smolensk looks beautiful! Talking about maps... Gaijin where stays Afghanistan for ground vehicles?
New aircraft map, yeeess! Hope to see Vietnam for jets soon.
Sorry, read it wrong. And i thought Vietnam is there already for jets?
How about the MiG-19PT and F-100D? ;)
All answers (1)War_Gaming_NL, I think he meant the more iconic jets like the mig 21 and f-4 phantom. Maybe a a-4 skyhawk on the side?
That naval map looks like a good map for destroyers etc with cover!
yes it look good... we need maps with good cover for destroyers and small boats... not like the black sea map.
Fungusar_DK, I can see Witch Mountain, am I wrong? Ohh and you used NZ but I dont see the sheep, only the opening for where Gajin hides the Alien Craft inside Witch Mountain.
Great work! I see a lot of combined battles potential for these maps!
FINALLY! This must be the first new aircraft map in over a year! Great to see and it looks beautiful too.
Afghan exists though ;)
Very nice! These maps look very detailed, especially Smolensk!
Do they?
Adargi, yes
