It makes sense that major update 1.95 “Northern Wind” should bring with it a Northern location! We accordingly present to you a new arena for War Thunder naval battles - South Kvarken, a seashore of granite rocks and stone forts!
South Kvarken is a new location coming to naval battles in War Thunder, and will be available in the upcoming update 1.95 “Northern Wind”. Our artists chose the coastal sea area of Finland as the basis for this location, and is arguably one of the more difficult areas for naval vessels to navigate. We set out to convey, as closely as possible, the harsh nature of these waters - granite rocks scatter the location, and many islands, differing in size, are interconnected by various bridges and scenic forts.
In total, this location holds as many as 70 islands, as well as structures recreated according to real-life counterparts, such as the Replot bridge, the large Olafsborg fortress, the the small forts of Svartholm and Sveaborg.
Meet the South Kvarken naval location in War Thunder’s upcoming update 1.95 “Northern Wind”!

I like the Planet Express building
ROTFL XD
Release the Kvarken!
LOL! I thought that too.
Yeah nice, but...do we get the "northern Navy" this patch? No....it will be Aviation so why is this map for ships? some freshness in the AirRB could be useful :(
i agree, it has been ages since the last Air RB map and the once we got are not particularly great either. like seriously gaijin, just use a bit bigger version of this for the Air RB map rotation, i would love to see something new when flying...i mean i dont even expect a good ground RB map with a WW2 theme(that cargo port one is horrible) but at least *something* new map wise for those of us that dont enjoy naval at all.
Apfelsator, I respect your opinion but disagree. cargo port map for me is really fun. One of my favorites.
Looks absolutely beautiful! I've been there once and that makes me love this.
Wow, what was it like to go there?
Umm, the bridge is from the west, the castle from the east and sveaborg from the south. How did they end up in the same place?
I just want to make a suggestion to help out the game. I have noticed that recently world of tanks has been sponsoring big youtubers such as jacksepticeye and markiplier. I think this could be a great way to advertise war thunder as millions of people watch their videos everyday. By sponsoring one of them and having them play it I have no doubt it would bring many new people to the game. The new people could help solve some of war thunders biggest issues that radiate from a lack of players su...
War Thunder already has its own fleet of YouTubers. Plus, nearly all of the big YouTubers have already been sponsored by WoT and thus can't be sponsored by WT.
AceTheMusicMan, LOL, It's like saying you can't buy a prostitute, because someone already bought her before :P
Does the Devs know that they have made a mistake in Challenger 2 addion armor kit. Currently it's called Dorchester level 2F but in operation telic in 2003 were challenger 2 received it's first addion armor kit which was similar to challanger 1 addion armor kit the only difference is Challenger 2 addion armor kit uses Dorchester Armour pacifically level 2E. So it should be more effective than Challenger 1 addion armor kit.
pacifically
Your talking to the same people who took 6 months to admit they had modelled the Javelin wrong whilst before hand constantly denying what they knew was true.
Looks good. Any ground battles map for 1.95?
looks really nice, well done
I sleep.
Except that none of the fortresses is located anywhere near Kvarken IRL. Olofsborg (note the spelling) isn't at the seashore at all, but at the shore of an inland lake. IRL the waters of Kvarken are also very shallow and crowded with rocks and skerries. Navigating even a small boat requires care. But what the heck, the map looks very beautiful, and I also appreciate that these fortresses have been modelled, never mind the relocation :)
