Welcome to a new location for naval battles - "Aleutian Islands", that we plan to add to the game with the release of the War Thunder: Raining Fire
The volcanic Aleutian Islands archipelago, located between Alaska and Kamchatka, became the target of Japan's diversionary operation to capture Midway during World War II. It is here, with the release of the Raining Fire update, battles between naval vessels and aircraft of War Thunder will begin. The harsh northern climate has made this archipelago almost lifeless with only the sea, rocks and rare vegetation. Amongst this grim beauty you will find a small naval base with a maintenance dock, a lighthouse and a few rare buildings.
The relief of the interior of the archipelago is replete with rocks and small islands, where only smaller motor boats can pass. Destroyers feel comfortable at some distance from the main group of islands - from there they can attack both the coastal zone and targets out at sea.
You will be able to meet the challenge in the new and interesting location "Aleutian Islands" very soon with the release of the War Thunder: Raining Fire.

Pretty neat map. Needs some big fat lazy seals on those islands to make them authentic lol.
Stona, you'd want to see seals too right?
With sound effects!!

Very pretty, but where are the penguins?
yay penguins please
penguins near the arctic circle?
saiiibot, A Polar bear maybe more appropriate :)
It's a nice map, but I mean.. it's naval. I feel like we could have gotten a new ground or air map instead
you know some of us play and enjoy naval you know
All answers (9)bilbosfrodos, I love the naval gameplay, but the economy is terrible, not gonna grind out 380k xp at just only 3k at a time.
Tank battles are almost as bad with the economy, plus you just get killed by aircrafts and helis without a chance to fight back... But gaijin only knows how to make things annoying to try to make people pay them... But people aren't gonna pay them when it's still bad even with premium... Have to grind SL with aircrafts just to be able to afford new vehicles and repair costs with tanks... Utterly stupid. This game would be completely dead if there wasn't air battles with decent economy in it...

Ah yes, another map that for all intents and purposes is designed no different from the others with a PT play area crammed into one side of the map and open sea on the other. least you had the sense to make the islands tall enough to serve as some kind of useful cover. What we really need is maps designed with a certain class in mind, not these terrible attempts at getting everyone to coexist on the same small maps.
The islands on this map look much steeper than with many other naval maps. Also, designing a map with 'one class' in mind just means that everyone will say that class is op...
AttackerCat, I don't see how making a map designed primary around say cruisers and destroyers will make said classes OP? it certainly wont make them any more OP than a single destroyer getting into the boat area. the "one size fits all" approach doesn't really fit anyone as boats will always be under the thumb of destroyers while cruisers will be unable to react fast enough to boats but destroyer are in turn under the thumb of cruisers, its un-enjoyable for almost everyone involved.
Yes I see 2 key factors 1. make some maps for rank 2 ships and lower (or say BR 3.7) and then some open sea maps for rank 3 and up (or BR 4.7+) and 2. This is far more important on open sea maps allow us to have storms and rough seas (I used to hide my reserve LS between the waves and i could sneak up on destroyers in the beta) Bring back larger waves. It made for good cover and more tactics and also adds to a players gunner skills
9/10 No fat bouncy (navy) seals
Looks great, and Naval is a fantastic game played in War Thunder. I hope Raining Fire may bring us some more open sea maps, and some manner of inclusion within Squadron Battles. Mixed RB Squadron Battles that shifted to Naval Mixed RB Squadron Battles would mean that Squadrons of War Thunder would need to master land, sea, and air, to rise to the top ranks.
According to the dev server, we won't be seeing any of that this patch
All answers (1)AceofWWII, *Monumental facepalm* "that we plan to add to the game with the release of the War Thunder: Raining Fire" Guess the name of update 1.101...
Community: fix tank and plane maps. Gaijin: BOATS.
Yeah, same maps, same old crap objectives. Really old and boring and frustrating when K/D try-hards got all the sweet spots memorized.
Maybe you would side with gaijin if you actually played naval.
