New location for mixed battles amongst the sandstone cliffs of the great Sahara desert.
In the upcoming Red Skies update we are presenting a new location for War Thunder mixed battles that we are calling "Red Desert". This is a sandstone plateau surrounded by the dunes of a great desert. A small river sources here to quickly dry up under the hot African sun. The life-giving moisture, however, is sufficient for several palm groves and majestic acacias. A small village is located In the centre of the oasis- a couple of dozen houses and a mosque.
This location was inspired from the views of North and Central Africa, and especially the Ennedi Plateau in Chad, formed from sandstone cliffs in the Sahara desert.
The “Red Desert” location will appear in the game with the release of the major update Red Skies very soon!

Nice
Best map since forever it feels like, there are enough terrain features to advance very aggressively but long range combat is possible at the same time, I just hope spawns have protecting rocks or other hard cover, that would make it an excellent map!
BakerOne, Spawn sniping is impossible :) Map designers nailed it perfectly. It's like they too the best of Maginot Line, the best of sands of sinain mixed it to obtain the finest milleage of both these maps all wraper in a awesome looking wild west environment ! Wonderful !
Nice vacation spot
After veeery long time, you finally did map where player is not forced to dumb CQC barrels swordplay? Who are you and what did you do with Gaijin?
I absolutely love this map, can't wait to play on it!
This map's gonna make the South African cars feel at home this is epic
Amusingly the location that inspired this map (Ennedi Plateau) is about the same distance from Sweden as it is from South Africa. (4500km; 2800mi), and significantly closer to Italy, Germany, and France.
We need more toyotas for this map. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_War
More city maps pls, we have enough deserts, fields and forests already
NO
City map bad. Sweden bad. Advance to the Rhine bad. Berlin bad. Campania bad.
All answers (3)Oscar_Muffin, No, city maps goooood. Open terrain maps bad!!!
Gaijin, PLEASE MAKE MORE BIG OPEN MAPS LIKE THIS! I played the map on the devserver and it felt amazing. The engagement ranges are not tiny anymore and it feels like what maps should be. I would want a map like this every patch!
We on Mars bois
