Maybe the developers chose to stop releasing obvious china themed maps to the rest of the world. I’ve started to wonder about all the Chinese maps in circulation lately. Any of the old maps would fit in on any CW map, but here are a bunch of new maps with Chinese buildings. They don’t fit anywere but the far east, so will likely never be seen on the Americas, European or northern Asia CW rotations.
Now I understand why. The Chinese partners want more Asian maps, so those maps are developed and published. Maps that would also fit well in random battle rotations are borrowed for use on the other servers. I’m not complaining, as I always like new maps. It just didn’t make sense before now why they were concentrating on Asian maps that would never be used in CW.

It is not KV-1S spam, but not much better.
Right now it is usually IS-3 and AMX 50 100 spam with some tier 1 scouts.
Sometimes some American played when the map favors gun depression but that is about it.
WoT as an eSport is most like a joke in terms of variety and balance.

No.
I doubt the Chinese gov has anything to do with the game.
If they have anything to do with the Chinese tree, the 113 wouldn’t be among the worst performing tier 10 heavy right now.
The Type 59 remain on sale because the company that runs WoT in China are a bunch of “Capitalist Bastards” as they should be.

Cause what the Chinese government wants, they get. If they want one of their star tanks (also the tank in the infamous Tank Man footage) to be available for their players, then it will be. Otherwise, China will not allow them to do business in their country, that’s just how it works. There was even the theory that the reason the release of the Chinese tree was delayed was b/c of Chinese govt. pressure to make the tanks better, but ofc, absolutely no proof of that exists or ever will, so it will simply remain a theory.

Didn’t the Chinese server launch after the Type 59 was pulled from sale? Why in the world didn’t they give them some other premium?

- first, there is a new map being introduced in Chine, called “Empire’s Border”, you might remember some screenies being leaked a while ago, it’s basically a Great Wall map. Is it China-exclusive? No idea.

Anyone know what happened to this map? We saw screenshots of the completed map awhile ago and now nothing, was it imbalanced or something? By contrast they released screenshots of the new map “Tundra” and its already being released in the next update.
