Straight outta Supertest – new map “Kharkov”

Source: http://blogwotlirt.blogspot.ru/

Hello everyone,

yea, another leak. This is allegedly supposed to be the minimap of “Kharkov”, a map confirmed to actually come in 9.0.

Well… given the odd “blur” of the minimap (low resolution), I am not 100 percent convinced that this is legit, but it’s from the same source like the T23E3 and Grosstraktor leaks and yes, those were real. So… up to you to judge.

Edit: Confirmed to be legit.

  1. inb4 its from google maps…
    Well, until screenshots are provided we won’t know for certain.

    • This map is very interesting… I’ve just went to Google maps and used street view to check this potential map.

      I have only one comment: First real life map in WoT and it might be the most gamey and arcade map in the game. See for yourself.

      • It literally took me a second after typing “Kharkov” into Google Maps to find where this place is based off.

  2. Well another RUSSIAN map. Why doesnt WG put in maybe Krakow or some city map thats an entire city without some more winter map BS. Of course since the devs are Russian they are only making Russian wiinter maps. THIS is BS

        • This is Belarussian game, not polish, I don’t understand your whine about russian themed maps. Even more, I don’t understand why there should be polish maps in particular, there are more beautiful places of which they could make maps.

          Unless of course… you’re just another ignorant and blind polish nationalist.

          • i dont want to fight in beautiful places … lol. want to feel the war climat, want to fight where ww2 battles took place.

          • And it’s cheaper to make historical map of place near which you live and work. Kharkov is closer to them than Krakow (strange similarity in names)

          • >I don’t understand why there should be polish maps in particular
            If you had passed elementary school you would know that most of the world considers German invasion of Poland as the start of World War 2. You know, that big event that the game is based around. Pew, pew, tanks shooting, etc. Rings any bells?
            But yeah, IIRC WG’s beloved USSR was one of the aggressors, so I can see why they are so reluctant to include any Poland-related map. If we are lucky we will have some “glorious Red Army, blessed with Stalin’s tears, brings freedom from nazis to Europe” map.

            • We are not at the second grade level. We understand that that almost no tank vs tank action happened in Poland during the invasion of Poland. The polish hardly had any tanks. What tank combat did happen is when the USSR began the one of the largest counter offensives(1943-1945) known to man, taking back Poland in its glorious path of Nazi destruction.
              PS: And since 85% of German casualties were on the eastern front… “glorious Red Army brings freedom from nazis to Europe” is correct.

                • Heh .. Yes it would have been very fascinating to see what would have happened if the soviets had lost and general plan most would have played out as the Nazis intended and turned the population of their occupied territories into fertilizer. For all intents and purposes the soviets were liberators …choke on it.

                • “3 million of poles were killed by Hitler regime. How many were killed under communists?”
                  for example:
                  around 60’000 civilians + 15’000 prisoners of war (soldiers, policemen) killed (i.e in Katyn!) or died (mostly in Siberia work camps) in 39-41 period.
                  around 60’000 in 1944 to 1956 period.
                  at least few hundred after 1956
                  cant quickly find other data for now but in general, numbers 300’000-400’000 from 1939 to 1989 are mentioned

                • But check histori about Smoleńsk where Stalin killed houndreds of tousnds polish Soldiers How many people Stalin sand to syberia and how many peoples died there he was so bad for Poland as Hitler but he was also bad for his own country he killed milions of Russians milions of Ukraine milions of German civillians in for example Berlin he killed German scintist when Americans during operation paper clip transported them and gave them job in USA he let nazis destroy the warrsow during warsow uprising he stoped his army for nearly 4 mounths when polish insurgents where figthing for they life with German army yes he was so bad for polish people like hitler and check how many people killed Stalin and Hitler (I can’t wait stalin killed about three times more then Hitler)

                • again karn you cannot be a liberator when you intend to replace the original occupant….the soviets saved many lives to destroy many others….let me just say one word if you have any doubts about Stalin’s good intentions: Holodomor

                • I like how at the mention of how the Red Army took the brunt of the Nazi forces and how they lost more lives than anybody else. And then some asshole likes to bring up Stalin. You use that name as a pathetic excuse. 85% Just remember that number. While the US and all its other close allies could only manage 15%.

              • Oh yeah you mean the same Red Army that COOPERATED with Germans in conquering Poland in the first place? The same Red Army that attacked Finland for no reason? The same Red Army that committed rape en mass? In fact Stalin and therefore his Red Army would have attacked the Europe eventually…..The only reason he didnt was that Hitler was ready sooner than Red Army after having its officer cadre gutted by purges. And last but not least dont forget there wasnt just one front in WWII….Allied bomber raids on Germany itself, the Pacific theater was just as important as the Eastern front etc.
                So no Red Army beat back the Nazi occupation just to bring its own totality.
                Dont get me wrong Red Army has its fair share of credit on the outcome of WWII and it had a lot of brilliant soldiers but an army is always just an extension of the political regime it serves and in case of Red Army that political regime was rotten to the core and even before the war was won this regime was planning on using this army to conquer Europe. This is the same reason America could never win the Korean and Vietnam wars…..the regime didnt have the will to win them although the army was more than capable of winning it.

    • Then make your own game with the city of your choosing .. And do point out on the doll where the Russians touched you…

      • Exactly the same reason that we have non wartorn maps based in the USA as well as Asian maps. Like I said ….want to chose the setting for a map make your own game.

    • Come to think of it, I really think it is something for WG to have forgotten that they actually already based ruinberg on kharkov and that they are now basically making the same map again without knowing it :D

      • Ruinberg based on kharkov ? Ruinberg has german architecture. There’s no way it’s based on a russian city. Compare it to Ensk, which is a very liberal interpretation of Minsk, both maps have greatly different buildings while Himmelsdorf and erlenberg have exactly the same buildings used.

        Another thing is the street layout which is common for many big European cities.

  3. God I hope they start making bigger maps because I’m quite tired of claustrophobic ones.

  4. It seems like a terribly small map … I hate small maps because they are unplayable on high tiers …

  5. Looking at the map I got a feeling that every match that takes place on this map will have it’s fights starting in the first minute of the match.

  6. Looks too small and really like a snowy version of Ruinberg….so far doesn’t look really special beside it’s city map..

  7. Type in Kharkov in google maps and look for Freedom Square its 100% similar to the one from the game

    Edit: Type this in Google Maps
    Freedom Square, Kharkov, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine

  8. Any city map is highly approved by me. I’m sick of getting killed by bushes on Campinovkas and their brothers or those retarded mountain maps which take forever to drive through.

  9. This map looks like an upgraded version of Ruinburg like others said. But in Ruinburg you can only take the major streets, this one looks like you can actually drive between the buildings. Like you could actually drive to E6 or F5

  10. Although looks like ruinberg rotated/mirrored and the field looks a little smaller compared to ruinberg, I think this map is interesting.

  11. Arty players gonna love all these new city maps :)

    If WG cannot make few maps deselectable for playing, then they definetly could simply turn off arties in city maps at all!

    • The city maps are the best for arty I think!. I’ve had some of my best arty matches on Ruinberg and Ensk.

  12. One base on Lenin ave, and another one on Passionari descent. MT to Danilevskogo, heavies to Gosprom.
    Arty hiding on Klochkovskaya.
    OMG!!! it’s my home city.
