Ognennaya Duga seems to be is an easter egg. Once upon a time there was a movie called “Освобождение” ([Osvobozhdenie] – Liberation) by Юрий Озеров (Yuriy Ozerov). It has 5(6) episodes and the first episode is called “Огненная дуга” ([Ognennaya Duga] – The Bulge of Fire). This episode is about battles near Kurks and Prokhorovka village.

the maps have only gotten better for tanks with good gun depressions. Fucking hills and ditches everywhere. Long range tanks can hardly play anymore. There’s always some object in the way. It’s become ridiculous.

The hill is much flatter and all the roads are much deeper and more pronounced which is great for ruski meds.

Nope, there is a common phrase for that too in Russian. I’m pretty sure that the problem is simple – the translation was done by someone who did not see the reference to the battle of Kursk.

I think “Ring of Fire” was probably more what they were going for

It should be “Circumvallation” or “Contravallation”, those are the terms for encirclements, the first is the defence line facing in and the second is the line facing out.

No mention of the aircraft everywhere? I really like the atmosphere they added into this map. The sounds of gun fire in the distance, hard to hear over tank engines, is a nice touch as well.

There are minor changes everywhere. The road in the west feels deeper and the hill in the NE (top right) of the map looks more accessible/appealing for support vehicles.
