“One massive corridor with snipers”… lol epic.

With people being too idiotic to get (no matter whether they start north or south or what tier they are playing ) how to play this map to begin with, tampering with the features of this map isn’t going to improve anything… it is merely rewarding thos too stupid to play it.

Dumbing down the game doesn’t cut the custard.

The snipernest controlls the whole map and the northwest has giant rocks which give no protection from the snipers nest or middle while still functioning like a giant single stale mate inducing corridor and impressive feat. A designer couldn’t have planned it to be worse.

The South East is not better in any way having single corridor fight over the sniper nest and both spawns are uphill battles. Which is just handy dandy for all those who love to camp spawn locations.

The matches on Prokhorovka take longer than average on higher tier because of the bullshit of exchanging scouts till one is left and then one scout rushes forward to spot the sniper nest which often means exposing itself to fire without being able to take effective cover along the way, just dodging enemy shells while spotting the camping scum. Scouts spotting scouts so that they can scout an enemy sniper nest makes the games extremely linear despite being open maps. It’s like one massive corridor with ”snipers”.

Still I feel like the map is very chaotic and most teams focus mostly on fighting in the forest even if most of their team is mediums. It isn’t helped by the fact that the west is very unfriendly for tanks with bad gundepression making mediums prefer the forest just because they don’t have to worry about random bumps in terrain. Still most good mediums go west, thankfully. The forest however is often lost while nobody is in the A-1 section of the map because A-1 is useless at influencing the west battle due to being lower ground. Meaning that tanks west have a harder time the guard against an assault on the cap-circle than tanks in the forest have guarding either cap circle. The importance of the forest on this map when used properly is still exceedingly high if a tank is in the forest or in one of the east area’s near the forest they can guard the cap without taking damage far more easily than a tank can from the west of the map especially if the defending tank has bad gundepression.

The map did ”improve”, but the east is still a ugly clusterfuck while the west corridor still functions almost the same with a linear imminent stale-mate type fight. The middle is still neglected. Paper starting south TD’s still camp the bases because of the map design leaving little place for them to assist the east while the north TD’s have not a much better time controlling the east and have no way of supporting the west unlike the south.

The map has too many sealed off sections and the clusterfuck east doesn’t actually improve flanking options all that much due to simply being 2 stalemate corridors with a connection to the middle of the map. The only sniping positions are near the spawns which makes for very passive TD play. The west part is simply heavily armoured TD’s and heavies derping each other in the face till they gain a number advantage without any real means of ending a stale-mate forming there. The clusterfuck north isn’t much better but instead of 1 corridor there’s 2. The middle is complete chaos where mediums generally fight over who gets the use the central entrance to flank heavies using the east corridors. The river manages to lure heavies to their deaths as they drive straight into the fire line of the only TD nests in the map while being open to flanking from the river sides thanks to how deep the river is. It just depends which flank falls first. The South has it’s TD nest generally in west while the North has it generally in the east which makes the ridge more important for the south team while the clusterfuck east is important to the north team.

It’s just a terrible map. Most flanking options are fake and after the corridors you end up in a TD sniping range on both sides of the map.
