Exactly my thoughts if you looking for WoT like planes (arcade with realism elements), there is nothing better then WoWp.

Yea, WoWp has only small comunity, if you compare to the WoT it is maybe “dead”, but that game is fun and there are (almost) no bugs or big problems with mechanics … The reason why people think it is shit is that – half of people played it in beta and found that it is not much fun (like me) and than said it is crap, others only heard that it is crap, so they also started to say that and now we have “dead” game. But the game is better than in beta (open/closed), and yes it is arecade, however it’s fun.

Aside from the question of another city map, I don’t much see the point of limiting maps to tier 8. Tier 6 seems like a better break point to me. By tier 8, it seems like tanks are starting to approach the level of capability of tier 10′s and I don’t see what’s gained by setting the limitation at tier 8.

I prefer open maps that more accurately depict real tank on tank combat. Yes, I know, WoT is an “arcade” game. But I still prefer that the maps present a more accurate depiction of tank warfare than is seen on city maps, regardless of how good they may be.

And if having to deal with arty is part of the cost of getting more open country maps, so be it.

I wouldn’t be so blunt, but I agree with the general sentiment that mediums actually aren’t necessarily useless on city maps. On the two new ones, Kharkov and Stalingrad, there are numerous ways to use mediums effectively. Lots of flanking opportunities. Himmelsdorf is a little more problematic. Sure, they’re good for the hill, though mostly because their speed lets them get up there faster than most heavy tanks. But overall, I don’t think that Himmelsdorf is a particularly medium tank friendly map. Oh, it’s not grossly unfriendly either. But its smaller size and its layout seems to generate more in-your-face skirmishes that favor heavy tanks. That said, if you get into a close late game situation with very few tanks on each side, that’s a great chance for mediums to use their speed on this map.

I agree. About the only real combat tanks would see in cities was as follows. Some troops might come up against a place that was too difficult for them to crack without a little localized artillery support, so they’d call for a tank to come in and blast the problem building with a few rounds. The enemy, seeing a tank in their neighborhood, would call for a tank or 2 of their own to come in and deal with the enemy tank. But overall, there was, to the best of my knowledge, any tank on tank battles in serious numbers.

That said, I don’t mind a few city maps for some variety. But there’s a vast difference between some variety and having it seem like the game’s being overrun with more and more city maps, even if I happen to think that they’re pretty good. The game needs more open country maps, particularly desert maps. The game could stand 2-3 more desert maps.

Oh you silly… I remember like that from even times of UT99 and CS 1.6. Fun maps where meant to be fun, and they were. CoD is so new in comparison to those games. While Quake players are mocking me for such new games in this comparison.
