New key damage shots and major direction changes. We suggest you find out what will be changed on the map, so that later you can better navigate how to play.

Greetings, tankers! With you Wotpack and the next map on the supertest with new edits in World of Tanks. The developers actively tackled the rebalancing of old maps, trying to balance the odds of winning on both sides.
At the bottom of the page you can find information on all the changes on the old maps and on those that will be released in 2020.
Look at the updated map “Empire’s border”:
The first stage is planned reduce map corridor, improve communication between directions and add variability to maneuvers. Also the developers are going eliminate imbalance, as the top base has a winning percentage advantage.
Zone 1
Space for maneuvers added to medium and light tanks, now will be where to roam. Here the developers are definitely great, because earlier this direction was very boring to play, it did not enjoy much popularity.

Personally, I like the changes on this map, it needed a rebalance for a long time…
Not everyone liked her, but if all of the above will be brought to life, then she can definitely be removed from the black list (some people just don’t like her so much that they banned her).
