Similar to “Klondike,” another unique map from the Grand Battle mode 🇩🇪 “Nebelburg” will be reworked and returned to the game, but this time in the Standard Battle format (possibly also added to “Onslaught”). The appearance of a second map from Grand Battles essentially means that we will likely never see “Grand Battle” again.
The “Nebelburg” map has been reduced in size from 1400×1400 to 1100×1100 and reworked.
Changes to the map were first released on September 11, 2025, and were tested over the course of about a month across four iterations. There was also a separate version (212_epic_random_valley_a), but it differed little from the main version.
Release is expected this year.
• Technical Name: 212_epic_random_valley
• Battle Mode: Standard Battle only
• Size: Reduced to 1100×1100
• Map Type: Summer
• Setting: German fortress at the end of World War II
A flyover of the final version (+ change history) and the minimap (in the 1st comment) are available below:
I like huge maps, thank you wargaming.
me too. Platoon ?
You do understand that they reduced the size of the map for standard battles, right?
How many “new” maps have been announced in recent years, and how many of them have actually made it into the game? I’m starting to doubt it…
They should just rename Kharkov etc and bring ’em back
No thank you, it was a shit press the W key mass corridor map for HTs and the like fuck every other class.
.. besides its now today where tens thousands of Ukraine and Russians solders and civilians are getting killed
Kharkov was the best map in WoT by a looooooong stretch. This map required you to plan actions, switch fronts, anticipate and react to movements. It offered defensive and offensive playstiles. It separated mindless the w-pushers fron the strategists.
You’re clearly narrow-minded if you don’t realise this. And also… Charly Hebdo died long ago and Paris was reintroduced. This excuse is no longer applicable. And fuck your moral high-ground honestly. For someone to name themselves “John Stalin” in an online forum, while Joseph Stalin being the single most brutal murderer of Russians, and praising some bullshit about humanitarian rights, missing the point and all, you shouldn’t be allowed to voice anything at all. So fuck you dearly and have a Happy Easter moron. My two cents.
😂😂😂
This map seems to have at least one major flaw. When you look at the city area, you can see that the green spawn in the north has a very significant advantage. At 0:53 in the video, you can see three places where rubble piles block the roads. These give the green team strong hull-down positions from which they can essentially shut down any advance by the red team.
On top of that, they can reach those positions without taking fire, which means they can secure the corner faster and effectively control three attack lanes. The red team in the south only has two lanes, and one of those is already heavily restricted by enemies firing from behind the rubble piles. Simply removing the rubble piles would already help a lot.
The other side of the map may also have some issues, mainly because it feels too open. Crossing or pushing there would likely be very difficult, which could turn that side of the map into a standstill. As a result, matches may end up being decided almost entirely by who controls the city.
Overall, this is a great addition to the game, and the designers did a good job. If just a few things are tweaked, it could become a really great map.
