It will be available both in Random Battles (tiers VI–XI) and in the “Stories” mode (7th scenario). Nordskar is connected to the lore of Personal Missions 3.0 and the “Boiling Point” operation (Stories).
• Technical name: 120_graf_zeppelin (previously Air Harbor)
• Battle modes: Standard Battle and Stories mode
• Size: 1100 x 1100 (for Random Battles)
• Map type: Summer
• Setting: Secret rocket base in the Norwegian Sea (Norway)
For the “Stories” mode, the map is slightly larger (1100 x 1200) due to an extended coastline and a closed passage to the rocket (right flank), as well as a dedicated island in the middle. Overall, however, it is the same map as in Random Battles.
Description
A remote island in the Norwegian Sea, where a strategic rocket base lies hidden among steep mountains and green valleys. Nordskar is concealed from prying eyes by thick fog, while strong northern winds sweep over the still unhealed scars of fierce battles.
Development History
The map first appeared on Supertest at the end of December 2020 under the name Graf Zeppelin. Later it turned out that the location was created for the large-scale event Recon Mission 2021. At that time the map received its official name Air Harbor.
After further refinement, the location returned in Recon Mission 2022 and then fell silent. The community began to expect the release of the winning maps from Recon Mission 2022 (Aquila and Enikeevka), but years passed with no sign of them.
In September 2024 the map reappeared on Supertest, this time with its setting changed from winter to summer and heavily reworked. After several more iterations on ST, the former Air Harbor finally made it into release under a completely new name Nordskar in WoT 2.0.

Bottom line here:
Steel Hunter went doon-the-pan
so they brought out one new map and a couple of modes no-one will play
…and a new UI…
I think it looks interesting. The game needs XI. Finally tier X gets a purpose. New personal missions looks fantastic as well and mm-changes seems solid etc.
I’m positive to most things I seen so far.
Wow! 5 years to build one map. The devs are clearly hard at work!
Where do you get 5 years from? Last map came 2023.
Also, isn’t like 10 maps on ST now heavily reworked? If they pass it will be like 10 new maps for us.
They started designing this map in 2020. Pay attention! And Cobra Cai is spelled Cobra Kai!
