WoT NA Premium Shop: Soviet Fury (Sherman Loza)

WoT Supertest: New map “Airline”

Yet again a new addition to the WoT Supertest. The name of the map is ‘Airline”, even though directly translated it means ‘Straight line“.  This one looks rather good and reminds me of Pearl River, what do you think?
