South Shore: A Tactical Review. Map South Shore WOT Tactics Positions on the map South Shore

This Map South coast world of tanks came out after update 0.7.3. The map is a composite image of the southern part of Crimea (so it seems to me, at least). The size of the map is 1000 by 1000 meters, the level of battles is from 4 to 11. By itself, it is very picturesque and there is something to admire on it: a beautiful sunset, a magnificent palace with a park, ancient ruins ... In short, everything you need for a quality vacation.

In tactical terms, the map is very interesting. It is an intricate labyrinth of narrow passages between mountains and ravines. There are also city buildings here, but the terrain there is very hilly and standing around the corner of the house and feeling safe, do not be surprised when God knows where you fly from.

There is no main direction of attack on this map. Yes, you can go the shortest way (by the way, it is probably the safest). This is line 8 for both one and the other team. True, it will be difficult to get there: both from first base and from second, it is a long way to go there and you can easily get lost in these descents and ascents.

Approximate positions of all types of equipment

1) Position (Priority) - the center of the map, allows you to highlight the city and the alley (light and medium tanks). Also quickly get to enemy art and Fri.

2) Position - alley, often used to rush the opponent. Defite before the approach of the allies and attack (strands and fri).

Use uneven terrain to hide.

Fri-Sau positions: G6, H0, C0, D7, A3;

Do not rush to attack, watch the enemy. Hit on weak points on the defensive.

Harmful positions: lovers of the gut, so long. Pass along 2-3 lines to the enemy base.

There they are met by strands and Fri, slowing down even more. And at this time, the base is attacked and everyone is quickly killed.

Tactics on the map south coast in world of tanks

Let's talk a little about tactics. Often CTs try to get into the enemy base through the flanks - along the 0 line and along the beach. And very often they succeed. Strands are trying to break through the center. In principle, it is possible to go to the city, but there is little sense in this, since the two mountains in the center of the map provide an excellent overview. You can hide only under the opposite mountain. In general, the map will be of interest to PT-waters and heavyweight players. Although there is also a job for ST and art here. The task of the ST, first of all on this map, is to kill the artillery.

So, a little about the location of the tanks and where to go.

Absolutely any path is open for you, but the approaches to the bases are complicated and you can often be stopped or even punished.

The main positions of medium tanks are the flanks, and the city with a gorge is no exception; the main thing is to act clearly and accurately.

Usually strands attack through the city, but you can also go along the coast, well, or in the gorge, but obviously not for everyone.

Rocky ledges are excellent positions for fri, with shelters in the form of large stones. From there you can shoot half the map.

The self-propelled guns will be quite nice to be located at the base and shoot from here at the enemies. Just think, and you are safe, and the art is counting on you.

This is not so difficult, given that she is practically powerless here - hills, mountains and buildings make her work extremely difficult. Therefore, for the ST, take out the art of spitting. In some ways, the map reminds me of a mixture (two sniper positions in the center) and (a town on the coast). Accordingly, tactics are chosen that are most suitable for these cards. Basically, all fights take place in squares E8 and E5.

This is where the opponents meet. The second team is better, of course, to defend. The very terrain on their spawn dictates the following conditions: they are closer to the hill than the first team, and therefore they occupy positions first. When the first team begins to take their places for defense, the splashes from the enemy are flying at full speed. So for an attack from the first respawn, it is better to choose the right flank. So more reliable.

Good luck to everyone in the world of tanks on the battlefields of the South Shore.

Key points of the South Bank.

Lately, I've been writing all about rare tanks. But all this time I wanted some nostalgic material. Recall what was once in the game. What the players liked or what made their chairs “burn”. And then I remembered! We also have more than a dozen cards that were introduced into the game at one time, and then withdrawn for one reason or another. In general, in this material we recall the locations removed from the game. Well, for those who can't remember it, because they simply didn't play at that time - a small digression into the history of the game.

pearl river

To be precise, we have 12 cards that have left " World of Tanks". The first card in our memories will be " pearl river". Remember that layered Asian setting?

The map was introduced in update 8.5 (April 18, 2013). It was possible to move around in a circle. There was a huge hill in the center, which could not be driven up. In one of the subsequent updates, not very soon after the release of the map, they made corridor drives along this hill. In fact, the entire map was 90 percent of the corridors. There was a small plain in the center, along the riverbed. But few people played there, and usually only light tanks flew there. Heavy tanks and self-propelled guns went to the upper right corner to "butt" in the gorge. Medium tanks went into the mountains on the left side of the map. Playing on the ART SPG here was not very comfortable - after all, this landscape, which was multi-level ...

In Update 9.10 (September 1, 2015), the map was removed from the game. " pearl river” liked a very rare player and therefore her conclusion was greeted with joy.

Komarin

My favorite " Nightmare", well, or as it was officially called" Komarin". He got such a nickname due to the fact that the atmosphere here was somehow gloomy, and the game here was boring.

This map was introduced in a very distant update under the number 0.5.5.1 (October 6, 2010). An ordinary Russian village, which is located on the banks of a small river. The area is swampy. There are many memories with this card. So, for example, here, when the map was released, the sound of a barking dog was turned on during a collision with a doghouse. And even more laughable was the fact that players sometimes got confused in the bases. Respawns were on one side, and bases on the other. The player came to capture the base, but the capture did not go! It turned out that the player was trying to capture the allied base.

In Update 6.4 (May 11, 2011) " Komarin» has undergone the first changes. In the center of the map, on the so-called island, buildings were added and the number of bushes was reduced. In Update 7.4 (June 14, 2012), the map was completely removed from random battles and left only in the training room and in company battles. A little more than a year later, in update 8.8 (September 10, 2013), my favorite " Komarin' in a slightly modified form. My joy knew no bounds! In Update 9.2 (July 29, 2014), new changes were made to the map. In 9.4 (November 4, 2014) more edits. And so, in update 9.8 (May 26, 2015), the map finally left our game. Looking at the number of changes on the map, you can understand that it was useless to redo it and change something on it. But no matter how uncomfortable Nightmare- I liked it for its atmosphere. I will never forget this card.

Overlord

Devil spawn called " Overlord". The map was inspired by the Allied landings in Normandy in 1944.

The map is supposedly historical and very beautiful, but completely unplayable and unbalanced. In most cases, the team from the top respawn won. " Overlord was introduced to the game in Update 9.7 (April 22, 2015) and removed from the game less than a year later. Somewhere in late 2015 - early 2016. In February 2016 " Wargaming even launched a vote on which map is the worst in the game. This card turned out to be our " Overlord". It was very bombing when I got on this card and was incredibly happy when I found out about the withdrawal of this card.

Port

The son of a port ship ... Ahem! Game location " Port» with many railway tracks and an industrial area. Train tracks here VERY many.

« Port was introduced to the game in Update 7.5 (July 26, 2012). By the way, Tier X MTs were introduced in the same update. The map was a busy industrial zone with some kind of gatehouses, warehouses, pipes. highlight " Porta”considered numerous railway tracks, of which there are a lot. Among the cars, one could even lose orientation in space. A year and a half later, the map was removed from the game in update 8.11 (February 11, 2014).
On the map you could see the logos " World of Warplanes", because when the card appeared in the game -" aircraft were preparing for release. And once the card returned to the game, but in a redesigned form for the game event " tank racing which took place in autumn 2014.

Provinces

In Update 7.2 (March 29, 2012) in " World of Tanks” a small 600 x 600 map was added called “ Provinces". High-level vehicles shone each other almost from respawn.

« Provinces"reminds" Mittengrad". Two slopes where vehicles spawn. Soon the developers realized that it was impossible to play like this, and in update 7.4 (June 14, 2012) the map became available only for vehicles up to Level III inclusive. In Update 9.10 (September 1, 2015), the map was removed from the game. I really don't understand why they took her out. It was fun to play low-level tanks there. " Mittengrad"Still, I don't like it as much as I liked it" Provinces”, which was recreated based on the war in Italy 1943-1945. #SourReturnProvince

Ruinberg on fire

Same " Ruinberg", but on fire. Oh yes, there was also the effect of some kind of rain, but it was only on maximum settings charts.

« Ruinberg on fire” appeared in our game with update 8.11 (February 11, 2014). At the same time, by the way, a winter version appeared. Himmelsdorf". And if " Winter Himmelsdorf" is still in the game, then here " Ruinberg on fire left the game in Update 9.5 (December 22, 2014). I absolutely do not understand why duplicate cards are needed, but with different effects. Can you explain? I look forward to your explanations in the comments.

Northwest

Early autumn in the mountains of the North American region. It was very beautiful and atmospheric.

In Update 8.9 (October 29, 2013), the map " Northwest”appeared in the open spaces of random battles. She was very beautiful, but difficult in terms of gameplay from the bottom right corner. Update 8.11 (February 11, 2014) fixed this issue by adding a new direction. I liked playing here after its change, but in 9.7 (April 22, 2015) the map was removed from random battles, and in update 9.8 (May 26, 2015) it was completely removed from the game client. The map didn't seem to be too bad. Well, corridor ... We had a corridor on many maps at that time.

Severogorsk

A small Soviet town, which was somehow industrial and had the name Severogorsk.

« Severogorsk” was introduced in the game with update 8.7 (July 23, 2013). The map immediately attracted attention by the fact that in one of the garages there was a " Sturmtiger and it was visible through the open gates. There was very little playable space on the map - most of the free space was occupied by mountains. In one of some updates, they tried to fix it, but it did not work out. In Update 9.5 (December 22, 2014)" Severogorsk has left us.

hidden village

At the end of 2013 Wargaming tried to cater to the Asian market and introduced a bunch of Asian content into the game. Map « hidden village” was drawn in some haste and added to the game.

This appeared hidden village in Update 8.10 (December 20, 2013). It was all Japanese-style with cherry blossoms. But it was absolutely unplayable, in my opinion. Two corridors and a hilly wasteland along the river. There were three directions here, and on two of them there was standing. In game version 9.2 (July 29, 2014), attempts were made to make some changes. But they were not successful. Patch 9.10 (September 1, 2015) finally got rid of the map.

Stalingrad

The real quarter of Stalingrad, now Volgograd. Especially for this map, many new unique buildings and houses were created. And also here for the first time trenches were used, which reduced the speed of the tank.

« Stalingrad was added to the game with Update 9.4 (November 4, 2014). And if " Overlord”, a map taken from the real area - was very unsuccessful, then with “ Stalingrad"It was all right. Most of the players Stalingrad» liked. But those who did not like it stubbornly cried on the official forum of the game. As a result, in the fall of 2015, the map was taken out of the game. But they promised to somehow fix it and return it back. I hope that someday we will still be able to fight again on the streets of virtual Stalingrad.

Dragon spine

When an old player hears the phrase " Dragon spine' he panics. He begins to shake, he is lost in space. It darkens in the eyes. There is a feeling of nausea. " Dragon spine It's better not to remember. This is a card for excruciating torture.

In Update 7.3 (May 3, 2012) in " World of Tanks» a map appeared with the name « Dragon spine". A map whose real playing space occupied 10 percent of the total area. This map was with such a difference in heights that tank owners Mouse and the likes of them simply closed the game if they got this card. You could play this map as much as you wanted, but you would never remember where you had to turn to go where you need to. I described everything so intricately, in fact, as the map itself was. As early as Update 7.4 (June 14, 2012), the map was removed from Random Battles for processing. Came back" Dragon spine'only in 8.1 (October 25, 2012). The map did not stay in the game for very long, and already in update 8.4 (February 28, 2013) it was again sent for rework. They did something with her there for a long time, but decided that it was better not to do it. In Update 9.6 (February 10, 2015), all map files " Dragon spine have been permanently removed from the game.

South coast

Like Crimea, but only " South coast". The map is dedicated to the battles for the Crimea in 1942.

Update 7.5 (July 26, 2012) added the " South coast”, which has a Crimea networking. The card even on the supertest was called " Crimea". A small resort town on the seashore, where virtual tank battles unfolded. Once the card was taken out of the game for processing and returned. But for some reason, she never took root in the game. In 2015, it was decided to finally remove the card from the game. I personally did not like the atmosphere that reigned on the map. But it was nice to play here.

So we remembered all those 12 cards that left our game. Some of them we loved, some we hated. Each player has his own opinion about each card. I would like to hear your opinion about any map. Share in the comments what you remember from these 12 cards. It will be interesting to read the many opinions. I've already expressed my opinion.

This Map South coast of world of tanks was released after update 0.7.3. The map is a composite image of the southern part of Crimea (so it seems to me, at least). The size of the map is 1000 by 1000 meters, the level of battles is from 4 to 11. By itself, it is very picturesque and there is something to admire on it: a beautiful sunset, a magnificent palace with a park, ancient ruins ... In short, everything you need for a quality vacation.
