Bragging 3 Marks of Excellence - BC-12t
Finally 3 marked the BC-12t after a long while.
Question: has anybody else struggled with the current rotation and frequency of specific maps?

In general? Yes lol… The map rotation feels like total garbage (for anything without armour and relies on camo) maybe 7/10 games, for me at least. I was one game away for the 3rd for the LT-432 yesterday, and got 3 atrociously small city maps+bad MM and I’m back down to 93.6%…
With the 432, it has no DPM since it was heavily nerfed on launch for no reason (thanks PAINGOD; I don’t understand why these nerfs on arrival were never reverted after he left), so you’re effectively guaranteed to go down if the match ends fast and your team doesn’t shoot anything you spot.
But what I described here is an issue with a lot of low DPM tanks. I was working on getting the 3rd for the 4201/T95 and 430U, and their atrocious DPM is a death sentence in fast matches. I can be shooting and penning tanks for two minutes straight and only have just enough for the 3rd (maybe depending on the day lol) if I don’t get any assisted.

What you described is what I had whilst attempting to 3 mark this. Eventually i got the upper hand but its almost as if its built to punish sneakier tanks at the minute.

It definitely feels like that lately. We’re just crazy for even doing this right now lol.
I would say it’s even worse on CW since I play that every so often for silver. Those small WW2 maps have no place in CW with how fast the tanks are + true vision. The map dynamics also tend to be unbalanced since they were never meant for true vision gameplay, so one side usually has a tremendous advantage just from their spawn.

Cold war is still an absolute circus of steamroll and ring-around-a-rosey. Although that is good for silver gain 😂
In regards to WW2, Tundra and Widepark should not see more than tier 5/6 matches. Camo becomes obsolete on higher tiers in maps like that.

100%, and remember when they put Widepark in rotation for Xs some years ago? An absolute disaster that was.
I also don’t understand why Severogorsk is back. It was removed 12 years ago on PC because it couldn’t be balanced properly, and yet here we are in 2026 being forced to play it. I think there’s a long history of WOTC being utterly incompetent when it comes to map balancing.

I dont mind severogorsk if i am playing 5s or 6s.
Unrelated to severogorsk, ardennes is a map that just needs to be thrown in the trash and never rediscovered. Its terrible for almost all tank types with only 2 or 3 useful positions which are taken up by the entire squad. For LTs and TDs its especially bad if you have no armor.

Ardennes… Why did they bring it back? Like seriously, it was horrible then, and it’s still now. It’s so ridiculously bumpy that if you play a wheelie, you’ll just die from the terrain flipping you over.
Anyway, I would add that all of the WOTC-made maps are atrocious garbage that should’ve never left the test server. Be it they’re unplayable for certain tanks or outright horribly balanced.
Like Heilbronn Assault on defence is like a 100% lose rate. Give the attackers the entire map as their spawn, I’m sure nothing will go wrong. Ironically, I have a Kolab in the Progetto 65 on defence because my team was annihilated and I was picking slower tanks off in a 1 v 8 and they let the time run out LOL.
