So far so good.

I know its not really part of 7.3, but any change of getting Province dropped to tiers 1-3 only?

The map makes for incredibly camp heavy battles the higher the tier.

I know where getting 2 french prems - but are there plans for any new LIGHT premium tanks in the works in the next patch (7.4)and beyond?

Yes, province map will be available only for sandbox mode of tiers 1 and 2.

No, prem lights will arrive later.

So If I'm reading that correctly - and I hope I am Province will shortly be for low tiers only!  

That makes me VERY happy.

[typhaon]

Yeah, especially since Province is my favourite map in my PzII

what the hell is "sandbox"  

[diadochi]

Shame, I don't mind Province, it's not my favourite, but its okay, now as for Komarin, I wish they would drop that map down a black hole, never to be seen again.

[EscapeArtist]

Damn, I like to play that map with my IS4. Mess these campers up.

what the hell is "sandbox"      i think its a box with sand in it, in this case he may mean randoms.

and +1 for forum whining still i wont miss it especially as i now play less games than maps on an evening

[NatteFrost]

damn it, i love to camp there in my t8+ tds.

[bruthor]

I always rushed to the other side to spot for the campers, especially in quick heavies like T1. Usually worked very well, and others would usually follow. I think the map would have less camping as people gradually learn alternative strategies

My face on screen just now.

I see the whiners won again.  

It is not a camping map.  It is an attacking map.  It's only the incredibly stupid player base that runs the wrong way and hides instead of taking to the far side of the valley and attacking.

Province is rubbish with low tiers, they just don't have the view range to defend the attack routes from the far side of the valley.

Oh well, 2 new maps coming for you all to turn into campfests.

[EscapeArtist]

Yes, people who complain about camping and have nothing else to do than camp are the ones who haven't chewed through the tactics you should use while playing this map. Most of them just go and hide somewhere and when they pop their head out, they'll get shot. Then they'll complain that the map sucks. Well, actually I also complained about the map when it first came out, but now I love it with my IS4. This maps need very decent skills with perfect timing. You'll also need to watch your teammates movements all the time to make your move in public games because there's no voicecom.

[Sgt_Diablo]

I kind of like province. Yes it most often is a camp fest without equals, but I think it is a fun little sidestep from all other maps.
It's kind of like pulling your tank into a shooting range, closest thing we have to a different game mode these dayshttp://forum.worldoftanks.eu/public/style_emoticons/default/Smile_veryhappy.gif

It only works as an attacking map for the first 2 minutes, if that.  

And what's the rest of your team doing while you 'attack'? - they are sniping, forcing the other team in cover = suddenly 13 members of one team are sniping, while 14 members of the other team just grabbed cover = and now everyone is camping.

Unless of course you manage to kill all 15 enemy tanks in the first 2 minutes of your 'attack', the game turns into a waiting game - anyone who moves after the counter hits 13:00 is going to take fire from 3 different locations.

9000+ games played. Some of my most boring games have been higher tiers on Province.

edit: lol, thanks for the -1, someones never played province in a slow tank!

No, my Lowe never gets Province.  

The only problem with having a slow tank is all the deadheads rushing to camp 3 tank lengths away who won't let people go down the hill first.

I got the map in my G1B 3x in a row.  I sold the tank after that, the combo was just too much.

[Homer_J]

Mind you, it's only Overlord saying it will get limited.  Will probably get to enjoy it for a while longer yet.

Lately he only gives replies like this if he is sure, so I wouldn't be surprised if it will be a quick fix.

BTW I think with sandbox they refer to the sandboxes at playgrounds where the little ones can play

[lorre11]

It saddens me to hear this, because in my jagpanzer IV, that map is usually like target practice as enemies get lit up quickly and you can snipe all over the place without being spotted yourself.

[Ironclad]

i so fucking love that map in my t110, t34, phanter, even in my fucking chaffee!
stupid crybabys
-.-

[Smiley_Magnus]

One week ago: «OMG this map sucks I hate it pls remove this crap!!11»
WG response: «Well, nope, but we will drop it to I-III tier only.»
Now: «OH NOES pls don't do that! I love so much this map!»
