'''Carpathians''' is a ground forces map available in all modes, it was added in Update 1.41.27.12 (a major patch between Update 1.41 and 1.43). The map is set in the Carpathian Mountain range, in Eastern Europe. The center of the map is an open field, with some natural depressions, and a trench system in the middle, to provide cover. There are a few rocky hills in the north-east, and south of the map and a main, larger hill in the west. There is a ruined castle on top the western hill providing a location for close quarters flights, and a good position to shoot down on players in the middle and east of the map.

The Carpathians is a mountain range stretching throughout Central Europe into Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Today the Carpathians is divided into three sections, Western (Czechoslovakia, Poland, Slovakia), Eastern (southeastern poland, eastern Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania), and Southern (Romania, Serbia). As a range passing through most of the Eastern Front, the Germans attempt to defend the Carpathian region via the passes while the Soviets attempt to break through the mountain ranges. This culminated to the Battle of Dukla Pass that lasted from September to October 1944. The battle ended indecisively with both sides suffering losses, but the Axis' dwindling manpower causes them to withdraw and the Soviets were able to continue and liberate Ukraine.

Voice messages about the "D point" were added exclusively for this map: at one point there was a version of the map where a D point would appear on the map during the game randomly as a "Supply Crate". Capturing the supply crate was an in-game action that greatly reduced enemy tickets and the D point disappeared afterwards. The map also included AI tanks that would attack alongside each team, killing the enemy AI command tank also gave a reward.

Overview

Carpathians is a ground forces map available in all modes, it was added in Update 1.41.27.12 (a major patch between Update 1.41 and 1.43). The map is set in the Carpathian Mountain range, in Eastern Europe. The center of the map is an open field, with some natural depressions, and a trench system in the middle, to provide cover. There are a few rocky hills in the north-east, and south of the map and a main, larger hill in the west. There is a ruined castle on top the western hill providing a location for close quarters flights, and a good position to shoot down on players in the middle and east of the map.

The tank battles map is 2 km x 2 km and the air battles map is 65 km x 65 km.

The map is named "avg_karpaty_passage" in the CDK.

Game Description

Two armies ran into a fight for possession of the mountain pass.

Historical Background

The Carpathians is a mountain range stretching throughout Central Europe into Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Today the Carpathians is divided into three sections, Western (Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia), Eastern (southeastern Poland, eastern Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania), and Southern (Romania, Serbia). As a range passing through most of the Eastern Front, the Germans attempt to defend the Carpathian region via the passes while the Soviets attempt to break through the mountain ranges. This culminated to the Battle of Dukla Pass that lasted from September to October 1944. The battle ended indecisively with both sides suffering losses, but the Axis' dwindling manpower causes them to withdraw and the Soviets were able to continue and liberate Ukraine.

The ruined castle on the map bears some resemblance to Spiš Castle in modern day Slovakia.

Trivia

Voice messages about the "D point" were added exclusively for this map: at one point there was a version of the map where a D point would appear on the map during the game randomly as a "Supply Crate". Capturing the supply crate was an in-game action that greatly reduced enemy tickets and the D point disappeared afterwards. The map also included AI tanks that would attack alongside each team, killing the enemy AI command tank also gave a reward.

In RB point A will be among the trenches in the centre of the map, B is between two hills in the east of the map, C is in the castle on the western hill. In SB the capture points are in the same place as in AB and RB, however each team has two spawn points, which are located further away from the capture points.

Conquest

There are three configurations of the conquest mode, each with one capture point. The point will either be at the north valley, middle hill, or south cliff.

In AB the capture point is in the castle on the western hill. In RB the capture point is in the castle on the western hill. In SB the capture point is in the castle on the western hill.

Battle

There are two capture points, each belonging to a team. The points are located north and south of the trench system in the middle of the map.

One flag will be on the castle on northwest hill that, when taken, will unlock a flag close to the original spawn point for the opposing team. The other flag will be in the fortified pit in the south east that, when taken, will unlock a point close to the original spawn point for the opposing team.
