[Coming Soon] New Location: African Canyon

African Canyon

Get ready for a challenge in the heart of wild, untamed nature. The new aviation map African Canyon is coming to War Thunder Mobile, reshaping everything you know about air combat. Inspired by the dramatic landscapes of the African rift valleys, this location features complex terrain that demands not only speed and firepower, but also precise, skillful piloting.

African Canyon is a land of striking contrasts. Sparse sandy valleys dotted with low shrubs and squat acacia trees sit beside labyrinths of jagged cliffs and deep gorges. In some canyons, a river winds along the bottom; in others, twisting roads snake through the terrain as enemy armored vehicles advance. The map is framed by the waters of an azure bay, adding a vivid splash of color to the horizon against the canyon’s reddish hues.

The key feature of this location is its multi-level terrain and dramatic elevation changes. It offers everything from gentle slopes to sheer cliffs that drop into deep gorges. This landscape is ideal for shaking off pursuers or, conversely, setting an ambush for an unwary enemy.

African Canyon is a paradise for fighter and attack pilots but a punishing environment for heavier aircraft or less experienced players. To make the most of this map, you will need to adapt and master new tactics.

Use the cliffs and canyons to your advantage. Drop sharply to shake a pursuer, or pull up along a slope to position yourself behind an enemy. Using rocky outcrops for cover and striking from behind a turn is a reliable way to catch opponents off guard.

The wide valleys conceal well-defended enemy bases, making them ideal targets for dive bombers. Pilots who prefer nap-of-the-earth flight will find no shortage of objectives, with small pillboxes and anti-aircraft positions that can be eliminated using cannon fire or light bombs. Navigate kilometers of winding gorges while tracking and destroying enemy armored columns. The mission demands precise flying and unwavering focus.

Be careful. The dense clusters of peaks and narrow gorges can quickly become a trap. A more agile opponent can lure you into a confined space with no room to turn or outmaneuver you in a dogfight, pushing you toward a cliff. Maintain awareness of your altitude and available maneuvering space, and plan your route several steps ahead.

African Canyon is a vibrant, complex, and tactically demanding location in War Thunder Mobile (WTM) that requires complete focus and strong piloting skills. Prepare your aircraft for takeoff – an unforgettable battle among the rocks and sands awaits.
