Airfield is a rather small map that caters to virtually ever type of tank in World of Tanks. This is because Airfield is essentially split in two and down the center of the map are defined engagement areas that slow down the pace of the fight in most matches. This can be both good and bad for your team since Airfield usually ends up favoring the team that gets the first good punch in since it can easily snowball due to the small map size. Since most of the fighting takes place in the 5 and 6 lines it makes grabbing these areas very important for fast light/medium tanks. Heavy tanks and tank destroyers sure up your team’s front line by diving into the fight or supporting from the rear defensive locations. Meanwhile artillery has some shots into areas to promote trying to push hard early on since defending is difficult with the amount of different flanking options on this map.
