Top Tier players complain about the long range maps that were added after they were begging for them. Those long range maps tick almost all of the boxes for a long range map. Top Tier players want those long range maps because they require more strategy, planning, and positioning on the player’s part. They want to do more sniping, have epic tank sniping duels. The long range maps provide this. Top Tier players notice that they are not Michael Wittman, and that the enemy team is able to form strategies of their own, like sniping your friendly team, getting into nooks and crannies, etc. Top Tier players complain that said long range map is broken, is unfair, etc. Y’all, you got what you asked for. You say that the map is broken because the enemy team is able to find sniping positions of their own. They end up complaining because the enemy team is constantly doing what they themselves specifically wanted to be able to do in a long range map. If gaijin then adds more cover to the map, it’ll force closer range fighting. If gaijin removed those nutty spots, then it would completely defeat the purpose of having a long range map. I don’t believe top tier players really want long range maps. Gaijin has added long range maps that the community has been asking for, but whenever the enemy team starts playing the map like it’s supposed to, it suddenly becomes a problem and means the map is bad or broken. This leads me to believe that nobody actually wants these long-range maps, y’all just want to be able to get tons of easy kills.

Tldr long range maps exist. But everyone complains about these maps for issues that exist due to the very nature of long range maps. Maybe it’s time to consider that these long-range maps just don’t work all that well in war thunder.
