Grand Battle
A thirty against thirty Tier X format on oversized maps, mixed into the random queue rather than run as its own mode.
Also known as grand battles.
Grand Battles use maps roughly four times the area of a standard one and double the team size. There are no respawns: it is a random battle at a larger scale, with two bases and a longer clock.
The scale changes the vehicles that work. Distances favour view range and gun handling over brawling armor, and a flank that collapses takes much longer to punish.
