It's very dangerous to form an opinion of a map, or any change in the game for that matter, until one has used it for a couple of weeks.  However, I am at a bit of a loss re understanding the philosophy of the "tank town" in the center.  I really can't see what tanks are supposed to do there.  There is no town.. just a lake to sink in.  There are no vehicle bases to capture (they are all uncapturable) and they are a long drive around the central lake.  And the single (in this evenings case enemy to me) airfield in the center leads me to believe this isn't really a tank "town" per se, but actually a bomb-griefer "town".  And that is what happened- a bunch of planes bombing tanks with the tanks having pretty much nothing to do except get bombed.  If the goal is to try to capture the central airfield the defenders in tanks can just sit with perk tanks on the rearm pads and pick enemy off at long range with impunity, while players in planes can bomb enemy tanks (also pretty much with impunity as there is no air cover present because there is only a single airfield).  It seems extremely asymmetrical.

Clearly I am missing something.  Can somebody instruct me on how this is supposed to work please?

Sorry 715,

I won't form an opinion about your post either, bro  :salute

It does seem that you have missed the point, though.  Some of us have been playing the same game for a decade.  Time to throw off those shackles and try something new. 

Isn't it awesome when something new is mixed with something old?  :rock

It's a neat new map!! I would only suggest another object in TT than a field and town , maybe an old strat of some type, even make it capturable if you want but it must be open more for GV play and it needs spawns into it!
as it is, it will set empty I imagine!   
 I do like the rest of it very much tho!
 we;ve needed some new maps for a while in my opinion, something to do besides roll the same old stuff over and over!

Thanks Fester!!! Thumbs UP!
