Fester,
You were kind enough to ask me on the text buffer last night what I thought of your revised map. I was unable to comment at length at the time, so I'll comment here.
Nice job. At first, I thought I was going to have to sit the week out in the CT, but there was nothing much happening there. In the MA, I got sucked into various furballs in my 109G2. It wasn't my scene. The 109Gx is not a turnfighter or furballer and I shall hold that point of view until I see the film that proves otherwise. The opposition was made up almost entirely of the P51/N1K/LA7 subset, with a few oddments...
But the outer edges of the map provide the field spacing that an e-fiting 109G needs. You fly the 109G10 sometimes, so I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say. With this plane, I like to use speed and surprise when I can.
The clouds are a nice job.
Hehe, I can think of one person who won't be happy, and I'm sure he won't be the only cloud whiner. But clouds were an important factor in WW2 aerial engagements. So was night for that matter! (I refer to aerial bombing) Hehe, I can tell you're used to USA clouds - scattered at 15K. A VFR pilot's dream. Those clouds typically occur at 3K-5K over England with its island climate.
So I had a reasonable session defending our CV - it was just the carrier with (I think) two other vessels.
Fester - thanks for listening to the nonfurballers.
I never whined about your map. I whined about the gameplay I saw on it. I know that can be a problem on any map, and no-one will disagree with me that we have a preponderance of suicide porkers and gangbang tardz amongst us. But I was able to find an area where I could escape from the gameplay I dislike the most, and find a scenario where I could efite with the 109, and strat around in planes like the F6F/F4U/P38L. And it's all here on the one map!
