Having only flown this new map for a few hours, I have to admit, I am really impressed.
Though there is a huge concentration of numbers in the center island, I've not had any trouble finding the kind of medium furballs I enjoy.
I took an F6F up to 15K last night and flew a sector patrol east of 110. I had a great time winging with 2 squadmates, and picking off bomb laden Bish as the came east to attack 133 (I think).
Another interesting point is the colors of the map. I actually lost sight of a Spit as he dove toward a mountain and virtually disappeared due to his camouflage.
Another point is the 10k base in the far east of knightland. It's a nice jump off point for bomber missions, and the wy the war was going last night, it would have beena short 2-3 sector trip to bomb the nearest Bish base.
All in all, no complaints, altough it would be a little better if some of the pile-its who concentrate in the center spread out and provide more targets.
Out of a possible 10, I would give this map a 9 (preliminary rating as I've only logged a few hours)
and thanks Fester.
