Hey at least we got a NEW map, so it's not perfect, name a AH map that is ?

Seems no matter who takes the time to create a map there's always a handfull of ungratefulls that can't wait to complain about something. Guess ya can't please everyone.

What strikes me funny is, being a GV'er we tend to like maps with numorus spawns and such and when we express our liking to this we are immediately reminded that this is a FLIGHT SIM and the game is about AIRPLANES and DOG FIGHTS:rolleyes: Yet so many whine about all the "furballs" Go figure!

I guess I should have included "thanks for the effort but..." I was simply saying that the positioning of the airbases seemed to cause furballs which many people do not partake in. Granted many people do partake and that's fine. But whether on purpose or not, ths map creates situations which will more likely create packed sectors. Those of us that try and avoid furballs are forced into taking the long way around to get to a base, something I never have to do on any other map. Or certainly not to this degree.

And please GV more, I love dropping bombs on you guys.

Just to make sure I understand what you are saying here...

You like to drop bombs. You like to fly to your target while avoiding contact. You don't like flying long distances around contacts in order to kills toolsheds.

Assuming I have not misunderstood you here...may I suggest offline mode?

You may suggest it.

My gripe is coming from the position of not wanting to furball. Something about the chaos and lack of point to the situation. I simply prefer smaller fights which I had a hard time finding on this map that didn't involve flying over two sectors to go shoot up some guy bombing a vbase. Every other map we have is fine. They are a mixed bag of what people like to do. I did not feel this map was that way.

Uh, have you noticed how not everybody flys on furball island and goes off and does other things? Yeah, I'm one of those radicals.

Nothing wrong with that. I'm not a big fan of blowin stuff up (unless its another plane) but I do like to find those 1v1 fights or at least 2v1. And I understand the point. With bases this close together its hard to find stragglers. People tend to be clumped up in large groups battling across a 2-3 base front. The other maps have some open space that allows you go to hunting. Neither way is bad, I rather enjoyed the change of pace this map offered.

This map is fantastic when server numbers are lower (about 150ish people) relativly small fights all over the place.

But once it gets crowded all the fights get crowded meaning huge furballs everywhere.

When a map has short distances between bases it really has to have a "long front" on each side. That way fights can spread out. If its short distances and short fonts its just one big furball when the numbers get high.

The front on this map really isnt that short but the front where the bases are close is short.

Also I have to agree I do enjoy some more alt variation is fun on maps. Mostly because it rewards people who know what plane opperates well at what level. Its funny to see people bring Russian planes to fight at 6k+ bases.
