Not having the same maps up for weeks on end.Also not having the same map both the Late Wars.The maps that we have are good but Having say TankTown map up for two plus weeks it gets boring after time.If Skuzzy went back to the Wensday reset it would be more fun.

Were? Still are! They just need to be put back in the rotation.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

They need to do something with the maps. I log on, find two of the same boring maps in the arenas and log off. I'm not a good enough flyer to invest two sectors in flying to a fight to get shot down right away. If I only had to fly one sector to find a fight, I wouldn't mind being the easy kill.

i agree ,those were great maps and even the terrain tiles were beautiful .

so what that they were hard to reset ....they made great action and lots of good fights / cv battles .

At least one part of the map must be geared for allow the mindless tanks and furballers who engage in massive combat.  I.e. Tank Town or Fighter Town or what I like to call the Circle Jerk.

I am not so certain that an actual Tank Town is needed in a map, but maps do need to be reasonably GV friendly.

Multiple spawn points, within reasonable driving distances are important to the GV'ers. Remember we are only moving at 25mph.

This might be a little off topic, and controversial, but, I would like to see there not  be any level bombers at the small airfields. Limited runway space and lack of facilities, makes this realistic.

I can respect the guy that drops a bomb on my head from a F6F, (I don't like it), but the the guy in the Lancs formation sux.
