I like the big map  You can find just about everything here.  Furballs, GV fights, strat targets.
Always try and be the person your dog thinks you are.

There's got to be at least, what?....a dozen+ big and small maps? Bring back the Skuzzmeister's Wednesday morning reset and mix 'em up.

I miss his pretty Robins Egg Blue text color :cry

I do too..

I personally I prefer smaller fights.  Last night my squad had a battle that lasted for several hours involving about 15-20 planes total on both sides.  Several good fights with no pickers diving in to ruin the party.  

I am finding lots of small fights, but there are also some big furballs if you are into that.  

I think it creates a balance I haven't seen since I started playing a year ago.  Something for everyone.

The map is nice.. definitely a change of pace.. and that as far as "winning" the war, well thats what makes this map nice, don't have to worry about the hangar dweebs so much here cuz there is ALWAYS somewhere to fight.

I've been playing the Orange arena (where Bish have been outnumbered every night) since this map came up and haven't tired of it one bit.

Again, thank you HT.  Hope we get the Wednesday re-set and the other big maps back too.

One thing I'd still like to see on all maps though is breaks in the contiuous VB to VB spawns.  I think 3-4 connected bases at a time would be enough, then you would have to use air to jump to the next group.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

It was a lot of fun Scca.  I haven't killed so many tigers in a long time.  The 201st Thundereggs enjoyed the fight.

Hooray for Big Maps and plenty of fights.

I've had no lack of furballs, base defense, base assaults, bomber missions, bomber intercepts, carrier ops, and GV battles.  There is always something going on that you like.  ANd the good thign about this many bases and these large front lines.  3 Bombers can't shut down all the front line bases liek they can on small maps.

On this new map I found a low Ju88 goofing around the field. Naturally since I was in a B-25H, I chased that little sucker down and took pot shots with my 75mm since I was only 600 out. I finally used my 50 cals and shot his tail off :D

I'm considering leaving the game due to the big maps.

Too much real estate, not enough players.  

I'm sure I will be missed.

At the OP:
Who cares if the map is not reset? At least theres a good variety of good fights. Thats all that really matters :aok
