But why would they do it? (carriers)

[BaDkaRmA158Th]

Looking at the screen shots of the new ships, i started connecting the dots.

(other than they realy simply needed updating)
People have (for the past few years) begged for new maps.
A while back there were post's of a map being made, that showed pacific type ground detail, aswell as palm tree's

Im probably wrong, but i think we will get a new map to test these new cv's out in. Not to mention the p39 is mainly a PTO Aircraft.

*Hint*


Anyone else?

Considering the number of planes used by Soviets and the long timespan of it's usage, it's not unreasonable to say it's mainly an Eastern Front Aircraft

The CM Terrain Team makes terrains for the CM Team to use in special events. The CM Team creates events independent of what HTC is planning, so the CM Team will do PTO, ETO, MTO style events that need maps accordingly.

I still can't get over how big the front landing gear is on that plane. Considering it's a mid engine plane, I would have thought they would have done a rear tail gear vs a nose gear when designing that plane.

They did originally, but there were issues raising the tail on take-off so the rear mains were shifted and a training (nose) wheel was added early in the development process.

One of the biggest problems with the P39 and the PTO,was the limited range of the "Irondog".On the Eastern front the airfields were close to the front lines,and the combat altitudes were lower.

Mindnao used to have Palm trees.  I wish they'd bring Mindy back (with the Palm trees).

Well the P-39 was used in North Africa (tuskeegee Airmen) for a while and lots of them were well received by the Soviets under the lend lease program and the Soviet pilots loved em.  They weren't just used in the south pacific.

All the Best...

On the subject of map making.

Map making is:

A. Difficult to a degree.
B. Tedious.
C. Time Consuming.
and
D. There are stringent requirements that must be met for a map to be used in the arena's. The CM team isn't hindered by HTCs rules for MA maps though I assume they do use some of HTCs guidelines.
Also
E. All maps must be thoroughly tested not only by the designer but by HTC staff to ensure that the map doesn't hinder game play through to many bugs.

Lastly with the demise of H2H there is not a readily available arena to have folks test your maps.

Well i personally want to see the Donut map back in the game, it had a few bit of flaws but they could be fixed really really easily...





I am aware of people complaining about how the Donut map's fighter lake bases could be taken and would ruin all their fun, well my suggestion is make it uncapturable. But make downtime for fighter hangars and Vh like 30 min instead of 15 i guess..... just my 2 cents.
