Lusche. Please stop posting in this topic. It's about the amount of sea areas on MA maps. You're trying to highjack the subject and turn it into a post about "Lusche and his inflated opinion of dog fighting" as a strategy. For someone who claims to know so much about AH, you don't seem to realize that name calling and off topic comments are both violations of the forum format.
As for the intended topic, the world is indeed made up of 75% water. But the land in the world is not made up 90% of little islands. Take a look at a globe. You'll see what i mean. Major air engagements were indeed fought over the waters of the South Pacific. They were also fought over Africa, Asia and Europe. In fact, i would venture to say the number of planes that fought in the Pacific Theatre of WWII would be "dwarfed" by the number of planes that fought over dry land. So in my opinion, unless you're talking about another planet... or an alternate history, the sea based maps in the MA we so frequently have to play on are poor (at best very limited) representations of the map designs possible.
It takes you 2 years to figure something out ? Maybe you should stick with that. I mark a trail when i first walk into a forest so i don't get confused by all the trees. Saves alot of time and discomfort. But i understand the learning curve can be brutal for some people, i think AH will eventually adopt MA maps with far less water on them. It only makes sense. It's a game about aircraft, not navies.
