Yeah, more realistic.  I want it so enemy bases aren't 25 miles apart, so I can fly for an hour before seeing any red guys to shoot.  Oh yeah, and I want my CPU to explode when my plane does...I think we should have to build a new computer every time our cartoon plane explodes in this video game.





Or perhaps someone could just re-think their plan so they don't have to fly over the top of a mountain just to toolshed.

Here's a tip: Go to the AvA arena. They got a desert map up right now that is sweet. (No huge mountains.)

Up a B-25 and fly at about 600 ft AGL. (No icons, they won't see you.)

Just keep flying straight to the target. (Really, nobody will notice.)

Make sure you bring drones. (To get all the perks with.)

did you know that on the Eastern Front some bases were within just a few minutes flying time from enemy bases?  Wait, of course you didn't.  So how can you ask for something to be more realistic when you no idea how it was realistically?

+1. Enough pizza and propeller crap.  Would be nice to have a more realistic map with the usual obvious concessions for gameplay added in.

I'd kill to have an MA Desert AND Winter Map!  :x I'd still love to see an MA variant of that awesome Twin River's map.  Modded for 3 countries and with more rivers, like lines of defenses....

Why stop there?

For total realism, I propose HTC tally up every cartoon pilot that dies, send a paid hit man to the customers adress, and kill him just as his cartoon plane was destroyed.

The usual answer to requests like this is to go make a map yourself.
Making a map is not easy it is a long hard process and one that has to take in the three sided game play.
Anyone can make a flat map for two sides but getting a three sided map where every side starts equal is not.
Most of the maps are made by the game members and not by HTC,if you don't like flying over 25k mountains then don't
just start some where else

actually, as it was put to me once, sit on a 55 gallon drum of gas in subzero temps and hook it to your comp so it catches fire or blows up when you do in the game.  Now THAT's realism :)
