That map would be a great Mid war areana, don't get me wrong...
I'm not much of a furballer, as the planes I fly are hard to win in and I suck which is a double whammy in my case....
It just it is so small that there is nothing but a massive furball and if you don't wan't to try and run the vulch you have to fly 2-3 sectors to be in the fight....
One second its too small, next you have to fly forever to find a fight, make up your mind!

Another thing, its not because of the map that you suck in a fighter, so don't blame the map. Skill can be taught IF you are willing to put in the time to learn it.
The biggest reason this map is a problem for so many is because of the type of game play we have. NOE's are tough due to the razor sharp mountains and valleys as well as the predictable "water paths" most flights take. It takes a different type of mission to get around this map and as most player don't/won't change their style of play they instead complain that the map sucks.
