Because most players are doing the GV thing and so it is easier for groups to get together and roll bases. It takes less players in each group to take a base as there are always less defenders.

The obvious solution is to take a21 using airplanes.

Ya, thats a great solution  :rolleyes:

Lets see, Bish own A21 and are ruining the GV fights so the Rooks take it with planes and THEY ruin the GV fights, so the Knights take it with planes and THEY ruin the GV fights, and on and on it goes. There will never be a big GV presents there until A21 is gone.

A21 is a "carrot" dangling in front of base takers noses.  It was created with uncapturable GV bases in proximity for a "coordinated" attack. 

I understand the complaints, and feelings that there is a better GV battle to be had.  But I am not buying this is a mistake, rather it is a rallying point.  No fights anywhere else (which btw hardly, if ever, happens on this map) then THERE is the ever present challenge.

Thanks HiTech, for fixing the CV port issue while juggling alpha coading as well.

Tumor  :rofl  Okay, I won't disregard your opinion.  :noid  Just log into whatever tiny map that is currently running  (the one with the valleys) and convince me that you have anywhere near the number of close fights....   :bhead

I wouldn't say Fester map sucks, but it is the bottom of my list of the maps they run.

Why? Because it usually ends up with a single fight on one front. You get spurts of GV action here and there as well as the occasional pop up fight here or there. If your not "watching" the map it is easy to miss these little fights.

I find far more fights on the smaller maps. That is a sign of the times. With the lower numbers it is easier to hit a critical mass type thing where you have more than the one big fight. I think that is the trouble with the Fester Map. It is a big map and there are just not enough people to get it rolling.

Sometimes we have opinions about things that end up being self fulfilled prophecies.  However, with this current valley map, I will try and give some evidence instead of just personal preference.

Flying a PonyB and received a pilot wound from town ack (happening a lot lately).  I turned immediately and flew directly towards the nearest friendly airfield.  I didn't get 10 seconds within dar range of that field at full throttle and level flight skimming the plateau heights, before I succumb to the wound and flashed to the tower.

This is not a complaint that I lost a plane or points, as much as an example of how FAR the air to air battles are in some SMALL maps.   <<<<<  This IS my major complaint, especially when looking for a fight that can be sustained during off hours and limited minutes of gameplay.

Fester sucks... but finding a fight really isn't that hard folks.

While in Tower, bring up the map.

Notice where the red dots are.

Fly that way.

Fester sucks...
Fester has the most action, low or high numbers. Kills, fights, gv battles, navy battles, base captures ... any and all action.

Don't know exactly why, but it is likely the base density and proximity. A few uncaptureable ports is a nice touch. As are the long distances required to hit strats.

One wish item is radar nearer to the strats.
