I don't hate it, but I'm not keen on geometrically-designed terrains as they ruin my suspension of disbelief. I like something that looks like it could be real terrain both on the map and out the cockpit. OTOH I can often take off from a 9K field and quickly get to a fight over one of the nearby ports, so it is one of the "funner" maps for me.

It's the worst terrain ever created for Aces High. I absolutely hate it.

I like nothing about Buzzsaw, i played for about an hour last night until i logged off in frustration. This map does not promote air to air combat. Even the 'fighter town' does not promote air combat because of the high altitude of fields and volume of ack. If you like being in a gv or in a bomber hitting strats it may be an enjoyable map.

I can't believe i used to hate Mindanao- it felt like a godsend when it popped up the other day.

Last night was my first time on it, quickly was annoyed by the elevations and how it plays. Felt like it was built in mine craft. I just moved to the low populated outer areas and attacked a couple ports.

I applaud the creator for the interesting design, other than that, it's a pain. :uhoh

Was there ever a map in AH2 that was an enormous lush green grass island of land with various sharp snowy peaks here and there on it, with water only on the outside of the mass of land, where the CV's would be constantly involved in naval warfare throughout the map uptime? I also believe the majority of the fields were within 0 - 1k altitude, with only a couple ranging up to 4k or so.

Does it exist, did it ever, or am I just imagining a map I wish we had? :headscratch:

Either way, I am not a big fan of the Buzzsaw map.

I like it. Sure, the terrain is unrealistic but it promotes a lot of action.

Strats are constantly down so most front line fields are deacked most of the time.
Its a weird map but people are fighting, i have seen very few sneak attempts, only way to take a base is by frontal assault.

I don't care for the proximity of the Ack strats and not a fan of having to climb out of a field that's already @ 10k to get to a fight. Then climb to 15k to get back to my 10k base if I do manage to survive till the fuel gets low.

This map is almost like someone trying to see what works for quick action without having to make a half dozen maps show casing each element to test against generating fast community fun. Kind of like the ndisles swap out of the three GV bases on tank town island for small airfields.

Buzzsaw has many good elements being used crammed together out of context to what the community has come to expect as environmental norms. Almost like throwing it against the wall and seeing what sticks.

Anyone notice santa asked how we all liked having radar show everything to everyone on Christmas eve?
