10 minute climb outs for what seems like moments of action unless you uber troll defending bases and then good luck gaining much alt against astronauts:)

20minute flights for buffs avoiding the extremely large mountains on climbouts that generaly take you 10-15 miles off course in certain areas of the map.

Now you have your vertran guys who will chime in but for the average joe its not a lot of fun. As for me I dont mind themap. When numbers are low really adds pressure to push bases under their nose. Free base that is.... :x

With normal numbers its hard to push more than a base or two before a country catches on a begins to focus on that front again until someone wears oit.

With high numbers its just a cluster jam with no organized strategy that usually ends with a side rolling for a few hours and then mass loggings.

Is what it is :bhead

Even the 9k bases you still have to climb to get out of. This is the worst map in my tenure playing the game. If Dale's goal is to sabotage his own game...it's working.

This map SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PULL IT FROM THE ROTATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   These maps to me are like modern art, I just don't see the creativity. I think what is hurting this game is what I found fascinating when I first joined, the immersion of fighting in WW2. It has lost the feeling for me that had so much promise with the new graphics. I want to burst open a speeding train with my rockets, house to house fights with my tank in tank town city, defend a 30 plane bomber formation deep in enemy territory. When Trinity died it took AH's soul with it.

                                                                                                                                                                   IMOP  :salute

Someone sad bring back Fester and dump this.  I agree. 


I also saw a Solomon Islands map someone had over in Free.   If you could reduce the grid numbers on that one (zoom in) I could see it being a lot of fun. 


Beating a dead horse, but Buzzsaw is horrible.   It's just not helping things.    :salute

Why bother waiting for a replacement map to be ready?

Just dump Buzzsaw ASAP - addition via subtraction.  :aok

What is worse than playing Buzzkill? Is having to play Buzzkill twice because Hitech reset-ed it after patch release.  :rofl

Map plain SUCKS, climb ... fight (maybe) then climb again to go home. Terrain is so poor you see green and blue at 15K, like playing FALCON in CGA all over again  :joystick: :lol

ABSOLUTELY! Not sure it is very good with low numbers but I feel like it generated some of the best fights I've had in some time.  I don't particularly like Buzzsaw, but that's only because people leave as soon as a country gets an upper hand.What I don't understand is the obsession with "its not realistic"! What is wrong with having a quick drive to a strat? Should appease the strategy/pork players, GV fight any one(at strats)? That's 2 excuses down. As far as furballers go, its fairly easy to pick a fightI have no trouble finding fights on Buzzsaw. Of coarse I am relatively new to AH and can understand why most old time players don't like it. I haven't reached that level, where it much different than any other terrain/fight styles on maps. If you aren't GVing, why would you gripe about the terrain's design?  Furballers do their thing in the air. Plus, most guys climb to 20k before entering a fight anyway. Pretty sure that time is more than enough to cancel out mountain issues?  I don't know who made this map, but a lot of effort was put into its creation. I have yet to see a post about Buzzsaw that wasn't just pure nagging. Whats wrong with a, Thanks brother. Appreciate the effort, but I just don't care for this or that. Thought out and articulated as to what you see as a problem would get more changes, over complaints with just criticism. At least I think so. True, it is a bit difficult taking of at high alt bases in some elite/favorite rides but combat was never without its complications. What if we had massive cloud cover or weather and wind effects at every altitude? That WOULD jump up the realism factor for sure, but AH doesn't have that and this is close to being just as hindering to players. This is a sim you know? Do something different, its a great map for that!
