The new map encourages us to think that management have not given up on Aces High and are showing subscribers some respect.
The map seems pretty good. Not too big and reasonable distance between bases.
The convoys on the roads are a nice touch. Trains would be good too.

Fly up to the strats for any country, even offline, and you will see trains running to each strat and the HQ. The city does not get a train per Hitech's design.

The actual land terrain is neat, but I have two problems.  First is P89 doesn't have a CV.  Not sure what that's all about.  I sank C90 this morning, and it never respawned back at P89.

Second thing is that it is near impossible to take a base with low numbers. If your country gets ganged and robbed of all of the bases but the ones near your strats, and you only have 8 people in flight, you might as well log off, because there will be no making a comeback.  The number of VHs you have to take out to take a base, and the distances you have to fly to get to them (especially the resupply bases), makes come-back base taking a waste of time with low numbers.  For some reason the spawn lines are super long at the bases nearest the strats (where you get pushed back to when you're at 50%).  So if you get ganged down to 50%, there's no way to make a comeback. 

The drives from the spawns are really short, too. I kept killing Nordman in 97 town, and he'd be back in town in like 90 seconds.

In a nutshell, if you like base taking but you have low numbers and your country got ganged down to 50%, then you might as well log off of this map.

Nice looking terrain Bustr.
I haven't had time to play it in the MA, but I tooled around in God's Eye mode offline.
Very unique look and a needed addition to the rotation.

Thanks Fugitive for post the pic.
Thanks Bustr for making it.

Looks pretty good.. won't know till I play it though. Bases seem fairly close. Don't know how I feel about the middle...really, all 3 teams should be able to fight each other in more than just tanks, for a purpose, rather than just a furball area in the middle for tanks only. It's whatevs though. 

Why no post on the front page website? This is a huge deal. Maps make or break the #s and is huge for the game. People love to see new maps. Would be great for the front page. I feel like only maybe 60 people have seen the announcement on the boards.

Snagged it a little while ago and flew around offline. Had fun strafing the trucks! Been a while for that. We'll be up in the MA after FSO.

Thanks again for taking the time to do this for everyone, Bustr. Looks good!

Yeah.  Front page news.    Needs to be disseminated.

pigs took a base with low numbers, then on the next base we would have taking it too if I hadnt messed up my drop.  but all in all was fun, we had tanks fighting each others, planes fighting each other and then there were bases with no tanks where we had a lot of fun just fighting each other over water, few tanks involved.

for this map you have to change your strategy that's for sure, but bases can be taken.

you dont want me to ho, dont point your plane at me.
