Uploaded two new maps:  Reefs and Badlands.  Not sure if they are MA-worthy, or if there is room in the rotation, but still interested in comments.

Reefs is a "big center lake" style map, and gets the name from the tiny islands protecting the center vbases.  Fleets can get close enough to launch LVTs, but still require a short flight by supporting aircraft.  The center vbases spawn to the ports as well as to the center GV "playground"  They also would have some Early War fighters enabled for defense and furballing.

Badlands is a "big island" style map with perimeter bases for ships to attack.  The center furball bases are designed to be easy to defend or re-capture with GVs.

Thanks for having a look.

You can download them in the game from the opening screen, "CHOOSE TERRAIN", then view and fly them from, "OFFLINE PRACTICE".  (At least I think they are available to everyone.)

Thanks Fugi.

Those look pretty good at a glance Kong.

With badlands, what if one of the CV spawns was on the opposite side of the map? Would make for fun raids.

Yes agree.  I worked on that for a while but couldn't find locations with balanced access to both enemies' fields.

What about off the coast equidistant to the 2 opposing country fields?

Looks like good maps! Base distance doesn't seem too far which I think is the biggest thing we can do to keep fights going. 12-15 miles max distance.

Not too big either. I think that is good. This keeps the fights going rather than allow players to be disbursed all over the place. I like that. It keeps the fights big and compact.

I wish you could make that lake a tad bit smaller but its really no biggie.

Id love to see these maps encorperated into the rotation. I am about tired of only playing on Crater and BowlMA most of the time as they are so big that stay up for days.
