I have a question too - are FlakBases capturable?   If not, will it be a problem in the tighter areas like Sardinia, or southern England??   If you capture an airfield near situated near a flakbase (A70, A25, A26, etc), will the flak base fire on your aircraft as they try to use the field?

Flak bases can be made capturable or uncapturable in the arena settings.   And yes, the flak base will fire at your plane if you do not own it ... I believe any enemy plane above 2,000 ft or so above the flak base altitude.

Oboe ... try the CraterMa map offline and go to the middle of the map, up a storch at a vbase and fly towards one of the enemy flak bases and it will give you an idea as to the proximity to the flak base that you can fly before flak rounds are fired at you.

If I could suggest something: GV Spawn between 98 and 70, GV spawn between 95 and 108.  Blue appears lacking in support in those regions.


Volron, there are 2 spawns into 70 currently, from A95 and A84.  A95 you are correct, only 1 spawn in currently from A87.

I was looking at a connection from there to Africa, which is why I brought it up.  :aok

This looks amazing!  I hope it makes it into rotation, I cant wait to run some bomber missions on this.

Edit: Does this map have trains and trucks?  I hope so, the ground attack missions would be awesome.

No, but I've only been here for six months.

ETOMA is up in the Custom Arenas now. Will try to leave it up most of the day.
