NDIsles is the BEST

[nopoop]

Center island you can fight all day. Love it.

No base taking, just good aerial combat. Lots of it.

Friday night there was 10 to 15 per side x 3 countries.

One guy said "Jeez everybody is shooting everybody !!"

I believe a couple of sorties my hair caught on fire.

THAT  is good stuff.

Those furball lake/Island maps certainly tic off the "Base Take" crowd

Yes, this map is perfect for the game right now. People know where the fight is, there is normally some good CV action. It's small enough for fights to be big which is what people want. I had some good fights last night with the 85 players or so on. You can really tell the difference between a map like Ndisles and a map like CraterMA. There is normally always fights outside of the Furball island area. I think its a great map all around for the current tide of AH players.

Guessing many of you haven’t witnessed Rooks habit of taking the center island bases and then there’s no fight.

Ironically, some of the Rooks that do this say they want close fights and are left twiddling their thumbs…

When I logged in last night for a bit they owned everything but one Knight and one Bishop base. It happens a lot on this map and others with a center island.

Still need to reduce sides from 3 to 2 as numbers don't support 3 anymore imo

Just doing that would improve gameplay on all maps

Always one of my favorites, CV fights and the middle island for GV's.

All of the small maps are better minus buzzsaw.

Not me. Just gives the opportunity to steal a base when everyone is distracted by da furball.

-1, moving to 2 countries will kill off the game completely.

How?

What war is 3 sided?

Usually one side against the other

Not enough players for 3 countries battles and more...used to be but not any longer

Usually have a good fight btwn 2 of them while the 3rd has to fly 2 squares to find a fight...or switch to one of the othe 2 countries having the fight

Just my opinion Eagler. It would be a substantial shift in playing, not sure I would stay for it if that happened. Look at FSO, 2 sided and it appears to be dying as well.

I agree with "JimmyD3". If there is no "balancing" put into effect (which if it was would kill all squad ops) then you would always log on with one team having a large numerical advantage. That would add to the "ENY" whines and more players leaving due to being ganged, or always under ENY. No 2 sides wouldnt work.

The maps however I can get on board with. NDIsles is always a fun time whether your in a vehicle or a plane. CV ops pop up all over the place. You also have the buff hunters going after those buffs that like to hit strats. Action for everyone and nobody is spaced out hiding in some corner milking stuff.

I dont know what the population numbers were back in the day when they first started adding larger maps (#Lusche) but I dont think we are near those numbers these days. We lived with only a few maps in rotation back then, I dont see why we couldnt do it now.

Do you fly in FSO?

The only thing that would kill that is lame scenarios
