Just logged. Saturday night, 10pm euro, 4pm est. almost 70 players, not bad.
Flew for about an hour, could barely find a fight. Drove some vehicles, resupplied, flew around.....
map is huge, it's beautiful, but in terms of finding a fight, just too big. Fields too far apart, action to broad.

In other sims not to be mentioned, with 30 people on the server i can usually find a fight much faster, without inflight radar.

Maps need a rethink in view of current numbers. They were great for 300 people, they don't work for 50.

Especially spreading them across 3 fronts.

Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

Agree or disagree doesn't give him the right to spam abusive sexually obscene PM.

Don't know about yours, but the stuff he sent me and others would have got him banned on the forum instantly.  Which is why he harasses through PM and attacking YT accounts.

And then plays innocent victim on the forum.

At least anything I say, I say right out in the open.  I don't hide behind PM\YT stalking.

Well nothing near that but I can certainly see it.

Always thought it would be better to be too crowded on a smaller map than way too spread out on a larger map as we are now

Is there a minimum size the map makers need to stick to?

Smaller maps would be faster to build I would think and also win providing more variety than stagnation

I seriously think some of the maps could be reduced by 60 to 70% of their current size with today's numbers

Very small maps from 6am to 6pm est then small/medium maps the next 12 hrs..nothing the size we have today

If would be nice to see large dar bars in the majority of the map squares when you login

Stop playing victims to the response of your own post. Professional victims.

Daddy was upset that I mention what I did and missed the whole point.... they had a not of money to spen, that was on subject. So quite frankly YOU guys blew it off subject.

Umm sure. Everyone misses it, even those that agree with your ramblings. You are certainly out… standing in your field!  :salute

Imagine my surprise when my first kill of Sunday night was an assist on you.

Usually when you’re pointing at everyone else… it’s usually you.

It would be good for the current player base, and it could help revive numbers a bit.  If people actually found a war when they logged in, they might log in more.

My thoughts exactly..

Seems the most easy way to attempt a change

Literally take a map and cut at least 50% of it out and give it a go..

They would have to make 10 mini maps. The issue would be the win the war types would blow through a mini map in an hour or two due to the number of bases/ bases needed for the win. They could adjust the percentage needed to win to increase the number of bases a team would need to capture to win the map, but then you would have what we had in the old days.....and sometimes these days. One team pushed back to 1 or 2 uncapturable base endlessly being vulched.

This.

This morning the numbers are 24 v 7 v 6, with the 7 and 6 fighting each other.  Only the players can change this dynamic.  (There are coding changes that might help, but that would probable upset the 24 who enjoy the horde.)
