Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought I saw an I-16 up from a vehicle base a few days ago.

I’d rather see errors while fixing/updating something than errors because nothing is being done.

Kenai77/JimmyD takes his role serious.He cares. He fixed a map on the fly yesterday. Kinda people I want on my crew, tho I no longer run it.

Doing nothing turns my guts. Throwin in the towel goes against my inner fiber.

When someone new asked me how they are doing I say, “look, just give sht, you’ll be alright. Defeatist are those who lose, a lot”. They talk themselves into failure.

Get a whole community to work as one is golden effort. No “I” in the word “team”. We all know something, together we know almost everything.

I noticed shore batteries that were not listed as icons on the map.
Was that intentional?

From the tankers including myself in AH last night, there was a lot of praise for the map design Jimmy.  Well done.

The two gun V-base was a huge amount of fun.  Most mentioned was the bowl-shaped, undulating terrain surrounding the 2 gun V-bases.

Not sure what you are referring to Tralfzo, unless I missed one of the original SB's. I look back at my work copy. I did notice several Shore based Bases that did not have any PT spawns, I will also double check that.

Specifically BISH 66 ( They were on the western portion of the map)- There was a shore battery in front of the town that was not listed as an icon on the map. Also south of those vbases/ports in the middle islands had an extra shore battery. I tried to max the map to pinpoint for range from the icon but could not find it on the map.

Not a big deal. I kind of liked it as you had to manually judge the range.

There will be bugs. 

That just means updates and mods have been done.   Kudos to Kenai77

There will be whiners.   🤣🤣🤣.  One less now.
