Current map...

Make the center uncapturable or scrap it please.  Or at least change v4 to a4 and add spawns between islands.

Still one of my favorite maps of all time in my top three you’re all welcome to come at me.  :old:

But I’m OK with this, although I think it should be the outside bases uncapturable.

Ha yes knew that was you I singled that one out for sure! I knew it!

It’s one of my favorite maps I like a lot of the old school maps like Pizza and Baltic are my tops. I think they’re the best maps that provide three country opportunity mostly. NDIsles makes it very easy to get on other parts of the front if your side is hoarding or not much going on. If my side is boring, I just go find the rest of you all if I can get there reasonably. I use the Ta and the P51 mostly for speed and longevity just in case I ever make it back home. It’s hall we once or twice lol. I just pointed the plane towards the big dar bar on the other side and then come back in about 10-15 minutes.

I’m a skin cancer survivor so it’s ok to pick on you!! Glad you’re back in action Bdubs! Stay well see you soon!  :salute :cheers:

Just so you know the words current map are meaningless. All maps should have their name in the top right corner?

NDISLES, requires so many goon captures that the map sticks around for the full 7 days usually.

I think what Lazer is referring to is the V4 base to the east of the center island. There has been quite a few requests to change that to an airfield in case the center islands do get captured as it is almost impossible to do so if you get kicked off.

Yeah good point.  NDISLES

The flak bases in-between bases are a fight killer too... nobody wants to almost certainly get nuked by puffy on there way to a base/fight.

The map was better prior to it being updated.  I'd also highly suggest spawn points from island to island.

Wouldn’t be as big of a deal if goons hadn’t been rendered useless by proximity radar.

I think this is one of my favorite things that you created. This game is completely subjective to the player almost like music. Even though all people like a lot of the same things everyone who gets in a plane or a vehicle or a gun in this game does it uniquely from everyone else… shades removed lol

Sometimes I like to rock some Metallica and go balls to the wall and whatever plowing into the void as a fighter or jabo run; and the just wreak havoc!  :airplane:

And then other times, I like to just point a bomber or a plane off on a course several sectors away, and will cruise to some yacht rock or Sinatra and a joint. By the way, Sinatra also has some bangers that I might be coming in hard on! You don’t even know people! Lol! :aok

I don’t have a playlist for Vehicle when I came back to the game for some reason I just don’t have it like I used to and I just don’t have the time to drive anymore.

NDIsles is it my top three because I have a preference for Pacific theater kinds of things, I think the layout is pretty cool, it’s easier to get to the other two countries if my Rook side is no fun, along with Baltic and Pizza too. All three are good maps to chill on long bomber strat runs too. Other people hate all of because it’s whatever it is to them.


And that is very ok! :cheers:

I’m not positive but I don’t think that’s true. Still. Bombers are priority targets and, if a goon is needed to take a base, anything with a bomber icon is immediately singled out.

AWACS is responsible for so much gamey stupid stuff it’s hard to list them all.

Landed goons do show up on proximity.
