What? I disagree. I have never seen the western country become the cause of the reset.

This is just one of many threads about Mindanao's design.

I think that what I see both in playing and in reading the oppinions here, is that we are not playing the map correctly.

What I mean, to follow with Tac's great assesment, is that furballing is easy and yet useless.

There are 2 general types of flying in our community. Fighter Jock Furballs, and Strategic Minded Land grabbers.
Now, we could obviously split the 2 into arenas that are conducive to such game play, but do we really want to break up such a great bunch of pilots?

I think Mindinao just as a couple of bases that are to tightly spaced.

What we need is a terrain that perpetuates both styles of play. It should also need to allow for GV's and Naval forces to get equal billing.

Check out my Celebes map and see if it fits the bill.
BTW, there may be just enough flat area to satisfy Tuck's need (even if it's not sand)

best map we have. CV's need to be toughened up a bit tho. Who cares about GV's anyway?

Funny, I feel the same about CVs

yeah but... you fly LW so... your opinion about CV's is worthless.

Still.. If I flew short ranged, (and short sighted) fast climbing planes I would like to see CV's show up near my fields.

Hmmm....I could apply that same logic to you and your opinion of buffs.

lazs1 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 18, 2001, 10:52:00 AM »

you could but.. you would be wrong. Faulty analodgy. A common LW problem. Fluffs are modeled poorly in a reverse fashion to CV's. CV's have too little effect on the game because of their poor modeling while fluffs have too much effect on gameplay because of their poor modeling.

Mindnao one of the very best maps, if not THE best map, VERY fun to fly on.

If any one map should go it's the Isle map, nothing but movable acks, CV to field vulchs and more movable 88's all over the freaking place, no where to fly and no where to go without getting a 88 up yer but.

Am0n · « **Reply #25 on:** December 18, 2001, 01:31:00 PM »

It would be a great map if it had some flat areas. It almost seems the only level land on the whole island is the bases them selves. Canyon fighting is fun so i would hate to see it totaly flat, but some areas need it (to promote GVs).

Also if it was possible to fly under the proximity radar this map would be great, but then i think every map would be great if that were the case

Yes they are and that is why I have stated the facts after you stated your opinion.. Kinda cleans up the air.

The facts as you see them = an opinion. I'm not going to play semantics with you.

Buffs don't have too much effect on gameplay at the moment because hardly anyone flies them. Most of the times fields are taken via jabos.

They SHOULD be a major effect in the game.

Have you learned anything about the role of aviation in war?

Bombers were a HUGE part of the war effort in WWII (and they still are now in conflicts)

CVs dont have as much effect as they should..why?
IMO: CVs can only reach so many fields plus there is only one carrier in a group.

laz is busy looking up semantics in the dictionary.
