Yes, If AH is to grow, and fully expect it to, what with the advertising and the demise of the competion we must have the larger maps, and frankely the smaller ones are just to small.

Hehe, I always looked at the Pizza Map as a kind of "You want a bigger map?  Fine, F you... hehe" reaction by HiTech in response to the constant "MAPS ARE TOO SMALL" threads of 3 months ago...  :D

Careful what you wish for I guess.  :cool:

Don't like it:

- ugly compared to the refined maps like "Black Sea" for example
- oversize/fieldoverpopulation encouraged milkrunning
- base altitude to high for my 190As - 4.5k in the canyons, 11k fields, come on!
---
Other than that bigger maps are welcome - a bit more refined and good looking plz... :D

Yes, pizza is a fine map and literally offers new dimensions to Aces High.

Then fly something else...:D

j/k Kirin

I like it. Milkrunners do wonders for my K/S ratio hehe... besides which with a larger map people can actually get buffs to operational alts, practice multiple formation flying, etc. w/o getting tagged by fighters that can CAP an entire arena with 100% fuel and 2 xternals...get real!

Yes.

As others have said before would be good if each sector could be a different terrain ie summer, winter and desert.
However they could be limited to the amount of different tiles in a map making this impossible or maybe HT chooses not to accept the idea.

And to round it off theres nothing i like better than finding the AK,s milk running VH bases on their own map and chastising them severely :)

IMO its a well made map, and obvious a lot fo work went into development of it. There are some problems with it though which, probably causes harsh feelings about it.
It is large, perhaps too large for a country that has to fight on two fronts; IMO it presents an argument for a two country format rather than the current 3 country arrangement.
It lends itself to milkrunning and backdoor tactics while 2 other countries are slugging it out; hardly fair to those who are working hard to accomplish something, only to have a bunch of milkrunners take fields without working at it. Therefore, the map reinforces the landgrab approach.
The country that always has huge numbers will have the advantage, the country with the fewest  numbers will always be the one ganged.
The number of  Vehicle hangars in close proximity to each other is strange. Usually if there is a vehicle depot, there would be a field or base or strat resource it services. On this map, there are strings of VH which seem to serve no purpose.

Big is good,but the icons on map are too small and cluttered to see easily,thats what pisses me off,when Pizza comes on I go sheep rustling till a new map comes back :D
 If only we could have a full screen map at the touch of a key it would help a lot.

Do you not use the "insert" and "delete" key to zoom in and out on the map ?

I think you're reading too much into it. HiTech doesn't seem like the type to intentionally piss off his customer base to prove a point. He also didn't ask us to build a map big or otherwise, it was all our idea. However, we did solicit input from HiTech every step of the way.

The whining began in early June as soon as HiTech showed a screen capture of the map fully a month before 1.10 was released with the new terrain. That was what, 4 months ago? Plenty of time for many of the whiners to show us how it was supposed to be done. What I'd like to know is how many of them have submitted a candidate for the MA to HTC. Anyone?
