I think some of you just arent looking for gv spawn points.  If I remember correctly, there should be some spawn points that put you in range of factories and cities on that map.  A little birdy once told me that.   :)

Highflyer because every single map ever created is not compatible with the latest version of AH.  And not every single map is suitable for gameplay balance reasons.
Why run maps that do not showcase some of the new features?

***There are too many fields, too close together and not enough spawn points.***

Suggestions:  

Remove the 3 small fields in the center (A3, A25, A44).

Remove a large field deep in each countries homeland (perhaps A11, A37, A53).

Add spawning points along most (all?) coasts.

VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure that spawn points work both ways.  Right now, some of the fields in the area from A4 to A30 can spawn in one direction only.  That doesn't make sense to me.

Your comments, please.

Mindano's a beautifull map but it definately needs vehicle spawn points.  The uterus map was the absolute worst, ugly and plain as hell.

I love the Mindanao map.  There has got to be a better solution to the GV spawn point problem.  Anyone try a good, old fashion amphibious assault?  I’m not being sarcastic; just wondering if anyone’s tried it.  After all, the CVBG’s are moving bases with GV spawn points.  True, the LVT-4 is no match for a panzer (or maybe it is…haven’t tried it), but you could land them anywhere along the coast.  Give them a decent cap and put enough ashore and you could make a difference.  What we could really use to make this more practical are LST’s capable of putting real tanks ashore.

Another possibility would be to eliminate or limit (perhaps to just interior bases) the Panzer IV and Ostwinds in island terrains such as Mindanao but allow the lesser GV’s.  That way the LVT-4 would be the heaviest gun out there.  Attackers and defenders alike would be able to role them from any base.  After all – and to use the “H” word – historically speaking heavy tanks played only a minor role in the island campaigns of the Pacific.  This idea could be implemented with the current terrain, by the way; no changes necessary.  With the heavy tracks eliminated, an amphibious assault would stand a real chance of success.  Say, that is an idea!

Mindy map is gorgeous but IMO the worst for gameplay.

At the moment I'm awaiting for my Saitek X36 to be replaced under warranty.  So I'm using an old crappy joystick but can only really use it for GVs BUT there are hardly any damn spawn points on the Mindy map!  Argh!!!  So over the last 10 days I've hardly played AH because of the stupid Mindy map!  If you're going to keep this map then PLEASE put some more GV spawn points in!!   :(

Also, as Hazed mentioned, what about the old Beta map and 'sfterrain' map?

Regards

Yup, Mindanao does seem to go on forever...whoever has the west islands pretty much wins most of the time.

Pretty, just like to see more use of GVs in the interior.

And why are there mountains on the end of practically every runway?   :)

Lepaul <S> for actually reading what i was saying   :)


IM NOT ASKING FOR CHANGE OR REMOVAL OF MINDANAO.

what id like to see is equal amount of time of all the maps.mindanao takes 2-3 times longer to finish so PLEASE put it on less times than the othersso we get the chance to play all of them equally.Simply a request for a different order in maps.

HTC if its possible and doesnt take huge programming effort add some of the other maps that are already made like the MED etc.Theres also a great many player made maps that may be suitable? if you need them to be tested why not set up the sea arena to run the same thing as in MA(maps swaps for wins) and we can use it as a testing area for any maps you have no time to make yourself or some you like but have no time to test?
I realise MED isnt the best example of an MA map as its short HQs for 3 sides etc but im sure if you made it clear the maps players make need to be for MA im sure people will offer their designs with a lot of enthusiasm if they thought they could eventually be used in MA.

btw HTC with the new rail convoys etc will we then have only 1 map usable in MA? if so i guess all these requests are pretty pointless  :), let us know please?
