mindanao:

sucks for ground war (there is none)

strat is too hard and pretty much unusable with new depot 5 min rebuild stuff

it is most beautiful terrain in AH rotation for sure.

but it is so hard to win a battle nd reset the map and move the rotation long.

whichever country gains momentum puts itself at odds with the other 2 countries thus preventing resets.

I love the Mindanao terrain.... of course, as a bomber pilot I need to choose fields and runway directions carefully to get in the air, especially if I'm in a Lanc - one with a cliff at the end helps too!

Sometimes makes reaching a target field interesting too, if there are hills to get over on the way, but I can usually manage it if I get enough alt to start with!

As for ground vehicles, well I use them just as much as in any other terrain - and that is pretty often! A few fields have remote spawn points, but even if they haven't there are often times when a field is under heavy attack (As A1 was when I was on last night - and we managed to hold it, at least until I logged) when I use an Osti extensively.

Plenty of water around for PT boat and Fleet fun too... yeah, I love Mindanao!

I like the map, but it's not suitable for the numbers in the MA and it stays around forever.

You can't really use the ground vehicals in it. They can't climb the damn hills and mountains inthe terrain. This terrain totally takes the GV's out of the picture as far as threat to your base. I think Pyro should put in roads that let the GV's climb the hills and mountains. Even switchback roads for the big mountains. If your on a road it allows you to actually CLIMB a hill not bough down and roll backwards no matter what gear your in. I don't use GV's often but I sure hate to see them taken out of game due to mountains and hills.

LLB OUT!!!!!!

For the love of God, will this map ever die!

We need the giant pre CV map, with no water except at the edges put back into rotation. This would be a nice quick fix until new larger maps are done.

Please Please HTC kill (or manually reset) the Mindenau Map, its awful right now.

Like many have said here, Mindanao looks nice and has intresting spots for fighter combat, BUT

-GVs can be used only at southern plains

-WESTern country is a fortress that cannot be conqured (unless odds are 3:1 and other countries gangbang it)

-With big numbers (100 player in each country) none of the countries can be reset

It becomes boring when the fight happens at same fiedls night after night for several weeks.

Maybe there should be a limit of 2 weeks (maybe even less?? 1 week?). If no-one wins the war in that time then the map should be reset automatically!!!!!!!

...
ahh forgot,
a solution to the lack of GV battles could be the roads mentioned earlier. Just make canyon passes for the roads!!! Hills are too hard for many GVs to climb. Such places would be great for jabo action too!
