Just wanted to say it.

Beautiful textures. (though I would change the water a tiny bit)

Nice layout. (from what I see)

I especially like the airbase being right next to HQ. seems more logical to have a base defending it.

Beautiful textures. (again they are that great).

your thoughts? (besides any bugs so many want to point out

)

My problem with this map is the same I have with the other two big maps. The planes seem to be drawn small when they are rendered. This is probably due to the fact that they have to located by drawing at the X and Y co-ordinates useing less pics.

On the smaller maps all of the objects appear larger and are therefore easier to see.

On the big maps if a plane is 8-10k below you there is not even a dot against the background, you can see a dot on dot dar but cannot see the plane if you are capping a base at 15k the bombers comming in at 1-3k you dont see until it is too late.

There are two many vehicles bases in my opinion and the airfields are a little far apart in some cases. I do like the radar detectors on the edges of the map as the knights generally loose their dar at least twice a day, so this helps some.

Looks good!
Textures, clipboard & layout are great...good!!
Lots of CVs as well ... good!

But fields are still too far appart... anything more than one sector away is too far for my taste. (read climbing, climbing....Zzzzz sleeping).... bad!

This is a fine addition to the maps that we've flown in AH. The fighting and flying seems to be different here than in any other map. More strategic below dar captures, more high alt engagements, lots of low level furballs, more water-borne gv ops that don't need a nearby carrier for launching, and generally some pretty exciting flying. I believe that this map will require a concerted effort to make any serious attemps at land grabs. More cooperation between squads in each country could/will result. The 2am easy-pickins base hopping is minimized with the increased distances. The terrain has one of the better tile sets - like springtime in Europe. It looks more like terrain that I've flown over in R/L than any other map in MA rotation.
