When I was a CT CM and ran a similiar set up on this map it was populated and from what I heard was fun.
I did it a bit different and ran it late 43. I also put specific planes at specific bases. On the fighters like the p38 and p47s I killed all the ammo hangers and forced umm to fly light. Only the bombers (b17, b26 and lanc) had ord. There was no base capture. Field objects were made very hard so no base porking by hvy fighters (cause there werent none) and no low level suicide bomber porking the fields. I increased base flash range to max and reduced radar just enough to create gaps where the bombers could fly through.
The 1 base in italy was allied as well.
I adjusted the fuel mod so that escorts needed dts to get the bombers all they to target.
It was focussed on bombing escort and interception rather then main type play.
However from the western most field in france to england there was solid furballing. It was a good time.
Most of the new ct types are mostly main ex-pats who just use the less populated ct to perfect their milkrunning. The rest have gotten to addicted to the instant action of the recent setups. Aint nothing wrong with any of that.
But if you dont like the set up come back in a week. I dont see why folks feel necessary to jump all over the ct cm. The ct isnt run by committee. The CT CMs volunteeer their time and effort to develop a set up. They run their setups. If you dont like umm then its only a week.
Maybe Jester just needed to borrow Bradys flak suit

Looks like there room for a CT CM, which one of ya loud mouths are going to volunteer?
