I agree lazs.

As much as it pains me to stroke Fester's already bloated ego,  I have to say - his map rocks.

It focusses a little too much on driving than I'd like, but all and all this has been one of the funnest weeks in AH that I have in a long time.

WTG Fester.  And thank you!

Great map. I'm actually motivated to fly again -- layers of rust and all. It's even fun getting shot down.

Gotta say that Festers map is the best for gameplay. Moving the fields closer together has made the fights quicker to get too and the furballs last longer than other maps.

Thumbs up! Good job Fester!

Anyone see their K/Time go way up on this new map? Mine increased from an average of 6-8/hour to over 17/hour...makes my limited time flying much more fun!

Gentlemen, at ease. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.

We'll have someone along shortly to explain to us that we're not having fun.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Fester's map reminds me so much of the fun times I had in AW. I usually don't have time to strategize. So th quicker I can get involved in a fight, th better, for me. I even got involved in some 1 vs 1, and 1 vs 2...something rare in AH lately, before this map.

Ya know.... the other big maps could be fixed in a jiffy.   I may have suggested a way in the past to do so.   Once or twice anyway.

Love to hear the big map makers explain to me again how moving the fields closer together wouldn't help gameplay or furballs or early war plane use.  How did that go again?

Look at the bright side, when the map comes up again, it should have his latest revisions.  ;)

That map is great.

HT should go back to changing maps every reset.

I was just thinking the same thing Lazs (scarey thought).

All the naysayers that said that moving fields closer would be a disaster and gameplay would be ruined for all eternity, have quitely disappeared into the shadows. This map and its gameplay has injected some much needed new life into AH.

You owe Fester big time for proving your mantra ... "move the fields closer together".

<> Fester and I hope that you already are thinking about creating another one.

Also, I forgot who was the creator of "Equinox", but that map looked very promising, and I hope that he has taken notes from this experience and is making any appropriate changes to continue the ball rolling.

Lazs, no hit on you, but i havent seen any more early war aircraft than i did before.. It's actually turned into a la7/spit arena because all the fights are on the deck.. but if that's the price we gotta pay..
