Wow. Just checked it out. Nice textures and excellent shorelines. Not to mention the layout of the hills, bases, strat targets.

Very nice job.

My first impression.... IMPRESSIVE
But  with so many hills there will be no deck running  HTC just took my most effective ACM away from me   :p

It will be fun.

Now I want the Mosquito FB.VI, for low level raids, even more.

New terrain looks great.

Yep, by far the most impressive terrain I've ever seen in AH   :)  Will look forward to more, hopefully soon!   :)

After reading the high praise by Citibria I knew it had to be good, but this ... this is incredible.  It just has to be seen to be believed.  I literally flew offline for over an hour just admiring the terrain and thinking about all the awesome potential it has.

Look at this:

<S> !!! HTC, this is far and away the best terrain yet for the MA.

To get it, just log into the "main arena next tour" arena.

guys check out the pt boat spawn points...

they are very good and much improved with spawns to nearby water edged bases on many locations.

vehicle spawn point distances seem to be viable and not more than a few minutes travel so that will be good for ground madness  :)

yep nice map, looking at the lay out, it seems off hand that the country who gets the
left central noodleula sticking out west will
have the advantage, can only really be attacked effectively by CV groups.

Anyway I can get it without logging into the MA next tour arena? Sadly, I don't currently have a subscription.

Great job on the beaches and coasts. The islands are very well done. Makes you want to pull out the Zero, that's for sure.

Another thing that map does is give you a sence of location. As in I flew from A8 to the main island and back, and it seems after time you could know where your at on the map without even looking at it.

The old maps tend to be featurless now that I think about it.

Anyway, wtg.

Best looking map I've seen in AH. The game just gets better, WTG!

Now <ahem> we could do with some IJN/IJA bombers to support it... maybe even a Ki84...

Something must be WRONG!!!  Creamo didn't complain or call someone a tard! LoL, has he turned a new leaf?  Nahhh..   Anyway, I love this new map also.  Cities are located on the coast!  I like that idea.  PT boats will actually have more use in this map.  I didnt know there were PT spawns.. thats really cool.  This terrain will add many different tactics and strategies other than the furball madhouse the old MA has become.  WTG HTC!

Im not so sure Oct, with everything being close to sea this might just mean more CV use, and we all know how realisic and interesting they are.  :)

Anyway well see how it turns out, tho this terrain sure is very pretty to look at. It even seems to have some villages or something that looks like a bunch of huts or wodden homes.

The most beautiful and complex arena I have ever seen.  :)
I hardly can wait to do some jabo mission, sneaking into bish land through the canyons  :D  

<S> to all, who worked on this map.

Especially we need road for vehicles in it.  :)

or if you arent into the pacific war it could also look a mediterranian island battlefield like crete.

well ok granted its a little green but if you squint hard enough....at least the actual beach area and lagoons sometimes look rocky and mediterranian -either way wtg it is great   :)
