You are 100% correct. You heard a rumor.

I love when people here rumors on the forums. Maybe someone at HTC is selling secrets. :bolt:

yes I am 100% sure as well I heard this but I was trying to find the vailidity of it.
I am still as ever perplexed.
is this more of giving me what I want and not what i ask for?
-
I am a noob, anyone got a picture of the map?

Nope, but I can tell you it was a kick-ass map and my all time favorite.

IIRC it had A21 as a 10K base in the center. One of my favs besides donut.

Looks like it would spawn some great fights...Id make acouple changes though

I remember it being hard to reset when you had to take all but 3 bases of an enemy country.
but with the 20% rule for reset it should be a very quickly reset map by its nature.
I had many good fights on it back when it was in game.
I could always find a gv fight in the chains of gv bases.
naval fights along the coast.
the 10k center base was heavily contested and always being fought for. lots of bomber missions came from that spot for obvious reasons.
i miss the damn thing I put a lot of work into it. I'm glad ozkansas is still around though I worked hard on it too.
it would lend itself to the new moving city thing. it had a city by hq and a forward city in the front zone. and 2 side zones. use the forwad city spot for initial strat location and the city spot by hq for retreated city spot?
all the special stuff gets deleted anyway when converted so no problem there.
-
Go ahead, make us one.
Sorry sir, will be deployed for a year very shortly and Im not going to take from someones design but I would gladly give suggestions.
-Why are all the strats in one countries are
-Could use an area where you have a A-VV-A area....A being an airfield, V being a v base and - being a spawn
- AH could add a neutral base that just has to be deacked and town downed for middle base...first one there gets it.
- I like the islands in the top left lake, could make for some intense furballs over water betwee land based planes..but why not have theem in the bottom and right water areas too?
-Have to give the Win the War crowd something in this map, definately made to spawn awesome fights but maybe not for the Win the War crowd
Id love the map...thats just what I think would bring it into the MA...also thee new city :D
-
another map would be great.
I landed my first AH victories on this map, F4U1D off a CV around the 4,13 grid, good times.

The man speaks truth, bring it back!

Me too ... us guys from the 13th TAS will always be gratefull for the effort you put in on that map.
-
How old is this map? I do not recall see this one.
-
was around before the great big terrain texture and mapping change so 2003?

I spent hours in GVs on this map. Great times :aok

Why are all three strats inside one country? :headscratch:

That's where all the HTC rook conspiracies stem from..... still to this day it is denied :D

My first landed kills were landed at A1 on NDIsles. 3 kills in a 190A8 :rock
-
I heard a rumor KillnU may be back in 2-3 weeks...and that he would be a very happy person if this map was back...
just sayin'
-
Please don't. This map is the fighter's nightmare.

really? I always enjoyed this map, especially that high alt base in the center where everyone (each chess piece) faught over owning it
had some awesome fights on this map
as for the one side owning all the strats, might be because that country had taken the bases and obtained the strats at the time the snapshot of the map was taken, perhaps???
-
I heard he died in a tank... then came back in an ILs :P hahaha

Mine were proxies...but I told everyone I owned 2 people 2v1 :devil
-
All for this map coming back... That high alt base was lots of fun. Good for launching bombers off of and one of the few that was really worth getting into to pork. :)
On a side note I remember my first kill 9 or 10 years ago I guess now.. P40E on baltic. Being new I thought the P40 was such an uber plane :P I couldn't understand why people kept running from me until I joined up with a squad later and they told me that a good share of P40 pilots were either noobs or quite good in them lol. Lucky I guess everyone thought I was an ace. :D Either that or I smelled funny.
-
The strats were that way for a reason back in the old days...don't remember why but it is what it is. The map was a great addition at the time and IF updated to current map stuff I am sure that it would fill in nicely and be a great addition to the rotation.

No offense, but I always liked Oz better! :salute

Looks good. Still wondering about the strats . . .
-
Ignore the strats on the screenshot. It's a very old terrain that I just did load into the current AH version. The conversion to the new system did simply mess the strats locations up. They are now not where they would have been in the days of old (zone system)
-
Bring back the Squid :old:
-
I didn't like the starting setup of this map, the bases were too far appart. Also being forced to go to the next base in the row kindof removed the fun of the MA that is found in improbable and often non symmetric base configurations.
-

You mean those were your first two kills last Friday? :D
-
This was a good map.
I dont remember its name But I think the nicest and most beautifully rendered map I ever saw was that one tropical map that had pearl Harbor and all the Atolls

lmao
it was pulled out and not updated because the airbases were closer than standard 25 miles.
also gv spawns were timed at 5 minute drives so even though you sound like a gv type your travel times on festerma to the target were timed to match aircraft travel times.
as for linear gv spawns it was a design decision.

that is ozkansas. I made the ozkansas map after i made festerma and 13th tas asked me to name it after their friend ozkansas who passed away. it is still in rotation but it lost all the pacific scenery and tiles i put on it in its origional ah1 map version when it was updated.
-

Last Thursday thank you very much :rock
-
Fester always made the best Maps, HiTech should hire his services to create a new map pack. :aok
I miss the old "Furball Lake" map, can't remember the given name but the middle resembled the DA's lake.
-
What I liked about Festerma was it funneled opposing sides into each other (at least until they had captured enough bases to break out into the open. ) The whorde groups couldn't help but run into each other, and the gv guys could play in the tracts, largely unmolested by planes would had a fairly long flight to start their griefing runs

IIRC this one was made by F6bomber and tested by the 9GIAP :aok

Yeah I never do gv's thought, and you nailed it it was the linear aspect of the map that annoyed me. But then I was a base taker, now I'm a picker so I should have fun if it comes round again :cheers:

Damn. Never realised it.But now that I think about it. Cant even recognize it as the same map now. My god that thing was gorgeous.

It would be great if OZKansas was redone with the coastal and ocean tiles that are being used in the "Grinder" map. Flying over the coast in that map reminds me of flying around the Belizean Cayes.
