Title: World at War terrain
Post by: jimson on January 03, 2012, 08:35:00 PM
We sometimes get requests to run all Axis vs all Allied planesets. Some would resist this because they don't want to see Corsairs battling 109's in AvA, but there is a way to get all countries plane sets on the same terrain, with minimal mixing. It would require a World at War map and different theaters would be represented in different areas.

It would encompass multiple textures like in the current thread about that here and would be ridiculously out of scale with continents fudged big time, but still might be fun to have the whole war going on in one arena.

This is a crappy pic I whipped up, but has anyone ever tried to make something like this?

I'm working on a real drawing of what it could really look like instead of that 3 minute scribble.

A significant amount of land will have to be removed to keep a bastardized representation of some of the most common battle grounds of the war.

It will be strange to see something like China right next to Italy but I won't be claiming it to be geographically correct.

i couldnt be geographically correct, that would be way to huge.
I really hope this happens, and I hope more people will get in AvA for that

Doing some other small stuff first before I take on a big project like this.
