In the center of the map are 3 vehicle bases: V146, V167 and V74. There is one Air field A21. When the map was introduced there was intense gv action. It did not take long for the Bomb-toads to end the tank battles and that area has been quiet ever since. It does not matter which country controls A21, there are no longer any gv battles in that part of the map.
Can A21 be changed to a V base? Or if it cannot be changed to a v base, can A21 be moved to another part of the map?
This area could be a "Tank Town" for FesterMA.

GV's get egged because they shell either the base or town. That air field sits in a very strategic location, so it is something I would tend to defend. I do agree with you though, if that airbase were moved that entire area loses any importance strategically making it an excellent Tanktown/Gv furball area

+1, A21 is the Fresno of the Fester map

That air field sits in a very strategic location
I have observed that location a bit now and only rarely saw bombers taking off from that field trying to make use of this strategic location. I can only suspect it may have something to do with being 'observed' by the surrounding vehicle bases. :headscratch:

Why don't you up a gv mission to capture the air base? The gv action be off because it is a battle of spawn campers vs spawn campers.

A single TigerII is able to hide in the town and kill most tanks on the ridges at will. Since you have no air support less than 10 minutes away, turns into a very frustrating fight. The tank guys really don't want to do a joint services base capture as much as they want to tank town it like CraterMA. A box of Lancs and a good jabo can take down the VH, then clean up the tiger(s), and then what?? The GV guys just want to sit on the ridge and long range other tanks. TigerII are impervious to 88 AP past 4000yds dropping in from the top. TigerII on the ridge are taking under the nose and die just like every other tank.
The open flat plain that has to be traversed to get into town for cover is a perfect killing zone for a hidden TigerII sitting in the town. Went through this one night with a half dozen guys trying to kill a single TigerII sitting in town. Our TigerII were being killed by his rounds hitting under the front of the armor as they sat up on the ridge. Theirs just bounced off him at 5000yds. Another night the airfield had a TigerII in town with air support upping. The air support killed the tanks while the TigerII cleaned out the wirble protecting the tanks.
I suspect changing the terrain between the foot of the ridge and the edge of town to include trees and hiding spots would make the fight more attractive to GVers.

It is a great place for dogfights. Leave it alone.
Additionally, add this feature to every map.
-
Better look again. There is only one airfield and 3 V bases.
-
Please enable il-2 Ju-87g2 and Hurricane ll d at the vbases

Peters has something there, but only for those specific vbases :aok
