Title: What did you think of HERVE?

Tell us what you think of the terrain? Fight times, Spawn locations, Flak Bases?

I had a great time was my first one. I was shot down a lot but filmed it will see what happened. The map was good not long between my many deaths. Thanks for hosting!

I thought it was a fun time, though I would still like to see the air spawns at 5k as the majority of the fighting is 5k and under.

Thank you. The Islands surrounding the main two islands have different Altitude Air Spawns Clockwise going 1K, 5K, 10K, 15K, 20K. (IIRC).

The idea will be to use different altitude air spawns for different challenges or other events.

Like the airspawns. Hate that the vast majority of the fighting takes place in the wave tops or tree tops anyway. There are directions other than down!

I'm the worst pilot out there, but I got 2 kills  to start (hehehe Noman  :devil ) and landed them. Overall my best CC. Thanx for putting it all together Nef!

That terrain is the only one that i know of that has bomber air spawns on it (in black) so if anyone wanted to practice bombing you could load it into a player arena and air launch and bomb some CV's or bases.  It's what we used to practice bombing ships last FSO.  :aok

At the moment, I hated the powerful puffy ack, but looking back on the eb-and-flow of the event, I think it's a great idea to provide a "warning" to players that combat has slipped to one side or the other. . .

Maybe a little more separate north/south between bases would keep the action centered a little more... Either way, I thought the terrain was fine, icon range perfect, and the bad guys relentless.

Altitude on air spawns is just fine, I'd rather go down hill fast than up-hill just to play.   :cheers:

The idea was to prevent camping of the air spawns which has been an issue since the start of the event, first it was airfields, then spawn points.

Hopefully the ack will keep me from having to warn people, especially if  it's dialed up a bit from MA standard.

Nef,

I thought the terrain was great! The puffy was perfect. My squaddies and I launched one time to see an enemy con high over head, "Not in Icon range", taking punishment from Ack. He must have died be cause his plane was belching smoke, likely a pilot wound. That may have been a CM test, which was a good test, but the results were pretty apparent.  You can come to the enemy spawn for a minute, but you're not going to stay.

My only observation that could result in change would be the amount of battle space between spawn points. Moving at 350 to 475 mph in some cases sure closes the distance on those spawn points rapidly. Other than that...

Great Job Kanth!!!

Ahem. You were the 1st, followed by another, and then I landed because you're plane was a bullet sponge. (or I missed a lot, lol) Total 4 kills and an assist or 2. I cut out about the last 40, 45 min.
