Title: anyone got details of the new terrain?
Post by: faminz on May 21, 2002, 07:18:41 PM
I think the 'discussion' about the 4xbuff is missing one variable. I believe that if the terrain changes to be MUCH larger then we currently have then there will either be more targets or longer distances. Either way I think its swinging towards emphasizing strategy and I for one think thats a good thing.

However I dont know anything about this terrain bar theat someone mentioned it would be 512x512. What does that mean?
512 miles square? If so thats about 20 sectors (of 25miles across) by 20 sectors. 400 sectors ... is that more than we currently have?

HT given any hints out about the type of terrain? Will we get named fields (I loathe these A12, B24 tags...), will it be fantasy geography or based on real geography?

anyone know anything else?

The MA maps currently in use are 256x256 miles... the new maps are 512x512 miles that means you could fit 4 of the current MA maps within one of the new maps.

You mean I might just have to take more than the usuall 25% fuel load in my Lanc or B-17? hehe I was wondering when they were going to make us use the 75% or 100% loadouts, and its going to be a pain to get up like that :eek:
