Buzzsaw Map

More better than 120.

Was just curious. Had a whole 5 min of free time. It's just a 1 second snap shot.

If/when I run a poll, my bet is buzzsaw will not fair well.

Once you’re playing in a map its kinda fine. But the visual as a whole on clipboard it has an arcade-ish visual, and me thinks it has its negative effect on numbers. Its very gamey looking.

No disrespect intended to the hard work of the creator, but IMO its time to go.

I have no clue of the reasoning to keep it and 1-2 others.

The map is backwards, center is all the high alt bases so the only place all 3 countries interact is at high alts which brings nothing but pick and run style. The outer edges have the low bases but give only one  on one team action and if your not on one of the teams fighting on the boarder your left alone on the other side of the map Far too many ports and not enough fields to defend them as the first thing players do is send the CV off so they dont get captured hen the port falls And with the numbers these days it never gets to "Critical Mass" . Last night was even worst with the scenario running drawing more number out of the MA.

We have seen maps retired for many reasons its time for this one to go.

Well to be honest, I don’t notice because I rarely play on it. I’m one of those who “meh!”

I totally agree, especially with the ports... the outer ports make 0 sense. 2 ports right next to each other with no airfield. No where to fight besides the middle.
 
It always draws the lowest #s.

I'm not sure what it would take to get hitech to remove that map.

Seems nothing short of a miracle is required for any kind of change or edit...just his opinion on the subject here would go miles..just as his silence is disheartening and discouraging

Nope. One single word of possibilities or one single negative players blow the bbs up with 1000 requests and ideas, off subject. Don’t blame him one bit for some silence. In any other situation you’re right.

Some people love buzzsaw and I can’t understand why. My assumption is that it’s favored by bomber pilots and GV guys because of the easy access to strats?

I don’t really begrudge people their selections. If you want to bomb, GV, or dogfight. Do so.

My major gripe really comes from folks avoiding engagement with other players which is the fundamental point of an online game. The strat locations on Buzzsaw seem to promote milk runs where peeps are just blowing stuff up that doesn’t really shoot back. I find myself seeking engagement more on buzzsaw than actually fighting which is probably why the map irks me.

Logged on yesterday. Low numbers. I fly a brew. Looked for a fight. One base had two incoming. Two P47s. No matter what I did they would not engage. They had the altitude. Ran to the base ack.
Low nuumbers, no would fight...

2 jugs, had the advantage that ran... against a brew

Logged off.

Remember, we do have new players goin up against vets with decades of experience.. could be some avoiding slaughter. That said, I’m often found flying into 5-1 fights. :)
