You have created possibly the most immersive CT environment I've seen yet!

The map is great and seems bug free (and I love the killable trees

).
The skins REALLY make this set-up work.
The match-up is good.
This entire set-up is unique, much like Finlands involvement in the war.

Thank you!
I'm having a blast and it seems that many others are too.

i agree.. damn fine map.. terrain, bases, trees...... setup is very good and the skins are the frosting on this...

it is a little fps intensive (on par with pizza map) but it's livable with.

I agree but I just gotta learn to fly those silly Russan airplanes :-(

So why early war?

Joining the crowd of happy people,,,,,,,great job;)

Thank you very much, brothers!;)

I enjoy to fight with you, except Eskimo, who's shoot me down about hundred times yesterday!:D

If you see bugs (there are!) inform me, please. Let's meet today in the CT, too!

And if it's possible, fly Russian planes when there is full of Finns. You understand we like to fly FINNS/ROOKS because this map is very important of us and it's first time it's on CT...

I understand fully,but my father fought the russian in the early
stage 39/40,he was a danish voulenteer,,does that count as half Finn.

It was only two times!

I always try to fly the side with the lowest numbers. Last night I started out as a Ruskie because they were greatly outnumbered, then switched to Finn when they were outnumbered 2:1. Eventually it evened out a few times, but the Russians seamed to hold numbers most of the night. (I do often forget to look at the numbers though). This set-up is very playable even when out-numbered, it has a good front line to spread the fighting out on.

I feel that my aimning is off for any reason in the CT.
It might be cause of new background or what ever. Did soem 1 else have the same problem ?

Kantorri Great Wonderfull Super

Thank u very very much for ur work.

CurtissP-6EHawk · « **Reply #12 on:** December 15, 2002, 02:29:42 PM »

kanttori,
I have noticed some bugs like GVs spawning N will actually put you west and W will actually put you north at some fields. Why is a Port an Airfield? Ack guns on city buildings remain suspended in mid air when you destroy the building they are on. You probably already know about these. I love the trees and hope a new PTO map will be mad with 100% jungle to prevent the lame ditching instead of bailing. I refer to the ditching in a friendly area. These are not important but just a thought.
Regards,
Hawk

Agreed, this map is awesome!
Flying with this historical matchup is much better than the usual furballs in the MA.
I also stumbled into a mission run by the finns. Allthough I didn´t understand a word of their chatter, this sortie had been the most fun I had for a long time!
I suppose this week I´ll fly CT only.

~~kanttori, keep up the great work and please bring out a map like this suited for the MA~~

kanttori · « **Reply #14 on:** December 15, 2002, 07:09:33 PM »

Curtiss P6-EHawk: Ports and airfields are together, because they all are very important historical bases.

For ex. P71 (Finland) Kymi Airfield was Lentolaivue 34's homebase and Kotka town was at the same time very big fleet port and Finlands main import/export cargo ships port.

Russian P2 contains Oranienbaum's big airbase and Kronstadt's Baltic Sea Fleet base. Murmansk (A37) and Kirkenes (A41) had the same stories.

If I put both ports and airbases, the map is too full on those areas. Ok?

Heimdall, I am planning with Lentolaivue 34's CO Camouflage making BIG 1:1 map to Main Arena from the FinRus map's south parts: Gulf of Finland, Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega areas.

Map's size should be like Desert map 512 x 512 miles (about 800 x 800 km) and it's fields should be on historical places. There were enough airbases 60 years ago make the map playable and at the same time historical, too.

3 sides in this map are: Finland in the west, Russia in the east and Germany in the South.

We are going to balance the fields so that it is playable both MA's fair setup and CT/SEA's historical setups.

We are creating there very much big and little lakes, rivers and waterways between smooth hill landscapes and forestes. Here and there are little villages and towns, too.

The current FinRus map has only 16 different variations of little lakes, but the new one should have about 400 variations! I have a very secret system to create them!
