twistking Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Could Hawai AND midway go onto one single map, or would the area be to big?

nighthawk2174 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Maybe, but, there's not a whole lot of terrain. And if its the size of the detailed terrain area that's the limiting factor it could be possible. If I had to make a guess, WWII wise, somewhere more towards Oceania would make more sense or somewhere near the south china sea. edit: tbh the south china sea region is not as big as I thought: Edited December 22, 2019 by nighthawk2174 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistking Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 thanks for the map. how did you do the size overlays? well, hawai and midway makes less sense than i thought, now i see the distance. for wwii the distance is way too big and even for modern scenarios it's a bit much... sadly...

twistking Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Is there a real Christmas gift from ED on December 25?We all hope so It's safe to say, that they won't drop another content patch, after last weeks push, especially now with most of their team going into winter holidays. Let's hope for a reveal though. There is so much content on the backlog (weather, assets, maps obviously and some unannounced features), that it'd make for a very beefy newletter with the possibility of some big reveals... To be honest, i'd be really dissapointed if the next newsletter would not come with the free map reveal and some other long awaited informations...

Be aware that we were told last week that the ED team, being mostly based in Russia, don't start their winter break until the end of the month. Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting anything, but it is possible that we'll get another patch next week.

tugais Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Some time ago, on this thread or another one where a lot of suggestions were made by community members, Wags intervened and told that he didn't read the right answer. Hawaï and Korea were among these suggestions so I suppose we can forget these theaters as the next free map. Guadalcanal would be great for a WWII context but it would not fit a modern era. Guam was a strategic position that saw combat in 1941 and 1944 during WWII and still has significance today. The Mariana Islands could be a good candidate. My most anticipated theater would be Taiwan ; the island serves perfectly all the scenarios. In WWII when the Island was called Formose and nowadays as a growing possible flashpoint between US and China. Taiwan operates Mirage 2000, F-5, F-16, a growing number of US hardware and will welcome US warships in its ports. On the opposite side we have a J-11, a JF-17, the China Asset Pack with more and more hardware added to it. I do realize there is virtually zero chance this is the free map. 3rd Wing | 55th Black Alligators * BA-33 Εις ανηρ ουδεις ανηρ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71st_Mastiff Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Is there a real Christmas gift from ED on December 25?
