JUICE-AWG Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Would the Scale of the Philippine Islands and New Guinea with all the atolls be scalable? The region to be effective in DCS would have to be 1600 miles by 1200 miles at a minimum to make anything of strategic value. Anything less and you are basically on the ocean and will have to use ships. "There are only two types of aircraft, Fighters and Targets."

probad Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 unfortunately only the guys who made this board knows, as I ran that text through every known translator and nothing came up. it's probably fake writing. a fake language that somehow over 1.2 billion people speak :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Fenrir Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 My bet? Adriatic. WW2 ops out of Italy into Yugoslavia would fit our current WW2 plane set, whilst also encompassing the whole former Yugoslavia troubles in the '90s which is also a good fit for our late Cold War generation of modern combat aircraft.

Hamel Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 With the Chinese assists, how about the East China Seas. Cover the Chinese south east coast, Taiwan, up to Okinawa or southern Japan. Lots of blew water ops! If artillery is the finger of God, then fast air is Gods hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas9970 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I think that it might be Singapore. It checks all the boxes. Absolutely beautiful so it could be Wags's favourite place to fly in real life. It was a warzone in the World war 2. It could be a good fit for multiplayer matches. It has a sea so it's suitable for both land based and carrier ops. It expands into a new part of the world. Singapore's official language is Chinese which fits the sign posted above (maybe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of blew water ops! :thumbup: Yes and we can still use it as an exercise area.Carrier Groups train there often.Could also be modern day conflict if they include Korea. Fits both modern day and WWII era.Lots of US bases.Lots of water. Speedtrees for Japan of course! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bephott Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Do we know if the new free map will be a modern map or a WW2 map? I would be happy to see a Cold War-era Cuba and South Florida map, that would be beautiful! My other bets are: Korea and the Bering Strait.

MobiSev Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Do we know if the new free map will be a modern map or a WW2 map? I would be happy to see a Cold War-era Cuba and South Florida map, that would be beautiful! My other bets are: Korea and the Bering Strait. Evidently one of the criteria according to Wags (cant find the post, but i know he said it) they have for the free map is it having the ability to be applicable to both WW2 and Modern. For example, the current Caucasus map can do both modern and WW2 (Battle of Kuban). Has the Philippines area been suggested yet?

I think given the carrier focus it makes the most sense. and its a current hotspot, and would be in WW2 as well. Plus I think they can make island maps fairly easily, much less land to render.

Yeah, it would fit most criteria, but to be applicable to WW2, shouldn't we have a Zero module (at least in development)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeriaGloria Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) has to be WWII applicable,, was mentioned before this on post 90 of this thread It's always a team decision with our company owner and our CEO having final say. While still too early to announce, key elements of the map must include: 1- Can be converted to both modern day and WWII use. 2- Low overhead, high performance. 3- Geographically laid out to best suit multiplayer matches. 4- Suited for both land-based and carrier ops. 5- Expand into a new part of the world.

Harlikwin Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Yeah, it would fit most criteria, but to be applicable to WW2, shouldn't we have a Zero module (at least in development)? M3 has a F4U corsair in development. An AI zero would be enough for that. Also the P51 did fly in the pacific at the end of the war IIRC. My other guess for a pacific theatre is the Kamchatka peninusula and Kurile islands. The russians did invade there right at the end of WW2.

Kylian717 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 For pacific we need p-38 I think the P-38 have no place in Pacific at this moment. We need Japoneese and Americans plane like F4U, Wildcat, Avanger, Dauntless ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_P-38_Lightning The P-38 was used most successfully in the Pacific Theater of Operations and the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations as the aircraft of America's top aces, Richard Bong (40 victories), Thomas McGuire (38 victories) and Charles H. MacDonald (27 victories). In the South West Pacific theater, the P-38 was the primary long-range fighter of United States Army Air Forces until the appearance of large numbers of P-51D Mustangs toward the end of the war.

pngflyer Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) What about Australia? Specifically the North (Darwin, Tindal, Weipa, Cape York) WW2 - Significant allied (Australia, US) airbases located in these areas. Also suffered Japanese air raids, with RAAF fighters launched against the raiders. Bombers also flew from these areas, as well as Beaufighters, P-40’s, Spitfires and many other types. Modern - Current RAAF bases at Tindal and Darwin, both of which get super busy for operations like Pitch Black. Exercises in the area make use of the huge Delamere range/air space. This would be great for the Hornet (75 sqn based here), and for the Mirage iii (the RAAF operated the iiio) when that comes. The area regularly hosts F-16’s, C-130’s, B-52’s, Hornets, Harriers and many others. Even Mirage 2000’s... A new map in this area would also bring a variety of landscapes and a tropical environment which would be new to DCS. There is a huge amount of interesting coastline, without many major population centres to drag down frame rates. Tropical coast, dessert, lush rainforest and plenty of water for carrier ops. How about huge tropical storms as the DCS weather engine matures over time... What do we think? pngflyer Edited August 7, 2019 by pngflyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Bridges Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Ok let me have a guess too: Manchuria Would at least perfectly fit the I-16 (Kalkhin Gol is close enough), the other requirements too (Soviet China tensions Mig 19 21 etc and many modern conflicts too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
