Tank50us Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 So, what is the actual planned area of this map exactly? What islands will be be available to us? Does anyone actually know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Initially 400x400km... https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/254464-official-news/?do=findComment&comment=4124781 Quote These new naval elements to DCS World will be at home in the recently announced Mariana Islands map. Although the island portion of the map will be approximately 400x400 km, the overall map size will be 1000x1000 km in order to provide realistic ranges for modern-day naval operations, sensors, and weapon systems.

Northstar98 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Yeah, initially 400x400km, though you can upscale it to something like 2000x1000km without adding any significant workload, even including all the land mass (the entirety of the Marianas has less area than Qeshm island on the SoH map).

It'll still be neat to do some campaigns that are set in the far east, rather than just having to imagine it with the existing maps. And yeah, I can understand what ya mean, sure there's some large islands in that region, but the small total landmass allows for more area to be covered with little or no CPU hardship *knocks on wood* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jockcop Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 With more and more naval jets, the super carrier, Kunetsev, multi crew and long range weapons, a naval bases map is gonna be great. Now if I could just get ED to make a naval helicopter... Modules- F15, F18, Spitfire, Mirage F1, Persian Gulf, Normandy 2.0, Syria, WW2 assets.

3WA Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) This could be the next ARMA if ED would go with Vehicle and Infantry simulation. The Dream of a lot of people I know. A REALISTIC / SIM level ARMA. Plus, you could sell the shit out of it to military's the World over. Edited February 18, 2021 by 3WA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
