What br bracket would be most realistic for the falklands war, 11.3-10.3? Would get most of the early harriers which would be present in the war, mainly the squadron harrier. Although j7e/mig 23 kinda dominates that bracket
I’d say 9.7 to 10.7 with the FRS1e being the Falklands fit and the Nesher (Dagger) being at 10.0
It’s actually a rather decent bracket for the shar as well, as the FRS1 is stupidly over BRed for SB and the Mig23MLD is under BRed
The only way they could make it fit within 128 km by 128 km would be to either crop the island down, or scale it down.
Unless we got maps bigger than 128km² that people have been asking for for years
They are too lazy and cheap :(
I spoke to a developer about this years ago. The answer I got back then was that the game engine didn’t like maps much bigger than 128x128. I think it was that common issue with game engines where the further you get away from 0,0 be less precise some physics calculations become, and if you get too far away, the effects start to become noticeable.
IIRC he said the issue can be solved, but it is non-trivial and back then it was deemed not worth the effort as 128 x128 was plenty big enough for props and early jets.
That said, Norway is 128x164 or something odd like that, and the empty ocean map is 256x256. So I guess it might be possible.

Yeah, and youd hope they’d work on improving the code to handle bigger maps eventually anyway.
Typhoon in 128km² maps is rather dull because you instantly get into combat with no real transit time or time to react. Even in the subsonic Shar I find the maps too small quite often.
Being a healthy amount of ocean should also help too.
The airfields could also remain 128km apart roughly fairly easily too

Imagine wanting a map in planes that super cruise at mach jesus more then 50km wide…
Man 128 km maps sounds big until youre going mach 2.2 and covering 2000kmph…

Take off, fire amraams , land repeat
You have to have already launched your AMRAAMS before you even rertact your flaps or get the take-off RP if you’re going vertical
