Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1) (Part 1)

Taiwan isn’t a sub tree same how East Germany isn’t, you should really call it the Republic of China.

Like it even says ROCAF on their F-16’s

Fun fact, since national variant flags (e.g. Kingom of Italy) aren’t nation locked, they are functionally equal to subtrees and even one off addition nations as far as the game itself is concerned.

Only out of game (news, forums, etc.) do they give us official info on how it’s really set up.

As long as Air gets some 200x200 love I’m game.

Suggestions of maps possibly able to be recreated to be added:

  • The full Dover Strait map, including parts of Kent (UK) and more of France’s northern regions
  • The actual to-scale map of the Falkland Islands…
  • Greater Caucasus (Georgia/Russia)
  • Crimean Peninsula (WWII)
  • Pyrenees

…and so many more that I could list but won’t else I’d be here all day. Basically, bigger maps, please?

Man I wish we had the channel map again especially for top tier

RAF Valley/north wales would be an interesting map too

Would love to see this new game mode but with Atlantic or pacific map. With refreshed AI we can see full scale carrier battles (both AI and future player controlled) ai and player submarines, ship convoys and flotillas, islands with landing forces tanks and AA placements aircraft and ships spawns at your own choice

+1 for Mach Loop, always see Hawks and some Typhoons and F-15E’s on flight radar up there. Planning on going up there myself for a day with my new camera once the weather gets better.

Yeah, exactly, would be fun. The right balance of valley terrain and flat areas I think, with room for carriers too

quick off topic, what did you get?

Kinda like this?

This is essentially the East-West version of Dover Strait and could easily fit within 200x200 km.

Got a Canon EOS 1200D with a 75-300mm lens from my grandad that he doesn’t use anymore for some planespotting when it’s quiet at work or when it’s clear on the weekends.

Some results so far

But I got a bought a better lens that turned up just today but I haven’t had chance to test it out yet. A Sigma 150-500mm OS for dirt cheap.

Its a smaller area than I thought.

Spoiler

Was picturing something like this but its only about 80x80 ish.

But the Irish sea angle is kinda interseting, though would really need some interesting new naval objectives

How about the area around Coningsby that would be something or Lossiemouth

That or if it’s shifted to the right and down could get pretty much the entirety of Wales in which would have a mixture of flat terrain, valleys, coastlines and varying mountains. Also some cool points of interest like our castles dotted about.

Nice, Id have to block you if it was Nikon :P

Spoiler

A Sigma 150-500 is my current high zoom telephoto, though looking at going to 150-600 at some point. but the 500 lets you get some awesome photos and being a cropped sensor, 500 actually equals 750-800mm of zoom compared to my full frame sensor, so you can get a lot tighter than me with the same lens

EF lenses are going cheap at the moment as people swap to R lenses. The 600mm Im looking at was £300-£500 more expensive last year

Scotland would be a good shout, same kind of mix of valley and open terrain, plenty of ocean for carrier.

@Smin1080p_WT Any chance you could pass on this report so that the devs are aware of it please?

The replay mode has had issues with games that last over 20-30 minutes for a while now but it’s even more prevalent with the Nuclear Thunder event where none of the replay files work correctly. Currently they either stop playing or cause the client to crash after anywhere between 15-50 minutes. This making it impossible to capture the end of a game in the event.

not at top ranks

they arent at top ranks, they’re mid tier
