Lenux Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) So, Mariana Island is the secret map ? It looks amazing, but imo, it's pretty small. 388 square miles. About the size of L.A. ? Even smaller.

Even smaller. LOL Disappointed I would wait for the newsletter to go live before passing judgement. This FREE map will bring some great game play to DCS. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

twistking Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 If the area would indeed stretch up to pagan island (or further) that would be absoulutely fantastic, as pagan has an active airstrip. I'm really excited about this map. i was hoping for midway/hawaii, but this could be as good!! :thumbup: I just hope, we'd also get a WWII retrofit of the map. Maybe too much to ask though?! My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
Silver_Dragon Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 All those islands together.... the size is pretty small, imo All islands was part of Marianas Pacific Campaing..... including marine invasions.

Reflected Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I can't believe how some people are always disappointed, no matter ED announces or shows us. These screenshots look amazing, a refreshing change from everything we currently have in DCS. Oh, and all this for free? Looking forward to the details in the newsletter!

twistking Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) What war scenerio does this map present? Who are the blue and red forces? the red forces are vulcanos, or vulcanic islands (evil), the blue forces are good oldfashioned islands without fancy vulcanic activity.

QuiGon Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 the red forces are vulcanos, or vulcanic islands (evil), the blue forces are good oldfashioned islands without fancy vulcanic activity. Will vulcanos be functional in the new map? If so, will Fox2s lock on them?

Tom Kazansky Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 And for those who find the map too small: it is 36,000 feet deep. Ok we still have to wait for drivable subs in combined arms to benefit from this. ;)

Bersagliere81 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Potentially a huge map with minimum effort as islands are small.
