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. 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

If that cover Guam and all archipielago islands, that can be big.

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?!

All islands was part of Marianas Pacific Campaing..... including marine invasions.

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?

It looks amazing the new map. Looking forward to flying from YaK-52 or Helicopter to see the smallest details of the map.

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. ;)

Potentially a huge map with minimum effort as islands are small. A win win for both us and developers

No MAC in DCS:World? Very conflicted about that part in the news. Part of me never wanted more FC3 in DCS, another part longed for more. :3

What does it mean

" Modern Air Combat

- Modern Air Combat will not be a DCS World product "

 

??

Could anyone explain, please ??
