Baco Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 I must agree its a no brainier to do at least Kuwait and northern Iraq. It is pure DCS stuff. And we don´t need it as part of the same map (all tho it would be awesome I understand its technically not viable), it could be a separate loading map where they use the same frame and only load the Kuwait Iraq detailed area... But anyhow.. it looks like is going to be in our Wish list for a while...

JayBird Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 This is where ED confuses me with their decision making. We have 2007 era or earlier aircraft, but maps that make no sense. Yes, the Strait is a powder keg, that is without question especially lately. But what were our jets doing in the era they're modelled around? Flying over Southern Iraq and Afghanistan. Afghanistan has been "announced" as has Syria, but we likely won't see these for a couple more years. Hopefully, this upcoming free map is something to get excited about, because, for me, PG and the Caucuses are boring, and no one seems has Nevada or Normandy, or at least wants to fly them.

Gianky Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 +1 for this map. I actually hope it'll be the new free map, it would make a lot of sense and and lot of people happy.

Exorcet Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 I get that people like historical conflict, but I don't understand why hypothetical wars are so undervalued. The Persian Gulf map probably should have included Iraq, when it was named for the straight, that made more sense. In any case though, I find the Hormuz region to be a fantastic map for DCS. It's fairly large, good for land and sea combat, and it's a plausible area for war to breakout, even if it hasn't happened yet (and hopefully never will). The map even provides some nice scenery for civil or free flight. I'd absolutely welcome a Gulf War map, but I find that Hormuz is just as valuable. Now if they combined Hormuz with Iraq/Saudi/Qatar into one map, that would be revolutionary.

Gianky Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Nothing wrong with the Strait of Hormuz or with hypothetical conflict (in fact, I love them), just saying that it'd be great to have Iraq/Kuwait, too! And yeah, it'd be great to have a big area with the three maps: Hormuz, Iraq, Syria.... Just imagine that! Oh, wait: Afghanistan is nearby, too! :)
DmitriKozlowsky Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Punitive campaign against Hezbollah, for 1983 Beirut Marine Barracks , and French peacekeepers compound.
Stratos Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 The area will be included in the Syria map, apart from the era you mentioned, it will be amazing for Mole Cricket Op. or SAM hunter in the Bekaa valley in 1982. 1 I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
SkHiTech Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Iraq and Kuwait are the natural progression for Persian Gulf map, I think it would be super fun to play and an enourmus source of historical/fictional missions to be created. +1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Tracer1 Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 I Just wanted to add my support to this request as well. I was so disappointed with this map. I was expecting to fly missions over Iraq, not Iran. I hope they change the name of this map to Southern Persian Gulf and create a Northern one. What would be even better is if they could extend this one north to widen the battlefield. That would be amazing. Hopefully someone from ED is listening 1

Pikey Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 You will get the top half with the Syria map with a Israel-Syria-Lebanon area. For the bottom half, despite the interest in Egypt borders i think skipping south to West Yemen is what I suggest as it also contains a major US base in Djibouti and bases shared by other nations and has a massive melting pot of nationalities in a combat arena. Unfortunately most of the combat hotspots are broken up and will never be able to be put together. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *

-Scrat- Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 +1 It would be very nice if ED could extend the actual map further North to include Kuwait, Iraq etc..
enzel_87 Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Hello everyone. Now that the supercarrier module has been launched, I can't think of anything better than two types of incredible scenarios to recreate the missions carried out by the United States in the Afghanistan and Iraq scenarios. It would be great to have both maps or at least one of them. We also know that in the near future, the F14A, F4 pahntom, Hind and Mig23 will be released. All these aircraft, added to the two scenarios of Afghanistan and Iraq, would give hundreds of possibilities to carry out realistic missions. It occurs to me, that both maps could be a continuation of the current Persian Gulf map.:bounce: CPU: I7 7820X RAM: 32GB 4133Mhz GPU: GTX 1080 TI Water Cooling: Custom EKWB <3
Silver_Dragon Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Afganistan Mas was planned some years ago, but put "on hold". Irak actually has not planned yet (someone talk about waiting to "whole map").

enzel_87 Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Having the world map would be great. When is it expected to become a reality? CPU: I7 7820X RAM: 32GB 4133Mhz GPU: GTX 1080 TI Water Cooling: Custom EKWB <3
DthFrmAbv Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Absolutely never :lol: Taking into account how long the development of the (actually quite tiny) maps took - just interpolate and you'll see we'd talk about decades.

enzel_87 Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 So I hope they get one of the two maps out someday... CPU: I7 7820X RAM: 32GB 4133Mhz GPU: GTX 1080 TI Water Cooling: Custom EKWB <3
Baco Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 Most logical next map would be this area... Would alowd a compleate simulation of desert Shield, Desert Storm, + a lot of the main battles of the Irak Iran War And part of the Invasion of Irak and even what if counter ISIS operations, even thow the areas depicted were not afected that much. 8

joey45 Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 Yeah, something with a big of green would be nice.. 1 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
