Map required: Baltic Sea


C_W_S

Recommended Posts

We are getting spoilt for choice regarding maps now, with new locations coming thick and fast.  However, I feel that the Baltic Sea has been too long neglected!  We have plenty of appropriate aircraft and (above all) Soviet-era smaller ships to populate such a map.  Geopolitically, it's certainly a hot spot - both during the cold war and now.  It would be a really interesting place especially for the Viggen, where it would be able to carry out the very missions which it was designed to perform.  Also, would make for a beautiful map if the Swedish and Åland/SW Finland archipelagos could be included.  Something like this:

The major airbases of Ronneby, Linköping, Uppsala and Kaliningrad are on this map, the naval bases of Karlskrona, Berga and Kaliningrad and plenty of the purpose-built stretches of public highway in Sweden which the Viggen so loves to land on 🙂

Please, please, please Development Team, take note!!!

This really has the potential to be the next big map in DCS.  It covers a very large area, but a lot of it is water which is great for carrier ops (even though it's unrealistic that a US carrier group would ever enter such a confined space...) and not any major urban areas at all.  Stockholm is not very big in comparison to London or a continental capital city...

It's reasonably flat compared to the Caucasus, but that didn't stop the Viggen pilots of old from using terrain masking tactics!  Child's play, compared to zooming out over the sea at 10m in search of Soviet ships...

Ask Heatblur they once had such an idea (especially during the release of Viggen) 👍, unfortunately, maps for DCS appear very rarely. It is a very long process, it takes several years from the idea. Now it will be Afghanistan, maybe 2H of 2023, I guess.
