Husker.fr Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Hello fellows flyers I read a lot about the Mariana island and Guadalcanal but i think the map to get on the pacific theater should be the Salomons... The slots was one of the most contested location in the pacific for at least 2 years. On the North side there is Rabaul (the Gibraltar of the pacific) and to the south Guadalcanal and in the middle, Vella Lavella (home of the VMF 214). It would suits land bases operations and naval operations on both side and all the planes you could think of that era had been flown there...

You forgot about a notable battle in the Solomons campaign, Guadalcanal. It is one of the Solomon Islands. The real question though is how big should the map be?

ED has the Marianas WW2 map half done, only WW2 pacific structures and assets are yet to be finished, so any other map, like WW2 Solomon map, must wait for Marianas WW2 to be released first.

True, but the Solomons would still be a good map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED has working on Marianas WW2, show on "2024 and Beyond" video. The next WW2 map by ED has unkonow actualy, others 3rd parties as Ugra Media has no talking about your next map (Modern or WW2).

Qcumber Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I'm hoping that one of the new "green" maps hinted at by Wags will be a ww2 map but I think that's just wishful thinking. 5800x3d: rtx4070: 64Gb 3200: 1Tb NVME: Pico 4: Rift S: Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing not. I think the ww2 thing is so separate that it doesn't count and the complaint about sand maps is a jet based thing as we have no warbirds sand maps. Looks like the one green map will be central Europe cold war. I'm guessing the second green map will be Balkans. I don't think it will be Korea as there is so little Korea war era assets in DCS. i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 3090, 64Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.

Especially if it projects south and west to Sicily and Malta. 5800x3d: rtx4070: 64Gb 3200: 1Tb NVME: Pico 4: Rift S: Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To some degree it could be used for ww2, much like Kola(though no allied bases to take off from) I think a Balkan map would include parts of Italy for no other reason that that seems to be were most NATO jets were placed. i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 3090, 64Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.
