New DCS Theater Maps Wish Wish List

[Kaktus29]

where would you like the new theater to be? apart from Georgia and Crimea, where would you like it for a good high intensive war of equal strong opponents?

 

I am thinking of the European theater .. in the future, something like 2020, .. with Europe on the brink, .. tensions going up, and all kind of alliances set in motion, Germany goes solo, goes out of EU, USA threatens economic blockade and sanctions against this unilateral move by Germany, Italy joins Germany, .. on the other hand UK, France and US join together to impose the economic blockade (which is all to easy to implement because of US Navy which is too huge to be countered by anyone) ..

 

Germany threatens WAR if blockade not lifted since the blockade is pretty much a war declaration on its own, and their trade with China is suffering, and even supplies with oil and gas from Russia being threatened to be cut off by Poland who uses this opportunity to gain prestige in the potential victory over Germany and joining the US axis ..

 

 

Russia and China becoming sympathetic to Germany and like to help but for the moment they are just bystanders..

 

And then all breaks loose, with one plane getting shot while spying above Germany, Germans go into action against France, Poland, .. cruise missiles flying all over the place, Leopards, Leclercs and all kind of puma's animals are set loose .. After US lands with expeditionary forces in France, at this time Russia joins the fray, together with China giving the troops needed to push the opposing forces to Germany into submission and end the resistance in Europe..

 

Why do i like this theater so much? because for one, its much more interesting fighting in target rich environment.. and Europe has sooo much stuff to blow up)) lol.. also, it has it all, the Sea to do navy stuff, the coast to do Carrier ops and Land bases efforts to kill of the carrier groups..and the atlantic navy war if China and Germany and Russia try some small scale incursions with subs and their navy to engage the US..

 

It would be a much bigger project than this "campaigns" fought in Georgia theater in DCS, ..or Crimea that never felt like a real war, more of a skirmish here and there..

 

 

What do you guys think?

 

What theater would you prefer?)(and of course the maps would be different)) can you imagine dropping bombs in modern Frankfurt, or Paris, .. or that bloody leaning Pisa Tower in Italy))) ) .. Other theaters don't appeal to me since its just desert and nothing .. Afghanistan, Iraq, .. Libya, .. also, nobody can challenge the attacker in those conditions(Russia, China, maybe even Germany, .. ) since there are no naval capabilities to do something like that?..

[dumgrunt]

frankly I think the Aegean would be a better theatre, a more likely place of conflict (as in 0.1% as suppose to 0.000001% ;) ), and a natural expansion to the current theatre.

 

just don't do what those BI devs did and get caught!

[tintifaxl]

I'd like to see Iran, Iraq, Balkans, Afghanistan or Korea as new theater of war.

 

Ah what the heck, give us an extended Georgia map (part of Turkey and the Crimea added) in EDGE and I'd be content.

[Kaktus29]

yes, i agree about which is more probable ..but not also interesting.. i mean, who would like to fly in the potential iranian conflict? .. if you are american you can do all the damage by pressing buttons and launching tomahawks, and if you are iranian you have to hope that enemy invades you by infantry so you could get closer enough to kill something ..

 

on the other hand, Germany vs. France,UK, USA + Russia, China afterwards joining Germany? ..get out of here.. that would be interesting as hell, not to mention very hard to play, with all the sophisticated missiles and weapons aiming to destroy you...

 

i'm bored by this small conflicts and small wars that are more or less "a controlled slaughter houses" ..

 

Give us EU theater ))

[BIGNEWY]

Why does it have to be real ?

 

What about making a large map area that is fictitious, but has everything we all want, urban, desert, jungle, forest's and of-course the sea :)

 

any thing to get out of Georgia lol !!!

sorry I disagree! Another "Sahrani ", "Poopootistan" or similar "fictional five vegetation zones in a 100 square miles area" is simply another war game! That is why most Sims try to accurately model a "real" environment.

 

I prefer any Afghanistan, Iraq or Balkans map with accurate cities and street grids over that. :thumbup:

I don't really care what geographic region we get, it just needs to be considerably bigger (3-4 times bigger )than what we have now. Fingers crossed EDGE will allow such things. Also a spherical "world" that allows for correct coordinate grids and proper curvature of the earth etc is much needed.

 

We need a theater that a fighter/attack aircraft can't fly across on internal fuel without needing tanker support.

 

In an ideal world we'd have a full spherical representation of entire earth, with areas that aren't yet modeled just being flat like the "off map" area are in the current theater, which would allow ED and 3rd parties to add areas of terrain, of any size, bit by bit.

I would like to see a new theater taking in scandinavia, the baltic states etc, basically northern europe.

[ALDEGA]

Italy joins Germany

UK, France and US join together

Sounds familiar somehow ... :D

[danilop]

Detailed map of Europe, definitely (including European part of Russia and Turkey) - the possibilities for political and military scenarios are endless and the geographic features are just perfect for flying.

[Madone]

Personally, I'm for a realistic scenario, a conflict in Europe :no_sad: not for now, I would prefer an Afghanistan or Iran theather for sure.

I know that a French bud was working on 3DSMax, creating an Afghanistan map on Checksix, last time, he was asking for some help to create some objects...

Yeah, that would be Batou.

Unfortunately it is not possible for 3rd parties to develop for the new EDGE engine, at the moment. Seems only ED has the necessary SDK and knowledge.

I hope they make that available to 3rd parties soon. Hopefully before Nevada is finished, so others may start developing scenarios. :D

[Steel Jaw]

Canadian Arctic.

[rrohde]

I agree. Irak, Iran, Afghanistan would be very interesting.

[Conure]

Canadian Arctic.

 

Polar Bears don't have AA so I don't think the challenge would be great

[dooom]

I actually think an arctic circle theater would be an awesome a2a scenario... Very probable considering the limitations of current navies to conduct LNG term arctic operations:

I'd like to see a map of the UK with a fictional scenario that this island is being fought over, after the fall of Europe to Russia and East Germany!!!

 

The UK has masses of potential imho.

[Madone]

Yeah, that would be Batou.

Yes that's Batou, I didn't know where was its thread here. Thx. It's (or was) very promising, I hope it will be done.

+1 for the iran, iraq thing

[Erforce]

Northern Iran, maybe a little bit of Afghanistan, but please please please, not the whole Gulf.

I played FA18 Hornet 3(but not only), and desert is desert. Soooooo boring.

 

Korea with F4.0 was a good mix of giant (flat) battlefield, and Balkans was ... Extraordinary (and kinda flat to).

 

Moreover, imho the best expansion to current theater would be south (Turkey, Armenia...)

I feel the need of a new Theater, but each time i load some portion of the map, i found excellent unknown places to makes ambushes, skirmishs, sieges... I'm afraid i still have to learn Georgia further more.

 

I'm still awaiting Nevada to see what the 3D engine has to give. But considering the investments i've made for BS, i would like, even for 60$, a real Georgia map instead of pseudo-satellite map. (trees, hills, farms, fields, city, heights, rocks, mud...)

 

I'm just tired to spot tanks on the open ground at 15km, even at max settings.

It would probably require another engine, and that's not going to happen anytime soon looking at the sim today.

[lunanera]

The UK has masses of potential imho.

 

+1

 

also Italy.

[Eddie]

I find it odd that everyone is asking for theaters that are the same size, or smaller, than what we have now. The current theater is far too small as it is.

 

I don't really care what comes after Nevada, it just needs to be much bigger. Especially with fast jets on the way.

LMAO@ big newey :) ..... take away South Osetia , and drop Argentina in that slot , loads a harrier fun there .
