any areotech only maps?

[whatever]

just wondering is there any areo fighter maps in the works? (basiclly scale everything like heck and make the maps HUGE..!)

make an giant, inhospitable mountainous region with cliffs, fissures, and even underground tunnels for some fun flying

This I would like to see.

That, and BA-only maps, would be a surefire way to stop a bunch of combined-arms devotees to stop playing

Trust me, any such maps would be removed from the servers very fast.
Any servers running such maps would become deserted very fast.

Unfortunatelly it's true

Maybe an idea for much later in the development cycle, when there's a greater variety of aerospace to take, a mechlab to customize them in, and more players in the community since I think that many of them wouldn't be very keen on this. People could just run aero only servers with only those maps.

For now I agree that it isn't a very good idea though

Well, the issue now is that ASF duels ain't as good as they could be. So... maybe in next / next-next release such map would have a place.
For now I've stopped works on my ASF map.

As long as I cannot invert my axis properly I will not touch aeros!

The ground has the most kills on me so I am ok with putting this off.

[whatever]

well just a idea for changing things up,it would be cool to have 32 jets in the air at once but at the same time i understand optimization has to take place for non laggy performance.

With the size we have on the maps in MWLL right now, 32 jets in the air would make it way too crowded up there.
You have to take into consideration that they go about 3-4 times faster than mechs so it would be harder to evade.
And Jest are destroyed instantly when they crash, not like mechs and tanks which can bump into each other and only take a little damage.

[(TLL)Sky_walker]

in ASF games people always focus in one area, it's not like Mechs battles where there can be 2-3 fronts at a time. We had testing one Aero map (not my) and it's always a cloud of fighters, no matter how huge the map is. Only difference map-size wise is in the time needed to get back to the battle (instead of 4 seconds you have 5 ).
If you'd make 8km map instead of typical 3-4km only difference would be in more lag during the gameplay. ASFs have too few limitations, too high speed and too small weapons range to create and battle with multiple-fronts.

Better way to go is to make terrain cool enough to encourage people stay close to it and try to crash the pursuer in the ground.

Aero only maps would be very boring since dogfighting pretty much sucks right now.

Yep.  But even when dogfighting is beefed up, aero-only maps would still prove unpopular with many players who prefer other roles and combined arms, doncha think?

Given we only have a relatively small MWLL-playing community at this point, I'd be concerned about the potential for aero-only or BA-only maps to turn people off the game.
