I enjoyed the game I had on this map but I felt like I almost had no room to properly manoeuver, especially when speed boost is running. I had game on this map before but I didn't really noticed it was that small. This map would be great for low tier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

412 senseNOTmade Members 691 posts 7,037 battles Report post #6 Posted January 15, 2018 The problem is that the Henri is a ship specifically designed for open waters. Other ships, such as the USN cruisers, which are highly reliant on terrain, are at a huge disadvantage on this map, and need something to push people into medium range or they'll never get a single shot in for the entire game. So yes, the map is too small for a ship like the Henri. But there needs to be something to nerf your performance to give other ships a chance. And as far as chances go, a slightly smaller map isn't much for a ship like the Atlanta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You go B or pretty much where I was when i took the screen and you can cover all 3 cap. But yeah I guess US CA might have some issue. I was just surprised when I took my Henri and see this. You use speed boost and you almost do the entire map in 20 sec. 7 minutes ago, Lionel92 said: Ocean; Best. Map. Ever... H20/20.

3,999 [V_KNG] Herr_Reitz Beta Testers 13,205 posts Report post #11 Posted January 15, 2018 I've started multiple threads on Ocean. Heck, one even suggested they rename it so it felt "new and improved". iirc... I'm seeing ocean about once every two months. River, Atlanta did not need no stinkin island to hide behind. Nope. You may not recall the "instant islands" every DD carried back then. Smoke. Smoke you could not see into nor out of... ah yes... dd's layed it down every one used it.

Quaffer re-posted his comprehensive thread covering the maps in the game, and included a table with all that maps and their sizes. It turns out that the largest maps in the game are 42 or 48 km2. Ocean is only 36 km2. At the current size, Ocean should be a mid tier map, no higher than tier 6 or 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

725 [NEUTR] NeutralState Members 2,207 posts 11,692 battles Report post #16 Posted January 15, 2018 It's not too small... Not even Yamato can cover the map from one flank to the other. Ocean is the BEST map in game no sarcasm intended. It tests all game mechanics. Forces players to play as a team. It should be the tie breaker map for any tournament, clan wars, or other competitive events. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
