But during the download, I notice something was out of place. Notice the flag locations on the minimap? I don't remember that in game at all. Upcoming map changes or they're just using it as an example? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Things to note: direction line is solid white, and the flag circles are static white, there is also no vision cone. It looks like a very old version of the minimap.

Your opinion was so helpful and needed, I dont what we'd do without it! NOT I just have one question when I see this map.... What the fudge-balls is that CV doing so close to the front line!?

I think that I may have seen that map in some youtuber's intro sequence. Regardless, I wish they'd put it in the rotation, even if they move the caps and spawns, etc. This game needs all the maps it can get at this point. And a less than perfect map is better than no map at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And a less than perfect map is better than no map at all. The game has text data for two dozen maps but iirc most of them were cancelled or delayed because of balancing issues. It'd be nice to have some of the old maps back. Maybe even have that TXXX space event back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least, you get direction lines, visual cone, and a couple extra circles (detection and aircraft detection ranges, I think.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2,750 [FOXEH] Kitsunelegend Beta Testers 6,103 posts 1,313 battles Report post #23 Posted October 26, 2015 Even without that mechanism carriers are the only class with limited ammo. It'd only be an issue if you're stupid with your planes. If you manage them decent enough and dont put them in areas where they'd die quickly, you'd only have to send them back maybe once or twice a match to re-fuel. Of course that would also mean TB and DB would auto-re-fuel when they go back to re-arm, so you'd almost never have to worry about them, unless you try and use them to spot DDs or something and leave them out for a long time. And thats just asking for trouble anyway. It'd be a great way to keep fighters from constantly spotting DDs though and hovering around them. I know a lot of DD captains would be happy with that.

478 Final_Spark Beta Testers 2,440 posts 8,653 battles Report post #24 Posted October 26, 2015 It's an older version of New Dawn. I'm not sure if the caps actually existed in those positions in Alpha or not. It was actually late CBT when they changed the NW and SE corners to what they are now. Also of note seems to be shallows in F7, presumably an area that is only passable for DDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
