This is the new map rotation, after restoring Vehicle Rotation.
A PUBLIC POLL IS AVAILABLE HERE TO VOTE THE MAPS!

We have been trying to discuss the maps in the rotation for a very long time, but I felt as if the last change wasn't enough. The server was still the same, just with less maps.

So I thought, since one of the problems seems to be that the maps are too big for the server population of this server, let's try to start again from the basics. We have removed Midnight Sun, Dragon Valley (which has its own server now, we moved
it over the Infantry Rotation server), Highway Tampa.

The maps have been switched to 32 size too (they should be
as big as before, but with less flags to streamline the map)

Road Rage 16 size is a test: no bombers. Dalian Plant remains 64 because the 32 version strips the two north flags entirely, but the map itself is not streamlined so I left the full size. LET ME KNOW! S_h_a_r_k_93 

The vehicle rotation is very nice but there is just a map im realy missing its gulf of oman its a nice enjoyable map and its 9/10 times well organised and the air is mostly vs air so the groud players can have fun to maby take a look at it

If you ask me, I miss the original Road Rage 64!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, we'll try to discuss the new rotation.

EDIT: thank you for creating the public poll Dgm_0570!

No bombers ?? most of the people on Rotation and Oman servers are there for the jets, there are other maps in the rotation with no bombers or no jets at all.
The bombers on Road Rage and Midnight Sun are offset by the way more accurate AA, if it locks on to you, you are toast (or pizza)
Sometimes on this map i just die and die and die, but i see it as an investment in the next round, letting the non-pilots get some revenge so they stick around.
You would be pulling the teeth of the map.
Also, where are :-
Midnight Sun
Clean sweep
Taraba Quarry
Great wall
Blue Pearl
Some of my favorite maps, and great vehicle maps, especially Blue Pearl.
And PLEASE remove Songhua from the rotation, it's so big you can't find the enemy, it usually turns into a game of musical chairs, following the other team round the map and re-taking the flags that they just took.

McSlaine.

What, what do you mean "more accurate"? O.o Does it behave differently than other maps like Wake Island? Do you mean the fixed AA? What do you mean!


We are re-designing the vehicle rotation after taking a break to test Dragon Valley. Dgm_0570 has set up a poll to vote for the most favorite maps.


Yeah, I've seen that happen. That's why it's not part of the poll either. Please vote in the Poll!

Yes, the Tunguska and.......whatever the USA one is called (and probably stingers too) have been tweaked and are a LOT more powerfull on these two maps in terms of range and accuracy, if you get spotted in a jet and the Tunguska knows where you are coming from, you have next to no chance of killing it.
But like i said, i just get back in the jet and try again, who am i to deny other players some good times ?

Ah, I did not know about that. Are you sure it's not the same statistics for Mobile AA that can be found in Dragon Valley for instance? Anyways I believe we never had Great Wall in the Vehicle Rotation server, and it's been a long time since we ran Blue Pearl on it.

Midnight Sun was already reduced from 64 size to 32 size because it wasn't doing great and I believe the same thing happened to Songhua Stalemate (which is still in the rotation, and it is still a server killer in 2020).

Clean Sweep is another funny one, but as I think Sirius_AD hinted it's not for the players that like a challenge you know? The maps you mention are a bit harder and, unfortunately, unpopular. Taraba Quarry for example can have very good tank battles (as in Highway Tampa) but its size is also its enemy, not many enjoy a fight there.

I'll try to see if more people are up to discuss it here. On Reddit, regarding the poll, I've been told that Operation Smoke Screen is missing! That's actually a good one and I believe that it wasn't doing that bad, when we hosted it. Let's put some ideas in here!!

Yes, sure, very sure, definitely very very sure. Certain in fact, adamantly certain. So adamantly definatly certain, it is unbe-fuckin-lieveable to the mortal man how adamantly certain I actualy truly am.
