Jets Underused

[Scheble]

I think the jets are VERY underused I mean they are on only 2 maps and they are played not that often. They can be a very valuable assest in the right hands and I dont beileve that they would make the playing field uneven if the other team gets some and if the other teams loses theirs...well the round is useually over by that time.
What do you think?

I can remember at least 3 maps(Kashan, Qinling, Silent Eagle) for starters.

Main issue here are maps. Make good 4km map with airfields and you'll see more jets .

lol forgot about Qinling I love that map wonder why ppl dont play it anymore?!!?? So the fact that jets are underused is the fact of the maps being so big and hard to make?

The issue is the Maps that have jets in them are not used that much by game server admins anymore. It's a sad fact that they get sick of players queueing/teamkilling over who get the jets. And who can blame them. They want to play, Not admin all day. So they just stop having them maps on their servers.

Does anyone like the idea of an Jets only map?

I would say the main reason people do not play jet maps as often is because jets only operate on 4km maps as far as I know and 4km maps in general are not fun to travel, what there needs to be is some kind of map like so:



The Light Green area represents a regular 2km map that we always play, but this 2km area is placed within a 4km area(darker green) where there is 1 additional spawn point for the airports(grey) for each team. All the combat is kept within the 2km area, and the main bases are also within the 2km area, the 4km area is just scenery and space for jets to travel and perhaps some good recon/sniping positions mortars,etc. and red zone being leaving combat zone. and orange being the main bases.

I would be working on a map like this but i don't understand the bf2 editor at all and i run into way to many problems, i have tried twice already at designing a map doesn't work out in the end.

I think a map like that would be a pretty decently played jet map.

What i meant was jets only. In like an air superiority mode. Like vehicle warfare but with jets. With instant spawning jets and only 200 tickets or something. With a simplistic terrain with no infantry at all.

But this is sounding more and more like a suggestion.
So for the record :I withdraw my statement "wink, wink"

I Think you all would be far better off looking for a game like "Lock On". You can map make all the jet maps you like, Admins still will not play them on their servers as they can't be asssed with the hassle they bring. Such a shame as I am a jet whore. And that makes me part of the problem. I Always want to fly them jets. It's my jet. Mine I tell ya
