[STEEL] PeteEarthling [STEEL] Players 660 posts Report post #4 Posted August 20, 2020 From a naval warfare point of view, it should be the ONLY map. We do not fight brown water battles here, don't we? 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[THESO] Hirohito Players 815 posts 3,877 battles Report post #5 Posted August 20, 2020 I love this map! It's usually very adrenaline-intensive and fast-paced as there are no hiding spots (apart from smoke, to an extent), which really makes combat change drastically to the typical game. Can of course be disadvantageous for some ships, but all in all great fun every time I get it (only 3 times so far ). 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[KLAN] KapteinSabeltann Players 218 posts 8,582 battles Report post #14 Posted August 20, 2020 yeah that map is great. Awesome. Esp for light cruisers when there are CV's in game too. So much fun. Oh boy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[LEAKS] Tatsfield Players 237 posts 10,932 battles Report post #15 Posted August 20, 2020 I think I've only ever played it once and was sure that it was a glitch as all the silly islands had disappeared! It is the perfect map for historical vessels but it needs cohesive team play with a good level of command. Most players prefer to play ring-a-ring-o'-roses around the islands where 12 separate battle plans can be easily hidden. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Estaca_de_Bares Players 1,321 posts 20,269 battles Report post #16 Posted August 20, 2020 "Yay, Ocean!" is what I type at the beginning in open chat whenever I find myself in that map, so yes, I enjoy it a lot on the rare occasions it appears. The only ships that I've found having it hard are those that rely too much on positioning, like stationary smokes and, to a lesser extent, USN cruisers. If only it were also accessible at lower tiers... Radar Minotaur works perfectly fine, with pretty intense gameplay, although the damage numbers are meagre and the general role unappealing. You go after your natural preys (DDs) but more in a way of negating them the caps at the early stages (and if the team also fires upon them, even better), turning away and wiggling while every red focuses you until you go dark, acting as a fire diverter and utility ship. Salute. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TACHA] triumphgt6 Players 1,529 posts 17,273 battles Report post #23 Posted August 20, 2020 I played it in the US Tier 3 cruiser St Louis - not fun as it took almost the whole game to get from where I spawned to the enemy base! It is however a great map. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
