It always takes forever to the coalition to find caches. Hope there's more!

I would definitely cut down on the amount of air assets available. Not for balance purposes, but if you remember 0.5 Al Basrah, the brits had literally half the team waiting at the airfield for a Cobra, A10, blackhawk etc. to spawn. Even with the current version of Kashan, a lot of people still tend to hang around the airfield for something that flies to spawn.

If anything, I'd go with one fixed wing aircraft (Be it the Harrier or A10, I'd prefer the Harrier), and one rotary wing attack aircraft (Apache). Not too sure on that however, as it seems like a rotary wing attack aircraft can be very self sufficient in taking down Insurgent/Taliban caches. Though considering the size of the map, transport choppers would definitely be a lot more useful.

it was the US on Al Basrah in v0.5

but ehhh, fixed wing aircraft are used every day in Afghanistan for air support as the Arty dont have the range to support most of the combat in Afghanistan so fast air is the best way to get the support that the troops need. Basically every video you see out there you can find will show some kind of air support in it at one point or another from fixed wing aircraft, the Apaches from what I've seen are mainly used for escorting and on missions they have been tasked to support before hand.

As for players hanging around at the main, I think it will become less and less as jets become useless without spotters really, epically if they cant dog fight like they wont be able to do on this map. Also rally the Taliban need the advantage of having more troops on the ground, so this only really helps them in a realistic way

Probably the most realistic in terms of landscape (due to sat images and ref) map for any BF2 mod so far.

This map is not EPIC..... its MEGA!

forget what i said early, it will still be a great map. I didnt mean any disrespect.

I would say maybe no A-10's, but definitely include atleast an Apache (or 2), and some transport helo's. If this becomes the new Kashan (in terms of size) i hope to see a a good number of merlins, and landrovers. Would be loads of fun to sit behind a dirt burm, with some folliage, and just light people up with the .50 cal.
