i wish you good luck would be nice to have a more real Wake Island than the crappy vBf2 stuff
even though CA already did a 8km version of Wake

Which was...vBF2 with alot more water?

just as a side note remember the reef around wake in real life is VERY shallow so even in a storm situation you will have very little water over the reef. also even today there are a few japenese wrecks under water in the outer reef.

I would like to see a remake of Iwo Jima. this looks like it will be a classic map

if you scale a map from 2km to 8km not only the water will get scaled also the island and CA placed some statics there but yes it was still vBf2 style

How are China invading the island? Will they start off with a position already established on the island?

Because there's no Chinese naval/amphibious assets apart from possibly using a cargo ship like the Russians on Beirut.

May want to reverse it so the Marines are making an amphibious assault like in VBF2.

I had seen the posts. The whole idea of this map, and I believe PR, is to show what EA (anyone to date) could/should have made. For us folk here in reality.

One map shows a couple wrecks and ruins in the water. I guess I know what the ruins are now. And yes, the outer reef is shallow, varies from 1-3 feet (slopes to middle of island) but it should/will be a rough drive. The same map also mentions many small "coral heads" that are exposed in very low tides (insert flashbacks of inf swimming vainly from a savage rape gang).

No screen : I apologize for this breach of procedure. I'll probably post a couple this weekend along with a real minimap. I just have the level stripped down while I'm placing the buildings.

Yes, the Chinese landed by cargo ships in the initial sneak attack but were forced to pull out to where they could anchor safely, leaving their foothold on the island (it's a stretch for sure). I think the swap is a needed change to separate it more from vanilla.
