      I was one of the naysayers on the F-4. On the last vidoe I commented that having 2 maps the-47 and the -58 all coming in a 2 month period must mean an F-4 delay. Not 20 minutes later Heatblur posted.

    The first thing I did with the Kola map was flying to the North Pole in a Hornet. Three fuel tanks in an otherwise clean loadout were more than enough to get there. It was very wacky, the Sun went crazy!

    I have to call BS on the distances between airfields being an issue. Kovdor is located very close to the border and sits neatly between several airfields and is the perfect location for incursions and skirmishes. For helos sure the flights are on the longer side but there's always FARPs :)
    They've set a new bar in places already, it'll be amazing when fully fleshed out.

    Even though Kola is the map's name, it's actually a very small part of the map, it's like calling map of entire United Kingdoms "Wales". But jokes aside, it's great to have a map based on one of the less known parts of the world. It really is northern edge of civilization, not much civilization exists anywhere else on same laititude. And yet it might be one of the main stages of WW3 which I hope never comes to pass. It would be the major suck.

Which great review on the new map and while your right it's just hobby dollars but that does not mean as you''ve said it's automatically worth it... as we can compair it to the outstanding channel 2.0 map and the other destert and free maps... and it's just an alpha product being sold at AA game pricing or in DCS terms a Gen 2 jet or any jet on sale. That said I agree if someone must have it their are worse things to spend your hobby dollars on I feel in DCS.

    I disagree with your stand on the distances, not because they aren't accurate, but Enigma and others have pointed out that the time/distant commitment for online players missions will be a problem. Secondly the large distances foreshadow the same problem with the green map every one is clamoring. for...Vietnam, which will likely be MUCH larger. RP6 missions from RTAFB bases are at a minimum 250 miles, but more likely 350-400+ miles. DaNang is a good 350 mi from Hanoi/Haiphong. We are spoiled by the relatively close quarters of the Sinai, Syria and PG. Just something to consider.
