i love how we went from “radio silence” to “WHOOOO PHANTOM DROPPING” in like a day 💀

@Andywils02 Ай бұрын

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.

@Petidani0330 Ай бұрын

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'm sure someone else has done it and has made a video of it already, but whatever.)

Thanks for the Kola review! I guess I'll wait for now. I just hope there won't be a sudden price hike in June when they add winter textures etc. Phantom right now has a higher priority for me than the Kola map, especially as it seems to be early early early access ATM. 🙂

Great review Andrei. Ill probably just wait until the this map gets fully implemented. But waiting on the Afghanistan map in June. Still cant enter the contest for the Pimax giveaway. Tried getting in contact on their discord channel, without success. Keep up the great work

@hipgames Ай бұрын

Checking with PIMAX, you are not the only one with this problem so must be something

@AdastraRecordings Ай бұрын

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.

@BrockvsTV Ай бұрын

I’d say it all depends on planes and era’s. Seems fun for modern era and most planes. Then there’s a few with low fuel load or low speed that the issue comes into play and that’s really for one era only

@AdastraRecordings Ай бұрын

@@BrockvsTV I've already made a cold war era border skirmish with no issues.

@BrockvsTV Ай бұрын

@@AdastraRecordings the border area is fine and makes sense since it’s the most modeled and has the most airfields. It’s the sparseness of the rest of the map that I think is causing the problems. It does have that large dead zone in the middle that has no airfields.

@nighthawk1867 Ай бұрын

Thanks for keeping the videos positive, hope the Kola airfields get cleaned up first as that where pilots spend most of their time closest to the ground. I wonder what Orbx will do for the Lofoten area in Norway. It has to be the most photographed part of Norway. Lofoten is the land just northeast of Bodo airbase on the map.

Greats video and review. It's good that heatblur is going a week of discount for steam users, since they miss out.

@Coolhand101e Ай бұрын

I think that many people who enjoy the Kola map are going to add "in-flight refuelling" to their list of necessary skills for many flyable modules.

@RAIDR_71 Ай бұрын

Looking forward to the F4 and taking it for a spin on the Kola map. Heatblur again shows how it’s done with their decision to offer the same pre purchase price to steam users as stand alone. I hope that ED and other 3rd party devs follows suit.

I didn't realize it was coming by the end of the month and Heatblurthank you for always providing that great costumer service with the steam launch week sale! 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.

@Laerei Ай бұрын

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.
