Do you want the new version of NEAF?

[irl-calibre 744]

Balota should be turned into a civil airfield also ...

I honestly think a lot of this "force everyone to the nwaf" is nostalgia for the mod.

We have already been there for a few months now ;)

It looks awesome, but I don't see how this will change anything. It looks like you will find just as much gear as in the old airfield. Just a different aesthetic setup.

I never really liked the NEAF airfield anyways. Too many players and not enough gear to be worth the risk.

Military ATC will be replaced with a new civilian ATC. It's going to be a completely different area.

I played the mod for about 5 hours. Until now, I spent 450 hours in the SA. I don't feel any nostalgia for the NWAF. But it's obvious that something has to be done when 60% of the map are not used.

 

I really appreciate this conversion!

Looks like a parking lot, but civilian airports are always a go.

 

Although part of me wants to keep it so the killing stays in Berezino and I can traipse through the inland portions of the map without a care in the world. Except for the times I meet Brazilian raiders in Stary Sobor. That was pretty scary.

The smaller airport is a good change.  Now give us some 172s or Piper Cubs to fix!  I'll provide round trip from NEAF, NWAF, and Balota for 2 cans of beans.

What's the difference in loot between the old NEAF ATC tower and the new civilian one? All I ever found in the military one were the occasional gun parts. Very rarely would I find everything I needed to make a fully kitted out weapon.

The Balota airfield and tents on the other hand have waaaay more gear and way less competition.

The ATC tower has attachments, ammunition, very often pistol magazines and pistols, and valuable military gear items like TTsKO jackets and hunting backpacks. None of these will appear in a civilian ATC tower.

 

And, obviously, the new tower will be a fancy new design which actually looks civilian and might actually be nice to visit, instead of just the old Arma 2 military ATC.

Ahhh..... gotcha. I must just have really bad luck then whenever I stop by there. Never found anything that valuable.

Irregardless, I do like the new design of the civilian airport. :)

Unless they move the spawns back along the Southern coast, I see no reason to make Balota into a civilian airfield. It may need some modification, but the only reason I ever see people in Elektro or Cherno now is because they've been heading to or from Balota. The southern coast would be essentially obsolete save for the odd person in Elektro if all of the loot was pushed into the North, because places like Zelenogorsk or Green Mountain aren't huge enough loot spawns to justify traveling there alone.

 

Now, if they wanted to move spawns back towards the south, then I can see them changing Balota. However, it should still remain a small military airbase. That way, the NEAF, Balota, and NWAF are all unique in their own respect; civilian airport complex, small military base with an airstrip, and a huge international airfield.

Looks the same empty boring placeholder like every other place on this map

I've 300+ hours and I'm already nostalgic for the neaf!  I'm cool with whatever changes the devs make but I don't think we'll have players all over the map until vehicles. I think the neaf might be a good candidate for a random helicopter crash spawn site. In any case the layout of the land still makes it a great for squad v squad take and hold scenarios.

Irregardless

You mean regardless right?

[JokersWarPig 16]

As long as it forces players to head somewhat inland I will be happy.

 

You could practically spit to the ocean from the Balota airstrip.

As soon as we get tents I'll be going deeper into the bush. Just me and my Samsquantch girlfriend!

[Feuerbart 14]

If this is near Svetlo, why are people about "inland"? Oo

 

btw FOUR Airfields in such a small area are way too much.

[alsmir 255]

What's the point exactly?

Whoever is deatmatching in Berezino now will still continue to do it.
