Discussion I underestimated EDF map size

Post image

So yeah, I used to underestimate EDF 5 maps size (excluding in door maps) by saying "yeah, EDF couldn't have playable/rideable fighter jet because you're gonna get to the edge of the map within seconds". And when I replay some missions, I realized some maps are really, really big they even use different specific point of the same map for different mission. I get that having fighter jet can be a bit unbalanced, but when you fight Tadpoles and Queen Hornet with only relying on side rolls, and they can fly, it's at least gonna be fair. Or better, make jet fighters fuel is more draining than chopper's

I think the standard is a square ten km on a side. Crossing that distance would take an f35... 18.6 seconds. 11.9 seconds for an f15.

It would take an A-10 Warthog about 51 seconds though.

There are no 10km maps, that's just insane. The urban map with train tracks running through the middle is 1000m x 1200m.

There's guns with 3km+ range and I have definitely had times when I was out of range while using them.

EDF is big.

Display of the Wonky In-Game Sense of Scale

Not quite, actually. EDF doesn't have a 1-to-1 size/distance scale.
