[Map Rating]: Dalian Plant | PLA vs USMC

[zone36]

Alright, it's probably been done before, but we can bring it up again.

Maybe we can discuss another map next week? Anyway, on to the first round:

• LOCATION: Dalian, Manchuria, China, Asia
• SETTING: Coastal Inlet, Mountainous Ridge, Fall / Winter
• TEAMS: vs

Situation: United States Rapid Deployment forces are advancing to capture the Dalian Plant nuclear facility and force disruptions to the electrical grid in northern China. Elements of the Second Army of the People’s Republic of China have moved forward to serve as an improvised defensive force. This location is of vital strategic importance to both sides, for a major reduction of the generating capacity of the People's Liberation Army forces would allow rapid consolidation of United States units dispersed throughout this vast region.

1. WHAT IS YOUR OVER ALL TAKE ON THIS MAP? (like it? hate it? why?)
2. DO YOU HAVE A SET STRATEGY? (favorite kit? use armor? use helo? do you always attack? ever stop to defend? etc)
3. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CAPTURE-POINT? (and why?)

Feel free to be as brief or elaborate as you want in your responses.

Hate it - Reason: J10 vs F35b map
Strategy - Camp in the other essex gun (not the one that get's raped) and take the J10's down from there, if i'm PLA than any strategy really.

Favorite CP - The one with the helipad (closest to Essex)

1. My overall take on this map is that it is about decent. Air power is a bit unbalanced as you have the same old J-10 issues, so if you're on the USMC team and have no good pilots you can expect to get air raped. With the air power in terms of fighters and helicopters, armor doesn't really stand that much of a chance on this map. Scattered Stinger missiles on the map, not really too much in the way of AA, so if you have no air power to counter the enemies', you're done for.
2. No real set strategy for me. Make sure ALL air assets are being utilized and are manned by worthy pilots, this should give you a good chance at winning the map.
3. The warehouse. It's enclosed, meaning the only vehicles that can penetrate it are tanks. Since I'm a ground-pounder I love not having to worry about being air raped, and this point certainly provides plenty of cover for infantry.

i like it, only because the choppers are equally balenced, i dont fly much on this map except for the choppers.
favorite kit on this map is Anti-tank, take out choppers and tanks
favorite CP, the one closest to the chinese base w/ the helipad
