I have to say that after trying about 5 multi-player scenarios that Hunters in the Atlantic is the best MP scenario so far. It is quite a challenge as you try to find the allied ships and then keep track of them as the rain comes in and the visibility drops. It has been a lot of fun so far, accidently bumping into the RN and having to sink them hopefully before they can reveal your position.
So far the Luftwaffe's bombers have proven very effective, flying about the south of the map looking for merchants and also bombing them. Arc Royal just went down so the allied planes are stuck to land bases, but the convoy is getting closer to England so that is not much of an issue for the fighters anymore.

I have found it the best multi-player scenario in game, so if you have not tried it yet give it a shot. You can find it in the custom scenarios in the multi-player option.

Normally I'd agree, but in this case I'm willing to give it a pass. I did specifically ask him to drop by the forums to repeat what he was saying, afterall.

A lot of your comments, such as blundering into the RN and sinking them quickly before they give away your position and the limited but important application of aircraft, were pretty much what the map was intended to play as. Nice to see it working as intended.
Preserving 'double blind' style of game play is pretty important for this style of map though. Being able to review the enemy turn at leisure will kill any mystery in the scenario as neither side will be able to hide their vital units.
So hopefully double blind will remain as an 'option' but not as the default like it currently is. Plenty of maps are coming out that should play just fine, with or without 'double blind', so stay tuned!

If you like Hunters in the Atlantic, you should really like Operation Huntress coming out tomorrow.
It's sort of like HA, the objectives are based around killing a unit, but it's moved to ground warfare, and makes excellent use of the game's rail movement mechanics.

Once the new batch of maps comes out, Hunters sticky will be removed, and a general 'MP maps' sticky will replace it, as a place for people to discuss all the new 'pure MP' scenarios.

You mean like Bastonge and Zitimir?

As a playtester for Operation Huntress, I can say that the scenario has a decidely Hollywood war movie feel to it... like the Dirty Dozen or Kelly's Heroes. It is a lot of fun.

Hope these get included in the map pack as well, both are good MP games. I think the ability of users to add to PzC's base of maps/scenarios is going to be this game's greatest strength.

Well any map that does get included with the installer will be specifically mentioned in the thread, but of course people are free to talk about their own customs as they wish.

Not until members feel that those maps are balanced. Then it is up for the offering.
