This sounds great!   

Could it be held on Saturday or Sunday, though?  It would be nice to see how the maps play with the 64 players before throwing in the 100+ server.

are those antiair globes fuctional or just decoration?, IIRC they were used to make strafes and bombing difficult, do they cover key locations, like AA guns and airfields?

World at War Aerial & Naval Warfare Day - Saturday March 12th

    So, we're right in the middle of the between campaign break and I hope everoyne is itching for some more WaW action.

    Last campaign saw us make a lot of changes and improvments to the aircraft here at WaW. We added back nose-cameras to the planes and spent a lot of time adding gravity coding to make the planes more interesting and unique to fly, as well as adding in some new custom planes.
    Also, we tested out naval combat during the WaW22 scrims on Baleares. More work has been done to get rid of the bugs they had and now we're ready to take to the sea again with working destroyers and submarines!

    Therefore, to showcase these new features we're planning the following aerial & naval warfare event for next Saturday, March 12th.
    It's going to be open to the public and advertised publically. The aim: to get more people interested and signing up for WaW.

    Big thanks to Stubbfan, Paasky, xtune and others for getting the work done.

    The maps will be available around Friday March 11th, as they are still being worked on.

    This coming Saturday, March 12th, the World at War Tournament invites you to take part in a special Aerial & Naval Warfare FH2 event.

    The WaW team has prepared several custom maps that feature a wide variety of aircraft, including new custom aircraft. We're also excited to present the return of naval warfare to the Battlefield 2 + Forgotten Hope 2 platform, something that has been missing since the FH1 days.

    You'll be able to take to the sea in destroyers featuring a heavy gun as well as a Bofors AA gun and working depth charges. Be aware of the threat from the deep as enemy submarines will also be on patrol and will be stalking you using their periscope and forward and aft firing torpedoes. Finally, you'll also have the chance to engange in large scale armored combat on the map Tundra, where half of your team is going to be driving a tank.

    Event Features:
    - Battle on 5 exciting and unique custom maps
    - Tyrrhenian Sea: Fight for control of several small island with heavy air and naval support.
    - Bombing of Constanta: Launch Soviet Bombing raids against a Romanian port
    - Baleares: Conduct beach assaults against a key island with air and naval support
    - Battle of Britain: Be one of the "few" and defend the white cliffs of Dover against Luftwaffe attacks
    - Tundra: Take part in epic tank battles across this large battlefield

    - Custom equipment
    - New aircraft such as the Stuka G-2 "Kannonvogel", Soviet TB-3 and I-16
