So after seeing a number of the maps ive come to a few conclusions.

All the maps ive seen are on the small side and for the most part chocked full of islands/bases.

This makes for fun dd/cl maps but not verry good for good bb/cv play.  Playing as a cv on more than one ocassion ive had a dd/cl humping me before I got off my second wave of planes.   Some of the maps are so small I wouldnt be suprised If a high teir bb can fire from one spawn to the other. 

Therefor either reducing the speed of all the ships(seems rather fast atm esp for low level ships with crappy crews)  or increasing the size of maps seems to me to be a good idea.
