This thread has been inspired by the naval warfare thread, its an idea I've had in the back of my head for a while.
Wake is all too often a campfest for the USMC, right? Sure USMC can sometimes have a good round but thats only if they have their shit together, and it doesn't take as much effort on the part of the Chinese to pin them down.
Its pretty obvious that the little "Artillery Island" was put there just to give the USMC a place to put their arty. Personally, I think the island is a stupid idea. The trees obstruct your AA missiles while allowing J-10s and Choppers free-reign on your position. Its positioning means USMC still has one realistic "line of attack", meaning its harder to break a camp. And, having played a fair bit of BF1942, I feel its just bloody stupid adding in an island like that.
I propose getting rid of it, and replacing it with another stationary boat which will serve the same function; give it cannons, a phalanx and some landing boats. And put it somewhere else, like to the east or south of the Carrier, for example. That way it'd be harder to camp the USMC right from the start as they'd have a wider angle of attack, and their AA would be more widely dispersed. And it'd be a little more realistic/faithful to the original Wake Island
