If for whatever reason the map has been developed based on modern urban areas then at this stage it may be financially impractical to consider significant changes. The historic info for the uk is available

If you drop us an email letting us know which areas you are interested in (ideally either sheet numbers, or the whole lot), and confirm that your use falls within the tile licence, we can work out the best way to let you get the tiles. It may even be possible for us to post you a dvd of the tiles, but we'll normally request a donation to OpenStreetMap in-leui of the postage.

Using the 1940's maps would significantly reduce map objects in urban areas therfore would presumably benefit fps/gameplay, to everyones benefit.
If it is too late for official changes maybe include the necessary tools with the FMB to edit the map and it could be done unofficially and later adopted, if the work is good enough.
