What is wrong with you guys?

I wouldn't really mind that much to be honest, as i don't expect a house for house recreation of Britain in the summer of 1940, just an accurate enough approximation that focuses mostly on terrain outline (rivers, coastlines, elevation data, etc).
However, this is not only about accuracy. If this is true then the developers have spent a lot of time working on urban areas that they could have left out, which is a real pity when they have tried so hard and faced so many delays.
Plus it would also benefit frame rates to have the smaller 1940s-size towns. Who knows, maybe the time already spent on it and the resources needed to run the extra, post war urban areas could have been enough to model a few more airfields to the north for the people who want to fly as 12 Group pilots.
That being said, what's done is done and to be honest i don't worry much because i know the high standards of support and add-on content that comes from this company. This is a long-term project and as the development team have said a lot of times, the real work starts after the release of the first title.
To me that means that while we might not have a 100% accurate map of Britain now, we could have it after a couple of expansions and provided the games sell well enough. If sales are good they could probably assign a few people to correct the mistakes, which in this case consists of deleting items from the map, so it should be much easier than adding to it. Maybe two years in the future we will get a big patch with a new map replacing the current one, featuring smaller towns and a few more kilometers of coverage to the north of the current map, who knows?

I just feel sorry for the amount of extra work these guys had to put in now that it's obvious they could have skipped it, that's all
