But from what we have learned on Warbirds of Prey (Spits vs 109s) that some of the larger maps are not very playable online. Maps do not need to have tons of detail, just enough to keep them visual interesting. More important is to have bases (Or the ability to add bases) on a map such as the flight times to the front lines are about 5-8 minutes. Missions built which have total flight times (takeoff to landing) for bombers of over 20 to 30 minutes are not that popular.
100km x 100km Maps might be a bit small, maybe 150km x 150km.
To start some basic English/French mainland maps, Coastal English/French Maps, and a scaled down channel map for anti-shipping missions.
Again until we (Warbirds of Prey mission builders/admins) can actually get ahold of the game and see what there is to work with it is hard to comment.

Please guys read Luthier posts, for those of us that want realism for our coops or online wars there is the main map, so you have what you want, but just because you dont like fast dogfight action small maps it doesnt mean they shouldnt be there, cause some people like that and dont want to fly 15 min to target or more, the sim is not only made for you, it is made for everybody trying to reach a large audience. Luthier asked for some ideas to make some more small maps that will apeal for ppl that wants fast action with some realism.
He also said that no new textures should be needed, so no desert and no snow.
I fly often in spit vs 109 and big maps tend to get boring with less than 35 players as wildwillie said.
I like the Dunkerque area idea.
And +100 to the guy who said Online4Summer y love that little map.
I personally like full real online wars but also fast dogfiht servers (without externals better) so i will enjoy all maps
