Some of the maps in IL-2 are smaller than 100% scale. Some are obvious, like the new North Africa map. The map looks great, but Sicily and Crete are rendered significantly smaller than they are in real life, and are very much closer to Libya than in reality. Some aren't so obvious, like the L'viv map, which seems to be rendered at about 75-80% scale. The grid overlay is at 100% (10 kilometers = 10 kilometers), but the map itself is rendered smaller, the result being that distances between towns and cities on the game map is shorter, and that the towns and cities themselves are smaller. For example, in the real world the distance between the centers of Pshemisyl and L'viv is about 91 km, but on IL-2's map it's about 76 km.
I've often wondered that if someone is making a map that is very nearly at 100% scale, then why the heck not just make it 100%? Oh, well, it's pointless at this stage...
Anyways, does anyone have a list of IL-2 maps that are actually 100% scale? And the scale of those that are less than 100%?
Appreciate it. Thanks!
