Areas are of the same size (2x2km max), but their textures and rendering routine were changed dramatically. Using megatexture technology we are able to show much more detailed landscape texture with normal mapping.
We'll try to make possible loading of existing ToW resources to ToW2, but some of the data will need corrections first (for example, tanks now have visibility sectors for each crew member, while old ones have 360 degree view). I think authors of JSH mod will handle that, if importing of old resources will be unofficial feature (it's unclear at the moment).
