Possible new eastern front maps - some food for thought
Once, being curious, how much terrain is missing from the game, I made these two maps (I had posted them some time ago at SimHQ forum). Now, with new hopes about updating DGen, I thought I'd revive the subject. The areas currently integrated into the DGen are outlined in red.
northern bit (Kurland is more to the left):  And southern bit (with Stalingrad more to the right):  As you can see, two large maps covering the northern 'void' (south of Leningrad) and southern 'void' (most of the central and eastern Ukraine) would vastly enhance continuity of DGen campaigns. I'm curious of your opinion. Last edited by Lagarto; 10-12-2011 at 06:15 PM.

If I remember correctly...Kharkov and surrounding area is somewhere that I'd like to see on the Eastern Front. We do have pretty good coverage of some of the major areas where battles were fought... but there are gaps of course. It is the longest front of the war.

I think it's a great idea.
One of the rare things that I really hate about IL-2 is the very limited size of the maps. The Leningrad, Kurland, Slovakia, and Romania maps are currently the only Eastern maps worth flying over any more. The rest make you feel as though you're flying over a game board on the coffee table. For contemporary equipment ten years ago, rendering small maps was necessary and acceptable. There's just no excuse for it today, though. At a minimum, make three separate maps; one each for the territories covered by the three German army groups, with some overlap between the groups. A separate map for Scandinavia would be nice. Heck, include an option - if practical - to load the entire Eastern front. It may take up a bit of HD space and extra RAM, and take a few more seconds to load, but believe me, that would be something I would be more than happy to live with. Man, just think of the dream DCG scenarios one could come up with if proper maps were available, as well as for DGen! Last edited by Treetop64; 10-21-2011 at 11:09 PM.
