Allow Ground Object draw distance radius to be configurable in config.ini.

Even better, make it possible to make different ground objects visible at different distances.

For example, for a high-altitude bombing raid against a city, you don't care about forests or vehicles, but you do want buildings and flak to be obvious well in advance.

For a low-altitude attack mission, you want forests, buildings, vehicles and flak to be visible as soon as possible, but you don't care about clouds.

Default Comrade Female Pilots, Gunners, Mechanics and Armorers

I am haunted by images and stories of Lilya Litvak, Night Witches and Anna Yegorova. I think it would be really interesting if Russian female pilot figures were added to the game. Is the reason this has not been done because new voices would also have to be recorded and then played according to gender? Maybe there would be some way around that in the short-run like making the figures silent?

The Soviet Union employed women in combat and combat support roles during the Great Patriotic War and I must say that this just fascinates me. They were real-life heroines standing alongside the men.

I also know that American women ferried aircraft to forward areas and think that it would be interesting to have some WAAFs as well.

Personally, I like to turn off map icons and navigate using terrain features and realistic navigation.

On larger maps, when every airport has its own beacon, never mind any radio stations or ships with beacons, it's a chore to scroll through all of them just to find the one you're looking for.

I suggest using the frequency menu(Tab->9) to list all beacons that apply to the player, so they can be switched to directly. To switch back to comms, the player can either scroll to beacon(none), or switch directly to the "friendly"(Or "enemy") frequency.
