Adding new maps: Which one would be the most useful?

[IceFire]

I strikes me that if anyone (myself included) is thinking about doing a map for IL-2 1946 and submitting it to Team Daidalos for inclusion, that it will take a lot of time, effort, and dedication to a single battle area to try and make it work. It's a hell of a lot of research and then time spend doing it not to mention working with fiddly tools.

So I wanted to toss it out there. If I or someone else or a group of us were to try and build something then what map area should it be and what resources would we be able to rely on?

Couple of ground rules:

1) Looking for useful battle areas. Big or key battles with a variety of action. A remote area that saw maybe a half dozen air to air kills isn't something all that useful.

2) Map size and complexity needs to be achievable at either 1:1 scale or perhaps 1:2 scale.

I've been thinking about Leyte Gulf but resources are short in some places and I'm not 100% on a usable battle area. Ideally I'd like to have Japanese and American airbases for both online battles and historical missions from both sides on that one.
