New Multiplayer Maps

Perhaps just make maps which are connected to the current channel map, like parts from holland, luxemburg... later on (year(s) later) add them to the channel map for 1 huge map covering england, france, belgium, holland and a part from germany.. (if that would be possible..)

I know I'm not asking much

It would be rather small maps to play and quite claustrophobic but still better then joky island or jurasic maps.

Dont think such was expected by most old IL2 users.


BTW surly not in theme but i wonder also about performacne (speed, climb, turn) of BOB planes in COD. Looking in data and charts in COD manual i see very wrong and inaccurate data for these planes. I thought 1C will make better research and give more effort in these case.

Kwiatek - I agree with what you wrote. 100x100 km is a very small place ... forget the historical missions with bombers, radar etc ... .

Yes. Take smaller "clicks" of the "channel" map and make a few over Belgium and France, and some over England. Some of the coastal line of Dover to Tangmere and so on. WOuld be suitable. If something else would be made at a later time, then yes, some of northern areas, as Scotland to Norway, Herdla and such would be nice. But as an easy quick fix, split the channel map into bits

A commonwealth air-training plan map (training pilots for England in Rural Canada) - just set it in the prairies and use a lot of grass (and some coulées)...

because of the distance (over 400km) i would suggest a 1/4 scale

+1000

I was just about to suggest this, the area between Banff and Peterhead on the Scottish coast. Omitting Norway would allow there to be more map area as land...make it an air-start for German bombers, no doubt you could start them off-map since no doubt the map engine generates endless sea off the edge of the map. This gives them some flying time to the target and allows the fighters time to climb to make high-altitude interceptions.

What about a "What if" map. South England, October, Germans have already landed and hold a few of the southern airfields and are conducting free roam flights over sothern England to Mop up the last of the remaining RAF Fighters.

A Dunkirk centred map would make a good team map too.

EDIT : Thought of one more What if map - Last stand in Brittany

The Breton Redoubt. The French plan that was never carried out to fall back to the Brittany peninsular and fight a last stand.
The French armies in Brittany and the Vosges would have a chance to regroup while the Germans were thinking twice about entering the gap between them. The fight would go on..
This would be a role reversal with the RAF having to fly over the Channel to give air cover and bomb German Army positions.

A map where I am in a fight in 2 minutes max

As long as you're willing to work on new maps, then please consider an addition of France map going southern (to Paris), which can work in an online war in connection to the North France map that I already told you before.

And by similar thinking, what about an English map northern of what you have now, so we can work a fictional scenario of "Germans invaded - took London - but English keep on fighting from Manchester/Newcastle/etc".

At last, just to add my 2 cents, I don't think that we need any unrealistic map. Just cut what you have now and if possible make a few additions.
