make me wonder as to the customization of ground objects. Will we, for instance, be able to place aircraft that have their cowling removed for maintnence, or interceptors with their canopies open and ready for pilots at the start of missions?



EDIT:

One thing in the answers so far does concern me though: the mention of limitations on map sizes in km^2. While in general I love this, as it makes the game more DF friendly, it makes me worried on the 'Battle of the Atlantic' front. With limited map sizes, we won't be able to do long maritime patrols or convoy interceptions.

Also, a friend of mine mentioned naval B-24 variants, and this got me wondering: while I'm guessing that in plane radar will be possible, will aircraft searchlights be possible?

...which brings up the question of sub-surface warfare. Are depth charges going to me modeled in game as usable weapons from aircraft? And will maritime patrol aircraft be able to vector in submarines to a convoy, and then hear/see about the results? (obviously, the visual would only be if they were lucky enough to have a submarine nearby in the first place). This could also be used the other way around, by fighters seeing a Fw-200 or uboat, and vectoring ships away.
