Hi Luthier,
From a historical perspective we will be running the large map. My only suggestion to put a little twist on it would be to add some other sort of weathering to the ground. Perhaps you could have several varients of just the large map. Say one has some of the english country side in ruins, burning cities/part of the cities in ruins, scattered bomb craters, trees burning, different seasons/time of year (for immersion), stuff like that.
I think it would be pretty cool to enter the war zone, , and actually think the war has been on-going with areas of grass barren, fires running rampant, parts of airfields devastated. I'm quite happy to have a real 1:1 historical map, but I think it would be great to have 4 or 5 versions of that map based on the time frame.
Just a little shout to you guys as well: From some of the video's I've watched, this new sim looks exactly like what I've been waiting for. Thanks for all your teams efforts. This sim looks bloody fantastic
