Major Absence - Canterbury Cathedral

[SEE]

Various Cathedrals, Monuments, Castles are shown on WOP maps- any that don't appear in CloD is probably for one reason - they weren't included rather than for any legal issues. Stonehenge, Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, the Castle at Dover, etc, do.

Its a big map - can you really expect that level of detail regards landmarks and where do you draw the line for what, and what not, to include?

Mrs. McAllister's flower bed at the end of her driveway has been omitted!

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

Well I'd draw the line that St Paul's should have been there, St. Paul's was probably the biggest architectural icon in WW2, certainly bigger than the Senate House which they included in CoD. Most people would not even notice if that was missing. Its a glaring oversight like forgetting the Empire State Building in New York and rendering Grand Central Terminal instead.

Well, look on the bright side!

The most referred to Land marks are all there (in MP!)

1 Hawkinge (where sitting ducks can be found)

2. Mansgate (where more Allied sitting ducks can be found)

3. Limp-pony (an American bestowed descriptor) where additional Allied Sitting ducks can be had.

4 The French Point and The English Point.

5. Calais Marque (for Axis Sitting ducks).

6. and finally, Phoney Island! Axtually it's a GFX glitch but has become an essential landmark for non UK players in aiding their navigation!"

Don't recall ever flying over London in MP so never noticed missing landmarks...

Agreed, but you have to admit St. Paul's missing is a big blunder. Like forgetting the Eiffel Tower in Paris but modelling the Madeliene.

Flew over that the other day and thought it was a prison.

And I know some of you guys are treating this as a bit of a joke, But I just wonder how they managed to put a church in almost every town and village, but managed to not include the two most famous Cathedrals in England (St. Paul's, Canterbury, Canterbury Cathedral is certainly the most famous building in Kent, the Battle of Britain County) London looks good anyway, but Canterbury just looks like a bunch of buildings put together.

And by the way, how the heck do I edit my signature?
