I'll definitely get in touch with him. Thanks!

Wondering if I might start really small first and then try something more ambitious after.

The Russian moves in the north that I referred to were the ones made for several days after Japan had formally surrendered.
I don't know what was behind that, if they were just on a roll or never were told it was over.

But it's a matter of pick your battles and map that region.
Very much what IL2 maps are now.
The original IL2 did come with a warning not to use the Berlin map online
because of the high number of buildings.
I know of one server that went down the moment the first bombs were dropped on Berlin.

We use Berlin regularly on Battlefields1. The capabilities of both servers and players has improved over the years so that many maps are now workable online. And... there are others that still aren't...

That will make Berlin a nice benchmark.
If it works okay online now, then that many buildings overall on a map is sure to be safe.

I agree. We had problems on the old server. Changed the server the Berlin map works flawlessly even with formations of AI bombers. Have FPS problems only those who use really old machines.
