Not saying they haven't done a good job, but the guys who made the Slovakia map did the same for no money. Better get into FMB and see for youselves. Detailed houses, fences, sheds, stacks of wood and hay and what not. All already in IL-2 1946.

So I am sorry to say it, but I am not impressed.

The Slovakia map was one of the best maps by far in the IL-2 series and my favorite. I'm sure the crew in the process of developing the terrain for the Battle for Moscow were impressed with the Slovakia map and may have even drawn some inspiration from it. Maybe you will find their work satisfactory when its finished.

The work done on the Slovakian map was eccelent but the detail in CLod is much higher & when you are driving your Vehicle or Tank around the Map you will realy appreciate it

But for the moment it is impossible to do the same with the stuff in the FMB because you don't have all the objects to do that. I did not even see a bridge to continu a stopping street near a river.

The dev's are committed to BOM. A better idea would be to open up the map to the community & use their resources to fix bad spawn points & enhance the English Channel map.

The IL-2 community getting back to what's important. Tiny static details and vegetation.

I am always amazed by the lighting in COD. the shots of the houses with the shadows makes it look so real. If detail gets much better I'll be tempted to start looking in the windows.

This was my thinking too.

I like those screenshots. Very nice detail. So later a little life in that village, than it looks great.
