I agree. If this was any usual 'game' that we were looking at, we wouldn't care, but this isn't your usual game. Oleg has set the highest standards. Following previous update discussion you see the effort he has gone to regarding the landscape and photo-realistic colour, and he has gone to lengths to explain to us why it should look different from the sky than we're used to seeing on the ground. SoW could give us quite a unique look at the 1940s landscape and really help with immersion. It's too late now for widespread changes, but if there are a few significant errors I imagine the developer that created that section of the map could make changes quite quickly. It would be disappointing if the release isn't a good representation of the way it was - partly because it wouldn't have been much more work to get it right than to get it wrong.
