Would it be conceivable to enlarge skins, using two 1024 x 1024 instead of one?
It would make a huge difference for surface detail and would maintain a healthy distance from Cliffs of Dover (for commercial reasons).
In terms of plastic models, CoD could be considered as 1/24 scale, forming a collection of few models of the higher quality.
Present day Il2 could be considered 1/72 scale, smaller and less detailed models, but numerous, with the potential for a complete WW2 collection.
With two 1024, Il2 would go to a sort of 1/48 scale, being still manageable for average skinner, and (I believe) no problems for today computers.
