Besides that, my point was that we can already recreate such villiages, convincingly enough as far as I am concerned, in IL-2 1946, so this is certainly no trump card for Battle of Moscow.
I don`t think anyone has tried to do other than show the work being done for the sequel as many of us are interested after all it is just showing us work in progress.
The Towns,Villages and other map features have always been placed on the maps we recieved in previous releases and with the up and coming capability for ground battles the relevance of higher ground detail and object density with more attention to accurate mapping is more far more pertinant .The work looks good, so for those who like to show encouragement then why not tell the designers,it`s their choice ?
No-one has said the GFX detail a trump card in this case but never the less is what we can expect to see when we fly over or drive on the map.I would be happier building missions in FMB for BoM rather than having to build the target towns and villages first .For military targets close to towns and villages ,yes ,many have all built missions with specific installations like transport and equipment depots in 1946 but we do need a well populated map to start with in CloD & BoM.
If what you are saying is you want more access to objects in FMB as in FB 1946 then I agree on that.
I think that more of a concern for many is the hit on FPS if the details are so much higher & will this effect their PC`s ability to run the game with any fluidity at present. Until the new GFX engine is rolled out and any bugs in it are fixed then we wont know.There is the options to turn down the detail as there was in previous releases.
