oh Luthier, about topography

Bof!

If it was just about the iso-lines, I would not worry...documentation about real aspect of towns in 1940 (or close enough) is becoming largely available now...for free!

The elevations will be accurate according to Oleg in past discussions.

thanks all. once it's released SoW_BoB should be a hoot! Imagine bombers trying to stay under the radar all the way to their target. ought to make for some exciting COOPs at least.

You'll probably need to fly really close to the waves to avoid detection. It seems there was a second sysetem called Chain Home LOW that was used to detect aircraft as low as 500 ft (150m):

Note (later in the war):
"Later in World War II, centimetric Chain Home Extra Low (CHEL) radar were often co-sited with CHL sites. As the name implies, these sets provided radar coverage at even lower altitudes than was possible with Chain Home Low."
