What is wrong with you guys?

With respect, just because something isn't important to you doesn't mean everyone else feels the same. This is an historical sim. The German crews will be bombing historical towns.

I know many of us were hoping to be able to navigate using period maps and bomb aim using original target maps. Also, just feeling the atmosphere of undeveloped 1940s Britain would have been nice too.

This all goes out of the window if the map is based on modern Britain. I wouldn't be surprised to see the M40 in there too!

We're not talking about small differences here. Anyone who lives in the UK knows about the sprawl of the post war New Towns. Bracknell used to be a little village. Now it's a huge sprawling mess of a place. Same with Milton Keynes and countless other places.

I realise it's too late now....but it was a very simple task to obtain a period map before work began.
