In Il-2 in every map we had also compromisses. Repeat: in every, is it crimea or moscow map, etc. And we were need to cut other possible historical action as well due to this fact .

Oleg,

JAMF is not referring to the size of the map (and, for example, no Duxford).

He is writing about some cities being larger than they were in 1940 and the map including POST-1940 structures. Dunkirk's Bassin de l'Atlantique, which is on the SoW:BoB map but wasn't built until after the war, for example.

I'm hoping the following images clarify my question more:



Today : "Safe Harbour" from heavy seas to the left, docks to the right, near city centre


Aerial '44. Harbour and sea access near city centre. Would overlay the image above to the right quarter, no channel going left.

Yes, we have it. but also with the drawn samples

Bear in mind that the Luftwaffe used effective flame dampeners. After extensive training in identifying flame patterns an American pilot said he never saw flames due to the dampeners but the training did help him separate Luftwaffe flights from Allied.

S!

I doubt they would run up the DB engine above idle as the manual for it states you have to wait until oil/fuel pressure exceed a certain limit. The idle RPM for DB605A-1 is 600-700rpm and in the video the RPM was not high IMO. But good points BadAim. Anyway in above videos can be clearly seen blue flames instead of yellow. I would bet the yellow would come if the mixture was way too rich or unburned fuel in the cylinders when firing up. Well, let's see..Also note that the blue flame did not light up the plane as much as in SoW video.
