anyway, two possible examples of 'historical' maps:

Dover-Calais


Isle of Wight - Cherbourg


the maps are small (the shown mapgrids are 50kmx50km !). But attack on channel ships, costal Airfields and Radarstations are possible with these maps.


In total, the given planeset (beside the Spitfire ) would well fit in a Greece Spring 1941 map. But i guess, that is too much work !

I'm 100% with Frankyboy.

i hope i am not worng with the position of Dunkirk

here a more shore based map for Dunkirk and Battle Of France (sure in later stages) operations.


the amount of airfields, espacially around Pas de Calais, would have to be reduced
and about small, compare this 240kmx130km map to some of the IL2 maps

Personally, I like the idea of a smaller scale channel map for quick DF's as well as a Battle of France map. I think I'm right in saying that Canon's BoB map is reduced scale and that still 'feels' about right for online DF's.

For those that are talking about valleys etc. how about a north east cost of England and Scandinavia map? Again as Luthier has advised, it might not be historically accurate but maybe a smaller scale map with hills on the British side and Fjords on the Scandinavian side is possible?

pip pip,

good idea !!
a fictional NorthSea map with Scotland and southern Norway.

playground for the RAF Bomber- and Costalcommand.

because of the distance (over 400km) i would suggest a 1/4 scale

+1000

I was just about to suggest this, the area between Banff and Peterhead on the Scottish coast. Omitting Norway would allow there to be more map area as land...make it an air-start for German bombers, no doubt you could start them off-map since no doubt the map engine generates endless sea off the edge of the map. This gives them some flying time to the target and allows the fighters time to climb to make high-altitude interceptions.

What about a "What if" map. South England, October, Germans have already landed and hold a few of the southern airfields and are conducting free roam flights over sothern England to Mop up the last of the remaining RAF Fighters.

A Dunkirk centred map would make a good team map too.

EDIT : Thought of one more What if map - Last stand in Brittany

The Breton Redoubt. The French plan that was never carried out to fall back to the Brittany peninsular and fight a last stand.
The French armies in Brittany and the Vosges would have a chance to regroup while the Germans were thinking twice about entering the gap between them. The fight would go on..
This would be a role reversal with the RAF having to fly over the Channel to give air cover and bomb German Army positions.

A map where I am in a fight in 2 minutes max

As long as you're willing to work on new maps, then please consider an addition of France map going southern (to Paris), which can work in an online war in connection to the North France map that I already told you before.

And by similar thinking, what about an English map northern of what you have now, so we can work a fictional scenario of "Germans invaded - took London - but English keep on fighting from Manchester/Newcastle/etc".

At last, just to add my 2 cents, I don't think that we need any unrealistic map. Just cut what you have now and if possible make a few additions.

How do you even expect to get any altitude with that little flight time. I would like to fly the 1:1 scale map online as I really enjoy historical accuracy.

Yes. Take smaller "clicks" of the "channel" map and make a few over Belgium and France, and some over England. Some of the coastal line of Dover to Tangmere and so on. WOuld be suitable. If something else would be made at a later time, then yes, some of northern areas, as Scotland to Norway, Herdla and such would be nice. But as an easy quick fix, split the channel map into bits
