I disagree. If even the beginning is childish ( basic concept behind the campaign >>Malta = Isle Of wright, Tripoli 40 km south of Malta, Sicily located 10-15 km from Malta, etc., etc.) then so every mission ending will be.

some games require ones self imagination to enjoy the gameplay, especially true in CLod's case, with being abandoned by the devs but being limited added to by the mods...make the best of a bad situation

I believe your post very unconstructive!
If some people construct a very good mission pack with the means available, it is very low to start nitpicking about the compromises they had to accept.
If one really is a fan, the fantasy will fill in the missing distances correct coastlines.
If one is not a fan but a history nut, wait for TF5.0 or 6.0 or even later when the correct maps are available.

Agree. In IL2 I have play SpitnFire and Hurricane Season campaigns, the best for IL2. Both on East Europe maps, not Channel, and I don't care. Malta on Isle of Wight, cool by me until we have a MTOps map. Its agame.

That's great for you. The battle for Malta is something I'm especially interested in and I've been rather steeped in it over the last ten years or so. If I had only a passing knowledge of the area it would probably be okay. But the stony desert textures, unrealistic location and Afrika Korps skins are far too much of a stretch to be credible.

I dont think he is going for the 'credible'...you cant do credible with Spit 1a and E4 anyway. Blenheims should be Hudsons. There is none of the right ships. It is not such a uptight project because historical is not possible with COD as it is todays version. It is just fun. This new Tfmod version does not use desert tiles too. If you see video it uses fall map...still not Malta-i have been there 3 times-but closer except there is now and then very green fields.

As things stand at the moment, I'd rather have Portland than Malta.
