You have to be quite optimistic to say this...this may be true for the planes, but the map has to be completed/revamped to even remotely resemble to something OK!
I understand that 1C may not have the resources to do it, as I think that even staging the work/rework over time (ie coast line and airfields, then harbors, then large towns, then smaller towns then railways, and i just consider the french side here) there is at least one year of work for a small but dedicated team.
This would depend on 1C agreement, and also on some core software improvements, like the ability to create woods as full objects (not a gathering of trees), to have 3D rivers, to be able to modify textures at least locally (airfields, railways)...
I believe much of these improvements are in the tubes, if not already existing, they are just not activated yet. There is also a distinct possibility that the next episode(s) will bring its(their) own set(s) of improvements which will be then be retrofittable to BoB.
Discussion with the Dev Team about this subject is difficult now because they are otherwise busy, but I have good hopes the time for a more relaxed stance will come, and then we will be able to set plans in motion.

PS I wonder if there would be an interest in providing the community with photos of the different approaches to the various BoB airfields...from the air...the real airfields, as they stand now (=not terribly changed since 1940)...(french side only, sorry)?
