DT == Channel Map for IL2 1946

[=FPS=Salsero]

It is quite clear for me that the "historic" map of the Channel (Dover-Calais area) will not be added to the Il-2.
However, I really do see one workaround.


Is it possible to expand the "Atlantida" island on the Normandy2 map, making it 3-4x bigger, with another 1-2 airfields, and maybe a seaport on it?

In my previous message I have attached a sketch of such map. I would be even more happy to see the map a bit expanded northward, with even bigger "Atlantida" islet.
Of course, a more radical approach would be to make this island VERY big, to have the fully-blown coast there, maybe even we can have a Southampton, Portland, and Isle of Wight lookalikes, and the Needles put on it. The map will be not more (or less) "historic" than the Italy map. The british coastline will be almost twice as near than in real life, plus shifted and compressed - but still recognizable.

What we'll get this way is not strictly speaking the BoB theatre, rather the D-Day theatre, which is already present in the game anyway.
And this will allow for the building of the proper D-Day missions/V-1 intercept missions, since few of the were fired at Southampton, AFAIK



The island expansion sketch is attached here:

The DDay map is attached as a bitmap.


I hope this workaround might be acceptable for all the parties.
