Possible new eastern front maps - some food for thought

[Treetop64]

I think it's a great idea.

One of the rare things that I really hate about IL-2 is the very limited size of the maps. The Leningrad, Kurland, Slovakia, and Romania maps are currently the only Eastern maps worth flying over any more. The rest make you feel as though you're flying over a game board on the coffee table.

For contemporary equipment ten years ago, rendering small maps was necessary and acceptable. There's just no excuse for it today, though.

At a minimum, make three separate maps; one each for the territories covered by the three German army groups, with some overlap between the groups. A separate map for Scandinavia would be nice. Heck, include an option - if practical - to load the entire Eastern front. It may take up a bit of HD space and extra RAM, and take a few more seconds to load, but believe me, that would be something I would be more than happy to live with.

Man, just think of the dream DCG scenarios one could come up with if proper maps were available, as well as for DGen!
