1:2 or 1:4 Sow BoB Map?

[Xilon_x]

Remember SOW not is arcade game not is a stupid arcade game for little children but SOW is a real ww2 simulator.

Real distance of fly
Real time of fly
Real tattic of fly and real tecnic of navigation whit rules and protractor.

if i take of from Desvres to coast of England and navigate at 400km/h in 5minute arrive to England coast. i prefer real distance and real time of fly.

for arcade mode exist different tipe of map little map for a little dogfight but WAR is WAR AND ENGLAND IS ENGLAND not SICILY ok you understand me?

Says who? Why should SOW alienate such a large user base? I know Oleg and co are striving for perfection in both graphics and realism, and I hope they achieve that, as many here do (yourself included by the sounds of it) but don't forget there are options to turn down this realism (no collisions, infinite fuel/ammo etc), so that many others can enjoy the game. Why not include smaller scale maps as an option? You don't have to use them if it's too stupid or arcadey for your needs.

P.S. When I was a little child I loved flight 'simulators', and that love continues to this day!

Thanks for the heads up, but you only cover the shortest distance over the channel.

What about flying to London?, What about taking off from Norway bases, if they are available? What about taking off from Angers with a Ju-87?

Not every german base was near Calais! And also not every mission was to bomb an airfield on the area of the picture you show.

I would love some smaller online maps, and as far I've understood Oleg's statements, we will get some of them with initial release.

I hope that all of that smaller online maps will be phantasy areas. When it comes to real areas then I hope they all will be 1:1.

I´m talking about real areas only. I want real areas maps on 1:1 too, but also think that for multiplayer, if the area is very very big, a 1:2 or 1:4 version of the area would be very good for online wars and/or multiplayer missions and campaigns.
For example, if you take the Pacific and want a realistic 1:1 map of the Salomon Islands, its almost unusuable for online, but things change with a 1:2 or 1:4 version of the area. In this case its apply because the distance from Norway bases are quite large, if the map include them.

I agree. Me and a mate like to fly coop campaigns but can't spare too many hours flight time; it's frustrating too if you fly for ages, only to get taken out at the first sniff of any action. Smaller scaled maps would be ideal in this situation (i.e. real locations in 1:2/1:4 scale).

Pacific theatre isn't a real topic yet, so it's quite useless to talk about it now. I think when time has come to get a pacific theatre then SoW will be progressive enough to allow modders building their own online maps.

I prefer a real map with exact size and exact distances.
otherwise I can not calculate the route
I can calculate the amount of fuel
We can not calculate the type of target to hit and how I hit.
But what do you think?
you think that a real pilot of ww2 during fly navigation scratching his balls?
This is not 'a game.With and simulation.
also the size of objects on the ground sizes and lengths should be actual size.
i remember the to il-2 tanks were as big as a house the planes were more 'smaller tanks the size of the objects were not accurate.
I remember the American aircraft carriers were not the exact size.
pilots of ww2 during a navigation loock a chart and remaing in formation whit your friends pilots and speak to radio
pilots of ww2 control and management the ejine of airplane e controll altitude level and fuel reserve
pilots of ww2 study and calculate the route and controll the atmosferic water or rain in the proximity

in IL2 Sturmovik 1946 during online game players drivers do not maintain order.
team not mantein a perfect formation.
make reckless maneuvers.
endanger the lives of teammates.
taking off without permission.
shoot bullets mates themselves.
put at risk up its own bases.
During a session online there not have 'Order all make their own way.
in reality 'ww2 could result in the court martial.
during online game the palyer did not behave properly.
you in realty of ww2 risk a court martial.

It was an EXAMPLE!

Experience in flying another combat sim of some renown and longevity, a 1:2 (half scale) map works just fine.
