huge disappointment

Not really surprising.

I like the planeset, but I hope that the quality of the map will improve when compared to BoBP.

Why don't you like Rheinland map ?

No, I think compared to Kuban it's really bad. No beaches, generic ground textures, lots of missing important airfields - just to name a few examples.

+1, same feeling for Arras map. But ground textures are not so bad IMO.

The problem with the ground textures is, that they are just an auto-generated mosaic and don't match the situation seen on aerial photos. This wasn't the case on the Kuban map, where the textures were manually placed and closely resembled the situation in the real world.

+1 Juri, I do not like the Rheinland map.

I was disappointed with it as well lots of stuff missing including the town I spent 14 years in!

I'm excited that Normandy is the next theatre, there's a lot to like about it and I also like the plane set.

Re the map textures, the proof will be in the pudding but I would point out that the BoS and BoM maps were updated so it could happen for the BoBP maps as well, especially as the devs will be continuing to refine the exisiting content as time goes by.
