I'd really like to see some good quality eastern front maps but:
It's hard to find documentation, pics or maps of eastern front airfields towns etc. I've been searching for quite a while the internet some years ago and with very poor results.It's not about creating accurate maps but about conveying the right feeling. Maybe a russian speaker could have more success or maybe Russians already started doing this only we didn't know. Maybe it's good to post a call for russian speakers on the general discussion.
Another thing for skinners: creating a couple of more town buildings with "Russian architecture" , the russian buildings are very few.
Another difficulty: textures representing the steppe/uncultivatetd areas which were quite large. Steppe is boring even in real life lol so then it'd be hard to create good steppe textures.
If you think about beautiful Slovakia: it is beautiful because of the a)varied landscape and varied textures, b) because most of the flatland is covered with very nice crop textures because c)the towns and villages are looking credible. With Russia a) and b) are not possible for most regions (Crimea and Kuban have quite interesting landscapes though.)
