Great news that the map is still being developed.
a) Small rivers are not modelled well by the IL2 engine. Probably better omit them.
b) More villages are always nice to fly over, but a lot of work to make each one look different.
c) Well, I don't know the area but if isolated buildings or groups of trees are a feature of the area then it will add a lot to immersion. The main FPS issues are in large built up areas or industrial areas. These isolated features have little impact on the way the game performs but add a lot of visual interest.
Many users still struggle to run the larger maps with old PC's. It may be useful to release a low density version of the map as well as the high density version.
