On Map, Off Map, what is the consensus please?

The airfield bombers and the bathtub navy must go. I firmly believe garbage like that is the main cause of CS decline.

By late 1944, the Western allies had established almost total air superiority over the battlefield. This allowed tactics such as the "Cab Rank", whereby Close Support Aircraft (CAS) units were airborne in the vicinity of ground ops ready to respond immediately to calls. Perhaps the development team could look at this without using on board aircraft. I refer to Huib's post above, which emphasises the need for research and thus understanding in scenario design.

The original Talonsoft team introduced sea elements -amphibious warfare- with West Front, as I recall. It worked then, and still does. The offboard artillery is a perfectly adequate facsimile of naval gunfire support. Unfortunately, later on some tried to develop this into the full gamut of maritime warfare, giving us the pathetic bathtub navy.
At both ends of Vietnam, for thirty years, the great deltas were the scene of incessant riverine warfare. I would expect to see the development team giving this aspect appropriate attention.

Respect for the legacy would be an important consideration for any development team. I expect this would lead to difficulties as errors are uncovered..how do such errors effect existing work? Is retention compatible with plans for the future?
