RE: Can you mod the map itself?
From combat accounts, all 3 of the state farms I mentioned had branch lines running into them (small point). I guess that might be why Stalinskoe Branch has that name in the accounts.
It's hard these days to determine whether a piece of line should have the steep embankment it had in places. If you use street view now no embankment is visible, yet combat accounts from Oktiabrski clearly state that the cutting under the rail embankment adjacent was used as a command post, so you've got that right, I think.
There is a famous combat account (from von Ribbentrop's son, in the LAH) which tells of his experiences on 12 July and I think you have his 7 tank unit exactly where he says it was, but he talks of a large anti-tank ditch being right in front of his tanks and Russian tanks attacking from Prokhorovka foundering in it before they got to him. But your only anti-tank ditch at Oktiabrski is behind Ribbentrop's 7 tanks.
I have noticed many small things like this. But to be honest the needless kinks in the railways and the absence of balka-looking balkas are the only things I would really bother with.
I'll stop now. It's still a great game. I'm amazed that, against the AI, it can produce combat results which really do mirror the reality very well.
