I don't mind that they're so scaled. Maps like Gazala, El Al and any map with planes are hugely scaled but are still fun...
...add Siege of Tobruk and Mareth Line to that list. They can be fun, true. But you can tell those are all early FH2 maps, suffering from the scale and many other flaws. Of course there are others to suffer from that like Op. Cobra (which is one of the worst FH2 maps ever made IMHO), but that one was rushed into the official mod, made out of tournament map, only to give us the opportunity to play with american airplanes, which probably could wait and was a mistake.
Yet still, they offer something more than just planes, so they are some ups to make them play a bit better than unpopular air maps. Keep in mind, there are people who hate flying in FH2. I'm not a big fan of it too, and yet I loved the FHT version of Battle of Britian which IMO should take place of the vBF1942 remake in the CMP. It was much less arcadish and focused more on actual air battle instead of silly
fantasy bomber runs full of kamizakes and people who don't give a flying fuck about their planes. Uneven and unbalanced gameplay (bombers don't stand a chance against fighters, their role is to drop bombs and die) deprived this map of an adrenaline rush a proper dogfight can give, since only destroying the objectives matters.
FHT version of BoB, while also being scaled down a lot, at least was based on an actual terrain, it was focused around air engagements and felt less crouded, since players were spreaded out around the huge flag zones, and not just a few tiny objectives, what added a little bit of realistic feel into it:
