We had small discussion on Hslan on the other day. So, why the planes?
BoB, or Ardennes Offensive, is notorius of the bad wheather which gave Axis upper hand. Why? Because Allied air superiority couldn't be used. Needless to say, so couldn't the Axis. On map the wheather is bad (= visibility is low) like it was in real life. Airforce was used during the Offensive, but fighters only when the wheather was clear. Therefore it should not be hard to induce there should be no planes in the map.
These are the facts, but of course the map maker has freedom to use his artistic liberties and dictartorship on his own creation.
P.S. That's was the critical feedback part. The map is awesome piece of work.
