well , having satellite view would be great for sure , but after making few missions i strangely didn't encounter big problems . the topographic system is very well made . i just placed 5 tanks and i placed them well all at the first attempt . same for airbases , all airbases statics i placed so far , i placed them well at the first attempt . it's cool . the map is much smoother than v1 and much less buggy (zoom latencies,freezes) too . seems for objects placing satellite is not missing that much , but where i think , it will be missing it's to make missions where you need to bomb that valley hidden factory but you can navigate placing an object an searching for easter eggs with Ctrl + F11 too
