I appreciate the pricing model for Normandy 2 and think it’s more than fair

 

 

Amen!

 

That's what makes all of this so smooth. If it was simply "too bad for you, buy the new one at full price"  it would be a bit crunchy. But to get a bigger and better version with an 80% discount, I have no complaints at all. 

 

DCS is an expensive hobby, but with the free trials and the discounts, as with the upcoming BS3, I think you're right and it's very fair.

A square doesn't mean that all its area will be modelled, as seen in other maps, some parts are left low poly, no objects.

Have you looked at the promo pictures? They show very two prominent spots that are now covered by the channel map and they don't look low poly, no objects to me......
You are right in principle, but the pictures suggest otherwise. That's where the confusion stems from (for me at least).

Because with the size stated above And including both London and Paris which we know are included in the Normandy 2.0 map, the area covers looks like this, which clearly covers the area in the channel map as well.

Granted it remains to be seen if we are right or not, BUT I can’t see any other reason why ownership of the Channel map would get you a discount on a 3rd partys map otherwise.   IF it didn’t make the Channel map redundant there would be no need to award owners of that map a discount.    
 

BUT I guess only time will tell.

 

I understand the logic of the "rectangle" argument. But consider that if that were all there was to it we would have a very detailed Crimea on our Caucuses map already. As a former Flanker 1 pilot, I really wish we did!

For anyone that didn't come across the Normandy 2 FAQ yet:

There are still some questions left unanswered though.
