Marianas World War II Map "Weight"

[Bowie]

Low level WWII dog-fighting puts a lot of demand on the map, unlike high altitude radar/missile engagements.

Any chance this new map can be "lightened" up, to the WWII Normandy Map level?

Low level dog-fighting has required choosing locations like Guguan Island or Maug Atoll (which is awesome by the way), up at the northern end of the chain, because of the smaller land masses.

And this, in turn, puts a demand of Bingo fuel, which limits engagements to ~ 10-15 minutes before the A/C break off and head to Saipan/Tinian.

Water and clouds are both incredible and don't appear to have much "weight".

Missions are generally 8 v. 12 w/ the P-51D-25 and the reskinned Fw-190's.

Scenery and bubble set to minimum, running a 7700K/GTX1080/4K.

This set-up runs 16 v. 12 missions, in the mountains, on the Normandy Map, P-51/P-47/Bf 109/Fw 190.

 

TIA.

Agreed that this map should focus on performance over visuals. It sounds like ED is working on that, but the current Marianas map has remarkably poor performance for its size.
