The size of the map has been reduced.

I had developed a mission with naval units on the north side of the map. Some of the units are no longer on the map. You can see mission routes that go off the map on the north side of the map. Just my observations. I am sure in as the next phases are developed and implemented the map will expand north, at least, I hope. Naval ops are pretty important.

I am in the same situation, my CVBG doesn't show up on the map- but it is still there I can fly over it and everything is where it is supposed to be.

[Darcaem]

Yep, I've just noticed that myself when I couldn't find some of my late activation groups Maybe this is part of the optimization? Denmark was totally plain and unusable anyway (at least to my liking), and not part of the map on its current phase

[Nealius]

We've only got 62nm with which to utilize a carrier group, which is disappointing. 

[Essah]

Realistically you would never sail a carrier group into the North sea or the baltic. Firstly because they are too vulnerable in such small seas and secondly because there is no reason to place a carrier group when you might as well just fly from adjacent land bases that are unsinkable.

Probably true!

Can't be done, so there's that.

Carrier is a moving target. Land base is as easy as put the coords into the ballistic missile.

Why not?

They would have to pass under the Øresund bridge, which has 57m of clearence. That might be an issue (I have no idea how tall the superstructure of a modern carrier is).

It's over 74m for Nimitz class.

Hmm, the superstructure of the Queen Elizabeth carriers has a height of 56m. That almost seems like it was designed like this intentionally

The maximum draft for passing through the Sound (where the Øresund bridge is) is 7.2 m. A CVN (11.3 m draft) would have run aground before it got there.

Same issue as above (QE's are 11 m draft)

Ah, bummer

[MAXsenna]

Ah, bummer

Yup! As the others have already said, either the bridges are to low, or the water depth too shallow, whether you're traversing Øresund, Storebælt or Lillebælt. The Oslo-Kiel ferry can barely do it under Storebælt.

Why not?

The shiplanes goes mostly through Storebælt if I'm not mistaken.

So... we digress. Go back to the original premise. Is the map actually smaller than it used to be?
