With the help of Aviaskins guys I started the map of Voronezh area.

After their experiences taking Voronezh during Fall Blau in July 1942 ,
( the First Battle of Voronezh ),
the Germans referred to it as "that cursed town".
This battle was , in many ways , a precursor to the Stalingrad battle -
where German armoured forces were tied up in deadly urban combat.
I listed this as a map to consider a long time ago . . . a long time.
Fantastic choice , Uzin !
You are always choosing interesting material !

Best of Luck with it.
We all know the results will be excellent.

Here is the next version of Voronezh map.
After creating map_H on the basis of satellite data,rivers were drawn in the valleys, forests, the rail, highway and country roads were made and most of bridges were added. Contours added. Most of airfields located and their terrain levelled off.
Since no special objects are engaged, the map is readily flyable as it is.
No population of inhabited places still not occured.
Temporary textures were those present in original default map of Kursk, they might be given higher level e.g. by Cyberolas RRR variants.

Here the present state of the map can be d/l :

Just replace the former version of the map by :

My Hungarian Grandpa fought there

The area was not totally flat.
Can't tell about the exact geographical formations.

Korotoyak at the hungarian center Sector IV. Hadtest


If you ever came across Wartime pictures of the hungarian Front you'll see sth. special
for the Region. Allocated at IV.Hadtest Frontline between Korotyak and Sztorozsejevo, and further down into the Italian Army sector until Pawlosk.
In general these chalk Formations spread on the Western bank until Serafimovitcs, the Romanian Sector.
Chalk Hills on the Western Bank of Don. Strange geological hills, slopes. High enough for a Ju88 flying underneath the top sides.
The Eastern banks of these formations in summer where rowed with flame throwers.

The Hungarian Artillery took camp there, and the units just loved this tiny geographical glitch in the repeated flat emptiness.
These Chalk formations you can trace in Hungarian army pictures dating Summer 1942, foxholes, trenches, artillery dugged on top of such strange
formations. But not just that, the Hungarians even drilled Bunker, Housing into the Western side of such Hills, which gave them some better comfort
than the plain soil.

this how the sector looked in strange contrast to the flat being


overlooking Rudkino
