As an Arab, I notice this every once in a while and then a part of me dies of cringe. Of course it’s only a very minor mistake so hopefully they should be able to fix it easily lol.

Haifa and British Mandatory Palestine
I would like to bring to the attention of the Bytro staff and developers a historical inaccuracy in the 1939: Historic World War map.
On the map, Haifa is in French Syria. In fact in 1939 it was part of the British Empire as territory of Mandatory Palestine.
It may be trying to represent part of French Lebanon (given the famed cedars and the forest terrain) but if so it is too far south.
Quick look on the web will easily confirm this, for example:
https://al-shabaka.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Agha-2020-Figure-1.png (Not very good map but Haifa is legible)
These photographs show HM battlecruiser Repulse in Haifa during the 1938 Arab Revolt.
I know Bytro has altered the map recently to better reflect historic boundaries (the cession of Dili in the East Indies to Portugal), and this would affect gameplay relatively little, so I think this is worth mentioning.
Screenshot attached.
Aeroplanes are interesting toys but of no military value.

A pretty mechanical toy [...] the war will never be won by such machines.
