I think that it would be a good idea to add a top view of the map that use large NATO simbols for units. Player could be able to switch from 3d view to "strategic" view with an hotkey. I think it would be useful for the player to have a strategic picture of the overall situation and for AARs etc.

Hot key 3 give a moderately zoomed out view, but perhaps you'd like one more zoom, maybe one more zoom level 4?

I find unit icons tend to get too small at much more than zoom out level 3.

You might want to check out some of the icon mods. you can find a summary of mods here tm.asp?m=1784883.

I find myslef using the min-map for some planning, as well as for looking at areas of interest. For me it works to use zoom level 3, thenclick on mini-map to view areas of interest, or even just use mouse scroll key.

The folks here seem to be pretty open about incorporating suggestions.

Yes, i want to see the whole map from the top or at least a good part of it.

You've got the point, icons are too small if I zoom out to the map. We need dinamic size icon (if I zoom out they become bigger or they become big NATO symbols).

thank you, I'll look.

Yeah, I also use the mini map a lot, but it's small. For taking screenshot (for AARs or something) or planning a strategy, a zoom out map could be better.
