The text Sognefjord is misplaced in south-western Norway. The fjord just north of Stavanger where the text
Sognefjord is located is called Boknafjord.

The real Sognefjord is located just north of Bergen where the weather zone boundary is drawn.

Given the importance of Shetland during the war, it's tempting to move the sea border so Lerwick would be adjacent to both north sea and Faeroes gap.
This would be a change from how WiFFE works, but still..

As shown, an 8-range aircraft in Torshavn can cover 3 important sea areas, which I think is to powerful.
The sea boundary should be changed so that Torshavn is 5 hexes away from Norwegian sea, and maybe even more for faeroes gap.
I'd actually advocate moving the border so Iceland would be on the border between Faeroes and Denmark strait. This would be a much better aproximation to military reality. I think the main reason WifFE has this the way it has is the limitations of offmap boxes, which makes it awkward to create offmap islands that border multiple sea areas.
