What are the main differences between 2 and 3?

I don't have a clue myself...

I believe 3 was the general graphics upgrade; lighting, horizon, textures etc, and new terrain system upgrade

Yes plus being able to use VR. IMO, I liked AH2 better though. All the custom terrains, the old DA, it was much easier to read E on planes going into the merge. I liked it better for the most part, but the graphics did need an update for sure.

I like the new towns better but think they should be a little larger than they are.

These just feel like a generic layout, something a computer would come up with. The other towns had street names, businesses had names on building, they had common areas surrounded by walls where you could try to hide a tank and pop others coming into town. It just felt more like it was put together over time as they built it up a bit at a time. I think it was laid out better so as you had to make a couple passes to get it down.
