If I remember right, HiTech wants all fields to be from .75 to 1.5 sectors apart. I think you'll find that all of the maps meet this requirement. You're also limited to 255 fields on large map. If you're in the designing mode you may want to consider field spacing before determining land mass.

The history is that level bombing was almost completely ineffective against shipping, except ships at rest.

there is only the planes were level about 50 feet off the water. The B25's skipped their bombs into the side of Japanese ships. Very effective technique. The Japanese might have got a british ship early in the war, but can't quite remember.

I don't see a lot of fields 3/4 of a sector away and I do see a lot of places where the airfields are allmost 2 sectors away.  I don't count a V field abeing close to an airfield as "close fields"
