OK, here's the scenario a developer has made the perfect ww2 combat flight sim just for you. The graphics are photo perfect the FMs are spot on. It's super immersive and you have the control set up of your dreams.

The only thing is that you can choose only one flyable plane and only one theater of battle.

What would you choose?

The struggle over the vast plains of the Soviet Union, fast and furious battles where the enemy is easy to find never to high in the sky, no big bombers to escort or to attack, from dogfights between two fighters to the big battles with more than hundred planes one engine or two engines.
A front where the quality of the pilot is maybe more important than the plane he flies.
Where you can have sunny skies and snow covered ground in the north, sandy ground and thundery skies in the south. Where there are great plains and also hills, cities, marshlands and forest without limits.
But every front has is qualities.

Hs 129 B-2 - Eastern Front

If I had to limit it to one operation I'd choose the Battle of Kursk. :cool:

Typhoon patrolling low over the channel with low clouds ceiling, rains, furious waves and fast sneaking grey ghost in the forms of low flying FW190... Tally-Ho !

I'd want a plane that can do a bit of everything, so probably P-38 over the pacific.

What can the P-38 do that the 190 can't :P

Still fly when one engine is out for starters..really helpful when you're attacking groundtargets. :)
Plus I like how stable a counter-rotating prop aircraft is.
...and can the 190 carry rockets, 2x2000LBS bombs or droptanks to give it a massive range?

Something like that, either as a Typhoon or as the 190, i really like the whole channel front idea with Rhubarb missions in overcast weather.

Alternative choice, the night bombing campaign over Europe. Pathfinder Mosquito or a LW night fighter, preferrably a Ju88, because i just love those multi-role birds. I could also see myself in a Lancaster.
The reason i like this is because it would be like playing a combination of IL2 and silent hunter: you get to fly airplanes, but you are blind most of the time and you have to play the whole cat and mouse game with sensors just like in a submarine sim, it's just that things happen faster. Plus, it's probably the only combination of theater/scenario that has never been implemented in a flight sim.

'cept the British ones didn't and the p38 ones rotated the "wrong way" :D

And a quite fascinating one on top of it, there was a whole war solely relying on electronics between the UK and Germany back then. Hardly covered, yet the basics of every air defense system these days.

Me-110/Ju-88/HE-219 night fighter campaign with working radar and shrage(sp?) musik, ground plotters, and Mosquito intruders. Of course, you would also need British bombers to shoot at, flak, search lights.
