True! For scenario balance, I think that you'd need more Hurricanes than Bf-109. That's not very realistic, though, unless it was a very good day for the RAF.

Once upon a time, there were prohibitions on BoB or Korean War content.

But, since CloD has come and gone, and 1c has sold the IL2 franchise to 777 Studios, IIRC, there are no longer any restrictions.

It should be incredibly easy. Back in the day, the Spitfire Mk I was the first modded plane in the game for the reasons you mentioned.

I realy would like to have a Ia and IIa in the game, but even between those early models, there are some differences in the cockpit (fuel gauges), so its not that simple. Early War scenarios in the West (phony war, France BoB) are a lot of fun (that´s why I play Cliffs online) and having some nice long offline campaigns in Il-2 would be a dream come true.
Large Maps covering eastern France and western Germany would be very interesting for later war bombing raids as well.

Correct,
map is in progress.

My choices:

Ruhr Valley -focused on Essen, but taking in the area from Dortmund to Koeln including parts of the Rhine. That would be about the size of the Berlin map that's currently in the game. This area was the scene of many early to mid-war RAF raids, including the famous "Thousand Plane" raid on Cologne. Later, it was the focus of 8th Air Force raids.

German North Sea Coast - From Emden to Bremerhaven (perhaps Hamburg). This map could be a bit bigger since the area isn't as heavily built up. This area was the main focus of RAF and USAAF bombing raids against U-boat production facilities.

Ruhr, Hamburg--I like :cool:

By the way, I just realised that the map presented by Sita has (at last) correct locations names. Well done!
For those who are not aware: the stock Crimean map and its mods use toponyms introduced in 1944-1948.

Question to Sita - are any topographic corrections planned? For example, Balaclava Bay (missed in original version), mountains in right places. And not the least - those Sevastopol breakwaters need to be eliminated.

For those wanting to fly larger maps, I am working on the Solomons map using the actual bases of the time. Currently have the October 42 map flyable.
If anyone wants to fly, look for me, Dolphin, on Hyperlobby.

1. For the dogfight servers it would be very nice to have some zones with higher concentration of smaller airstrips, at the distance of 15-20 km. Say 4-6 strips. No need to make them AI-proof. No need to have any nets/tanks/towers. Even the runway texture could be absent. Preferable locations n the areas with beautiful scenery and where battles were fought.

2. Is it possible to extend Crimea+Kuban map to the north as to include Perekop and some land north to it? Crossing Sivash was quite an interesting operation.

3. Krasnodar dam was built post-war, as late as in 1973. It it possible to delete it?
