Yup, i will take the Eastern Front followed by North Africa, over the Pacific any day of the week!

Couldn't agree more mate. Flying the old IL2 series made me research the Eastern front in depth, and I couldn't believe how dismissive of the importance of it my historical upbringing had been. No doubt down to cold war suppression of the facts.:evil:

Not really from a VVS perspective, other than a 'VVS Fighter Aces of WWII' type book, but a good read generally is 'A Writer at War' from actual notes made at the time by war correspondent for Krasnya Zvezda, Vasily Grossman.

Superb book. Most of my other research was online via links from good ole wiki.;)

WHat you guys need is this:

First volume got a bit expensive. Still the best book series on the airwar over the eastern front available.

It's a great suggestion. New Guinea is a very interesting area and I was disappointed to not have it when Pacific Fighters shipped. Yeah we have the initial Port Moresby area covered but the majority of the fighting happened further to the north west.

North Africa is also high on my list.

And... you know the battles in China and Burma were very interesting and hardly ever covered although I suspect political interference would probably kill any official expansion into this realm.

The Pacific would be nice, and in the same vein as what Europe proposes to be, with packs released covering the major battles/ fronts in order of historical development.

One thing i really miss with CoD is the planesets from the pacific. The difference in tactics required is stark in the midwar years- the USA planes are heavily armoured and dive like banshees, but the Japanese planes are nimble and pack a killer punch.
I really enjoyed the online battles regularly swapping sides and adopting the different tactics required. With any luck the CoD series will move into the pacific theatre to give us that opportunity again (i notice the list of key commands includes things like arrestor hooks and seat height adjustment, so that's a good sign).

hey guys!can you please enlighten me and tell me what the Northrop-Grumman problem is?
