They all have differing views of their participation in the war. Americans were the Arsenal of Democracy, Britain stopped the Germans on the last stand of their Island, Russians gave more blood than any nation to blunt the Blitzkrieg. I respect that. They all have a story to tell, and intelligent people piece together history from all sides and form the best version of the truth they can come up with.
The original poster was merely making a realistic marketing suggestion. What British Kid doesn't dream of being a Spitfire pilot? What German Kid wouldn't want to fly a FW-190, defending the homeland? Are these kids full of "American Ignorance"?
My last point is this. "American Ignorance" is usually attributed to viewing the entire world through the single lens of American experience, which is something you do without realizing it. You certainly made your point about American Ignorance, but not in the way you intended.

My response was regarding the name changing on the American version of the game. I said nothing about the British or other versions. So take it in that context.
Also, as I said above, there are not enough American planes (and the mustang itself lacks a real cockpit) for the suggested name change to make sense. That kind of marketing move would look like a shallow attempt to gain extra sales while misrepresenting the product at the same time.
Also, you don't know enough about me to reach any conclusion about my intelligence. If you are basing it off what I write on an internet forum, then either you yourself are lacking in intelligence or you simply meant it as an insult. I'll be nice and assume the latter.
