Why not give yourself a glimpse of what it was like to go up against the best the Luftwaffe had, in outdated Soviet equipment? Or the hoplessness of a Japanese low level attack into the teeth of a US carrier fleet? There are plenty of other examples of this. It doesn't always have to be bleeding edge late-war types and arcade killing streaks.
There was a full real dogfight server that I used to be in almost every night a few years ago that had many differnt eastern front 1941 scenarios where if you flew the Russian side you were at a disadvantage. The best thing about the server was lots of ground targets and there used to be swarms of IL2's all in formation heading to the target and attacking it together, often resulting in being downed by flak, or shot down by fighters. It was great fun. I saved a few tracks but i'm not sure where they are now.
