The IL2 is an air combat simulation genre, which means everything is about combat and mostly aircraft vs aircraft. In other words, if you fly all the weird stuff people are always asking for... you would be asking to just get shot down all the time.

If we could get an honest poll for online or offline aircraft; the same aircraft choices would probably prevail across the board for most everyone... especially if they want to survive in the missions.
So why is TD working?
Really,I don´t give a sh... to the famous dogfights.FW-190 x P-51 in Normandy,P-47 x tanks in Bulge.
In the world of WWII games (all kinds) nobody want to explore Italy,France or Poland.All you see is Germany x US.It´s the Saving Private Ryan or Medal of Honor Allied Assault syndrome.
If you want to fly the most famous WWII planes,you can play any s#itty WWII sim,because surely you will find them there.Now if you want to fly those and the "other planes",IL2 is the best choice till now.
It´s like having a library.You don´t want just the books from the most notorious authors.You want to fill the library so it can be the most complete of the world.

About the cr@p planes.War doen´t mean hi-tech everytime and in both times.
Even USAAF was considered outdated when the war broke.
