THE 3 FIRST IMPORTANT NATION NAZI-FASCIST IS GERMANY-ITALY-JAPAN.

In order of significance in the outcome of the war - GERMANY-JAPAN-ITALY - by any reasonable measure.
Given the relatively small contribution Italy made on the Eastern Front, and their non-participation in the Pacific war, a simulation that was first based on the Eastern Front, and was then expanded to cover the Pacific is unlikely to include a great deal of coverage of Italy's part in the air war. A far larger omission from the sim is the entire Western Front - with the exception of a few minor maps. The Mediterranean/North African front is also largely omitted. In both cases this seems to be at least in part due to 1C:Maddox not wanting IL-2 to compete too directly with SoW:BoB and later updates. The list of aircraft for SoW:BoB indicates that the Italian contribution is if anything overrepresented. I'd be grateful for that.
And just out of curiosity, how many Italians really want to be reminded of their Fascist past?
