Perhaps not for SoW, but there are six things I'd really love to see in a combat flight sim, if only to shut up the endless "chart wars" about aircraft performance:
1) Ability to "create your own ammo belts" using different types of ammo, e.g., just ball ammo (preferred by a few units) or different mixes of ball, tracer and armor-piercing, depending on mission and expected opposition, as well as personal preference.
2) Ability to downgrade aircraft performance to simulate damaged/worn out/badly maintained aircraft. Possibly the ability to slightly upgrade aircraft performance as well, to simulate "hot-rodded" aircraft.
3) Ability to choose different fuel types for certain aircraft based on historical availability.
4) Ability to introduce random mechanical failures. Certain aircraft were plagued by mechanical problems.
5) Degradation of airframe strength, engine performance, etc. over time. Possibly affected by environment, available maintenance facilities and available manpower.
6) The ability to start a mission with a damaged plane or one which has suffered a mechanical failure.
