As someone else said,some cutscenes of you running at your plane while Luftwaffe is bombing the airfield,watching your best "virtual" friend hit by a bomb (and not just "Number three (cup of tea )" ) or by a 109 while landing , would be a very interesting feature without touching the simulation level of the sim.Or having an arrogant squad leader that mission after mission becomes like a second father for you and got killed during his last mission with a terrible hit over the spirit of your squad.

Not talking about incredible dramas ace combat style,just talking about true and possible backgrounds of your pilot during the BoB
+1 for that, as flying the same IL2 style "fly a fighter sweep to waypint x,y,z" gets a bit boring even though it's probably close to reality... If it gets too cheesy though I'm afraid there will be too much whining here. Something fun would be "Read Robert Wellums book included in the collectors edition or pdf in the normal edition and stop at page 21. Thats where the campaign start when you stand in the Hangar talking to Peter Sears and instructor Hayne comes up to you with the briefing for the first ride in a Tiger Moth"... They would need the Harvard too for that story though...

And Kraken, I also enjoyed the "cheesy" bond-style story of Strike Commander to have a break from my Falcon 3 campaigns and Aces over Europe "fly to x and back missions" in the early 90:ies

EDIT: having the Harvard to match the 108 is not a bad thought anyway - and can be used for further expansions too as it was used in almost every airforce in the "non axis" world at some point - and in Korea for active combat recon duty Imagine sitting in a T-6 when a Mig comes BnZ:ing
