In my professional opinion flaws were: Not including iconic aircraft such as the lancaster and mosquito, a poor representation of French, Italian and American aircraft, unkillable gun positions on all rear gunner and bomber aircraft, lack of clear definition in setting up game lobbies e.g. allies verses axis, single seat fighters only etc was a flaw. random deployment in team battles (makes absolutely no sense), no wave re-spawn in strike CTA and team battle.
These are the critical issues i would like to see fixed before adding a pacific campaign or preferably a north African campaign
I do know a lot of American and Japanese players would really like a pacific campaign. I would hope they focus on fixing flaws within the multiplayer modes, rather than simply adding a or devoting the game pacific campaign and marketing it as a new game. You can finish the single player within two days, it's the multi-player that keeps interest in the game.

I don't think it was harsh shadow - I think it was a valid point. I wan't to see a pacific section for sure but I don't want the game based on the pacific alone, that said I'll still buy it lol. There are so many other battles from across Europe and Nth Africa which should also be included just like the original it can cover a number of theatres of war.
One addition I'd like to see is more destruction of ground targets on trains, cars, trucks etc from cannon and mg fire off the plane, and I'd also like to see the AA from the ground be a little more dangerous like the PC version. I don't think I once took damage from ground fire on sim throughout the whole game.
As long as it's as good as the first I'll be happy.
