Quick question: Has there been any thought of adding a QMB option that allows one to select between two templates with different densities of anti-aircraft guns?
The original Il-2 demo had this feature.
It seems particularly important with the I-15 and other slow aircraft - where '43 or '44 era anti-aircraft cannons can make some quick mission maps unflyable. It would be great to be able to choose between lots of cannons or just a few MG-42... With 3rd party QMB missions, one could even exploit such a feature to select between 1942 era ground targets and the 1946 era ones... or select between light anti-aircraft guns (low-altitude) or heavy anti-aircraft artillery (for the Pe-8, TB-3, Il-4 and B-25 high altitude runs). This way the player could choose whether to only burden the processor with the right kind of guns.
So my suggest for a QMB the AAA option:
None vs. Light AAA vs. Heavy AAA
(or if you want to get fancy increase to five options instead of three: None vs. Light AAA early vs. Heavy AAA early vs. Light AAA late vs. Light AAA Heavy)
