The SWPA and Burma (really CBI) are the best suited for il-2.
Papua/New Guinea was in play from early 1942 til the middle of 1944. Sure, there were some places that were total slaughters, but there WERE effective japanese units (even if on the defensive) well into 1943. PNG would take maybe 2-3 maps to do properly.
The Solomon Islands is another map. Guadalcanal to Bougainville will fit on one, and Bougainville to New Britain/New Ireland (both complete islands) will fit on another. That gives action from Spring 1942 til 44.
