Not at all! Admittedly, if you're looking for single-engined Allied fighter action, you're mostly out of luck, but otherwise there was plenty of combat in that area. Fans of twin-engined or strike fighters will find lots to love.
For the UK, there were plenty of Beaufighter and Mosquito sweeps. For the U.S. there were some early heavy bomber raids against the U-boat pens in the area which were occasionally supported by Spitfires or P-38s. And, for the Germans, there were defensive missions against those Allied intrusions - usually Bf-109, but also Bf-110 and Ju-88.
