The words "Chato", "Mosca"/"Rata" or "Messer" sounds more at least in Spain, than Spitfire, that never saw service here.
Even with a real on flight Chaika nowadays based near Barcelona, lots of non related to aviation people come to see it and constantly name it as Chato or Mosca. Once they heard from our grandpa these two names as republican fighters, it's part of the popular memory and for every time one expert specifies it's a Chaika, there are 10 replies that it's a Chato or even a Mosca. I suppose this phenomenon only succeeds in Spain, not on other countries, but I found it funny to observe.
Ther's the tendency to think that any SCW based game, no matter a simulator or what, will be an echonomical disaster. I'm still wondering what will happen, specially after the really great success I saw of an RTS that focuses only on SCW.
About the topic at all, years ago (6 years ago, how fast passes time!) I requested on Ubi forums SCW for Il-2 as a fanboy request any other thing.
Now Im not requesting; I've only named planes of BoB that were common with SCW and I showed interest on the developing tools to work on that.
