AKA, The Bay of Biscay.
I've been asking for this for years. This area is a dream for strike fighters and patrol bomber fans.
But, as you said, IL2 would need to add a number of planes, and perhaps a few more ships, to really bring the area to life. Also, it would require at least 2 maps to do the area justice, or perhaps just one large map at 1:2 or 1:4 scale.

This is another "forgotten" aspect of the Western Front where twin-engined types really shined. Most of the necessary plane set already exists, although a few new variants might need to be added. The only real problem is maps, since intruder ops mostly were over SW England, coastal France, and the Netherlands. Currently, we have nothing for those areas.
I'd also like to see TD get actual night fighter and night bombing ops sorted out first. After all, intruders need night bombers and night fighters to bomb, and night fighters need something other than bombers to shoot.
