only 12 planes?!?!?

12 sounds good too me, lets not forget that these planes will be full of details, something that you'll probably not find in any other game. I'm pretty sure the game will become moddable too, and lets not forget potential expansions !

Only 12 planes? More like 12 planes ? Awsome !

The aircraft list is pretty much bang on what you'd expect in a Battle of Britain simulator. I do have to repeat this because it's often misunderstood but the Battle of Britain, depending on who you ask, starts in June 1940 and ends at the end of October 1940. Historians will argue slightly over the exact dates where the battle "officially" begins and ends but some people have to realize that this is a very isolated (although pivotal) period in history. It's over a year before the Americans become involved and almost a full year since World War II began.

Thus the planeset for such a scenario is also limited. It's pretty much bang on what Oleg should have done because it keeps things constrained and allowed his team to develop and get used to the tools.

From what I understand there are possibly three teams working for the future of IL-2 and that we *might* be headed for North Africa, Moscow and Korea. But it will take time to produce the necessary numbers of quality aircraft to represent those theaters as well. I'm sure we'll be seeing the return of American aircraft before too long but only where it makes sense historically.
