Idea

It may well work out like that. It has been suggested that the Mediterranean comes next, with Spit Vs P-40s and Bf-109 Fs added to the existing plane set. After that, maybe some Soviet aircraft (including a Sturmovik of course), Fw 190s etc. And then it gets complicated - western front, or Pacific war? P-51s either way, but do we want Heavy bombers, or carrier ops?

No doubt this will depend on the success of CloD, and/or the participation of 3rd party developers. The more 'open' design of this sim (compared to 'classic' IL-2) may help things along, though the amount of work involved in modelling aircraft to the required standard is going to slow developments down, I'm sure.

Actually the operations of the American Volunteer Group (Flying Tigers) are ideally suited to the demanding production limits of the sim.

You would only need two Allied fighters initially, the Curtis Hawk 81 for the AVG and the Brewster Buffalo for the RAF. The RAF also operated the Blenheim in Burma in the early days and we already have that.

For the Imperial Japanese Army Flying Corps you again only need two fighter types, the Ki-27 "Nate", and the Ki-43 "Oscar", plus one twin egine bomber type Ki-21 and one single engine fixed gear attack plane, the Ki-30.

Simple.

Except the huge mofo of a map!
