With the upcoming intoduction of "The Slot" map being made an official part of IL2/46 we will have a map of the proper proportions to support large bombers. I have been flying on this map for some time using a mod pack and it will change the way people see the sim. Or it should anyway. I have flown multi hour missions on this map in the mod B-17 and H8K "Emily" flying boat. It is a different, and rewarding way to fly.
CS_Thor, overall I agree with you, the smaller and medium bombers should take priority, but the Japanese in particular are very short on bombers of any kind. Making the H8K a flyable would be a good thing for the sim, as it was uesd in every operational area of the Pacifc war, and would help "flesh out" a rather week Imperial Japanese plane set.
The Slot map is a work of art, those of you that have yet to see it will be gob struck.
