As for BoB/BoF dispute:

- in my opinion the BOB is a much better choice for a first for several reasons: it is more popular and well known, therefore sales will be better...good for Oleg and team, good for us as it ensures tehre will be many more add-ons for SoW
- BoB needs less planes to be modeled to have a quite good set or aircraft.
- Hurricanes, Spitfires, Me's, He's, Do's, Stukas, etc, etc, almost all planes were widely use in other theaters and can be used again in future add-ones.
Like Africa - you add new maps, few more Italian planes, first US planes (P-40), few more German and British flyable which were Ai only in BoB. With comparatively little use of resources a new add-on. Plus 'backwards' it will make BoB more complete.

- For this modular approach I think BoB is much better choice of than BoF.

In BoF there is such a large number of different FRENCH aircraft needed that it takes a lot of resources. And none of them can be used much outside of BoF much. MS 406 in Finland indeed plus the Fokker, D520 already very little other use. Many many other important planes with almost no further use: Fairey battle, the lot of French bombers, Bloch fighter, etc.
In that sense BoB is better suited - and that's from me who loves the crap planes, the underdogs and the oddities (love those Farman bombers and the other odd bombers of the French).
If there ever is a BoF I would fly for France 95% of time me thinks...

Great sequence after SoW I would love to see would be:
Africa - add more italian, more flyable brit and german; first US planes.
Russia - (early war) add russian, add more US.
Pacifc - (early war) we got the brit planes by now and some US. So add more US and japanese.

The start all over again for mid and very late war...
