Possibly, but which one?

Speaking for myself, I prefer to fly in periods (and theatres, for that matter), more immersive. So Pacific '41, or Korea '88 (Falcon), or late Vietnam War, for example.

Plus, the Israeli-Arab air battles tend to be a bit one-sided.

Take your pick: 1967 War (The Six-Day War) or the 1973–74 War (The Yom Kippur War)

The battles in the game Il-2 are not true to history.

Umm, not a big scholar of Middle East, but there's 1948 and 1980s conflicts as well. Kind of a continuum

Suez is something else it would be fun to fly.

Yes but the '48 would be WW2 style. (would be interesting with both sides flying the same a/c). The 80's would have too many a2a rockets (prefer guns)

the 1967 War would be like WW2 airbattle with jets..........

very few Air-to-Air rockets were used , and then they mostly failed.


another interesting thing would be perhaps the 1965 India-Pakistan conflict:
India:
MiG-21F-13
MiG-21PF
Gnat
Hunter F.56
Mystere IVA
Vampire FB.52
Ouragon/Toofani
Canberra B.(I) 58
SeaHawk

Hunter T.66
Vampire T.55
Canberra T.4


Pakistan
F-104A
F-104B
F-86F-40
B-57

T-33


also, an airwar mostly fought with guns and dumb bombs and no high capable air radars

but well, let us actually first have the SoW:BoB thing in our hands and the, on the former based, Korean game

I wonder what versions of the MiG and Sabre will be represented in the Korean air war sim?

thanks Al,
ahh, the 86a, no flying tail, but with leading edge movable slats. Think the moving slats will be modelled?
