Favourite theatre of WW2 (with emphasis on aerial combat)

[mondo]

CFS2 and the Pacific fighters addon to IL2 added Pearl Harbour. I don't have a favorite theatre, they all provide unique matchups and scenario's. North Africa and the Med is probably most interesting to me due to variety of aircraft and missions they went on, including carrier ops.

Why not add the option for far east/SEAC and China? SEAC was extensive long range ground attack and RAF/RAAF vs IJA and China you get the flying Tigers in early P40B's vs Ki27's etc. Another interesting location was Finland vs USSR.

ironic that ,so far, least interest has been expressed in the theatre that games namesake fought in...

It has to be the early war period up to and including the battle of britain for me. I mean, the BoB was one of the main turning points in the war-and the scale of the battle was intense. With the BoF you have a pretty intense conflict, fighting as the RAF going from one airfield to another would be great; so I'm all for having the early war period modelled further in game.

If its going to be anything like the original the sim mode is awesome and can be tough to fly if you've never played it before.
