True enough.

Unless Oleg has decided to do WW1, with proper DMs and real ground objects and a world that feels alive.

With the current level of fidelity? It would just be boredom (or boredom with belief).

The landscape details and flight modeling should add a lot to civilian flight (and if Oleg incorporates cargo loading and unloading animations and a navigator who actually says things...)

I have to admit I am very curious about the Sukhoi 26 that will be in the game. (I hope it still is).

It will be interesting on several levels. One, as proof of the game engine and FM/physics modeling, as the SU 26 is probably one of the most understood aircraft around, and, it will be a hoot to take the 26 against folks in armed aircraft and see if they can lay a glove on it.

Yes, that one aircraft and the hordes of MS fans out there. Causes me to think civilian is a strong possibility direction for the engine...early add on that is

I wonder if Oleg gave the Su-26 a damage model?

We know Luthier is developing IL-2 Korea and another third party developing IL-2 Battle for Moscow. It was strongly rumored that Oleg was going to do the Med, but I'm not so sure now. Its all good and let the speculation begin.

Maby Battle of France, pre. BoB?

Would be great, but would require modeling a large number of never done French aircraft, that could be quite time consuming.

On the upside we would have a high fidelity Curtiss Hawk 75, and that is a good thing.

i don't think so, not enough interest from a monetary standpoint. They will leave the small theaters to third parties and concentrate on the larger theaters. I know BOB wasn't a large theater but they had a game engine to build as well as the theater, so BOB was a perfect, recognizable, small early war theater to start off at.

I used to think there was an 80% chance it would be the Med, but I have no clue now. Unless they decide to work with the third party doing IL-2 Battle for Moscow and expand it into a more complete Russian theater.
