I'm personally not at all against it one bit. I'd love to launch off a carrier, have the backdrop of atoll's whilst dogfighting, attack beachheads whilst supporting troops, fly- corsairs, 25's, 29's, zeros, bettys you name it I'd take it. But fantasy and reality are sadly are two different things. The point I guess is more when I say 'you name it I'd take it', I wish just for a sequel and I don't really care as to what theatre it is. The harsh facts are though is that IL2 is; a niche market; it's Russian developed so it's always going to have a European/ Russian bias(look at GT5, how many Japanese cars...40 mx'5's!); the maps produced already aren't pretty good so why not use them and expand say the aircraft available (hence why I think the pacific would therefore be additional to this). And lastly I'm English so I'm always going to lean this way as it's what I know and I'll always stand firm on that, but also with tongue firmly in cheek. By the same token I'd respect that the same is true for most of my mates on the other side of the pond who think just as you do. I don't think there's any hatred whatsoever here for it, my previous post above is more about 'trolls' than anything and is replying in exactly the same way as was posted by said troll. 'my war was better than your war' type posts are always going get anyone with half a brains back up. As you know yourself war isn't nice full stop. Think in 70 years time people playing an Iraq war aim wanting an afganistan war sequel because 'it was a better war'. Anyway, spleen venting over and I graciously bow out of this thread.
