You can have plenty of those elswhere.
I also dubt that large audience will enthusiastically fly unknown (and, with one exception, inferior) polish planes from this period.
- Luftwaffel planes o b l i t e r a t i n g everything?
Yeah, this might be enough for those, who like to blitz over the sky in their bf109 untouchable and superior to all. Luftwaffel loving king of the sky wannabes  ...
These battles have no allied aeroplane that became a legend of ww2.
And you need one to sell the sim worldwide.
So why poland/france?
Enlighten me.
Btw I don't want to cause a flame war, just curious |
The commercial value may be the deal breaker, but as another crap-plane lover, a France or Poland campaign would be a dream come true for me.
First, those scenarios have never been done before.
Second, the overall superiority of the Luftwaffe in these campaigns (questionable for the France campaign anyway) does not mean every single engagement was completely one-sided. There were more than a few losses over Poland as well. Especially bomber or Stuka campaigns should be more interesting here than over England. Flying for Poland would certainly be a challenge, but that only makes it more interesting for me. And would anyone say that late-war scenarios shouldn't be done either because of the undisputed allied superiority?
Third, I have no interest in "balance" in the planeset, and while the BoB scenario is reasonably balanced in the fighters area, flying Stukas or Bf-110s over England, especially in somewhat historical roles, isn't any less suicidal than attacking German bombers over Poland.
And finally, similar arguments were brought up before Il2's release about the Eastern front theatre. It turned out to be more than interesting though.
I do hope eventually some 3rd party effort can be made to model those theatres, as I don't see Oleg himself being able to afford it. Sure would be great though...!
