What's wrong with that? IL2 is a great "sandbox sim" which you can enjoy in many different ways.

Given the popularity of arcade games like World of Planes, there's certainly a fan base for dogfights.

And, even if you're a hard core rivet-counting historical campaigner, there are still times when you want to fly the best plane in the sky.

But, like you said, being able to simulate any sort of historical mission allows us to appreciate the difficulties and heroism of combat pilots who flew the less glamorous missions.

Personally, I'd love to see a flyable Ju-52, Fw-189, or Fi-156, and would happily fly campaigns based around those planes. In some cases, the ability to deliver supplies or paratroopers, or to bring back information, was as important as delivering bombs and just as harrowing.
