I think that is why they are going to do a three game Pacific series after BoS/BoM/BoKuban - announced was Battle of Midway and Battle of Okinawa plus unknow third scenario. And I think the target audience besides us is sim gamers in the Western, especially US market. And it is clear to me that if they do not totally botch it up, it will be far superior in carrier battles than IL2 ever has been. And while there is not much work for cities on Midway/Okinawa, ships will require some work, and I hope we don't get a generic Japanese and a generic Allied carrier, but real ones, and some different CA/CL/DD/DE, along with a few supply and cargo vessels, and and and....
