Two different wars.

Of the two, the "easier" one to get into the game is the Battle of the Atlantic.

Depth charges as a load-out (actually, just delayed action bombs since IL2 doesn't handle water depth or submarine behavior properly).

One ASW radar for the Liberator. (Perhaps British instruments, guns, radars, etc. for the Liberator VLR variant.)

Big map of the North Atlantic. Steely gray water with a bit of Newfoundland, Iceland, Northern Ireland and/or Norway in the corner(s). Perhaps massively scaled down so that ops that normally took 18 hours to fly could be done in 1-2 hours.

Maybe a Leigh Light.


Bomber Command Night Ops would almost require an entire new sim, since smoke and fire effects would need to be massively reworked, and dozens of new flyable planes and navigation and targeting aids would need be developed, plus new maps to fly over.
