There are tons of aircraft I've never seen in a good combat flight sim that could be made available with this approach. Lots of Polish, French, Czech, Romanian aircraft. One of the things that has always interested me about WW II aviation is the fact that most of the countries basically started the war with little more than WW I tech and by the end of the war aircraft were nearing Mach 1.

I am definitely one of those who would love to have pretty much all of those types present in a sim. That said... how interesting would the Battle of Poland be? A several day scenario where Poland is soundly defeated militarily and scrambles to get it's troops out of the country so they can reform elsewhere. The air battles, although intriguing would be desperate and ultimately I'm not sure how interesting that would be to play even if it is historically.

I like the approach they are taking and glad to get on to some very interesting areas of the war.

I'm not a fan of the chronological approach myself. I accept that there is a wealth of neglected aircraft and conflicts that could be covered, but that they haven't been done up to now says a lot - it means they probably wouldn't be that popular beyond a small bunch of enthusiasts - and that means they wouldn't sell as well.

I think the official releases should aim to cover as many of the big theatres of action (Eastern Front, West 42-45, N. Africa, Pacific) as quickly as possible. The minor aircraft and theatres could then be filled in by some third party paid add-ons similar to those for MS Flightsim. If the SOW series takes off as I expect, other companies will start producing one-off extra aircraft and maps - I think we'll soon be awash in more aircraft than we know what to do with!
