I remember when IL-2 came out. We who played CFS2 back then hadn't seen anything like it and we made the transition cause it was such a great sim even though it was russian front.
When PF was released with carriers, that made it for the americans.

Unless we see some american planes in an addon (with maybe carriers in the med) then I think the sales in the US will be fair.
I don't know of a lot of a American players who are primarily driven by feelings of nationalism...most "American" flight combat enthusiasts I know of, are driven by a sense of history (for a lack of a better label), and are interested in all the theaters of war. For the most part we are fascinated in the development of air combat technology and how the tactics of air combat have changed over time. Most American enthusiasts I know of are interested in all of the air combat "ACES", regardless of the nationality.

Here in the "States", we have a thing called the "internet"...we also have a thing called "cable television". These newfangled "high tech gizmo's" allow even the most isolated American to be exposed to all the various theaters of combat.

I think that most people here would agree that the modern air combat enthusiast, identifies with the pilots (aces) personal experiences, and are not interested in the politics or national identity of the aces. I think that this would apply to air combat enthusiasts from around the world....regardless of where are computers are plugged in.


P.S. I think that the "ME109 vs. The Spitfire", is as good as anywhere to start the new series....
