Hmmm! That would tie in with the operational testing of the LA-5 in September 42'. I could live with that!

Yup. Imagine a 'combined ops' sim at this location!

Of course, there may be multiple maps in the sequel, maybe Leningrad, Stalingrad and Moscow........

Beginning to warm to this idea.

Battle of Kursk ?

there is no indication from 1c that any ground vehicles will be realistic enough to create a worth while tank sim anytime soon

nice idea for about 5 yrs down the road maybe

Their goal may not be a tank sim, but something like DCS Combined Arms where vehicles arent hardcore simmed but are controllable enough to have a more dynamic battlefield. The focus of any IL2 should be the quality of the aircraft and their FM, the addition of vehicles while cool, should only be as added value to the aircraft and battlefield...

Of course this is only guessing...
