Why the need for German planes?

[Lightsped]

I am not really interested in the good and the bad things that various countries have done in the past. Save that for the history books.....

I am interested in having a fun flying game with more replayablity and options. This idea is not something new as many game publishers/developers have produced high selling games featuring Allies and the Axis powers of WW2....

Anyone here ever heard of LucasArts "Their Finest Hour" or "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe"??? Both of these WW2 flying games were made in the 1990s, and were very successful.... How about Call of Duty? Are those who play as the Germans or Japananese committing unethical acts??

I really appreciate to read Anton's point of view concerning the german's campaign. I have read the full previous thread concerning the same issue and would like to thank him for taking the time to reply to us.

Anton, I assume that people are mainly refering to the starvation in Ukrain when talking of a 20 million death toll for USSR...

Anyway, I respect the devs' decision concerning the german campaign. But, still, I would welcome more german or japanese sp missions.

Concluding from Anton's reply in this thread I guess there could be an Axis campaign in BoP II or eventually as DLC...

Loved SWOTL it is the game I have spent most hours on and it is one of very rare games one could fight as the axis and "win" in campaign mode. To this date I have not found a flight game with a more fun career mode.

SWOTL was such a great game! Logged many hours of flying time on that game. Being able to choose between flying for the Axis or Allies was fun. And it wasn't very difficult to actually fly the planes. It wasn't a hardcore SIM that you have to take hours just to learn to keep the plane in the air, which was nice. You could jump right in and start flying...
