Battle of Malta or Mediterranean - why not?

[Ploughman]

Atoros, this isn't a flight sim, it's a flight combat sim. As such the behaviour of targets is or interest. Targets can be defined as every enemy object in the sim. Now, imagine. Operation Pedestal. For an Axis flier it's a dream. Carriers, cruisers, destroyers, fast merchantmen, oh my. Now, when you bend your Stuka over the OHIO don't you want it to go up as convincingly as a the Wellingtons and Blenheims do already in game? You nail that ship, Malta's last hope, and it goes without a bang but a whimper? I think not, you want to be able to see its fires burning from Sicily.

A Map of Balkans would offer another such mini-front/campaign.

Neither would require any acft beyond what is available in COD...and the early Malta/Balkans air war did not involve any major anti-naval activities.

Of course, as has been noted, creating the RN Navy ships would be a major task for later Med Front, Crete and subsequently.
