Hah! Really? Tell me why I should think twice before playing ANY game. I've owned Sturmovik since the original Forgotten Battles (2003), and been playing flight sims in one form or another since F/A-18 Interceptor (at least 1988 ). So please tell me why I need to think twice before playing 1942. Will I endanger somebody's life by not knowing the details of every single aircraft off by heart? Do you really take your games so seriously Pershing, that I have offended you with my lack of knowledge and ludicrous suggestion? If so, I really pity you. There's a saying that goes something like, "If you've got nothing worth saying, don't say it". Maybe you should consider that one before posting next time.

@Whacker Thanks for your response. Trouble is, I don't have the patience to study WWII aircraft. And with the choice available now, it really would be a case of studying. My friend has far less patience than I. For example, he would not sit and play a campaign or coop mission, to much straight flying and waiting around for him. We just like to duel and gloat (mostly after a few beers!) -a tradition since we were both teenagers. But I like to at least setup realistic encounters for us both.

To be honest, compared with other features and functions the developers have added, it seems a simple one to me. I appreciate the ambiguity that you mention, but surely you would just go with country of initial origin and purpose originally intended for (not what they were later adapted to do). If it's multi-role, you have a multi-role icon, or list a couple of icons side by side.

PS. I fly DCS: Black Shark 2. It's one aircraft and learning that is plenty for me.
