1C wants to make money? Surely the original P-51, B-17 and Fw-190 'financial' sense?

The eastern front is the best place to go from every point of view IMHO.

The devs will get more as it will always sell more in russia.

We need a map that will allow a good rolling online campaign to be created and again the eastern front gives this as well. I know some here couldn't careless about the eastern front but personally I am happy to see Il2 go back to its original roots, I just hope we don't loose the best bits from COD when we do this.

"The only reason it's a critical time is because they obviously need to raise revenue....and wouldn't that happen with 'popular' aircraft and Theatres of war?"

Its a critical time.... because they have every crew member fixing the sim and adding content for the Sequel. They don't have the time or the personnel to start building aircraft for other theaters. Like I said I liked your idea, and expressed the same idea myself awhile ago, but only for very complex aircraft, like Lancasters, or B17's.

The first Fw 190 on the Eastern Front appeared with I./JG 51 at Lyuban in September 1942. Lyuban is, however, on the far side of the Eastern Front when seen from Stalingrad. It's a small town roughly 50km southeast of Leningrad. As such - if the sequel depicts the Battle of Stalingrad - no Fw 190 has a place there because none were present.

The closest (distance-wise) a Fw 190 ever got to Stalingrad was the posting of a Staffel of ground-attack Fw 190 A-5/U3 of Schlachtgeschwader 1 to Anapa on the Taman Peninsula in spring 1943 (long after the 6th Army had surrendered).

Like I wrote earlier, I don't know how 1c decides the contents of their sequels. Is it just time period and whole front or some more limited area? If the whole front, then it would be ok to include fw-190. My info about when fw190 appeared in east was from fw190 wiki-pages.

Some more limited area. We can't make the whole front.

Thanks for the official info Black6! I do understand that making a map covering the whole east front would be too much.

Well, I hope we'll see Fw-190 rather sooner than later. It was used in so many places that it could be used in many kind of missions in the game: east, west, med. More planes of any kind is what this sim needs now that the biggest engine bugs have been fixed.

+1 I have cash now for a "FW190" and no interest in any crap planes!

We're not planning Western front or Mediterranean in the near future. We make Eastern front now only.
