TBF Avenger and other planes

Some time ago I made a fantasy alternative history DF mission along some of the lines you gents are talking about.

Here is the description I did for it...

Za Tzarista!
It is now early 1947. Imperial Japan has been knocked out of the war and is in shambles. But the real shocker took place after the new Kaiser took over from the National Socialists in Germany, and the tragic accident at Alamagordo New Mexico, which effectively wiped out the US ability to manufacture atomic weapons after the initial bombing of Hiroshima. Germany was able to manufacture one "heavy water" bomb and succeeded in obliterating the Soviet capital of Moscow. With Stalin dead, central contol of the CCCP crumbled in days. During the chaos, German and Austro-Hungarian troops raced across Russia and now stand at the gates of Vladivostok. A heretofore unknown group of Russian Imperialists and Cossacks, secretly supported by the Kaiser, has consolidated power and re-established the Monarchy under Tzarista Anastasia Romanov. But in yet another bizzare turn of events, the Tzarista promptly declared war on the Kaiser in revenge for Germany's support of the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution. She, and the remnants of the Russian Army are holding out in the temporary capital of Vladivostok. President Truman, seeing a chance to totally wipe out Communism, diverted all troops currently in the Pacific into China and ended the Maoist Insurgency there. Now The US and Great Britain have recognized the new Russian government and are openly supporting it. It seems that World War One will now finally be fought to the end...

It's on the Manchuria map and has all the late war and paper napkin "wonder planes" and several mod additions from HSFX.

Technical questions apart, it’s undeniable that Il2 has a strong potential for what if and alternate history scenarios, and it’s easy to understand why. The game has an unequalled plane set, a rich ground and surface objects inventory, and a varied choice of maps. Yes, it would require tweaking in campaigns, but not much more. Perhaps some new skins and, if required, new national markings.

With a little ingenuity, minor or experimental types could be put to good use. Then, it would be just a matter of creativity, and El’s example, some posts above, shows well what can be achieved. Surely it could be a lot of fun and, perhaps, perhaps, it could have some commercial value.
