Now that's why I'd really like a Battle of France scenario.

What a finale!

You do know that with that kind of argumentation you can scratch most WWII aircraft? So you feel WWII flight sims should be reduced to 109s and Spits, He 111s and Ju 88s as not much more was used from the beginning to the end of the war?

The point is the use/affort curve.
Those old planes got used just a few months,not mentioning the production counts.
I repeat myself...have u ever created an own 3d model and implemented into a game engine?
The models of CoD are more than detailed within.

I am by far not interested in flying Spit vs Bf109, but the planes should be in relation to their playground and so to their afford in the whole game.

I am not sure about the upcoming politics Maddox planed, but a paying DLC content like used by 777(?) - Rise of flight is imho not a bad solution.
In that frame old planes could be implemented properly.

Neverthless the dices already fell for another DLC.
"Moscow 1941" which covers a bunch of different popular planes and a big terrain.
"Mediterran Theater" ws mentioned several times, covers also a bunch of different popular planes and a huge terrain.

But well dreams and suggestions are always desireable i guess.

I have to agree, I really want to fly the battle.

I always thought it looked like a streched hurricane

Battle looks like a prototype IL2, great target for German fighters & AA.

I'd prefer a Hampden, the bomber designed to maneuver like a fighter once it's bomber load was released.

Id love both!

[flyingblind]

Maybe we could have the best of both worlds. Couldn't the developers stick to the original plot and produce and sell additional theaters with decent plane sets as per original IL2 series but also produce or allow 3rd parties to produce the more peripheral aircraft which could be bought by those that want them as per RoF?

[1PL_Lucas]

I hope that the 3rd party will be allowed to create additional content, like huge maps or even the planes. This would allow to create less "popular" operation theatres, just like the mentioned September Campaign 1939. I'd love to create such content in the future, as me and my teammates did for the targetware engine couple of years ago.
Anyways, the more theatres, the better for the simmers. Playing the scenarios can teach more about dedicated conflict or the aircrafts and the units which were used. So, +1.

*AHEM, Curtiss fanboy hat on.*

The Curtiss Hawk 75 (P-36 for USAAC) did more than fight for three weeks in France. It was used by more airforces than any aircraft I can think of, on both sides of the conflict.

From France to Finland, to North Africa, to America's first air battle of the war on Dec. 7th, to China and South East Asia, to air forces in South America, the Hawk 75 was there. Sometimes successful, sometimes not, but it was a ubiquitous type and deserves a proper place in any WW2 flight sim.



And besides, it just looks so good.

There is an SDK somewhere down the path so you masochists can do you own Battle

[Tavingon]

Im just looking forward to flying her





Imagine how cramped the navigator was!
