It'd take a proper community effort to do this. TD is a very small group of volunteers and it'd need more to make Korea work.

We'd need a couple of teams doing maps and map objects and a good number of people working on aircraft. Not impossible, but I think it would take a concerted effort.

There's been a fair bit of mod work for the planes and maps of the KTO. In particular, the MiG-15 and F-86 look quite good, as do the KTO maps, but I don't know if they're actually up to TD standards.

Other planes have been modeled, but they're not as good-looking. IIRC, there's the La-9, La-11, H-16 Sioux/Bell 47, A-26 Invader, F-84 Thunderjet, F4U-4 and F4U-5 Corsair, F8F Bearcat, and F9F Panther/Tiger/Cougar which are pretty good looking except for "franken-cockpits" and the T-6 Texan and P-82 Twin Mustang which are crude "franken-planes."

But there are two huge problems with an IL2-based Korean War add on.

The first problem is that IL2 doesn't support realistic helicopter flight, which cuts out of of the unique features of the Korean War - early helicopter ops.

The second problem is the NG consent decree, which would gut the list of available U.S. naval aircraft. How are you going to have a decent Korean add-on without planes like the F7F Tigercat, F8F Bearcat, F9F Panther/Cougar and the F4U-4/-5 Corsair?

Simply, we can't. Better to forget the whole thing, I fear.:(

There are modded versions of the HRS-3 and Bell 47/H-18 Sioux which look good, and which seem to fly pretty well, but which don't exactly behave like a real helicopter should. That makes them too easy to fly, IMO, but then then I'm ignorant about how real helicopters work.
