And do not forget the total lack of ground war in BoB. Perfect excuse to focus on the airborne side of things (seems to be hard enough) and not yet have a detailed dynamic campaign, elaborate ground AI and so on in the initial release.

That being said, the ironic side of me would not be fully surprised if finished, perfect ground war code for IL2-style close support missions would be sleeping inside CoD, just the kind of prioritisation mistake that would be totally 1C/MG-style ;-)

Hate BOB. Hate machinguns. Want planes with BIG CANNONS, like Ki-84 from Pacific war or BF-109G(K) or La-5(7) from East front.

Personally I'm up for it all.
North Africa for me is number one, but I'd be more than happy with whatever theatre is next.*
In the original Il-2, I loved Pacific Fighters, I loved the eastern front. I loved all of it, really.
Bring it on...

*With the possible exception of Korea. Not that I don't want to play Korea or fight in the Mig 15 or F-86, but it would seem strange going from BoB to many years forward and a totally different environment with totally different aircraft, and then later on back to WW2 for a stint in the Pacific or Russia.
In my opinion, it would totally break the 'flow' of the series.

Hmmm something to compensate or just lousy aiming skills? :grin:

+1 nice one Otto! :mrgreen:
I also agree with JG53Frankyboy, all the way for the early scenarios, lots of bombers and no über planes. As to the Korean stuff I wouldn´t spend a cent on that, not the least bit interested.

Even when CoD wouldn't have the BoB scenario and would have been started with a MTO Scenario, there would be the same whining, no P-51, no P-47, why no ME-262, no cannons, no BIG Guns, just P-40 and P-38....sometimes i think that some people didn't even know that there was a war before Dec 7th 1941.
