Western Front for me. Big raids, P51, P47, Typhoon/Tempest, Mosquito, Spit IX, Fw190, 109G/K, 210, 262...list is long. More sexy.
Russian planes is the Babushkas from Eurovision, Western theatre planes is hot like Nicky Minaj.

I could post an equally sarcastic reply but I'll play nice for now.
I very much prefer the Eastern Front for its constantly fluid and varied situations over the "same procedure as every year" kind of straightjacket that is the air war in the West. Pony, Spit, P-38, Jug, big bomber fleets at 8000 meters ... they give me nothing ... *yaaaaaawn*
Eastern Front means something of everything ... busting artillery positions, tanks and trenches, supply interdiction over the supply roads, bomber attacks on supply hubs, HQs, repair shops and a large quantity of unpredictability and surprise. Not to mention many interesting aircraft.
Now, North Africa ... that would have been interesting, too.
