Maps have always been used in a non historical manner to suit the needs of the mission builder and thier imagination.
Regardless of the aircraft types and time lines, some of the best missions I have created have been with historically mismatched aircraft.
Personally i was hoping for larger theatre maps for CooP missions but the current state of the CooP gui puts a grinding halt on my CloD mission building.
The limited theatre aircraft plane sets and maps don't spark the imagination much especially when you drop on top all the bomber bugs and other problems related to creating a believable environment.
I have made missions in FSX believe me its not funny.
As for RoF I had so many graphics glitches and FMB problems I left it alone after 3 weeks trying.
IL2 1946 had the quintessential CooP mode and GUI accompanied by a varied theatre of ops with released plane sets (
Luthiers Pacific Fighters not included) IMHO, I voted for the Med along with Oleg
If the new series follows the doctrine the old series did it will naturally build into another behemoth of WW2 theatres and equipment as is IL2 1946.
Lets hope eh
