It seems logical.

- it can only succeed in the west if it is available as an iphone app.

- any theater involving the US will invoke fear of NG style litigation issues.

- in western markets there is a hard core of ex-gamers who have retired from work in order to spend their entire time criticising CoD and actively trying to prevent people from buying it.

- there is a risk the franchise may be bought out by Disney if they remain in western markets

A mix of Fw190A-2s and A-3s in I./JG51

Same as I/JG51 but II./JG51 got some Bf109Gs in Dec '42.

III./JG51 had a mix of Bf109 F-2, -4s & G-2s, and Fw190A-2s & 3s.

IV.JG51 had the odd Fw190 but mostly Bf109Fs.

AFAIK I/JG 51 was the first unit to operate the 190 on the Eastern Front in September 1942, first on the Leningrad Front, then on the Central Sector. Rest of JG 51 and JG 54 followed, but all oprated in the Northern/Central Sector, so there were no 190s on the Stalingrad front...
