Just that the MMORPG is rarely as detailed as a flightsim.

Either you have a MMORPG that is focused on multiplayer experience like WOW, which looks pretty ugly or you have a limited scale like Warhammer or you have great graphics like Age of Conan but crappy gameplay and critical FPS drops with more players interacting.

Besides that, I'd like to mention that the 700 aircraft mentioned were not engaged in one single dogfight, but in raiding dozens of targets along all southern England. So it's not necessary to plot 700 aircraft + 700 interceptors in real time.

Generally true, but concentrations of several hundreds of German planes on the same target are an historical fact. One for all, in the famous raid on London of Sep 7th, 348 Heinkels, Dorniers and Junkers and 617 German fighters came over London, starting in the afternoon. If I remember correctly Brian Kingcome's words, the German planes "stretched across the sky for one hundred miles". In reality the attack wave was 20 miles wide and 40 miles long, covering 800 sq. miles of sky...
So, if you want to recreate that very day, you have indeed to plot 950+ Geman planes flowing from 5 pm to 4 am, plus some Hurricane and Spitfire squadrons of course.

Another example, sadly famous, was the night of 14-15 september, when some 500 bombers bombed Coventry.

More in general, waves of some hundreds of bombers an fighters on the same target were quite frequent during the Battle of Britain. That's the reason of my question, because I see coming a "mini-BoB" with 20 or 30 planes for each side, either due to H/W limitations or for game engine ones.

Regards,
Insuber
