But hasn't that "theory" and it's implementation hurt us over the years?

It's assumed that the US market wouldn't want an Eastern Front flight sim- that was wrong

It's assumed that the Western market wouldn't car for Sturmoviks over Manchuria or 1946- that was wrong

It's assumed the "German community" says the VVS planes are too good

It's assumed the "Russian community" says that Oleg screwed the VVS planes

What needs to happen, and not just at Maddox games, is that the people who make combat flight sims must realize that their player base is not made up of rabid ultra-nationals who fit some boardroom's neat little graphs based on where the borders of countries lie, and wake up to the fact that we are enthusiasts who are interested in ALL aspects of combat flight simulation overall and specific aspects in particular.

And in our own flight sim community, we also must abandon these silly assumptions like "US players don't care about the Battle of Britain". It's a dismissive and wholly incorrect attitude we must get away from. We as players are not our country's stereotypes

We are flight sim and history enthusiasts. Don't assume we "don't care for" something. The history of this sim shows that line of reasoning has always been wrong
