Yes, we don't. Navs, approach charts and other highly structured procedures because they were pretty well non-existent during the time frame of COD or IL2. There were some simple navs and waypoint plotting with instruments, but nothing like modern navigation. When I say modern... I'm talking about the mid 50's up to now.

That's what I like about WW2 air combat. A lot of action without alot of complicated navigating and procedures.

There are some of the primitive nav tools in the Daidalos Team IL2 modifications.

There are some in CoD as well if you use the map!?

actually navigation was well advanced in the 40s, and a navigator of those years was way more prepared and competent of the modern ones.. astronavigation, dead reckoning, flight computers were all used normally, and radio beacons became very popular too.
It's something that's always been missing in IL-2, but as someone else said, Daidalos is starting to implement this stuff now
