I think my favorite would be North Afrika, then Med. But I'm fine with Russia as well as long as it means this sim does well and we can get more add ons.

Still though, for the ships and subs needed, some of these could even be taken from the original IL-2, re-worked 3d wise and then outfitted for those certain theatres. Because some of the modellers do pretty good jobs and their mods look great, so if it could be re-worked by proffesionals, even better.
And Oleg did say he preffered the Med theatre next but I guess they need the cash and with most of Moscow happy to fly in Moscow, well it answers itself.

indeed, its a pitty that the marvelous shipdamage model is left out in the BoM.
i would have also prefered some NorthAfrica scenario.

Malta alone, im not very interested in actually, its "the same" as the BoB - and axis bombing campaign with allied defenders........

MTO is nevertheless interesting:
Ship attacks
possible carrier operations by the RN
ground suporrt.


But yes, i also belive they choose a easternfront scenario so fast again because of their homemarket. And perhaps 1C have better sources about soviet aircraft and stuff than about western allied one?!
i was just surprised that they choose such an early one, as at least the soviet fighters had not an easy standing against the Luftwaffe 109Fs. I would have expected something about Kursk 1943. But a lot of BoB Luftwaffe aircraft (with more or less modifications) can be used in a Moskau 1941/42 scenario -at least less work for the 3D developers
