It would be interesting to see where most of their sales occur. Russia/Eastern Europe compared to Western Europe/North America.

Should it be that Eastern Europe have the largest edge here, it would seem that they are targeting that market with the next release for the best financial return.

I seriously doubt they have the resources to build extra aircraft, especially at this critical time. I don't think they would even want to, as it could jeopardies sales of theaters that they will be building later. I could see them selling highly complex, and costly to build aircraft like four engine bombers, that were used in the theaters they have released. Like Feathered said, I don't think we will see a Western Front long range bombing campaign for years, until the game engine is improved, a huge map built, and new computers that could run it. I'd sure like to see it, but wonder how many in an already small genre would be willing to fly those very long mostly boring flights. I suppose some good fast forward to the action. ,

Is there a list of planes that BoM is supposed to include? Just checked from Wiki that first Fw-190 models were taken to service during 1941, but were used in west. Any chance some early Fw-190 could be included in BoM?

I believe BlackSix said the Fw-190 weren't used in the early campaigns they are currently building for the iniitial release of the Russain Front Sequel, presumed to be in the Moscow and/or Stalingrad area.

Wiki says "The Fw 190 made its air combat debut on the Eastern Front in November/December 1942".
So Fw-190 would be a valid choice if BoM also includes battles in Stalingrad.

We don't know for sure which areas of the Russian front were mapped, but again BlackSix said the FW190 wasn't used in the early campaigns they are currently modelling for the Sequel.

Too bad. Because IMO Fw-190s, like P-51 models later, are those important planes that may get people to buy a sequel.

I'm not interested in beat-all-aircraft, i want historical scenarios and all the weird n wacky aircraft that actually took part.

anyway the IL2 will have flight characteristics of a 190 while the 190 will fly like a Bristol Bombay, so we're part way there! LOL! joking ..
