Me too! I am currently still at 4.04 merged because the landscape couldn't impress me.
What is flying without a good view?
Superb campaigns like AVG had to be (partly) made on Russian maps because to many important theatres were missing and most maps are just grassy hills with way to many and way to large rivers. Maps like Guadalcanal and Singapore are to poor and inaccurate to convince. It seems they were hastily created.
But then I discovered this site. I made most of the mods working on 4.04 although I miss too many files to make all of them work. I really like the sound mod. That really adds to the atmosphere.
But after seeing shots off the slot I ordered my copy of 1946!
I find the pacific theatre fascinating: brutal battles in a paradise-like environment (at least visually :roll: )
It was also one of the few air battles (at least untill the "Mariana Turkey shoot") where the odds were fairly even. Most historical battles are not nice to simulate because one side is much stronger then the other.
