If it were possible to have every plane mentioned and requested, even the prototypes, (and some of them are beautiful aircraft) then of course it would be fantastic to have everything.. (I would have thought thats obvious), But we have to be realistic here.. The vast majority of players for IL2 are using it for their love of WWII air combat.. Now we have the tools to realise our dreams (almost), it would be extremely sad for the modders to divert their expertise and talents on aircraft that only saw the light of day to get briefly off the drawing board and fly a few times..
As my list above shows, we have so many mainstay and much used WWII aircraft, from many different campaigns and theatres that may now be within our grasp, I just think it will be futile to divert our limited modding members on other futile things..
If you had the chance for the mod team to give you a Do17, or some Curtiss prototype that never saw action, which one would you choose? of course 99% of you would want the Do17, as it saw action for many years and can be used in many different campaigns.. The other 1% may take the Curtiss for the odd spot of 'air racing', but thats about it..
