I actually have a Korean war sim (Strike Fighters). It's fine an all but I'm still making Korean planes and maps for Il-2. Why? Because Il-2 is the best flight-sim out there. The feel of flying in Il-2 is so immersive and...real. Strike Fighters is great and all, but when I fly it I just feel like I'm playing a game. For all its' faults, Il-2 is as close to the real thing as I've ever felt, and I think it's not unreasonable to want to fly the planes I want to play, or re-enact the history I want to enact.
There are plenty of WW2 fighters I'd like to see as well, like the devastator, swordfish, Ju-88 variants, B-26, a whole slew of them. It's criminal some of the planes that were left out of this sim, and telling that no matter how many other games I try (CFS2, Strike-Fighter, Lock-on, Dawn of Aces, Battle of Britain) I still come back to this one.
Now that we have this wonderful world of mods, we can finally make this sim ours, which has been the missing piece all along - community empowerment. Everyone is going to get what they want, sooner or later, and this will be Il-2's true time to shine.
i agree with your point
