If the modders diversify into other genres it will take forever to see improvements to existing aircraft or even introduce new much needed WWII critical planes..
That said, they are the modders and they will follow their own fancies, which is only correct of course.. but I wince everytime I see threads for Korea, or marginal aircraft that never got off the drawing board, or test/prototype aircraft........
Then I realise we will never get all those second world war beauties.. and despair kicks in.

I agree with only one and a half points with this post trooper.

they are the modders and they will follow their own fancies, which is only correct of course

CY6 originally started his Korea map, for Korean war scenarios. He then started making Korean war aircraft. He has also done WWII aircraft. Personally I am very greatful for these. I wouldnt get too impatient regarding getting all the much needed WWII types, I have faith that we will acquire these, at an increasingly rapid pace.

I am all for the development of pre, and post, WWII aircraft, upto and no further than the Korean Conflict - which incidently, used a lot of WWII aircraft, such as much needed late war American aircraft. Ie, P-51-D-25 (ie, the rocket carrying Mustang), B-26, etc etc. Not to mention the early jets.

Now I understand your taste doesnt run there, but they are a very important part of aviation history, and there is an increasing fan base for the usage in the game. I myself lay claim to being part of that fanbase. Yet I agree withnot doing the drawing board jobbies that never saw the light of day. BUT if the modders want to do them, then by all means.

As I said above, I wouldnt want to see development past Korea. We could do with a Meteor, as we could a vampire. The Sabre and Mig-15, and the F-80-C thats being done, and possibly a Panther - for these scenarios; which are just as interesting and deserve as much focus as any other conflict.

Yes IL2 is a WWII sim, but she has a fantastic physics and flight model, and an ever increasing, talented fanbase.

So, why not delve into Korea, and earlier? I reckon it would be bloody nice to have choices from a Albatross DIII to a North American F-86 Sabre.

Development, is the name of the game here.
