What seems to be lacking in the objects list is things related to coal powered industry. In WWII coal was still the main source of industrial power but it is poorly represented in IL2.
We could make Boiler houses chimneys and generator houses from existing objects but it is the coal delivery, stockpiling and handling side which is missing. Large industrial scale coal bunkers and stuff like that. Did they have conveyor systems or was it all crane handled? Riverside facilities would have coal delivered by lighter barges from the main docks and would have an off-loading jetty with large grab cranes.
I will see if I can track down some pictures.
