I guess its a " to each his own " thing

i totally agree and respect that...thats why i hope with some of my posts regarding 'keeping this a ww2 sim' (usually very sarcastically) im not irritating the fine talented modders that are working on such things. (dangit...i just want a do17 and a lancaster and ill be happy!)

but...things like alternate history i enjoy...always been an interest of mine apart from actual history. so going with this thread, yes, i think itd be enjoyable to have some NW USA, SW USA (LA and SanFran were heavily involved), or even eastern seaboard maps...because as history does tell...the war did come there in one way or the other, even if it didnt exactly involve an air battle. its a matter of making it more interesting as an alternate history which is very possible with IL2.

for instance, my other favorite sim is SH3. historically, you get to go within miles of the US in the Caribbean. did it really happen? YES. were any airplanes involved? NO. but why not? what little thing could have tipped it all off for there to have been? thats what i wanna know!
