Already feels like I'm flying Bf-109 Sturmovik.....or IL2 Spitfire.
In the end it's not my call clearly. Who ever makes the models gets to pick what they want to make, case closed. In kind varients do make a lot of sense in that most of the work is there, and what better way for a new model builder to cut their teeth on then an aircraft laid out there before them....
However it is frustrating.....To be sure all we've gained is awesome, yet it is a little disappointing when an aircraft that never fought or flew is built, or where it was a stepping stone varient (just a couple made or a prototype) is done, when we're missing so many other aircraft that were used in great numbers (and if an AF had only 100 aircraft 20 is a big number).
Personally, I don't care about the aircraft that fought in 1 battle then was replaced, or never saw action.....SPeaking as to what I know it's a shame that aircraft that we're in service the entire length of the war or much of it making up the bulk of an air force are not in the sim.....Ki-21-IIb's, Ki-48's, Ki-49's, Ki-51's, and on a varient note the Ki-61-Id of which there were more built and used in combat then any other.....Really the bulk of the Japanese Army Flying Corps, yet everyone want's the Ki-44, or Ki-45....Both well used aircraft in their own right yet no where near like the above. Heck, in actuallity we have only 1/one/uno/eins/2-1/1x1/a single Japanese army bomber and it pretty much was used for transport mainly by 1942, and only 2 Navy bombers the GM4 the oldest, and the same with the D3A1....As a whole host of others simply ignorred (as the AI bombers still don't fly right being the B5N/B6N)........Basically, after Pearl Harbor you're done with Japanese bombing as per the sim.
Ah well.......Yeah sure, we need more Bf-109's.
