WW2 in wargame

[GodofHellfire]

Instead of writing a wall of text which im too lazy to do, i just want general opinions likes or concerns.
Personally, i would find dogfighting with mainly guns, the (probably) more realistic range implementation and how towed at guns would be handled (if at all) the more intereting points

Often discussed and pretty polarizing.

Fact is:
A WWII setting offers a lot of advantages, especially from a balance standpoint and from a standpoint of uniqueness of the Nations (not to mention that every nation could be relatively easy a major one, as long as things as B17&Co are not included)

Fact is also:
50% of the people think: "Ohh, please not another WWII game". Which is quite understandable.

And here ends the discussion usually

/thread.

I am actually fine with it
While WW2 might be over played

a wargame on it will be great

I don't feel like Iriszoom (That's the engine name right?) would work too well in a WW2 setting.

Eugen would have to ditch a ridiculous number of models they've made, so I don't see it happening.

[TheGreenSpeed]

In regards to dogfights with guns, there may be some interesting (although headache-inducing) micro involved.
It'd definitely improve plane micro skills!

Articulation would kill a WW2 game, wont happen.

Most of which are just re-skins or different variations of each other.

At this point, it's only a hypothetical discussion, no need to refrainyour ideas based on what Eugen would/wouldn't do.



WW2 may be over used, but I think the last large scale RTS with on that period was a mod for SupCom ; so it's not really a problem in my opinion.
However, I think a game set in the '50s would allow to explore other conflicts, while keeping most WW2 units and the general "feel" (only a handful of AA/AT missiles, and very innacurate to boot).

I don't feel like Iriszoom (That's the engine name right?) would work too well in a WW2 setting.

Why is it so ?
Ruse used Iriszoom, and it managed WW2 quite correctly.

Really not interested in a WW2 game, unless it's the Pacific/china/burma
