I'm a modern sim enthusisit, but lately am starting to lean toward WWII sims myself.
I think the most appeal is the intrigue for the *type* of conflict that WW2 represents, rather than eqiupment/platforms. Its really the last time in history that all major world powers were fighting simultaneously. Its also the last time that a complete and utter *total war* was fought with no holding back and where losses and equipment cost were secondary. Not only that, but it was fought with remarkable parity. That's a pretty remarkable situation, one that intrigues, and captures imagination, especially since it *really* happened, not just make believe. As such a remarkable time breads more interest IMHO.
