Default Expand SH-5 to "Air War over the Atlantic"

Here's my thoughts:

just like folks playing D&D or the 40,000 AD battles, I'd stay away from Cold War only because its all hypothetical.

Here's what I"d want:

An all-encompassing SH-5 would focus on
-Atlantic theater
-command either a U-Boat, an Allied Destroyer or an Allied Aircraft patrol.
or conversely
-create a new sim modelled on IL-2 called "Air War over the Atlantic"
-Think about how much fun it would be:
1) fly a Condor or HE-111 and attack Convoy PQ-17 on the way to murmansk
2) command a Beaufighter or Mosquito and go head to with some of the Ju-188s of KG 40 over Biscay or vice-versa
3) command a Liberator and seek out a Type IX-D with your radar and then drop depth charges amidst a barrage of flak from its 20mms.
or
1) do all the things you could do in DC but do it better.
(DC got almost hardly any play and needs to be relaunched in some form.)

That's my thoughts.
