And that big revolver (Webley?) for Brit pilots? What sidearms for other nationalities?
Mmmmm, remember the original premise (except in Combat Theater) ... we're all pilots from wherever just flying and driving WWII combat machinery, so grabbin' the same .45 isn't too inconceivable.
Then again, maybe this presages Tour of Duty? So the firepower refinements can continue into pistols, grenades, maybe even bayonets. Authenticity uber alles.
