I think it would be fun if officially sanctioned missions were held in the late war arena. We could have have a special events map tacked onto but not reachable from the regular map.
More specifically, one thing that I feel the late war map should offer but does't offer are saturation bombing missions @ 30k Atlantic front style or B-29 missions @ 10k pacific front style. Both forces could begin their flights at altitude and we could take the perks off the 29's. We could add wind and napalm and have the targets be big like the strat complexes and run off of a %. If the bombers were allowed to drop bombs from a gunner position, a designated lead could give the drop bombs command, or have the bombers flight paths and bomb drops happen automatically, that way guns can be manned at all times.
Why not hold them in special areas of late war along with the other special events.
