I would really love a single-player game where I can actually fly the iL-2, Ju-87 and He-111, as they're not really worth flying in AH.

I can understand the He-111 part but the IL-2 or Ju-87 not worth it???  :headscratch:

In order to make use of an iL-2 or Ju-87 here, you need fighters to help keep you safe, and from what I've seen the last few times i poked in, teamwork is like a freaking unicorn.

That is why the JU87 was pulled from service very early in BOB.

Why is that exactly?  Because it sounds like you are saying the Germans weren't team players.   :)

When they redo the entire single player mode, yes it's very much worth playing as it will be much more like RoF. I never flew bombers in AH, but I occasionally find myself in one over there because the flight models feel so good.. it makes them very enjoyable to fly. The turbulence/wind system is even better than DCS it seems.

Here's a link to the dev diary about single player:

some DCS servers have it turned on.  Most don't though. DCS just  about to launch Leathernecks Viggen.

Usually only if you take them to the enemy bases. Both IL2 and Ju-87G are very useful in most defensive situations, enemy tanks inbound to your town often operate without any effective air cover preventing their use.
