combat aviation 2021: Show Me The Bogeys

so as expected, having looked into DCS, it’s very slim pickings for those of us that do not want to re-enact bombing brown people. There’s speculation that the Russian government prevents the devs from recreating any relatively recent Soviet/Russian aircraft, which means the vast majority of what’s out there is NATO modules, and the accompanying maps and campaigns are equally regressive. just surveying the campaign descriptions is bleak. (Syria map! Persian Gulf map! 80 variations of “re-enact the Korean War / Gulf War / Afghanistan / Iraq / Somalia / Abkhazia / Iran / etc”!). even when you go to the warbirds, all you have is Luftwaffe campaigns.

I don’t know what I expected! as @digs stated to me “you looked into the Fascism box and found fascists.” why do people buy this game?
guess i’ll be sticking to the Great Patriotic War for the foreseeable future.

i should note that some of the Ka-50 missions sound cool, and this is maybe the most interesting of the bunch:
