Generally speaking, when importing for a season where players missed time because they went off to war, players will import as free agents rather than on the teams they would have been on otherwise if you do not check "players miss time according to history". For example, if you start a league in 1953, Willie Mays imports as a free agent, rather than as a member of the Giants. While I'd love to snap up Mays, it seems like guys who miss seasons according to history should be imported as though they were on the team they were on previously, with whatever ratings they would have had if they had been imported as of their last completed season. That probably isn't practical to code, though.
