Rating:  - IL-2 Holds its Own to Current Games
IL-2 is by far the best flight simulator ever created. The graphics in it are very competitive with current games(eight years later). This WWII simulator offers missions with every country involved in the war. The graphics on the planes and artillery is very realistic. The cockpits are the closest you can get to being in a real plane. However, compared to other simulators it seems very hard. This is because it is so realistic. IL-2 1946 Sturmovik is by far the best combat simulator ever produced ... Read More
Rating: - WWII Flying Experience
This first person cockpit game is very indepth. I have had several other flying games that only touched the surface of the flying experience but this one really delved into the total flying chalenge. You can either fly a real wartime mission that has every true detail of a historic attack or call up a quick mission [my personal favorite] that you can choose to fly any of the Russian or German aircraft that were in commision at the time of the war against any of the opposing sides armor including ...

Rating:  - Poor flight model
I've logged over 70 hours on MS Flight Simulator X (including beating the course record on the challenging Red Bull time coure), so that is my standard for flight model realism. By that standard, IL-2 is garbage. If planes actually flew that poorly in WW II, half of the pilots would have crashed within minutes of take off because they couldn't get the aircraft to generate enough lift or speed. Unless I trick the P-39 sim model by doing stupid little 20 foot drives to build up speed, it flies flat ... Read More
Rating: - Why did I wait?
I have seen this game out for awhile now. I really dont know why I waited. Well I bought the CH Fighter stick, and USB Throttle controller. This game runs great with them. The graphics in this game kick on anything I have. It runs great too. I also got the Forgotten Battles and Ace expansion pack. I total enjoy playing this game. Very realistic, and sounds great. It now my favorite flight sims, next to Microsoft 2004. Combat or noncombat I am flying. My only regret is why did I wait. UBI Soft did it ... Read More
Rating: - Awesome Game
Damn, this game is incredible. Even if you rev your engine, the plane will rotate a bit from the torque. Try to learn how to recover from stalls on all the different models, then learn to recover the ME-109. It ain't easy but once you recognize how your plane of choice acts when it's about to stall, you can pull aerial maneuvers that really ride the edge of the aircraft's ability. I guess that's where 'flying by the seat of your pants' comes from. This game is just overall unbelievable. It's hard ... Read More
