Questions that to understand what is important for you:

1. Stylish colors in game with overbumped textures
2. Unprecise models and cockpits (most part of which are direct port from old Il-2)
3. Simplified comparing to original Il-2 FM, DM, AI
4. Non historical use of aircraft
5. Absence of realistic weapon
6. non interesting online.

or

1. Correct pallete and more close to real things colors at different time of the day and canges with alitude with modeling of physics for these processes
2. Precise models and completely new precise cockpits that will set new standards in industry of military fligth sims how it was done by original Il-2 in 2001 for a years ahead
3. More complex in calculations comparing to original Il-2 FM, DM (as well as its visuals), AI (that will do many things that were historical)
4. Historical use of aircraft and its loading (and its modeling in principle)
5. Realistic physics of weapons
6. interesting online


My opinion:

You try to name the best the game that has other target auditory... Say from 12 to 16, that is of course great part of players. Yes, it is very good game based on ortiginal Il-2 with better or say better some modern graphics features (mostly effects) than the original Il-2... But simplified in general in many ways.

In the oher hand we are doing for the 12 to 100 age... that I'm in hope will be again the reference for comparison like it was Il-2 for its time. But 100% sure at least with some of the most important for the combat fligth sim features it will be really reference for comparison for a long time.

Still even Il-2 series is a reference for many things. There is a lot of things that was present for the first time in the world and on the sim market. Still many things that makes this sim playable by many even no after so many years.

Lets will return back to this speech after a year of BoB on the market.
