IL2 BoB (Battle of Britain) is the russian version of the IL2 CoD (Cliffs of Dover).
Here are the settings which made the game playable on my crappy London laptop (my monster rig is at home, in Bucharest): ASUS Aspire 5740G (Intel Core 2 i3 330M 2.13 GHz, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 with 500 MB VRAM, 4 GB DDR3, 5400 rotations HDD) with an Windows 7 64 bits Home edition.
In order to use them, you need to:
- buy the IL2 BoB (

With all of these, I can around 15 FPS inside cockpit/30 FPS 3rd view over the channel, in a mission with 10 aircrafts, no stuttters.
