I have to say any sales of this sim are due to the dedication of IL-2 players and flightsim lovers, and are in spite of ubisofts farcical marketing of the game.
My experience was that I went to the local games shop on the weekend following release. I sauntered in expecting to find a display stand full of this shiny new game, I found nothing.
So up to the counter I went
"Can I help you sir" said the assistant, "Yes" I said " have you got the new IL-2 game" I said.
He gave me a blank quizical look
"Its by Ubisoft" I added helpfully, hopeing to jog his memory
"Er I dont think its released yet" he said " I will look in my book. No its not been released and is not even listed in upcoming releases"
I left the shop and came home, then downloaded the game online.
But theres a hole on my shelf, Where the CD case should be.
