Please could this post not be removed, as I feel it is useful for anyone who has never played BoB2. In terms of gameplay, it's the best Battle of Britain game on the market at the moment.

For me it's the feel of flight that draws -and has always drawn- me to the il-2 series. After I played the very first IL-2 demo, European Air War and Jane's WWII Fighters became instantly obsolete. I couldn't go back to them even though I loved EAW's campaigns and enjoyed the FMB of WWII Fighters very much. I now face the same "problem" with IL-2 CloD, the immersion of flying over the channel on a misty summer morning is unbeatable. The feel of flight, the gorgeous cockpits, the great lightning, the new sounds. It's one fantastic combat sim BUT it sorely lacks in content and features which unfortunately has made me stop caring about it. I have no interest at all in flying it at the moment and the sad thing is going back to old IL-2 is impossible when you know how superior CloD is in many ways, I'm stuck in between the old and the new, it's a horrible thing and it makes me wish I hadn't bought CloD at all and at the same time I feel the total opposite. It's a weird situation.
On a brighter note, I'm now really stoked about BoM and I hope it will rekindle my interest in the series and hook me just as IL-2 did 10 years ago!
