Still loving IL2 1946

[PeterPanPan]

Well, with my Xbox broken and feeling a little tired of CoD, I played IL2 1946 online last night for the first time in ages.

Bloody brilliant! The lower quality graphics matter not a jot. Frame rates were of course through the roof and the game play/lack of glitches and comparatively limitless choice of missions/maps/aircraft mean this game has still got it. It was like seeing an old and very good friend again - a most pleasurable experience.

I know some here just can't go back having had a taster of CoD but I did and loved it. CoD has a long way to go to catch up to IL2 1946 as an overall package IMHO.

Fly it two to three times a week, modded to buggery of course.

A game that has stood the test of time and will take a hell of a lot to surpass it, even if the graphics are starting to show their age the gameplay itself is so immersive and intuative its second nature.
I only wish they would have the same overlay for CLoD

I will fly back to 1946, the discouragement is great with the CLOD.

As I said in my previous post "I think this beta patch will be released only a few days before the launch of expancion

I'll be hosting an IL2 DF thingy on Saturday for the Pigs and our friends.

4.11.1.

Western Desert '43 sometime after Torch.

Basically and excuse to blow up a bunch of moving tanks, trucks, and the odd AI flight...



It's been a long time since we flew '46.

Play it much more than Clod. A couple of us in the dangerdogz bimble in Clod every now and then, but our regular flying is il2.
