It's quite different. It took a lot of time for me to readjust and to actually learn to shoot things down again. I needed some convincing that the new feeling was indeed better. The most convincing argument was lots and lots of guncam footage, where time and again I saw the guys keep having the exact same kind of trouble lining up and hitting targets that I myself was having.

Lower speeds also feel different. It's so much fun to just barnstorm in a Tiger Moth, flying through hangars, or doing loops under the Tower Bridge at 45 mph.

The joystick input has a lot more than what we had with Il-2. You can adjust your settings of course.

A Fiat BR.20 Cigogna, I guess ?

It is indeed. We've got the British Irvin jacket guy sitting everywhere for now, but you can see some of our other pilot models in our previous updates. We'll have proper Italians manning Italian planes in the release of course.
