Fly one of the better maps. The Slot is an awesome map, and you might find you enjoy flying over alot of water island to island in a Corsair. A great plane... makes lots of noise and breaks stuff pretty easy too.

I spent one year just building missions on the Kuban map when I first started with IL2. If the IL2 was all the end of Oleg's efforts it would still be the very best air combat sim. The IL2 is still darned awesome, if you haven't done the TD additions you have missed some good action.

It's just the promise of something better that cranks us up.

When it comes out then it will be time to buy one someplace. If you can download it through "scream" it won't matter what day it releases. You can spend your money and have it in a few minutes.

Oh I've been flying IL2 since 2002 or so, and I do use all the TD additions.
I love IL2, I fly it often. Lately I've just been craving something new for my eyes and have been all amped up for the release of CoD!
For the longest time the release date was 25th March. When I pre-ordered it was 25th March. I have a 3 day weekend then, and my GF leaves for france a few weeks later which frees up TONS more time to play CoD.. I really thought my stars were aligned. I was destined to have time to play it! But now release dates are "officially" changed to 26th April and I'm just more than frustrated with it all

Between IL2 and RoF, I'm sure I can make the time go by. I just hope I have the time to fly this sim properly when it comes out. With the amount of time I have on a regular basis, it'll take me a week just to get my hotas set up for it heh. Here's to hoping it's all just a dream and we all see it released 25th March as Oleg said.
