That's what I like about WW2 air combat. A lot of action without alot of complicated navigating and procedures.

actually navigation was well advanced in the 40s, and a navigator of those years was way more prepared and competent of the modern ones.. astronavigation, dead reckoning, flight computers were all used normally, and radio beacons became very popular too.
It's something that's always been missing in IL-2, but as someone else said, Daidalos is starting to implement this stuff now
