IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad Press Previews after 1C Event

[WhiskeyWhiskey]

I've said it before, you can't yet find a replacement for IL2.

The new sims are so limited that you will never see a P-51.

In IL2 there are so many different flight models for pretty much every nation that participated in the WW2 air war.

Do I care that much that the F6F may or may not be an accurate representation of what it really was? hell no!

Every aircraft in IL2 has its own characteristics that you have to learn and use, whether or not they are 100% accurate.

I'm not totally sure, but I think DT could even implement a patch that gives realistic aircraft management for all aircraft, if they wanted.

Big goal I know, but I think the function is there to do it, like priming the engine, or charging the guns.

I remember when Janes first started coming out. It was so detailed oriented the flight sim was just not fun.

IRL it takes a good 15 mins to fire up an engine and have all the systems ready for taxi and to make sure everything is set and ready, not to mention the preflight planning.

Thats IRL, I don't need all the extra stuff when the focus should be on the combat experience.
