Watch it - I started on Birds of Prey for Xbox !

You would be suprised how many console players went out and bought a PC and IL1946 because they wanted more SIM properties than a console can support.

Oh yeah that's a thing we know of you - I was myself beating others with a hammer for gameplay

Don't quite understand that comment or it's relevance to the topic... Is the hammer a cryptic reference to a SpitMk1a by any chance.?....if so - Viva la Spitfire.......

It's definitely worth a play, it's not IL2 and it's not CoD but it looks great, performs well and the Flight models and damage models are adaptations of the IL2 engine. Campaign is quite immersive though it would have been better with proper accents for commentary. It's great for a quick custom dogfight too, AI isn't unreal but it's still fun. Not quite simulation but much more than an arcade sim compared to other efforts. I actually prefer it to RoF but that's probably just my bias to the plane set and period.

It's an arcade game in every sense of the meaning.
Here is great representation of the game.

From TomcatVIP: MP was a burden or a plea to play with strange individuals gaming the play with strange FM, UFO moves or simply ground scratching flight. As an admin it was not even possible to ban them as an hosting server.

I'm not sure as to when your experience comes from, but in the two years since release the game has come a long way. You can certainly kick people from your own server if you don't want to have them in your game.

TomcatVIP: But moreover the fact that we had to pay for the patch that could cure all the basics bugs the game have encountered was simply a shame

Don't know what you are talking about, I've never had to pay a cent for any update in that game and there were many.

Seems to me that your opinion is somewhat dated. Your video is from the Beta, more than two years ago. Yes you can fly this game with Arcade settings if you want to (including icons, sounds, music, etc.) but you don't have to. It's far from an Arcade game when you play it at full settings, or would you say that the video I posted above shows you Arcade gameplay?

Whatever peoples opinions regards WOP that video has to be the worst example with the fixed cockpit view and does not do it any justice. Visually it's far better than that. Anyone thinking about this title should check later vids with headtracking and POV zoom enabled.

I am curious about the numerous updates since I last fired it up (some are over 4Gb!) so in the process of updating my copy to see all the changes.

I played it found it too arcrady, tiny maps it's just a dogfight game... Air sarts etc and then if they did use large maps they would have to reduce the quality of maps. Compare what you can do in the game to 1946 even it's clear which one is given the title arcade and the other sim.

Even the new one will be getting tiny maps which makes me wonder hy bother with a heavy bomber????

Misleading it can be customized like Il2 1946

As stated above it can't be compared with CLOD but it is not an arcade despite that with lower realism settings it can be played as an arcade.
