Truekill, I already fly Il-2.
IL2 is actually nice if you give it a chance. One server I fly in is full realistic (realistic as the game can offer). No radar, no icons, no dead six rear views, no key command 6 calls, etc. You need a wingman and a radio. You think Ackinawa is hell? Ackinawa is a bloody walk in the park.
Overall my sim days are now limited and my limited time is spent having fun in "player run servers".
Flying in Il-2 is like landing a DC-3. Flying in Aces High is like landing a Cessna 152.
Aces High CT has it better points, but I choose Il-2 player run servers.
