Il2

[DVDA]

I've seen a few videos of IL2 and i was wondering how it compares to this game? Do as many people play it, how is the realism?

[Shane]

isn't that the game where people who can't handle ACM go?

[Schaden]

No it's the game where people who can afford a decent computer go.

On a serious note however I liked the complex engine management thing, the flight characteristics and the eye candy, it does not however offer mmog - it has set scenario's that run like for 45 minutes then a new one loads with about 10 -12 a/c online.

PF might have more I haven't got it yet - for a box sim it's very good, was amazed when I saw my rounds ricochet off the engine armour of an Il2.

Here's an old review-type-thing I did of Forgotten Battles plus Aces Expansion Pack

PF is out and adds the Pacific theater.

Improves a lot of things and added 64 player dogfight servers that are setup various ways depending on the server. A 128 player dedicated server setup is coming sometime. Coop modes are still only 32 players.

it is the best box flightsim on the market

A squaddie gave me his original copy of it. He's running the expansions now. I'm lucky, & have a beefy computer. Runs great, looks amazing. I'm buying the expansions on the way home today.

My personal preference for multiplayer is still AH, but it's an awesome game overall.

[Fruda]

Runs very well, has great sound effects, and the graphics are quite good.

However, I have a serious problem with the ultra-light flight models... Especially the P-47.

It's more detailed than AH2 (currently), but AH2 has better flight models.

[TrueKill]

i have to disagree with that Fruda i like IL2s flight models they seem more real i say il-2 has AH outclassed in everyway sept numbers. if theyd make arenas like AH then theyd give AH a run for its money.


btw woho houston:cool: what part yall from

And don't want it wasted staring at graphics that look as if they were pulled from a sim in the mid 90's.

Thanks, the reviewer is a pretty good guy too

Speaking of reviews, AH2 has been out for a while now yet I can't find any reviews of it. Just old ones of AH1

It's on my list.

To be honest....

If I reviewed it when it first came out I would have probably given it some really rough critiques.  I decided to wait about six months to let the game flesh out a little bit.  The game is improving and I think it will be a much better product in a few months.  A slam of a game that changes significantly probably doesn't do anyone any good.

Now I will be critical of some things in the game, very critical at times but at least some of my concerns have been rectified.
