IL2 sale any good? Dunno what the "normal" prices are

[hazmatt]

Holy cow! The sale is over.
One I paid 19 for yesterday is now 79!
and the other that I paid 14 for is now 49!
The planes went from 4 to 20.

I'm glad I was able to catch the sale. Is their any rhyme or reason to when they have sales? Maybe that was a cyber Monday sale?

[Devil 505]

They usually do a winter sale and a summer sale. Those were the best prices I've seen, glad you could get something.

 Yep sale time short. Glad u got what u wanted. I t think this was a good topic anything that gets people like your kids interested in ww2 Sims helps this game out. I do DCS IL2 and AH they all are fun but different. DCS for me is just if I really want to learn to fly realistic. IL2 is just for quick plays and AH is for multiplayer

[GasTeddy]

Grabbed Tank Crew, FW190D and Hs 129 via sales. Had Bodenplatte, Kuban and Sturm already.

Never tried IL2 for some reason.  I did try Warthuder and thought it was cheesy as all hell.

Having two young kids now.. not going to happen.  Maybe if it's around in 14 years I'll give it a try.

If IL2 could port it's graphics to AcesHigh,there'd be a mad rush of sales

Ugh. I had to install stream and steamVR to get my VR to work in IL2.

I having some fun doing some nutjob stuff. One mission I set up to intercept a c47 with a HE 111 H6. The guns sux so bad that I think the gunners ran out of ammo before they shot it down. I'm gonna try it with the H16 and see how that goes. It's kinda cool watching the front gunner jump up and grab the gun and start shooting and then madly replacing drums of ammo. I'm kinda shocked the Germans didn't have belt fed defensive guns in their bombers from the start.

I must say I love the collision modeling. It's pretty dramatic. Big fireball and everybody dies.

However I was able to chew most of the vertical stab off a C47 with an HE111 prop.  I could tell from what was left that prop was made of wood lol. I ended up having to crash land it in a field.

The AI pilots are a trip. Bastages love to fly directly into the sun and I have to use the bars on the canopy to try to see them.

Another time I chased a p47 into a cloud only to find out it was a rainstorm and I couldn't see anything. That one got away.

There's some capture the flag thing that I'm trying to figure out and also how to do ground attack.

It has relaxed realism where there are icons but in the full realism I could see how you could shoot down friendly planes.

Every time I fly the 110 I manage to burn up both engines within about 15 minutes. Not sure how I'm doing it as I'm not running it wide open the whole time.

The the biggest thing that is missing from IL2 that I've noticed so far is the 200 chat/drama but then again the reason I took a break was because of the mods on 200. LOL

[GasTeddy]

Flag catch is done by tanks, aircrafts are supporting and protecting them. With 110, you have to use cooler shutters (oil & water) manually. It's a keyboard command I never remember.

If your headset is capable you can run IL-2 in OpenXR, and use XRNecksafer with it. For OpenXR you just change one dll file (\bin\game\Openvr_api.dll). For your "burning up engines" issue I suggest you install the "Pilot Notes for Cockpit photos mod" to see each planes limitations while in the cockpit (https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/55201-pilots-notes-for-cockpit-photos/).

That's genius. Kudos to whoever had that idea.

[Eagler]

Wondering what the level of hacks and cheats in il2 is...

With as many allowed hacks as seems to be allowed..it would lend itself to such unlike ah where you can't

This dweeb should have posted this on IL-2 forums instead in puking on ours. What a bunch of former player DipS*&^%.
This is AH,....obviously, not for long. Moron

[Animl-AW]

Thanks for all the info.

I'm guessing that buying Stalingrad and Tank battle wouldn't give me two accounts.
 
I'm looking to be able to play with my kids as I had been hoping to do with AH.

What would be the best way to to do that?

I think I'm gonna buy Stalingrad premium and the D9 and Hurri2. Think that would be a good start?

Also I might buy Tank battle or Stalingrad as needed for a 2nd account.

well that's because you're an idi*&

I though you left? Your word is about as good as a wet book of matches. Full of crap from head to toe.
