both games are great,
and i agree with most of the assesments above, except engine managment. i prefer the il2 wep, each planes have different amount of time on wep depending on conditions (engine temp when wep is engaged, radiator open/closed, ect.) but in an emergency you can choose wether or not you turn off wep or let it eat your motor. i've always thought AH ought to have that option instead of the wep that automaticly turns it self off when you redline the temp.(did real planes wep auto shut down or did the pilot have to pay attention to the wear and stress he was inflicting on his engine?)
