Man I want to but I don't even have time to play now and summer is coming.

I'd have jumped on it if they were warbirds but those are all still $25 each on sale!

go play with your engine management, because finding a fight is fruitless

I think those full fidelity warbirds are a a steal at $25.

Animl… knock it off with the gatekeeping again.
IL2 is a fun game to play both the old and the new. I could care less about the Jets coming. I’ve never played multiplayer and I don’t intend to. I enjoy a rich campaign experience which this game cannot offer. I love even more that that experience is even further enriched by a deep community modding library. What the users did with 1946 is amazing. Imagine if we could unleash our best minds in a modding stance? They would slay plain and simple.
Playing IL two now and then against their AI has made me a much better pilot here and I’m here every night. Expand your horizons a tad or stay in the back.

LOL. I was thinking to buy FC because it looks like easy mode and I want to get kills, not be a clay pigeon. Most likely I'd only fly one bird to try to get good in it if I bought FC. My real interest is the WB but from what I've read the WB servers don't have the numbers of the other servers and I'd rather not play with myself unless I have to. Maybe I could play red team and shoot down some misguided Huey pilots...

There is nothing requiring you to be omnipresent in every single thread.

Have you tried the free A4 mod?
https://github.com/Community-A-4E/community-a4e-c (https://github.com/Community-A-4E/community-a4e-c)
It's supposed to be very good. Almost paid quality. Can't beat that price.
If I was going to only buy 1 warbird it would be the Spit. It'sa beatiful model and it flys like a dream and on most server it would be it the sweet spot down low where 90% of the fights happen.
$0.02

Thanks for the advice. I'll def check into it.

I bought the A-10A FC because the A-10C is a little more than I want to learn.
I also got the Mig-15FC because F the brake on it.

So if I understand correctly the FC planes are the ones that are the easiest to learn? I don't really have the time to learn the startup sequence of the planes and the in depth radar modes. I like the way it works in war thunder where you can set the range and the modes with the on screen menu instead of trying to click knobs and buttons.

Most everything I've flown always has an autostart key mapping (WIN+HOME). You still have to wait while it does the startup. Various servers and missions can also allow hot starts if you want.
FC planes have a simplified FM and systems implementation. They are popular. For casual fun they are probably better and cheaper.
The full fidelity planes are museum-grade, digital replica's or as close as anyone has created. You can see where the cost goes if you want maximum detail. If you really want to learn how an aircraft actually operated, and get a direct feel of the workload of these young pilots, then a full fidelity model can be rewarding. It's the closest you will find of actually owning one and have it sitting at your local FBO fueled up and waiting for you whenever you wanted to take it for a spin.

Yes, it is Aces High player friendly. Easy mode. Just program three modes for weapon activation and program gear and other stuff
