First, I'll just start off as to why I put "hard" for the difficulty. No doubt, this game takes a lot, and I mean A LOT of time, patience and ofcourse with that comes practice. Most flight games, you can bomb a ship and not think twice about it. In this, it is the most fulfilling thing to bomb a ship. You don't get 10 bombs on a plane that looks to only carry 1 bomb. That may be all you get and you better make it count. As for the air combat, it's a hoot. Same goes for shooting down a plane. It takes a lot of practice in shooting one down, but once you start getting it down, it becomes increasingly fun, especially when your playing with friends. As I mentioned this is probably one of the best combat sims at the moment, simply because nothing else comes close to IL-2. A lot of games now claim to be "simulators" but they are merely an arcade style of flying. You can pull as many G's as you want in any direction and never have to worry about stalling or engine failure. If this is the first time, you've heard of the game or have just never tried it before, you should purchase the "1946" package that has 6 games all in one. It's a good deal and trust me, it's well worth it. If you have any questions you want to ask me about it, please feel free to do so. My email is mooch37@hotmail.com.

I was amazed when I first started playing this game at the attention to detail and the sheer scope of what the developers have managed to cram into the game. Set in the 'olden days' you won't find any modern planes in... Read Full Review
