I fly in VR, thats where the real fun starts

IL2 does have a history of having some of the finest flight simulators. I remember playing IL2 Forgotten Battles and IL2 1946 back when I was very young

All of the addon's including Flying Circus and Tank Crew...some the best sim experience ever! Love the entire series.

4 years later il2 is still the best ww2 air combat sim. Good games on the horizon

I honestly still enjoy il-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles. Got it from a random games magazine like 15, 16 years ago.

Thanks! Great review of a great simulator! IL-2 Sturmovik is a legend! My favorite simulator! :-)

Judging by how wobbly the aircraft you are flying in this video you need to adjust the joystick input sensitivity. Google YouTube videos on it as it makes your aircraft much easier to control.

This game and the WWI sim "Rise of Flight" are incredible!

I have been playing IL-2 BOS for about a year now. Mostly just setting up random scenarios of me versus AI enemies. Configuring my flight stick and throttle controls was a PITA at first. As more of a "casual" player, I was thrilled when I figured out how to take off and land safely (most of the time...) I am now working on trying to take off with the "normal" settings instead of the "custom." Just getting off the runway and maintaining level flight is far more difficult now....

As a VR player i´ve got to say i love IL-2.

I played IL2 back in the early 2000’s and it was a fantastic game even then. I’ve recently been getting the bug to dive back into it.

Perfect video ! super commentary, professionaly done !
Last thing I wanna say. Fly this in VR and since that you will neverč ever play any other game. That experience is just like very new life.

brother your review is
you deserve a like

[mesijevoprenejvozed]

Thank you for the review Sir! And your "audio joke" in 04:40 is really amusing ;-)

4:42 You've earned a sub, man. Keep up the good work!

It's my favourite sim at the minute. I just love certain aspects, the way the planes handles, and the damage model. I wish they would add more options to the QMB. If it had a built in mission editor like DCS I'd go from hundreds to thousands of hours in the sim

[shorelinesquirrelsnfriends]

I see black outs in war thunder when trying to turn and G's are high. One can also spin out of control and go into a flat spin or even lose a wing if one tries to turn too hard or climb too hard.

[AceCmbatguy]

That's a very cool intro ! Good video also. Love this combat flight sim and have sunk way to much money and too many hours into it !

Great video JoyPlanes. I greatly like IL-2 as I’ve been playing it for a long, long time. There’s a lot to like in IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad; I’m greatly excited about their new IL-2 Battle of Normandy, and have Pre-ordered it. I greatly enjoy the Pilot Career, Campaigns, missions, dogfighting, bombing, ground attacks. The maps are virtually spot on.
The only things I don’t really like are
1. Total lack of radio comms and commands
2. Cockpits are too much of an arcade: you can’t click anything, nor can you hover the mouse over a gauge and it tells you information. CFS3, Microsoft FS, and X-Plane had/have this feature. More people look at the info box for airspeed and altitude than at their instruments.

The IL-2 series, 1946, Cliffs of Dover and Stalingrad (now known as Great Battles) is probably the best Combat flight sim series Ever. I really hope that the latter 2 can have a long life span.
The one thing I wish is that after Normandy they can go back to the Eastern front and add a few Russian bombers like the IL-4, Tu-2S, etc.

I love that comment at the end "remember to not believe what they teach you at school"!
