Been away a few days guys but this is what I've been doing been playing a lot of IL-2 and making this here video to share my thoughts with you guys for those of you unsure about getting it or not. Great Sim with Great visuals and awesome audio gun/special effects not to mention the fantastic damage model, its also pretty refreshing to have AI who don't just roll over and die, great stuff.

Thanks for creating your first impressions video GS. We are very proud of the improvements we have made to Cliffs of Dover and creating the recently released Desert Wings Tobruk expansion. Great to read so many positive comments and over 1000+ likes within hours of this release. For those who buy the sim based on your video, we hope you enjoy a fantastic flight sim, that not only has stood the test of time, but have has been improved on over the years. Here's to many more. Cheers, Pattle.

I’m actually glad you’ve started to get into IL-2 Sturmovik, there aren’t a lot of creators out there covering it like you do.

Great review! I made the D.520, Beaufighter, Bf-109/trop and Tomahawk/Kittyhawk campaigns for _Tobruk_ as well as 12 of the single missions. You're spot-on when you say it was a passion project for us - my interest in WWII aviation started from going to the Australian War Memorial and watching _Battle of Britain_ as a kid, so I always wanted an amazing Battle of Britain game. CloD's unfortunate state when it was first released sadly defined it for years, so it was a dream come true to not only work on improving the base game but also add Tobruk (where my Somme veteran great-grandfather fought) and some of the Battle of France. I never thought I'd get this opportunity, much less at this age (I'm 21).

My friend Oleg Maddox - who developed this sim - considers it his masterpiece (he did the orginal IL2 and Cliffs of Dover). Nice to see this review!

Il 2 sturmovik is one of the best dogfight games ever made. I always have nostalgia when seeing a video or playing it.

Wise, not taking that head on.

That was the Hurricane iC with four 20mm. That wouldn't have been pretty.

Great grandfather serves in Tubruk (he was a medic) so when I build my PC rig someday this will be one of the first games I add to my steam library

[BadAtWarThunder]

I love these types of vids, vtol vr, IL-2, all of it. Great vid GS!

[anukarshchopra]

Nice work GS, the dogfight was so smooth

[daverils]

Great review! So glad you mentioned the Joystick Wizard. It’s really sped up and simplified setting up your controls as you showed in your video.

[sargesacker]

I've always loved cliffs of Dover, everyone always talks about Stalingrad and its expansions but they rarely ever talk about this gem.

[Aidy]

Really looking forward to more content from this, I absolutely love the IL-2 games, and this one is so awesome. I'm glad to see you playing it GS.

A British Wildcat variant! TIL, how wonderful 😍

[flarex]

Thanks for featuring CloD! It's my favourite sim ever!

[whiskeyactual.]

This is going to be one of the first games installed on my new system build and my first flight sim. Planning on running it in 21:9 3440x1440

[tobidorifto]

I'm Addicted to your vids man, so dope! keep it up

[stutzpunkt]

Very excited to play this game! My Grandfather flew p40s over North Africa. In addition to downing 1.5 Ju88s, his great claim to fame was having be shot down by Hans Joachim Marseille in a BF109. Unlike Marseille he survived the war.

On the other hand, DCS AI's like to defy the laws of physics in a dogfight.

[Flyright]

Glad you added this to the channel. The history of this franchise is fantastic.
