Still loving IL2 1946

[PeterPanPan]

Well, with my Xbox broken and feeling a little tired of CoD, I played IL2 1946 online last night for the first time in ages.

Bloody brilliant! The lower quality graphics matter not a jot. Frame rates were of course through the roof and the game play/lack of glitches and comparatively limitless choice of missions/maps/aircraft mean this game has still got it. It was like seeing an old and very good friend again - a most pleasurable experience.

I know some here just can't go back having had a taster of CoD but I did and loved it. CoD has a long way to go to catch up to IL2 1946 as an overall package IMHO.

Well then give it some time.

Play it much more than Clod. A couple of us in the dangerdogz bimble in Clod every now and then, but our regular flying is il2.

I think 4.11.1 is a distinct possibility this Sat:cool:

we're going to host through hyperlobby again if your around:)

I have been firing it up (1946) a lot more the past few weeks to do some of my favourite SP campaigns. It's nice to get into another 'pit', combat theatre, etc, and like you say, when you get over the initial reaction to the graphics, it's still a great sim! I actually found it harder than CloD regards spotting ac and the AI are far more threatening.......great fun!

I'll hop on your TS server again and see if I can dodge some bullets :)

Some of the 6BL might be around too.

Fly it two to three times a week, modded to buggery of course.

A game that has stood the test of time and will take a hell of a lot to surpass it, even if the graphics are starting to show their age the gameplay itself is so immersive and intuative its second nature.
I only wish they would have the same overlay for CLoD

I will fly back to 1946, the discouragement is great with the CLOD.

As I said in my previous post "I think this beta patch will be released only a few days before the launch of expancion

I'll be hosting an IL2 DF thingy on Saturday for the Pigs and our friends.

Western Desert '43 sometime after Torch.

Basically and excuse to blow up a bunch of moving tanks, trucks, and the odd AI flight...

It's been a long time since we flew '46.

Cliffs of Dover? I still want to be flying the great range of aircraft available in IL-1946. It will be a long time before we get to fly the amount aircraft in IL-1946 in the CoD engine. Still waiting for the new patch before I buy CoD. Hopefully I'm in for a treat when its smooth.

I wonder whether there are many holding back like myself before buying CoD. Hopefully when smooth those holding back will be able to reward the CoD team with a purchase so they have got more $$ in the bank to continue development and develop more Aircraft for future releases. I for one am one of those waiting to give CoD team my $$ to play with the new patched engine.
