Hi,
"Il-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey" is a great game ok. However, I think,
which like all the games that simulate the piloting of an aircraft,
in mode "simulation",are "overly" complicated to manage.
The "player" pilot has not available all the piloting gears,
to correct the altitude, pitch, roll etc..and the "real" panoramic view
to navigate and orienting itself, and overall, the experience
that has a "real"pilot.
Infact, if you see some video of IIWW dogfight with guncamera,you can observe
that the plane ora "more" stable respect the planes in the "game" during the
combat. When you play you can see, especially in the sim mode,that the plane
is "to much" instable (too pitch and too roll) as if the plane was in the very
midst of a constant "turbulence".
Then I find it useless, in the game, overloaded difficulty
to piloting an airplane, because it is impossible in a console's game,
actually simulate the real piloting of an airplane.
So, I find that the mode "arcade" is the most suitable,
ultimately, to simulate reality. ?!?!
