An eventual sequel with ...
Modern jets?
Before everyone attacks me, let me say this. IL-2 (though not exactly a 'sim' by definition) is absolutely the greatest console flight game I've ever played.
I mean, the planes aren't modeled spot on from what data says but they are modeled with a good amount of proper physics (i.e. accelerated stalls, torque, induced yaw, pitch and roll, engine failure) with the smallest hint of arcade fun, making a great and quite accessible game for a lot of us.
The simple and quite boring 'point and shoot' flying game is NOT what this game is.
I find that HAWX is like that however, with no decent flight model, no proper stalls, or induced movements from deflecting another control surface.
What I did love about HAWX is the introduction of dodging missiles, flying past Mach 2 and and the sheer modernity of it all. If the IL-2 devs could make something like this game, then I think a modern jet game would be just as much a breakthrough for those of us who love jets as well.
What do you all think?
