I'm not deleting il2 as soon as BOB SOW is out.
Il2 has lots more planes and lots more maps.
O.k. the graphics are becoming very oldfahioned but the gameplay is still a lot of fun.
SOW will only have the battle of Britain(correct?) so when you are bored with this scenario there is not alot more to do in there till the DLC's come out giving more planes and maps.
And waiting for those can take a very long time.
So the modding peoples still do good work trying to keep the old,aging, classic
oldtimer IL2 alive and running.
If only Oleg wasn't so anti modding in the beginning of IL2 we would have had a much improved Il2 years ago. (I know about the online cheating probs. but still )
Look at Oblivion and Fallout3 those games are still great fun years after they ended up in the bargain bin because of the many modders who greatly improved the games.
Kudos for the modders and kudos for the PC. Try modding a PS3 or xbox game nopes not possible so PC rules and will outlive all those crappy consoles
