The best thing about Il2 was it let you fly so much of the "real" war, jabo in an Emil on the Eastern front, Gladistors in Scandinavia, Hurricanes over Singapore, Avia's in Slovakia etc etc
Before Il2 95% of combat flight sims basically revolved around recreating scenes from American war movies.
Il2 changed all that and proved you do not necessarily need the Pony fan-boi fraternity to be a success.
