Yep there is the Quick Mission Builder which jumps you pretty much straight into the action as well some online dogfight servers resemble that as well. IL-2 can be boring or intense or calculating and challenging in a half dozen different ways. It's the reason why it's fun and long lasting because there is always something new to check out or something to master.

Some people are top notch level bomber pilots and can put bombs on a pillbox from 5000 meters. Some people are superb boom and zoom fighter pilots and can hit other aircraft at odd angles and high rates of speed. Still others are close in knife fighters and can outmaneuver others with apparent ease. Or what I consider my specialty is the tactical fighter-bomber which means flying and fighting low with rockets and bombs and putting as much on target while using the correct methods to avoid flak when possible.

With 200+ flyables there is something for everyone. But definitely no hand holding... the game can be difficult. If possible spend a bit of time with the quick mission builder (QMB) and then try and link up with some voice communications online and learn the ropes there.
