But at the time that was considered playable by the majority of the community. I know no one that even thought about playing it with the graphics totally maxed out. IL2 was playable because you could get online with all your mates and fly it into the wee hours of the morning without a worry about CTDs,and have a grand time doing it. And we did, night after night, for years. And I did it with a Ti 4400.

That's playability. Don't confuse it with eye candy ability.

And that is what we currently lack.
