I have to say that the question really don't make sense in the current context. IL-2 was developed back in the GeForce 2/3/Radeon 7000 series days. If you want to know what the engine was developed on...then probably one of those long since passed cards. Everything added to the engine since then has been based on the initial work there...certainly the pixel shaded water/perfect mode that came with Forgotten Battles was tested on cards like the Radeon 9700Pro and the GeForce 4000 series. The improved pixel shaded water with displacement mapping was new to the 6000 series GeForce cards so it was probably tested on a GeForce 6800GT.
But ALL of these cards are old. IL-2 1946 had no engine developments to speak of so asking which card it was developed on really doesn't make sense in the present context. If they did their job way back when...then the answer is that they probably tested on a variety of cards and configurations to ensure that the engine and game overall was working properly.
Also its a total lie that ATI cards can't do Perfect mode. I had a very good Radeon 9700Pro that did Perfect mode fine from Forgotten Battles version 1.0.
Are you asking for suggestions for good cards to buy now that work with IL-2 1946? Because then I think we could give a series of good suggestions from both ATI and nVidia.
