IL2 is great because.......

[Lost Apiarist]

I love this game for giving me a taste of a WW II sim with the flexibility to be an arcade style game on my XBOX. I love this game for giving my wife endless hours of entertainment as I lean left and right subconsciously and unable to stop my self.

I love being able to hop into an authentic WW II plane from the comfort of my living room. I love the fact that people are so authentically excited and fond of the game.

See you in the skies.

You mention in the office during the 'what you doing over Easter conversation' that your dogfighting with mates to then be told that it's cruel and that your going to be reported to the RSPCA (royal society for the protection of animals).
I'm still trying to get all of the coffee out of my nose I laughed that much!!!

[dkwookie]

Ha ha, I have visions of that scene in The First Great Train Robbery film with the Pit Bulls

I have to say when I play this game with my ipod on I can almost enter a trance. I get totally transported to the game, only game that does it to me. Its the flying. Its relaxing flying and exciting shooting. Great combination

Where else would you find B17's, HE111's, A20's and Blenheims bombing together whilst LA7's, Spits and 109's dogfight together and against each other in the virtual skies of Kent, Berlin....

Lag isn't so much of an issue as it it with other games for example MW2,
The various types of control have given it a much longer life

And Cheesetactic players can be overcome quite easily unlike campers in mw2.

Then the community is great (apart from a few bad apples), there are no clans which fly around persecuting players for whatever petty reason.

Activities such as formation flying and historic battles also serve to add to the game, these though would not be possible without a good community

I agree, Il 2 is great game, planes burn and crash like the real thing. I love the Hurricane, though I wish the german planes could have a view of the inside as well just like the hurricane.

Luftwaffe_Rommel "332nd Fighter Group" will return to the multiplayer mode in June 6 of 2010 lol "Operation overlord" [La invasion Aerea, Luftwaffe_Rommel se unira a los Alemanes en Bombardeo "strike" equipo B "team B" en Gran Bretana "Great Britain"]

Even when the UK's airspace is shut because of the Icelandic volcanoes ash plume, we can still all fly the skies of Kent!
