I have it but I'm a really disappointed with it, I use a logitech 3D stick, so I'm not sure it's the stick but I found the flight model overdone. The planes really overeact, and bob around making it extremely difficult to line up a shot. Also I find the gunnery unrealistic. It seems I need to pump an unreal amount of hits into a plane to see any damage effect, and yet the ai planes, including tail gunners only seem to need to hit me once or twice to take me out. The only way I managed to reduce these problems is to set myself into "invincible" and "simple" flight model. But that now makes it feel like an arcade game,..but at least I now can "fly" it. Although the graphics are nice. I have every version of IL2 and found even the early versions fly , handle, and shoot much better and more realistic than ROF. Plus ROF only gives you about 4 flyable planes, and you need to purchase each extra plane for 7 or 8 bucks each, a real rip off in my humble opinion. I'm a real pilot by the way, so I should have a pretty good idea of what feels more realistic.
