I have been flying R0F for a bit now, and I would not go so far as to say that it is better out of the box than the original IL2.

R0F suffers from lack of content, both in terms of aircraft and online capabilities, and an overly complex and totally undocumented mission builder.

If neoqb can deliver on some high content patch work, then it will become a classic of the genre. If not, well, I have other $40 coasters around the house that it can join.

I hope they pull it off. I really enjoy this type of flying. It is very much more difficult than WW2 flying, by a huge margin. Bearcat alludes to this in his post. A lot of players simply will not "get" what it is about no matter how polished it becomes, because they can't go 450mph and tote around a brace of 30mm cannon.

But for the virtual flyer that appreciates the subtlety of sticking a .303" machine gun right in the enemy's face and pulling the trigger, it will be an answered prayer.
