IL2 is great because.......

[SEE]

BOP was the only title that tempted me to go on line (and pay but thats Xbox) made so many friends its unbelievable.......pity we can't all get on line across the platforms and make it an even bigger community. Sad that so many deserted the Xbox game but I guess its 'quality' rather than 'quantity that compensates for that, we still get new names on Xbox.........and a few of the 'originals' making the odd appearance, which is nice.............

The passion and level of detail that programers/delvolpers put in to what is a work of art

Good thread, Gilly!

I love this game ..
when I play alone, it's really relaxing ..
I select a SIM training mode, i choose a slowly opponent as a Po and my excursion begin.
I enjoy the level of details and the sense of freedom of this game...
I look around, flying under the bridges, above the clouds.. I try new tricks looking my flaps go down landing in a field... i go to the refrigerator, i take a beer and smoke a cigarette and take off again... (before the Po joins me and drop a bomb on my head)

When three months ago I finally installed Internet ... for me it started a new Era.
At first, dealing with real pilots, I had to re-learn how to fly ..

The spectacular thing about this game, over fireballs and black stripes which we draw in the sky ..and the rains of aircraft spare parts ... is that every pilot i meet in the sky, has a personal way to fly!
Everyone has a repertoire of characteristic maneuvers, that allows to define each player.. and makes each match unique.

When you begin to know the other pilots, this great tribe of historic aircraft real fans ... you can almost fly without HUD and recognize every pilot looking his way to fly ..

I thank this good online company, mostly the Skullbreakers for the many hours we spent together in this intense and involving scenario.. although I have yet to learn to bail faster ..

See you in the skies, flying mates!

Was serious mate! Great command of English. I could just hear that being spoken over a black and white film as spits and 109's dogfight amongst the clouds

akin to all the other virtual pilots that have posted here I love this game!! I'm sooo sad that after a stressful day at work I set up a training mission against a slow bomber & just free-fly, exploring the map of my choice.
Usually set in the evening/hazy watching the sun refract on me & the scenery as I fly under bridges, along cliff faces & following rivers etc.
I have made many friends & don't take my battles too seriously, if I end up top dog great!, If I get shot down so be it.( you always get another chance!)
The XBOX pilots are now a small group but there is great camaraderie.
I waited years for a game just as this to come to the XBOX 360, you will find me on almost every evening.

Flight sims in general have netted me some of my best friends both online and in the real world. Il2 is great for the variation that it offers it's players, not just plain sim or arcade as is usually the case with flight sims but three modes ensuring everyone is catered for. The graphics are certainly some of the best available on the next gen consoles this combined with satisfying playability have made it one of my best purchases on the ps3.
