I remember when I saw IL-2 Sturmovik jpgs for the first time in..I guess it was 2000. I saw that 109 F2 starting up with dust all around it and noticed that the wing tips actually looked round and noticed how beautiful..for that time...that F2 looked. At that time I was flying Warbirds and Janes WWII Fighters online. When I saw that F2 it's all I thought about untill the Demo came out in late August 2001, no F2 but the G2 a Stumovik a P-39 and a ...Lag? I can't remember the fourth. I still have VHS tapes of me and other friends flying that Demo back then, what fun times. Then the game came out in Canada on the 27th of November and a week earlier in the states. I almost drove down to Oroville across the border in WA. State to get a copy but I didn't trust my car. When it rained your feet would get wet and the shift cable came off about twice a week.
Anyway the impact that Storm Of War will have will be the same as the impact 2001 IL-2 Sturmovik had I feel. Just in closing, one thing that IL-2 has never done is mislead us or show anything that is phoney like the movie below. Microsoft put this movie out pushing their CFS3 product, when it came out I bought it right away thinking this thing was going to be fantastic...I took it back to the store an hour after it was installed
