I don't have CloD, and haven't heard much good about it. Anyway, CloD is a project closed up, while Il-2 is a living one (thank to Team Daidalos and the community).

In Il-2 1946, you can fly a variety (actually many dozens) of wwii planes against a huge variety of human-controllable or AI planes (actually more than one hundred). If you have a decent rig, graphics is not that bad either. DMs are a bit old-syleish, but FMs are historically correct (so far as possible), and the AI is being constantly improved.

There are mods which widen the scope of the game in many aspects, e.g. towards the post-war jet era, or towards the Spanish Civil War, or towards wwi (look around at SAS1946.com).

If you opt for Il-2, you may want to consider purchasing the DVD edition (some people had issues with downloaded copies).

Clod with the latest patches from team fusion would be a great sim but the project is officially closed. Also the online community is a lot smaller than IL2 and lives substantially around ATAG server which is a full real environment only.
IL2 is still a living community. There's a lot of server still in good shape and you will have a wider choice of gameplay from full real to intermediate to arcade, with lot of scenarios and dozens of planes each with its own personality.
Both sims imho are way ahead from war thunder from a simmer's point of view. If you are used to war thunder you will be amazed by the way they are deep and immersive and by the quality of gameplay they (....and the online pilots of this community...) can offer.
