I took IL2 out on rental and passed.

I took HoE out on rental and I'm buying it.

Sturmovik is the better simulator but HoE is by far the better game. There is a difference. The vast majority of gamers out there are a million miles away from the people who form the main membership of this forum. They haven't somehow convinced themselves that they've flown WWII fighters for real and really don't give a rat's ass whether they can use a joystick or not. What they want is a game that has no pretensions and delivers a fast and fun gaming experience in both single and multi player. Sturmovik could have delivered this AND its niche market simulation offerings. It didn't, it won't, and that's why it's a dead game online already except for a small handful of aviation bores and boosters.

Sturmovik makes too many mistakes and has way too many obvious omissions to ever be more than a very minor cult hit among the aircraft nerd community.

Mock HoE as you like, I bet we see a sequel for it though. That's not a guarantee for a failure like Sturmovik.

ROFL's. Nice way to attack the entire community like a true troll. Dont let the forums door hit your arse on the way out. Enjoy your half baked, cheap skate immitation game. All those reviewers out there who said IL2 was better by miles must have all been bribed by those Russian Oligarks at 1C LMAO.
