The best combat flight sim bar none, but its a steep learning curve

[Nick Smith]

[Nick Smith]

[Veles]

Theres also a plain IL2 and IL2 1946, bit confusing with all the versions.

[Dakaras]

Ok dont bother with plain IL2

At some stage I will be upgrading to IL2 1946 so if buying for 1st time go for that

[Nick Smith]

Aye 1946 is what ye be after me maties!

[Whalefish]

I got 1946 a month ago and have been playing online on the Battle Fields servers. It's great fun but really frustrating at first when you discover that your are really pants at flying and are basically a flying target for the first couple of weeks.
As Dakaras said, boom and zoom is the way to go, though I love taking up an old biplane and flying circles round a newer fighter, I've even managed to shoot a few down.

Hehe trusty turn and burn whale

If you can do it holding hi speed turns works a treat, just need to be careful that you dont go to tight and drop a wing.
