Video Game Reviews of IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946
Customer Review: The best memory x quality ratio
Summary: 5 Stars
It can be as much realistic as you want, or as much fun as you want.
The graphic quality is amazing for a simulator which requires so few memory resources.
As for the technical aspects of the airplanes, I haven't seen better simulators, specially when it comes to WWII airplanes.
And...you get the complete collection for a low price!
Customer Review: Replacement game
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to replace my original IL-2 game because I wore out the CD. It's great, I was glad to find a new copy!Customer Review: Best sim available.. but
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all I would like to say that this is the best sim available (probably ever). While many aspects are very realistic, there are some problems with the flight modelling. The game seems to be very biased. All of the American fighters are a nightmare to fly. For instance, the p-51 and p-47 should be able to fly circles around a 109 at 25k. Wrong. The only advantage are their superior speed at this altitude. In another scenario, while playing online, a fw-190A8 (2500 ft/min in real life) proceded to outclimb my f6f (3500 ft/min in reality) right after takeoff. At these low altitudes, my 2000hp f6f should have left it in the dust. The .50 caliber machine guns are also mysteriously weak. If you disagree with me, set up a single player mission with you in an f6f and a friendly in a fw-190A8. Get yourself within 100 yards of it (directly behind) and try to shoot it down. You will probably waste half of your ammo before you make a dent. The p-38s controls get shot out in 1 hit and if you breathe on the P-40 the wrong way, its engine will burst into flames and the elevators controls will fail. Honest to god, the only decent American planes are the P-39 and the P-63 (probably because they were favored by the game developers country during WWII). The axis teams dominate when playing online. Allies do not even have a chance unless spits are available. I am not saying that the US had the best aircraft during WWII, but there is no way that they were this terrible. Had they been, the allies would have lost the war.Customer Review: Great flight Sim
Summary: 5 Stars
Il-2 is the absolute best ww2 flight sim when it comes to realism. It not for people who just want to shoot 'em up. You will need to to master take offs, landings, flight instrumentation, navigation and engine control. After that, aerial combat maneuvers will be even more challenging. The air, sea and land scenery is stunning as well as the accuracy of all the aircraft. It is amazing to takeoff in a Grumman Wildcat in the Pacific and have to manually crank a handle to retract the landing gear. These guys did there homework on ALL of the aircraft. Cheers!Customer Review: Historicaly accurate fun
Summary: 5 Stars
The Holy Grail of combat flight sims. You can configure the game for anything from arcade shootem up to full on realism with complex engine management, blackouts, headshake, etc... Each plane modelled flies like the real thing with variants within a paticular model displaying different flight characteristics. Fanatical attention to historic detail, they release patches just to change the style of lettering on a guage or the color fo its needle if they didn't get it right the first time.
