Of course. He shall also learn how to stalk convoys in SH3, and how to be a fan of European Metal

But I digress.

Hmm, so regardless I'll have fun. Sounds good to me. Once I get internet capabilities, I'll have to join you guys.

I've gathered that the DCG is the GWX of IL-2, so I was going to get it anyway. I dont think I read about the ground activity though. Sounds interesting.

So if I fly as Germany, and start bombing convoys belonging to Russia, I'll push further and further into the heart of the Soviet Union, and help the Germans win at Stalingrad for example?
