Default IL-2 1946 never fails to amaze me even in its old age.

Was playing the stock Army Group South Campaign(still haven't figured out how to get third party DGen's working. If anyone would like to help i'm using the Team Daidalos 1.12m patch.) and as I was fighting I-16's south of Yalta I noticed something I never saw before. It was the Swallow's Nest which considering how old the game is i'm surprised they modeled it at all. I was only able to admire it for a second before I got blasted by one of the I-16's. Still i'm finding new things in the game even after years of playing it and though the graphics may be dated(Though not badly and they still hold up quite well) it shows no sign of slowing down.

I still play it to this day actively in multiplayer campaigns with realism units. I still haven't played anything better. I am hoping that the new IL2, Battle for Stalingrad will be just as good, if not better!

I really enjoy IL-2 BoS so far... I am still messing around vs. AI, but it feels very good so far. Cheers!

Honestly I don't plan on moving on until computers can't run the game anymore. Still the best damn combat flight sim i've ever seen or played.
