...is for IL-2 and SH3/SH5 to be multiplayer compatable, i can just imagine diving on a destroyer to help the kaleun being depth charged or patrolling over water spotting a u-boat and attacking it as the Kaleun below crash dives or fights back.
It probably won't happen, but i can dream.:arrgh!:

Nothing wrong with dreams.....I'd like to be in a surface escort (something along the lines of Destroyer Command)shepherding convoys and doling out a bit of revenge http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6356/av129190fjwl3.gif
Even better...could you imagine having a choice as to which side you take, above and below the surface http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/headbanger.gif

Is IL-2 any good? I play Microsofts Flight Sim X and I am scared the FSX realism has ruined me for other flight sims.

It is much better than good. IMHO it is excellent. I'm just not meant to be a flyer :lol:

I've played it some, and it is a very good combat flight sim. Very realistic (read: hard).
Apparently they showed it to pilots who actually flew fighters on the Eastern front and they said it had a very good look and feel to it, very much like the real thing.
I learned the hard way that I am not cut out to be a fighter pilot...I'm more at home on the conning tower of a submarine. :)

If you want to fly AND shoot / bomb / torpedo things in the WW2 stylee, it really can't be bettered. Only two problems with it, it bites into your time just like GWX does ;) and it needs some money throwing after it PC-wise and control-wise (read HOTAS, TrackIR, pedals).
I've owned all versions right up to the last (1946) and never regretted the money spent. Give it a go (or wait until it's replacement SOW:BOB comes out but that'll be a while and a bit more pricey).

if you like FSX and looking for a good air combat sim IL-2 is for you, the graphics aren't as good and the sound seems very similar in all planes but the gamplay is huge and the flight dynamics feel like a real plane should.
personally i like both subs and flight simming they both have there own unique challenges, but i am mainly a flight sim guy.

I've been dreaming of something like this for a loooooong loooooong looooooooooooooooooong time. Maybe, when we have über PCs to calculate everything game like that would need we just might have one. And of course, merchants would be playable too. Kinda like IL2+SHseries+DC+Virtual sailor. Something for the subnuts, flyboys, surface chaps and casual sailors.
The first thing I'd do would be to take my 109, find Jimbuna's Type IX leaving the harbor. Climb waaaay up to the clouds and then dive down like a maniac, leveling off just on the side of the boat and tap Jim to head with my wingtip. :p

Oh no...must...resist...Dowly...must...resist...IL2.. .. :o
Great vids, Dowly! I'm seriously tempted now to trade in my diving planes for a set of wings and dust of the old joystick again... IL2 sure looks good... :hmm:
Nah...I'd better finish my career first. It's only October 1939 yet. :D

Those IL2's are just crazy! But there's a weakpoint, the radiator is sticking out of the bottom, hit that, no matter the caliber and the engine starts to smoke and lose power, eventually dying.
And that fricking armored cockpit! I made a test month or so back, friendly IL2 flying straight and level, me in a BF109E, unlimited ammo. I shooted to the back of the cockpit for ~10 minutes from point blank range, not a scratch to the pilot. :rotfl:
Give up to the dark side. :p

You nearly got me there, Darth Dowly! But not yet...not yet... :stare:
I played IL2 a year or two ago when I got a copy from a friend. I really love the action and feel of those old fighters! My friend is a combat flight-sim freak (honestly, he would see that as a compliment) and he told me I should absolutely try it. I think it is a really well-made flight sim, but it has one major drawback: I suck at it. :oops:
Seriously...I got shot down more times than I can remember. Perhaps it's because my controller is not very good...it's older even than this computer and not really suited to flight-sims. Perhaps with a better controller...
But for now, Darth Dowly, I am a sub commander :)

Trust me, the wrecks carrying my name are covering half the Russia. Everyone sucks at it in the beginning, the flight model is completely different from the rest of flight/combat flight sims. :up:

Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better about it...
However, I am still not turning to the dark side ;)
