Aahh..gotcha.

While modding IL2:1946 was forbidden, it still was done and later it became accepted and no one would stick to the vanilla game because of the horrible sounds and lack of more variety in maps like a proper channel map and the variants of aircraft like earlier spits and hurricanes.

Thus many mod packs came out since then and the best known and afaik still supported is HSFX:


Also a great deal of work has been done to Cliffs of Dover by Team Fusion irrc but I'm not really up to date to what extend they've ''fixed'' the game.

Still both games offer no match for the superb single player experience BOBII gives you but if you fancy a flight online I guess it's up to personal preference if you wish to focus on just the Battle of Britian or other theaters as well.
