il2 sturmovik

ajrimmer42 · 04-14-07, 03:55 AM

I downloaded a free trial of IL-2 Sturmovik (the first game) and thought it was great. I am also thinking about getting 1946, mainly because there are about 296 flyable aircraft! And the game is about 2947 times better than the MS Combat Flight Sim series lol. Let us know if it's worth it!

I now have IL-2 1946! and it's very good, in fact it's phenominaly good. It's not very clear how many planes there actually are (there's a lot!) but you get even more with the patches ubi are releasing.

Is it like CFS3 and you can change the outcome of the war? I hated that about cfs3

No, the built-in campaign generator can be affected but in a small way by your actions...scripted (a few are included as well) campaigns not at all.

nice. glad to hear that. Is there any modding sites or community sites like subsim for il2?

Not really, though you should check out the official ubi forums for it. IL-2 is not moddable per se, BUT you can find a lot of very good skins for it, along with some very nice user-made scripted campaigns. Otherwise most of the IL-2 data is closed, which means you'll find nothing like realism mods, add-on units or new maps, because they don't exist.

If you plan to play random/dynamic campaigns, I highly suggest you get IL2DCG however, a sort of SHIII Commander of IL-2 campaign generation (as in, a real must-have):
