IL-2 1946 questions

[Schroeder]

I'm not aware of any AI mods.

@CCIP
There's much more to it. AIs which are not set to expert or ace can't do even the easiest deflective shooting. Just evade slightly and they'll never hit you. Wingmen don't engage when their leaders are attacked, damaged planes disengage combat but don't fly straight back to base but continue their flightplan (even if this leads them deeper into enemy territory with an already screeching engine), planes in rtb mode won't respond to attacking enemies expect for some half a$$ed evading manoeuvres which will never safe them. The AI can see through clouds and at night, 360° all round view. It cheats with the physics and is faster than any human in the same aircraft.
That's just out of the top of my head.

I'm glad that I checked into this forum. I haven't played my flight sims in a while (CS2&3 and MS FS X) and I was looking for a new thrill. I saw IL-2 1946 for $15 (!!!) on Amazon and thought maybe I'd give it a ride. It looks likes there's a boat-load of mods out there for the game, which tells me that (like Silent Hunter and GTR-2) the game's got a dedicated fan base. Goodbye $15!

Thanks everybody.

Good thing about this sim is its still being patched.. If you read the notes for the upcoming 4.11 patch there are AI tweeks in the mix.
