Yeah, that's the one I'm always banging on about.

Does it play more like IL-2 1946 or more like HAWX and IL-2 Birds Of Prey?

More like BoP. It has the exact same engine, graphics and HUD.

I have the BoP demo on my xbox. It's okay....I might pick up these games when they get real cheap.

Well I'll probably be downloading War Thunder soon. Just going off the screenshots alone, the time span goes from the Spanish Civil War up to the Korean War, graphics are between Cliffs of Dover and Rise of Flight, damage modeling is on par with or above that of Rise of Flight and the sheer number of different aircraft is simply amazing!
There are some things that I'm still wondering about, for example I saw screens of the PBY Catalina. But I was left with the question "Did they make it amphibious like it should be?" But I'll have that answered soon enough.

Just signed up, and downloaded the installer. Feel free to find and add me on their forum under 'HerrBerbunch'.

This game looks awesome...

Damn all the cool games that are now being FTP online-only...

Mechwarrior Online.....Silent Hunter Online....and now War Thunder...I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting about...

It's amphibious in Birds of Steel, which is pretty much an offline version of the game, so yes.
