DukeNukemNov 14, 2009It is the most realistic ww2 flight sim out there, it may be a pain to learn dogfighting in il2 for some who havent got the first hand experience in ww2 dogfights, but once you are through, it gives you the most genuine ww2 air combat experience,

PeterBAug 4, 2008After all this time, this is still THE best World War 2 simulator out there. Period. The insane number of flyable planes, the superior physics, the realistic gunnery and dogfights. There is simply no other game that even comes close. I suspect that IL2 is going to hold that crown for a long time to come.

DashC.Jan 26, 2007Terrific value. Easily the finest WWII flight sim available with over five years worth of content, all for $50.

SebastianRMay 7, 2009The finest flight WWII flight simulator out there. Graphics on the non-aircraft objects are dated, and the menu is horrible, but the gameplay is fantastic. I would not advise buying the game off Steam, because the latest patches are not available for download on that platform (this makes multiplayer servers harder to find).

Jul 28, 2012Along with Silent Hunter III this is my personal favorite simulator of all times. With the Dark Blue World mod, this game is a masterpiece which never gets old and even newer Rise of Flight is not as good as this one.

Mar 6, 2013The best WW2 flight sim! There is no better one. Grate physics, flight model lots of content because of all scenarios, static campaigns and dynamic campaigns random set of scenarios witch are generated based on your combat performance and general casualties. Game engine is old but there is still unofficial patch support redoing textures and improving graphics so it looks good.

Oct 4, 2014Well worth any price that will be asked. You will have to do some patching and a little modding to get it up to the community level for online play. Skiesoffire.org still run online servers to play for free!

Jul 31, 2011Extremely realistic and addicting, provides the best immersion experience in "hardcore" servers in multiplayer. Large learning curve for players who have never played flight-sims but nevertheless, was endlessly fun.

PC Gamer UKThis is the biggest and best combat flight sim money can buy, but it's by no means flawless. [Jan 2007, p.70]

Excellent gameplay and an amazing level of detail should make those who enjoy flight sims giddy (and may even convert a few that aren't into amateur flyboys).
