    I picked up Stalingrad, Moscow, Kuban & Bodenplatte during the recent IC2 sale. The plan is to play VR via Quest 2 and a Thrustmaster HOTAS. I have a lot of setting up to do, particularly with HOTAS, Keybinds and keyboard layout.

    I'm hoping that there are some Boardsies playing? I need to put in quite a few hours before I join a server but if anyone knows where the most Irish play? Let me know, along with any tips or tricks you have learned the hard way playing this game?

    IL2 1946 will never be surpassed .Crude-ish as ages but range of planes , maps , flight and damage models make it the king .Had a few goes in the one you mentioned years ago .Pitiful planeset .Arcade flight model .

    IL2 1946 with the SAS, BAT and IL2GE mods really do make 1946 a wonderfully long lived game. Breathes new live into it.

    That said, I can't agree with you that IL2 great battles has a poor/arcade style flight model. I do agree with you on the plane set tho, it's miniscule compared to modded IL2 1946
