I don't know what to say. I'm just so unhappy with Battle of Stalingrad. So much feels wrong about the sim.

Navigating menus shouldn't be this slow and clunky. It's like the application is waiting to query some DRM server on the other side of the moon, every single time I try to advance a day in a career. How hard is it to query a database and populate a spreadsheet?

Most of the careers are simply unplayable as far as I'm concerned, and I want my money back. I'm not going to spend forty five minutes crossing the English Channel or French countryside as an American, British or late-war German pilot. This was the single worst part of 1946 and I guess I'm just an idiot for thinking that in the better part of 2 decades, somebody would have figured out a more convenient form of time compression. No: they actually reduced it to 1.5x, and pretend like it goes as fast as it did before.

The worst thing is the money grubbing. I went into it with my eyes open, knowing the customer base is dominated by well-to-do hobbyist whales, and that modern day people, in general, lack the principle needed to not take advantage of such a market. I could see the store page and I could see how bad it was. What I didn't expect was to buy DLC and load in, just to be lied to in the game menu and told "yeah, you can join this squadron. You own this plane." Only to find out that the squadron doesn't get that plane until August, and unless I want to fly a piece of crap instead (or spend more money), all I can do is sit there and click "next day" for ninety minutes, until the squadron gets issued the plane I actually paid for.

It's a nice change of pace from DCS, and far better for WW2. I play DCS for when I want my brain to explode, I play this to relax. If you are buying DLC, get it when it goes on sale, also, really think about the flying circus, I enjoy it but the planes are not for everyone, slow and try to kill you.

If you are into WW2 aviation and are not expecting 'Study level' sim, get IL2, you'll love it.

10 fps no matter what i do and i am running a really new and good set up. now i have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hotas for no reason. just waste $500 dollars on something that does not work the game

I have not attempted a WW2 flight sim for about 25 years but I'm having a good time learning IL-2. It's provided what I wanted - an engine to provide a wide array of combat flight experiences.

I Can't Believe I Paid Almost $120 For The Tank Crew Deluxe edition Even When It Was On Sale 😭😭😭😭😭😭 i wouldnt pay more than $40 for this, it is very fun at first due to how realistic it is, and the ability to look inside a tank and finally understand how all these work after years of playing games like war thunder but then it eventually gets boring and or repetitive, still find it fun to revisit sometimes tho 7/10

After about a year playing and getting flying circus vol.1 recently this game is so good like i cant get enough of it the only downside is that setting up on VR is pain but i guess that is steams vr's fault i guess the really good side is the graphics even for its age its still good but a another negative is that the DLC ( i have 3 ) are very expensive and for me my money went after i bought the battle of bodenplatte but the grapics are good and the realism the crashes all that good !

Very realistic and bit technical. once you get the hang of it its imersive and enjoyable

If your potato pc cant play dcs and you're either a wehraboo, then this is the game for you.

Great game. The planes are a joy to fly and once you figure out the controles its pretty easy to pick up how the planes fly.
