IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad

Fantastic! I've been a fan of WWII aviation since I was a kid, and this is more than I could have hoped for. The game mechanics are easily dumbed down so even an old, befuddled codger like me can enjoy it.

When you take a step back and realize how you absolutely need to have [b] at least multiple DLCs [/b] to do somewhat good in this game, then realize the money you've already spent on it (if you have) to still be lacking so much content. The price tag suddenly tastes way more bitter. [u] For context, I have every single major DLC except 'BoN' and "Flying Circus" + Some "Collector" planes [/u] And I know about sales and "Buy it slowly as it comes out, and the game's been out for a while" etc... But still, in 11 years, there doesn't seem to have been much [i] if any [/i] work torwards adding more to the base game itself. I'm already paying a standard price of 49€ for an increasingly tiny fraction of planes and nothing else... [h2] [i] [b]And you're telling me the prices are going up???[/b] [/i] [/h2] -Battle of: Kuban, Bodenplate & Moscow; [i] All 49€ [/i] -Battle of Normandy: [b] 59€ [/b] "Oh, but it's the latest and has cool pla-" [i] If you say that, re-read what I wrote ne...

very fun game, spent hours doing actually doing what you pretend to do in the war thunder shooting range. runs well, looks good and is incredibly detailed. only issue is pricing, just wait for a sale and you'll get a great game for a great price.

First try - had major performance issues until I forced my Nvidia settings to use the real graphics card instead of the integrated GPU. Before figuring that I refunded and almost gave up. HOWEVER: Second try - WOW. Amazing game. CAN be enjoyed with a mouse. I absolutely love it. If you fw WWII planes, this is the game for you! The flight model is amazing, controls are approachable and can be setup up easy, the Career mode is VERY realistic and nice. Even only doing quick missions with different plane types and setups. Honestly, I almost gave up on this game but I am extremely happy I didn't, cuz once I figured out the framerate issue I struck GOLD.

Game of the year every year.

I takes forever to load. My old CD version of this game was loaded faster but it seems is no longer supported. Very difficult to change planes and battles. As a suggestion please develope a dog fighting training mode to practice manovers with fighters and bombers and other planes. I liked the old CD better, but this one has much superior graphics

i play this in VR, it's so realistic i swear i sometimes smell the exhaust fumes

Unplayable. Frame rate is about one frame per second in menus, cant even really adjust the settings because of the poor framerate and mouse control. Pc can run COD, Cyberpunk, WWE2K25 and MSFS 20 and 24 on max settings , so its the game.

ran away from WT, best decision of my life
