Wait... what?

I used to love IL2 but the graphics were a bit poor compared to modern standards. Has this had an update?

 

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

I used to have IL2 as well. What's going on?! Lol

I used to play it in slow motion, cuz' it felt like the matrix.



And i was rubbish.

The videos don't do it justice. It's quite possibly the best looking game in VR.

I played my first campaign mission yesterday, I didn't even see the bombers I was supposed to intercept but I had a blast just flying through the way points and looking at the cloud effects.

I don't own VR yet, however I got a 4K 50" TV with TIR and even on a flat screen the new graphics and sounds are great. I'm having a blast!!!

But I can imagine that it will be breath taking in VR. The Multi player is also good, here PvP is actually fun and the "new" war server with it's TACTICAL AIR WAR Campaign.

The Tactical Air War (TAW) is not a simple dogfight server. We have created complex script which automatically analyze logs files after each mission.
Depending on the events during the previous mission next different mission is generated. There is some kind of continuity between all missions.
Intact tank convoys advance to capture enemy city. Destroyed defense lines will not be generated. Every single action has impact on the next missions.


To win the map you have to capture or destroy all the enemy airfields. We have divided large Stalingrad map into two smaller maps (center and south).
The campaign starts on center map.

Server settings:
* No object icons
* No navigation icons
* No kill notification
* No weapon locks
* No coalition balancer
* Death penalty 5min
*Mission duration ~2hours
