A diamond in the rough. Il-2 Cliffs of Dover (Il-2 CloD) has a lot going for it and the potential is there for something really excellent. But, at the moment, it's very much a flight sim for dedicated enthusiasts. For the base game, you can't go wrong for £8.49 but if you're a beginner you might find more immediate fun with DCS World or Il-2 Great Battles. For the more dedicated types and by this I mean more tolerant of rough edges, this sim offers a lot that others don't. It offers aeroplanes that are not simulated elsewhere like the Bristol Beaufighter and Blenheim; it models a lot of stuff internally that even more modern sims lack. For instance, if you get some bullet holes in your Spitfire wing you can see the spars, cannon etc. Moreover, unlike the more modern Il-2 Great Battles series, Il-2 CloD has many clickable buttons and switches meaning you don't have to map and memorise loads of bindings. There's a decent mission editor and although it's not quite as user friendly as the one in DCS World, it is leagues more friendly than the one in Great Battles. Finally, Il-2 CloD allows many more active units than many of its contemporaries, meaning it's possible to more accurately simulate large bomber formations etc. without bogging everything down. Further down the line, there are plans to introduce four-engine bombers like the B-17 and Lancaster. The caveats are that the user interface is a bit spartan and could do with an overhaul to make it more user friendly. The graphics are fine but more modern sims look better, for example the clouds in CloD are a bit basic currently (an update is in the works). Also, feature updates are on the slow side compared to its peers but this is a consequence of the development model which is done on a volunteer basis.

Hello, I am a frequent flyer! Neglect pre 2024 comments! Cliffs of Dover Blitz is not perfect, but with a little Batlle of Brittain determination there is a world of Flight Sim enjoyment to discover. The Community is helpful!, suporting, funny and flight experienced. Conquer the game like the BOB pilots had to concquer the planes and their qualities. Curiosity requierd! Buy the Bundle!

Hidden gem - Older than Great Battles but its almost a deeper sim. Revived by Team Fusion and there extensive mod is now part of the default game. Better physics, flight model Full fidelity cockpits The true sequel to 1946. Looks good for its age, plays even better Still being worked on, about to release a multicrew 4 engine Bomber the B-17 which will be a first for WW2 flight sims. Prequel timeline to Great Battles - We can enjoy both.

Looking for most realistic WW2 dog fight? This flight sim is one of the best and will not disappoint you. Set all the parameters to max realism and enjoy the experience. Build your own scripted campaign. It will take some time to develop your skills but the satisfaction is definitely worth the investment.

I just got the game (at a major discount, it was only 10 euros for this and the Africa DLC). I already played IL2 GB Bodenplatte and Moscow so I can compare this to the GB series. I use TRack IR5 and a VKB Gladiator NXT and of course the keyboard. To be honest I was put off at first by the UI too, but after fiddiling with it for 15 minutes I think its actually okay and seems to get the job done. The UI and the Mixed reviews are what put me off from buying it innitially, but many of the negetive reviews are people complaining that they cant get their joystick bound or that they cant play because they have no joystick. Some Other negative reviews are quite old and I think the Issues that they are addressing have already been patched. But many of the reviews probably have merit. I obviously didnt listen to them as the game was cheap enough for me to wager it. just to be clear YOU NEED A JOYSTICK TO PLAY THIS and I SUGGEST A HEADTRACKER SUCH AS TRACK IR OR OPENTRACK I did not enocounter Issues with binding the axis and buttons, the Joystick configuration wizzard (a seperate program in the Installation files) is much more easier to use than the ingame controll settings page. When I started the game there was a populated server and I joined and Introduced myself. A few minutes later I joined "the air tactical assaultgroup" and two nice chaps helped me to start my plane and to take of. In the under two hours I played this game I managed to fly a hurricane through a hangar and had a lot of fun. It seems like this game was made by 1C was released in a sorry state and then was picked up by a Team of community modders who develop and sell it. Thats really comendable. From what I experienced the Flight Model feels more introcate than the ones from the IL2 GB series and almost as good as the DCS ones do. The Graphics are decent. It looks like War Thunder did in 2015. It is runnning much better than IL2 GB does on my GTX1070 in 4k and does NOT require 64 GBs of ram like DCS does. The sounds also are much better than in IL2 GB in my opinion. I did not experience any negative things except that the bullets may look a little bit fake and you cant drive around all over the map in your plane. For some reason It doesnt even feel as clunky as IL2 GB does, although I expected it to be even worse. I think this game has its flaws, but also excells at other parts. So ask yourself. Do you want to fly in Nort Africa? then get this game and the dlc. Do you want ww2 combat but have a PC thats nearing almost 6 years old? then get this game. You want clickable Cockpits but feel DCS is lacking in your favourite Plane? then get this game. You feel like the IL2 GB series has a flight model thats unnrealistic? then get this game. You dont like how 1C is treating former employees and exploiting its customers? then get this game. You want to Torpedo a ship in a bomber? get this game then! You want to use Teamspeak/discord and join some sort of Group? then get this game and join a Group, they often also You want to hop on a Multiplayer server 24/7 and expect it to be full? then get War Thunder even IL2GB doesnt have that. You want smart AI to fight with and against? I Honestly dont know hw the AI is here, butt I assume its not the greatest, only DCS AI is the best out there and its lacking. You want the best textured Cockpits? Go with IL2 GB then, they look stunning. I think I am going to move on from the GB series to this, I spent more money than I want to admit on GB and while GB has many positives on its side, but the fact that this runs so smooth on my seven year old PC and has so many unique planes I have never flown before are enough.
