I was all set to purchase FC as I hear it is amazing in VR but learned there is no campaign or even single missions. I mostly fly SP, am terrible at MP, and every time I do fly MP I get mauled… if anyone is online. Such a shame.
Instead I’ll get Bodenplatte. It’s actually an incredibly good deal if you think about all the planes and maps it offers!
I pre-ordered because of the planes. They are some of my favorites so it was a “no brainer.” I’m not really a warbirds guy but the IL-2 series is too good to pass on.
Totally. The cockpit is sublimely beautiful. The attention to detail everywhere has the dial turned to 9 or 10. The sound is hair-raising. It flies like it looks. Big, stable, lumbering and tough.
No love for the British contingent? The Spit will out-turn anything in the sky and the Tempest feels like they took the best characteristics of a Thunderbolt (powerful engine, good ground attack) but still managed to make it maneuverable. They just seem to have a magic to them that the Yanks can’t quite match for me.
