Well, I know it's not exactly about WW2 and IL2 planes, but these ones are still historic and have propeller and pistons...
This is a video of a flight I made that remembered me so much to Il-2, in all moments...
Before takeoff, entering runway... when open formation was forming, looking for other planes, disimilar specs, the slower planes requesting to the formation to turn by radio to rejoin... I was in the mid plane of the formation, a Beech T-34 Mentor, so I could record it quite well.
When one of the planes of the tail section of the formation put on our 6, I just worried for a moment "oh, they got firing angle!"
On the low passes over the beach, I though that harbor was our target and tried to imagine flak shooting all around, and at the same time not loosing sight of the rest of the planes of the formation. Looking for other planes in reality is difficult, but the general fact that happens in IL2, that you see it better when their background is sky and not ground, is still very realistic.
Even without doing aerobatics, I recommend it to all that can make it, you have to experience this to value how much realistic Il2 is, and from then on, call it SIMULATOR, and not game.
