Hi, guys.
I haven't played IL2 in a couple of years. I used to be pretty well adicted to it so when I bought a new house and moved I went cold turkey.
When I last played, we had 4.08. I used to fly full real on Hyperlobby. At that time, from what I can remember, this was how the game was:
a) No moving carriers. Take-offs were a bit tricky as were landings. But your carrier was always right where you left it!!
b) The weather never changed nor did time of day.
c) The types of aircraft that came with the game was what you got. No imports!!
d) No imported skins. You were stuck with the origionals, some of which were kinda crappy.
e) Crappy engine sounds. You could hear ground based artillery from your aircraft. You could hear the guy sneaking up on your six. Wierd stuff like that
f) The maps were the ones that came with the game and people adapted them to suit certain scenarios. Again, no imports.
I realise that some, if not all, of these things have been fixed. I've tried reading through the forums and have become completely confused. In what ways has the game changed over the years I've been away?
Would the computer I had then cope as well with all these mods or do I need an upgrade?
Thanks
